Now if the NHL can just get a deal going with a more widely distributed channel so we can actually watch the games!! [/ QUOTE ] I have watched the games...all of them.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 4 OTs before the Stars FINALLY closed this series out...4 of 6 games in the series went to OT...all these extra minutes are going to hurt them against the Wings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I didn't know that Bluefield cable had the vs. network. I knew they had FSP and CSN. My cable company has changed names again for the second time in the last two and a half years, but they still suck. They were Charter, then Suddenlink, and now Jetbroadband. I can afford Direct TV right now or a TV that has HD capabilities. I have the CSN out of DC which shows all the D.C. sports teams. I guess I'll have to go to bars that have the vs. network! lol How do you like those 4OT games Gman?? I've watch the Pens win one of those in D.C in '98. and I watched them lose one in Pitt to the Flyers in 2000. They rack your nerves as a fan!

The Stars have really impressed me thus far. They have found ways to win and Mike Modano is ageless! I'm really loving the trade for Marian Hossa after yesterday! lol Bring on the state championship series between the Pens and Flyers Friday night!! Go Penguins!!!!

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I seeing Dallas being far too worn out to hang with Detroit in the Western Finals. I say Detroit sweeps. Maybe Dallas can win one game, but I just dont see it with Detroits speed and defense with Zetterberg and Datsuk. If the Pens make the Cup Finals and beat Detroit, that would make it that much sweeter for me. I cant stand those Hockeytowners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs7695 185 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Pens win game one 4-2 behind the strength of two Malkin goals and he added a helper. Game two of the Red Wings and Stars is Saturday night and game two of the Pens and Flyers is Sunday night GO PENS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanFan 21 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 It's going to be the Pens and the Wings in the finals. I'll take the Pens in six. Hopefully, the Pens will be a player for the Cup for years if they stay healthy. It will give Pittsburgh something to root for, considering the Pirates' play the last 15 or so years. Rumor has it that ownership is pleased with the team so far this year. They didn't think a AAA team could win so many games at the major league level, lol.

[/ QUOTE ] I wouldn't be so sure about that just yet. Both series just started and the Stars are already down 2-0. The Flyers have had a habit of going on runs after they lose their opening game of the series. Anything can still happen. As far as the Pens keeping that team together after this run, I don't see it. It's up to those players if they want to stay in Pittsburgh and take pay cuts to do, but five of those guys with the biggest one being Marian Hossa, have contracts that are up and they have paid some big bucks to Crosby, Fleury, and Malkin already. It's going to be hard for Lemieux to keep that team together after July 1 when those contracts are up. I read in Pittsburgh Post Gazette last week that the Penguins are getting close to a tie with the Steelers for popularity amongst the fans in Pittsburgh.

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Like I said in an earlier post, it wouldnt surprise me if the Stars get swept by Detroit. Dalls is tired from all of their tough games leading into the conference finals and Detroit is just too strong. Unless there is some miracle on both sides, looks like we're heading for a great series between the Wings and Pens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhs7695 185 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Looks like the Red Wings have a firm hold on the series at 3-1 and have a chance to hoist the cup once agin Monday night in Detroit. Odds are stacked against my Pens to come back as they have not played well against all that talent and exerience the Wings have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 After 109 minutes the Penguins finally put an end to the game in triple overtime. Nevermind that the Red Wings had almost 60 shots on goal to Pittsburgh's 30, Fleury played unconscious in the goal tonight. It would've been sweet to win it in Detroit in front of the home fans, but I guess it will be nice to go into Pittsburgh now and do it in front of the enemies! I'm partial to the white uniforms anyway, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhs7695 185 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 It was the best game I've watched in the playoffs this year. The goaltending was the best I've ever seen by both teams! Congrates to the Pens for having the grit and determination to pull this one out! This is good for the NHL in which has been a bad series for fans watching until the game last night. Hopefully the Pens can play well Wednesday night in Pittsburgh and get the series to a game seven. Go Pens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
