Great series.  Hawks had a great season and have nothing to be shamed about.  Too bad this series wasn't the final.  It will be hard for the next series to live up to it.  I hope it's as great though.

Go NY. Hopefully we tired LA enough.

I want to rant but I'm just going to bed now.

Ok Dinny, I can now cheer for the Rangers.

 

Ditto.

/\    /\   /\    /\    /\   You guys are now off my Christmas list.  Bah!

It's a shame that series went 7+. 

Fucking Kings had no lead in regulation but got the only lead that counted.  Now it will be easy to root for the winning team in the finals.  Rangers are going to smoke the Kings.

Yeah, I can hear you crying way down here, Dinny.

 

Condolences, Hawks fans ... we Bruins diehards feel your pain.

From another forum, forgot I had a reason not to root for the Rangers.    Still will probably root for them, but hope the series is just great hockey either way

 

If you are unsure which team you should root for in the Stanley Cup Final, just know that one team winning means Ulf Samuelsson gets his name on the Cup again.

Uncertainty over.

 

Ulf was the Matt Cooke of his era.....dirty fuck helped end Cam Neely's career.

Here we come NY!

 

Monkey, I went to one Kings game 20 years ago, may I still call myself a fan   (I almost feel like rooting for NY just to support your awesome fandom this season, but that is an almost...)

The more haters the better, this team only really performs when expectations are at their lowest, which makes for multiple heart attacks along the way and more temper tantrums and even more new and creative curse words combinations learned by Little Monkey.

 

I don't have a good sense of what the fan base in LA is like.  Are they devoted or fair weather fans?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Go Rangers.

That's easy, we like the teams that are winning.    Any other questions?  

And we don't like NFL football.  It's the second most boring televised sport.

The first must be golf or tennis or something like that... you can't seriously think that baseball is boring!  Heck, you've even got Vin Scully in your neck of the woods!  There couldn't be a more interesting sport, in my opinion, than our nation's passtime.

They're devoted to fair weather.  Not so much to the Kings.

Al and Dinny will be relieved that I'm throwing my support behind the Kings.

I was thinking of darts.  It's fun enough to do but terribly boring to watch.

Seriously? Guys standing around for most of three hours is interesting? (I kid).... I do love baseball though. You can fall asleep in the bottom of the second, wake up in the top of the eighth and still have an hour's worth of game to watch.

Baseball, the sport where the statistics about the game are more exciting than the game.

 

So there.

Baseball on television, beyond boring.

Baseball at the park, not boring.

This I could agree with.

If you've taken the time to study the statistics in advance, and you're drinking heavily.

Baseball Drinking, behaving unruly, and enjoying others doing the same at the park, not boring.

 

Fixed.....

Statistics are my life and drinking is my religion. Next ...
