Hockey

Bruins dropped the opener to Flyers, 2-1. Flyers scored at the end of first period. Bs couldn't score after that.

Found this site that deals with the more intricate parts of the game: http://www.hockeyfights.com/

^ Speaking of which, who says Scandinavians don't fight: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Fight-Video-Chaos-in-Finland-leads-to-439-penal?urn=nhl-wp18331

Take THAT, Don Cherry!! :beatyou:

Hockey night in SoCal, Teemu Selanne returns to Winnipeg for the first time in 16 years:http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/preview;_ylt=Aos7s2ohNiZc4HsQMOaHwlF7vLYF?gid=2011121728

:woot:

Jets won 5-2, but in a classy move by the Jets, Selanne was named #3 star so he could get one last ovation from the crowd. :thumbsup:

Kings beat Vancouver 4-2 last night to go up 2-0 in the first round!! :victory: :shocked:

But these are the Kings so I'm not counting my chickens before they cross the road. 10 days from now the 'Nucks could be moving on the second round after beating the Kings 4 games to 2.

Who needs the Lakers or the Clippers because, , , ,


THE KINGS ARE GOING TO THE STANLEY CUP FINALS!!!

OK...

It all starts on Wednesday. :victory:

I'm cheering for the Kings, but that's as far as it goes. No face painting for me, must be a New Jersey thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYeRDCWU1HA

LOL, once you mentioned the face painting, I knew you were referring to Puddy. :rofl:


"We're the Devils...... Arrrrrrrr!!!!!" :hehe:

Kings win the opener, 2-1, in OT over the Devils. :woot:

I think every game is going to be like this. Not good for the nerves. :sweat:

Amazingly, the Kings have yet to lose a road game. :bow:

Kings beat the Devils in OT again, 2-1.

Game three at Staples on Monday.

If the Kings do win this thing, the person I'll be happiest for is Bob Miller.

He's been broadcasting the Kings' games since 1973. That's 39 years, and except for this season and the Gretzky years there hasn't been a whole lot to cheer about.

Gotta win it for Bob!! :woot:

Kings rout the Devils, 4-0, at the Staples Center.

Game four on Wednesday. :fingerscrossed:

I'm not counting my chickens before they cross the road, but it's looking very good!! :woot:

Yup... Supposedly there have been three (four?) instances where the 0-3 team came back to win it all. :sweat:

Only three. Leafs in '42, Islanders in '75, and Flyers in 2010. Of course, Blackhawks and Red Wings nearly pulled it off last year.

Hope the Kings win it, Doughty and Carter are from my hometown, so I'll probably go to their "Day With The Cup" celebration players do. Been a fan of them, including Mike Richards, since their junior days in the OHL.
