2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs

Wow, Goalie Bob's not gonna like that stat
Problem is, Vegas is usually pretty good at what they do.

Might I remind you vegas was also calling for the Hawks to win against Detroit prior to the series starting.... I think Vegas has short term memory loss when it comes to how good the blackhawks are gonna be... I also think that the bears will be in the superbowl this year with cutler around, but we will see.

That will be interesting.

1. Who is Cutler going to throw to? He had Marshall and Royal- I don't completely trust Hester as a wideout, as well as their other WR's.

2. On the other hand, they have a very easy schedule.

3. Can their running back stud improve on his sensational rookie season?

4. Can the defense step up?

 

[goaliebob99]

Yep we will see.... Well guys. The NHL season is over.. Congrats to the Penguins... With that said next year will be an exciting year for the NHL as not only do we have the Penguins defending the cup, over on the western confrence, we have the wings and the Hawks who will be just as hot next year as they were this year. With that said, Im closing out this years playoff thread as we go into NHL offseason mode. Untill next season, wich starts in just about 30 days with the Blackhawks convention and other teams convetions. Untill then, wach some baseball, or go attend an NFL trainning camp and watch some Stinkin NFL. Once the 09-10 season starts Watch out!

Well, those of us in PA are very happy.

Philadelphia Phillies (Pirates would have been better)
Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Penguins
and even the Hershey Bears.

What's next? Penn State?

Don't forget Pitt being a drive away from going to the Final Four.

 

[Derwin0]

Don't forget Pitt being a drive away from going to the Final Four.

True, I forgot about that.

 

[cybok0]

True, I forgot about that.

Now all we need is the Pirates to actually become a real baseball team.

 

[cybok0]

The Penguins will have their victory parade today at noon. No way am I going downtown this afternoon, I'll never get back out.

 

[Ramy]

Now all we need is the Pirates to actually become a real baseball team.

Yeah right.

 

[cybok0]

Yeah right.

Maybe someday.

Yeah right.

Maybe someday.

The world will be at peace when they do.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

No offense Jimbo.

I think people don't like Crosby because he is the face of the NHL. Just like Gretzky, people didn't like him either unless he played for their team.

Crosby is gonna get a lot of the attention along with Ovechkin, who I hate, other teams and fans are gonna hate them because of it.

Flyer fans and the team really hate him, the rivalry adds to it.

I personally don't care what jimbo, Paul or anyother fan who doesn't like him say about him because he's not on their team, I would probably do the same <Cough>Ovechkin<Cough>.

I do believe what Crosby said and I do believe Draper believes what he said. It doesn't matter, the game is over. Yeah Crosby might have been doing something prior to the handshake, but there is video evidence that he did shake hands.

Hey, how did I get dragged into this? I don't recall any post where I said anything disparaging about Crosby, or the Penguins for that matter. I did some trash talking during the playoffs, and it was all in jest. But I ate defeat here pretty well I thought.

 

[mccoyrj]

... I ate defeat here pretty well I thought.

This isn't about you Nostra.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

That's MR. Nostradumbass.

The ratings are in.......

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals was the most-watched NHL game in 36 years.

The game drew 8 million viewers. That's modest for a football or basketball playoff. For hockey in the United States, however, it's a huge number and not matched since a 1973 game between Montreal and Chicago (which drew 9.4 million).

Overall, the series averaged 5.6 million viewers for five games on NBC, the best showing since 2002 (which aired for three games on ABC). NBC won Friday in the adult demo as well, averaging a 3.2 rating.

Game 7 was certainly worthy of that number! :up

 

[SabresRule]

Quite a turnaround from the days of record-low ratings.

The NHL is becoming must-see TV!
