I guess it goes without saying that should the Wings take a 2-0 lead?  You can start thinking about the lame excuses you’ll use to get out of work for the parade.  Pens win?  Little Gary rejoices and we’ve got ourselves a series.

Reminder:  Predict the game’s first scorer in the comments.  First one to get it right gets a program from Game 1.

Name the song without looking it up and you get…well, nothing really.  But you’ll be cool.

TSN reported before the game that someone set off the fire alarm at the Penguin’s Hotel in Detroit at 1:30am last night. They had to evacuate their rooms.

Also, after they returned back to their rooms and went back to bed, someone phoned their rooms and woke them up again to tell them that there was no fire and that everything was ok and they could go back to bed.

They even had video of the team standing around in the hotel lobby waiting to go back to their rooms late last night. I thought that was pretty funny

Cruise Control Baby, I am loving Life.

Roberts hit should get a look by the league, but it won’t.

NHL is all gaga about the Pens.  But that was one of the cheapest shots I can recall. Pathetic, and classless.

No fan of the NHL should approve of anything like that.

Ok, so my “ripping on” Sammy and Filpulla worked for games one and two… any suggestions for my next victim? Malts? Huds?

Lilja

Lilja would need a LOT of ripping to make that happen.

I say send Lilja out to just blatantly run Fleury.  then Chelios can take his spot for the suspension.

He should be thrown from the game for the hit on Ozzie.  The league needs to look into that one.

He didn’t hesitate to throw down with the much bigger Roberts who grabbed him intentionally.  OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE

Pavel Datsyuk = BIG BALLS

AC/DC said it best:
I’ve got big balls
I’ve got big balls
They’re such big balls
And they’re dirty big balls
And he’s got big balls
And she’s got big balls
(But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all)

smile Freaking A… GO WINGS!

Chief, regarding your prediction, I think you got one thing wrong—with no points in these first two games, I think GBB’s Conn Smythe chances just went up in smoke.  Of course, with the second straight shutout, Ozzie’s have rocketed…

But then, maybe we’re being too tough on Croz-Bee.  After all, it’s not like any OTHER Pissburgh players have had any points on the board in this series either.

In any case, Ozzie with another Cup as a starter and possibly a Conn Smythe and maybe he finally gets the recognition he deserves…and eventually HOF membership.

Oh, and how sweet would it be to see none of the major deadline deals (Foote, Richards, Hossa, etc.) win the Cup, while the savvy trade (Stuart) does?  Nice.

GRIALB—Gary Roberts Is A Little Bitch.
ASIMT—And So Is Maxime Talbot.

Stuart had the best game I’ve seen him play, especially in the first half.  He was tremendous.  Datsyuk was the other standout for me.  If he spoke English just a little more comfortably, I think he’d probably be the frontrunner as captain after Lidstrom.

Penalty kill looked weak, and power play too, although they weren’t even trying half the time.

OK, so Osgood is the 4th goalie in history to start the Stanley Cup Finals with two shutouts.  2nd goalie in history to start his career 6-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals.

a couple more to add to his “why he should go to the hall of fame” list.

And maybe they’ll stop talking about he’s the worst goalie to ever win a Stanley Cup.

I got big balls
Big ole balls
Big as grapefruits
Big as pumpkins
Yes sir, yes sir
And on my really good days
They swell to the size of small dogs
My balls are as big as small dogs

Well, it ain’t braggin’ if it’s true
Yes sir, yes sir
It ain’t braggin’ if it’s true
Mohammed Ali said that
Back when he was a young man
Back when he was Cassius Clay
Before he fought too many fights
And left his brain inside the ring

Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods
Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods

...

If certain girls don’t look at you
It means that they like you a lot
If other girls don’t look at you
It just means they’re ignoring you
How can you know, how can you know?
Which is which, who’s doing what?
I guess that you can ask ‘em
Which one are you baby?
Do you like me or are you ignoring me?
Do you like me or are you ignoring me?
Do you like me or are you ignoring me?
And all you need to do that
Is one good pair of big balls
Balls as big as grapefruits
Balls as big as pumpkins
Balls as big as mine

But even though my balls are big
Sometimes i wish they were bigger
Even bigger
Big as the wheels on tractors
Big as the golden arches
Big as the Golden Gate Bridge
Big as the state of Kansas
Big as Mars and Jupiter
Big as the swing of Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods
