Two down Detroit, two to go :up:
Can you boys say Game 7? I knew you could..and I said Detroit in a tough series will win in 7. I am rooting for neither side, because I like a lot about both teams. No bad guys in this one...
As for Peter Zezel, a true loss. I was on the road when he passed away and we really miss men of that quality in hockey. He wasn't just an ex pro, he did a lot for minor hockey and the immigrant communities being exposed and introduced to hockey in Toronto. The guy bent over backwards to be there for people and was truly a first class gentleman.
Only the good die young...godspeed Peter....
Tonight is the night. Seventh game..... Go Detroit :bounce:
**** it :dozey:
What a game, finally someone other than Detroit, although very little class from the fans with the trophy presentations.
WTG PITT!!! :D

He is NOT popular up here and I suspect the Windsor contingent was the source of the booing.
OH well, it was an excellent final game and I enjoyed seeing Sid hoist ole Stanley. The kid is a remarkable guy for 21 and a Captain of a Stanley Cup winning team.
BTCC2, by the way, your theory of how good British Hockey is will be tested this September. Both the Hamilton Bulldogs and Toronto Marlies of the AHL (one step below the NHL) will be coming over to play an exhibition game this fall's training camp season and they are supposed to be playing Belfast of your league. Most of the AHL guys are just shy of NHL caliber with a few promising prospects who might be in the NHL later on in the next year or sooner. It may be the closest one of the UK teams gets to playing a NHL quality team, and although it is preseason for the AHL guys and the UK guys, it might be an interesting litmus test for how far the British league has come.
Apparently Black Hawks are building a Stanley Cup team for next season. What trades do you guys think as succesfull for both, the team and the palyer, in advance?
My dream would be Saku Koivu centering Selänne in Ducks :up:
Signing Hossa didn't come cheap, which puts serious limitations on the team budget. They didn't have room in their budget cap to resign Khabibuin. Also, they lilkely won't have the cash next year to renegotiate both Toews and Kane. One of the two will have to go.
On the other hand, Deadmonton acquired a badly needed net-minder :mark:
Saku to the Ducks... I'd puke :s
The Habs dump Higgens and pick up Gomez :up:
Will be hosted by Edinburgh Capitals, don't hold much hope of them doing much but Belfast could cause a shock. I'll be getting my tickets straight away.Quote:
