what would have happened in chicago if the flyers won game seven and chris pronger won the conn smythe? if your answer isn't "booing" then you're a liar. except that jonathan toews isn't a huge douche that is hated by everyone in the nhl nice comparison though lol, well assuming that everyone thinks pronger is a huge douche and hates him (which they don't, but clearly you don't know anything about how the rest of the players in the league view him) then replace pronger with danny briere and let me know what hawks fans would have done if he'd scored the overtime winner. toews didn't score the ot winner the point is that booing the conn smythe winner is weak when that player has given you no reason to boo him
Niemi didn't have any great games in the finals, but he saved our asses twice. Once after they tied it and once in the OT. Amazing saves or we would be pissing our pants about Friday night. i wonder how carter feels about that chance he missed

joel quennevile can't coach in the postseason? - gone curse of hossa? - gone patrick kane can't play in the playoffs? - gone niemi can't win a stanley cup? - gone what else am i missing?
what a storybook way to end it too. it had to be kane or toews, didn't it? after it happened, all i kept saying to my brother is "patrick kane just won the stanley cup... patrick kane just won the [expletive] stanley cup"
Not surprising. CBC had better coverage of the goal. It's hilarious that Kane and Sharp were really the only 2 that knew it was in the net. Niemi's reaction to Kane jumping on him was hilarious. i like how sharp blew by a confused andrew ladd and basically knocked him out of the way
I love you too dexter. Wow this is weird. :-)) when you win a championship, it transcends sports. i could never explain this feeling to someone who isn't a sports fan. it's a cliche thing to say, but nobody can EVER take this away. every big goal this season, every big moment... it meant something. they [expletive] did it
Yep. It was a great moment. They're popping the champagne. Kane's pretending to whack off. "for that little kid i saw crying after we lost game 4 in 1992, you waited 18 years, but i hope you're happy" "chicago blackhawks man. i didn't get to do that" love roenick
i mentioned the possibility of this (apprehensively) at the beginning of the playoffs in a single year, jonathan toews- - won gold medal in the olympics - won award for best forward at the olympics - won stanley cup - won conn smythe at 22 years old. i mean, seriously.... think about that for a second. i imagine that has to be the best hardware year ever for a hockey player JONATHAN TOEWS
i haven't read through this thread yet so i dont know if it's been mentioned, but did you guys see roenick crying after the game talking about how "it's chicago" and "i never got to do this"? it was pretty emotional.
obviously i have no idea how i'll feel months from now, but right now i feel like next season will just be relaxing to watch with no expectations. all i ask from them next year is that they be competitive and give me a reason to watch, and we know they'll do that. man, we are stanley cup champions. STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS
please please please please please the bears can go 4-12 next year. the bulls can end up getting only joe johnson in the offseason. the cubs can continue being the cubs JUST PLEASE LET US WIN THIS GAME
Considering Philly has only 1 SOG in 3 PPs - and unfortunately that one shot contributed to their goal - but I'd say 1 SOG in 4.5 to 5 minutes of PP time for the Flyers is not "atrocious PKing". perfect example of why SOG doesn't tell you anything So you'd be alright with it being 3-1 Philly, as long as the 'Hawks looked better on the penalty kill, IYO? yeah, that's exactly what i said

we really need to stop taking penalties because our PK is atrocious right now. all 3 power plays consisted of the flyers just dancing around own zone at will and wtf was keith doing there? maybe you should get a stick on that guy considering you're covering nobody else. this is kind of a big game.
He's been strangely absent from this thread since before game 5. I think he said something about traveling but still. He was so cocky about being certain that the Hawks were going to lose the series. They still might, but I think he was saying it would be in 6 games. he was just trying to reverse jinx it (sulley it).
why do i get the feeling that kyle is in the corner of a dark room in the fetal position saying "please one more win, please one more win, please one more win" over and over again to himself right now?
since 1900, strasburg is only the 6th pitcher to throw 7 innings or less, strike out 14 or more, and walk none. not the 6th player to do it in his debut, the 6th player to do it at all. and lol @ setting the franchise k record in your first start
