Has anyone else noticed the, er, somber tone the broadcast took after the Wings WON THE STANLEY CUP?
But, really, the Pitt-favoring broadcasters were incapable of hiding their disappointment in Baby Sid losing the Cup. From the buzzer to the time Gary (ass) gave Lids the cup, they just kept talking about the Pens losing. I’ve never heard announcers less excited about a championship.

So Melrose finally picked one right. Wings in 6.

In the voice of Dave Chappell as Rick James: I’m game six, bitch!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/04/08 at 10:09 PM ET
Yes! YES! YES YES YES YES!
Oh, man. This feels so sweet.
‘Fleury sits….he scores!’
And not even Lilja could stop the Red Wings.

Aaaaand, I’m spent.
The wifey is home, soaking up her first Stanley experience, and we’re of for… hopefully celebratory mouth-hugs.
Love each and every one of you, thanks to Bill and Paul for providing a forum for us miscreants.
THIS is how we roll, bitches.

I’m still giggling over Gabriel’s line from ...when? ....“Lilja will probably hand the cup off to a Penguin.” That’s some funny stuff right there..forgive me .....

Still waiting for Uncle Mike to raise the cup…

Stanley Cup champions. The fourth Stanley Cup in eleven years. God bless them. God bless all of you crazy people as well. Thank you, thank you God. And by “God” I mean “Henrik Zetterberg”.
Posted by TDeters on 06/04/08 at 10:10 PM ET
F*ck the announcers…this is ours and the team’s to celebrate. I ain’t even listening to them.
Showing another one of the Cup Changes Everything ads…Z the only one to do one and make it past the second round.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 06/04/08 at 10:10 PM ET
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, my friends!
thanks to the rest of the 19 for great entertainment during this run. WINGS RULE! Detroit WINS! I love it!

And don’t overlook him…D-Mac. What a story. What a heart. What a guy.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 06/04/08 at 10:13 PM ET
Team Dub still dealing out the verbal beat downs. I’m proud to be on the receiving end.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 06/04/08 at 10:14 PM ET
D-Mac: If anyone wants to call Ozzie the worst goalie to win the cup, I’ll punch em in the mouth!
Posted by Osrt on 06/04/08 at 10:14 PM ET
Congrats! Have fun and take good care of the Cup.
Posted by David Lee from Greensboro, NC on 06/04/08 at 10:15 PM ET
They’re talking to Cleary about his career from three years ago, bottom of the scrap heap, to today. Great story. And some buddies from back in Harbour Grace for him!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 06/04/08 at 10:15 PM ET
How ironic, Bob Errey doing the on-ice interviews for NHL On the Fly!!
Interviewed Ozzie, Nick, and Hank.
They have all learned well from 19, all class!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 06/04/08 at 10:15 PM ET

*#$%@& yeah.
‘Tis sweet to live in Dive-Land on a night like tonight.
Seriously, Congrats to the Boys, Uncle Mike, The Braintrust, the 19, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, all the Firetrucks and Hookers out there, Barack Obama, Ron McLean, Mom and Dad, etc.!!! And Dallas Drake and Charlie mo-fo-in’ Buckets!!!
GO WINGS!
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 06/04/08 at 10:17 PM ET
And now Drake. How great is that to see?
Gone awfully quiet round here…are you all passed out?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 06/04/08 at 10:17 PM ET
Live feed of the post game presser via the Wings page.
Now the question is: how much money to blow on Cup merch, and when’s the parade, bitches?
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 06/04/08 at 10:18 PM ET
Night all. Congratulations. And, honestly, it’s been all that much better experiencing this whole thing with all of you.

Chief unbelievable…so much better with The 19 at my side all the way through.
“THIS IS HOW WE ROLL MOTHERFUCHERS!!!”

CBC is still broadcasting. I’m not crashin yet Andrew!
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 06/04/08 at 10:19 PM ET
I wish I was back at home in Detroit.

Mule to Bob Errey: “best feeling I’ve ever had!”

*#$%@& Christ, Ozzie with a HUGE BALLSY SAVE with a second left.

“When I looked up and saw the game clock and it read zero zero zero, I was a pretty happy man” - Hank, with the understatement of the year
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 06/04/08 at 10:23 PM ET
Eat that shit Pittsburgh! Your fans are a real class act. You guys suck.
That my friends, is how you can tell a bandwagoner from a real fan. A real fan only boos’ Claude Lemieux.
Posted by cementslinger from Midland MI on 06/04/08 at 10:24 PM ET
Jennifer: Me too. I’d love to be out on the town celebrating right now.
That, and I could get away with calling into work due to a cup victory there. I tried to do that here in ‘02, and was asked “What’s a Stanley ...Cup? Did you have too much to drink last night or something?”
Yeah, technically my boss called me on it. I got smashed. But still. He didn’t know what the Stanley Cup is! Blasphemy!
Posted by Alan from Atlanta on 06/04/08 at 10:24 PM ET
This has been a great experience to be able to have the Hasek car to come to and get to hang out with the 19.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/04/08 at 10:25 PM ET
yep Cephalopod, CBC showed the puck hit him at 1.2s remaining. It then dribbled down the side and hit the near post at 0.0s
It was nearly a heart attack of epic proportions. It would’ve trumped 34.7 10,000-fold.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 06/04/08 at 10:25 PM ET
CBC is still broadcasting. I’m not crashin yet Andrew!
True grit Nate. Hell, it’s 5:30 AM here, going on dawn, and I ain’t quittin’ till they stop broadcasting!
Interviewing Kronner, the old line from Babs—“If we’d had Niklas Kronwall in the playoffs last year, we don’t go out against Anaheim—we win the Cup.”
I wish I was back at home in Detroit.
Me too Jennifer. Me too. More than you might ever know.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 06/04/08 at 10:26 PM ET
Nick at the podium:
I’ve been thinking about who I would hand the Cup to since the first round—
Drake was here when I got here
All class!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 06/04/08 at 10:27 PM ET
FUchin NBC nothing is more sacred than the 11:00 pm time. All Hail CBC, I wish I could watch.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 06/04/08 at 10:28 PM ET
This is your Stress Train conductor speaking. Last stop: Serendipity. Last stop: Serendipity
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago...nope, still not over it. on 06/04/08 at 10:29 PM ET
I’m not crashing until NHL on The Fly goes off—
I wanna hear Babs on the podium!!!
That MotherFu@#er deserves a huge raise!!
Three game 6 wins on the road. That is some frigging coaching!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 06/04/08 at 10:29 PM ET
yep Cephalopod, CBC showed the puck hit him at 1.2s remaining. It then dribbled down the side and hit the near post at 0.0s
At least that makes it conclusive, Nate—no question from the media about whether there was a tying goal, no controversy, no Hull-like call, etc.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 06/04/08 at 10:32 PM ET
If I was at home I’d be at the Post downtown. As it is we’re getting crazy drinking.
