Hey brotherdave do you have a suggestion about sports bars. I once was at the Anahiem ESPNZone while the Avs were playing the Kings during the play-offs (it was the game Peter Forsberg ruptured his spleen) and it was rockin' fun.

There's a few bars in Downtown Pittsburgh within walking distance of the Arena, too. There's also a few decent sports bars across from PNC Park that might be good, too. They get pretty crowded, especially for some of the big games here and especially when the Pirates are playing at home (for obvious reasons). Personally, I like Atria's inside PNC Park, mainly for the food since I can't drink anymore. Being Pittsburgh, I'm sure it won't be hard for you to find a decent sports bar. They're just about EVERYWHERE here!

I don't remember if Morrow came back. It seems as if a few of the Red Wings players don't care for those two. This harkens back to why I don't care for the Red Wings. If you win by hurting the skill players of the opposing team, you beat them, but not at hockey.

Originally Posted By dshyates Take it from an Avs fan. It sucks. Especially to be swept by the Red Wings.
Originally Posted By brotherdave I'm sure the Flyer fans are feeling the same way right now! (Sorry Fe Maiden...) PENGUINS WIN GAME 3, 4-1!!!! Get out the brooms, I think they may get another sweep!!! It is definitely a very sweet feeling being on the winning side for a change!

I caught a little of the Wings / Stars game the other night. I missed the Modano & Morrow hits dshyates wrote about, but did notice the the Wings were really controlling the neutral zone...would not let the Stars in.

Originally Posted By brotherdave It looks like the Championship calilbur Penguins decided not to show up in Philadelphia tonight. Flyers are leading 3-0 at the end of the first period.

Originally Posted By brotherdave I have to hand it to the Pens for coming back with 2 goals and almost tying it up in the third, but, Game 4 goes to the Flyers 4-2. I still feel that the Penguins will prevail and win Game 5 on Sunday in Pittsburgh! They're not going to let the Flyers take one on home ice!
Originally Posted By dshyates Congrats Fe Maiden. Sorry brotherdave. I missed the game tonight. Both my girls 7, 12. danced in their spring recital. It was fun Got to see the Ex. The ex Inlaws, The Exs new husband. And 2 hours of bad dancing. I would rather have had a root canal. At least they give you novacaine for a root canal. I need novacaine to deal with my ex. She has a way of hitting a nerve. It was good to see MY girls dance I just didn't want to see everyone elses girls dance. But as a parent you do the right thing. So I go and at least enjoy watching all the kids try so hard. Every famous dancer had a first recital and I am sure it sucked.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle I was glad to see the the Flyers took one last night. I really hate to see any team get swept in a playoff series. So funny about the recital, dshyates. We went and saw our niece in a ballet recital a couple of years ago. Longest afternoon of my life! Truly. Like you said, loved seeing her dance, but sitting through the rest of the show was pretty brutal. Back on-topic... We may know who's going to the Stanley Cup finals by the end of the weekend!
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD dshyates - I understand about the dance recital. I haven't been to a dance recital, but I have been to many choir concerts where I don't think a right note was hit the entire time. I hope we don't have our finalist this weekend as I am hoping for our miracle.
