    dvr'd the replay of the game from 4 AM on NHLN and watching the whole thing. i'm glad edzo finally stopped biting his tongue when they called that EMBARRASSING penalty on hossa.that's the one word i kept saying when that happened live. just an embarrassing call. it was pretty disgusting how the refs clearly wanted to play a factor in the game. i don't mean in favor of philly, but just in general. the 2nd call on pronger was pathetic too. it's game 6 of the stanley cup finals. stop trying to impact the game you morons.

    What if we don't win the draft lottery to get Kane? What if we don't lose the draft lottery to get stuck with Barker instead of Ovechkin or Malkin? Here's a fantastic one: What if Niemi doesn't beat out Crawford on the last day of exhibition season? sports are weird. it seems like it takes a perfect storm to win a championship, yet each sport has one team do it every single year.

    i was just watching the highlights of game 2 of the canucks series. that 5-3 goal to make it 2-0 early was definitely the low point of the playoffs. we looked DONE, and not in a "im too close to this team so i overreact when anything negative happens" way. they really looked finished.

    keith is a magician on the blue line, but i dont know what happened to him in terms of controlling the puck in our zone. it was a season long thing and never reallt corrected itself. i don't remember him doing it the previous season, but holy crap did that guy make a ridiculous amount of atrocious turnovers this season. still a badass though. one of the most fluid d-men i've ever watched

    The heart of it was that dexter thought that the March swoon was a sign of something fundamentally flawed with the team and that we'd crash and burn in the playoffs, especially without a new goalie. it was more than march though. they were decidedly average for a stretch of at least 2 months. in that stretch they were barely over .500, and had a goal differential of close to even. now that i look back on it, it was probably mostly what my brother kept claiming to be the problem at the time. they seemed to be coasting and lost the intensity. they're a young team, got off to a ridiculous start, and everybody was crowning them as champs. i think it even carried into the postseason just a bit in that nashville series. it wasn't until game 2 or 3 of the canucks series where i saw that fire and swagger come back. so maybe it was good that we ended up playing vancouver. it probably fired us up. it certainly fired byfuglien up. it makes you wonder about sooo many little things. what if we beat detroit on the final day of the regular season and get the 1 seed? everything would be different. what if we had gotten a goalie at the deadline? maybe that goalie sucks during the playoffs and we don't win anything. what if philadelphia loses the shootout to NY on the last day of the regular season and miss the playoffs? maybe we're playing washington or pittsburgh instead.

    On a dramatic, overtime game winner by the face of the franchise, to cap off an epic six-game series of high-scoring, one-goal games. :yahoo: after nearly being eliminated in the first round by a 7 seed, if not for a SH goal with seconds remaining and then an additional 4 minutes of PK in OT (if we go down 3-2 in that series, then the odds are that nashville would have won) and after being embarrassed in game 1 of the second series, followed by going down 2-0 immediately in game 2. seriously, i always forget about that. we looked COMPLETELY done when we went down 2-0 in game 2 of the vancouver series. i remember that's when i was watchin an online deef and could hear the announcers talking to each other during commercial breaks, saying stuff like "they are completely paralyzed", "they cant skate", and "i cant believe how lost they look" and then they went 12-3

    basically about whether or not our 2-3 month sucktitude in the second half of the season was more than just a slump

    and then milbury ruined it by being a dick

    and just imagine.... the hawks did it relatively "easily" by going 16-6, and never faced an elimination game. i can't even imagine how emotionally taxing it would be to go through 4 more tightly contested series, when you consider that this hawks run seemed ridiculously grueling as it is i live in florida and my brother is an obsessive lightning fan, so i remember following the lightning's run in 04. they blew a heartbreaker in game 6 of the ECF, followed it up with a close win in game 7, then were one goal away from elimination in OT in game 6 on the road against calgary in the SCF, won that game, and then won another close one in game 7. i still remember marty st. louis crying in the locker room afterwards like he had just been through war. so yeah, you never understand how emotionally taxing it is until you watch one of your teams go through all 4 series

    also loved emrick's line when they were in the pile posing for the pictures with the cup (always my favorite part of the celebration, btw). "they played and sacrificed like this for a ring that will be so gaudy they won't wear it every day, and for their name to be on a trophy that they cannot keep. but they can keep this memory"

    i can't stop watching the replay of toews handing hossa the cup. my little pet fear since right before the finals started was that hossa would have lose 3 straight cups. he became my favorite player this year and i knew how devastating it would be for him to lose 3 straight, not to mention the "curse of hossa" garbage that would grow larger. a couple days ago i was watching clips of the last 2 cup celebrations, and both times they showed hossa looking completely crushed on the bench as the other team hoisted the cup. i love how he delayed for a few seconds as toews was handing it to him, then finally grabbed it. you can tell when some guys feel awkward holding the cup (especially on the road), and you can tell when guys get a full emotional release from that specific moment. you could tell hossa was having the moment of his life when he was hoisting it.

    i'd like to formally state that in regards to the ongoing argument i had with kyle all regular season, he was right. i was wrong.

    the blackhawks won the stanley cup

    and that's probably why the rumor was created.

    I find it funny how willing so many are to blame Leighton, considering he had about the 2nd best save percentage and goals against average in the playoffs, and it could be argued quite easily that he outplayed Niemi. i think that would be a weak argument. leighton was flat out awful in the finals. niemi was average at worst, and stole game 2.

    a lot of those people probably didn't care about the hawks 2 months ago, but still cool to watch.

    well he just achieved legend status for me. knowing the physical nature of the flyers (and of a series like this in general) that takes serious balls
