Not a wise move for a league when you are trying to court a major channel for your product. I don't think the NHL is very happy with VS.

They need 2 more.
Originally Posted By dshyates Yeah, final score 6-0. No I don't think Dallas will pull it off. Pens East Conf. Champs.

As our Play-by-Play announcer, Mike Lange, today said "Lord Stanley, Lord Stanley, give us your brandy!!!" It has been an AWESOME year for the Penguins, and I look for great things in the finals from them. Whether its Detroit or Dallas, I think the Penguins will triumph - they're THAT good, imho!!! But, even if the unthinkable would happen and they don't win the Cup, we can't help but be entirely pleased with our Penguins!!! What a ride they have given us this year!!!! Now, only four more wins to go!!!!!

Originally Posted By LacyBelle I wasn't able to catch either of the games this weekend...too busy out and about. I did follow the scores when I could, though. Congrats to TXDISNEYNERD for living to fight another day. Condolences to Fe Maiden for the Flyers, but Congrats to brotherdave on the Pens being the Eastern Conference champs. I'm sorry I didn't get to see any of that game yesterday. It sounds like a great capper for them. Onto a date with Lord Stanley! Although Detroit has opened the door to the Stars in the last two games, I predict the Wings will put it away tonight. They'll likely draw inspiration from knowing the Pens are already resting and waiting.

Originally Posted By brotherdave Sorry, TXDISNEYNERD. At least Dallas made a respectable comeback. I'm totally psyched for the game Saturday!!! And for the first time in the playoffs this year, the Pens won't have "home ice" advantage. I still think they can win it all, though! Watch for the Pens to take Game One if they score early...

Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I am still proud of my Stars. At least they took it to a game 6. I am not a Pens fan, but I dislike the Wings so go Pens!!! I just hope it is a good series.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle I had the same feeling you do, TXDISNEYNERD. After being down 3 games to none, I was proud that my Sharks had at least made a series out of it at the end. Crosby, Malkin, and the group had better keep their heads up. The cheap shots will be coming. Go Pens!
Originally Posted By brotherdave Well, tonight is the start of the Stanley Cup in Detroit. Time for Crosby, Malken, and Co. to work their magic against the best defense in the league. Let's hope it works! GO PENS!!!!!!!
Originally Posted By dshyates 4-0 Wings. An entirely defensive game will not work against the Wings. They really are that good. Pens fans are stunned. Sorry, Brotherdave.
Originally Posted By brotherdave All I can say is, "Ughhh!". Not very pretty at all. They looked good during the 1st period, then fell apart after that. Hopefully Monday night will be better!!!! They certainly are capable of doing it!
Originally Posted By brotherdave Will someone please wake up the Penguins and let them know that they're in the Stanley Cup Finals???!!! The best offense in the league has yet to score a single goal! Pens lose Game 2, 3-0 Come on Pens, we know that you're better than this!!!
