Makes for an interesting game when my FIL goes to the Shark Tank and wears his Wings jersey. Never a dull moment.

The team I have seen this series gets very few penalties and are extremely skilled. Its really hard to at least not respect clean playing talented team. By the way Colorado just lost. We are with the Sharks and Rangers at down 3-0 for the series.

I truly feel that this is the Penguins year!

Originally Posted By dshyates It was wierd that when Avery took the hit last night and he was holding his side it reminded me of when Peter Forsberg ruptured his spleen and I mentioned it to my buddy. Its odd that when it first came across the wire it said cardiac arrest. I thought it was pretty odd because he is so young. Ruptured sleen makes a lot more sense.
Originally Posted By brotherdave Sorry to hear about Avery. Even though I'm hoping that the Penguins defeat the Rangers, we have to remember that they're all still people in those uniforms. I wish him the best and hope that he makes a complete recovery!
Originally Posted By dshyates "we have to remember that they're all still people in those uniforms." Unless, of couse, its a Red Wings uniform. Sorry couldn't resist. But you're right. Oh and Brotherdave, Since I left Colorado, the Pens have been my regular team, and I would love nothing more than for the Pans to slap the Red Wings stupid in the finals. Hell, I'd love to see anyone slap the Red Wings stupid (metaphorically, of course). And the Pens are having a great year, particularly the undefeated run through the play-offs. But I have been nothing less than amazed at the skill of this years Red Wings. They are literally skating circles around the Avs, and that isn't something that happens, EVER. So begrudgingly I am still going to have to pick the Wings as the Cup winner. (Great, now I have to go wash my fingers again).

I wouldn't have been able to handle the emotional stress of watching the game, so I'm not! LOL Keeping updated on www.chompboard.com and here, but there wasn't much update!!
