Go Knights Go!
Trading Reaves and Cole was Rutherford's biggest mistake.

Losing Cole hurt. Besides Brassard's groin injury, his biggest problem was trying to break Ottawa's defensive mindset.

Pens need to:
Sign Rust, Sprong, Sheahan, Jarry, & Oleksiak
Trade Sheary, Hunwick,

Good solid game. Glad to see a clean outing too for the most part.

Absolutely. It was a bummer year for Hawks fans. But, I love watching good hockey and these Conference Finals have been amazing.

GREAT GAME!!! Go Caps! Would LOVE to see Coach Trotz win the cup and a ring!! I think a Holtby/Fluery matchup is AWESOME!

Hilarious how both team captains broke "tradition" and touched their respective Conference Finals trophy. Big Grin

When the Vegas player picked up the Campbell bowl I let out such a groan my wife thought I was in pain. I had to explain the whole don't touch it thing. Since both teams picked up their respective trophies the junx is off. As much as Vegas winning would be a piece of history not likely to be repeated, I really want to see the Capitols finally win the cup. It's actually an interesting matchup because Vegas is the best first year expansion team ever, and then Caps were the worst.

The Caps definitely earned their win. Congratulations to them and their fans.

That being said I have to cheer for Vegas in the final. Being a lifelong Pittsburgh fan I have to cheer on Fleury.

I will admit though, I wouldn't be upset seeing Ovechkin raise the cup but I would turn off the TV when it's handed to Wilson.....

Jets-Knights series should be very entertaining !!


There's only one way and his name is Holtby.

It's been a long, long time since I attended a Stanley Cup game, last time the freaking Detroit fans (and the fact we were way out gunned) ruined it for me. I'm getting a pair to a game if we somehow pull it off, and I'm taking my uncle who had me going to games at Capital Centre.


I was at Game 5 vs Columbus, Game 5 vs Pittsburgh, will be at game 3 vs Tampa, and will be at game 3 in the Stanley Cup finals.

Lets Go Caps!


You lucky dog! Will be checking out Stubhub and SeatGeek for tix to game three or four.

Had a super shitty day at work today, you know what made it better? Every time I thought today sucks, I just thought about what I am doing Monday night. Big Grin Cool Smile Big Grin
