Forza Original Six, fuck the expansion teams.
Great atmosphere in Chicago.
Just phenomenal - so good to see those fans finally having something to cheer about after so many years of disappointment. Like my Bruins, they've were a terribly managed team for too long. What a fun team to watch... so much young talent. The future of the NHL is bright... and definitely FORZA ORIGINAL 6.
Now all we need is for Boston to pull their shit together and get through. Detroit/Chicago vs. Boston in the Stanley Cup Finals...epic.
How sweet it would be... and while it's a long shot at this point, I've still got faith. My team finally played a good game, and they'll have plenty of motivation going to Carolina given some of the cheap shots landed in the last game. This series isn't over yet...
That would be absolutely badass and my choice for the finals, but I don't think Boston has what it takes. But then again, they would have home ice advantage, so perhaps I should wish for their demise.
Time will tell. I just bought a beauty Lucic jersey on the bay today though, so I'm hoping I get a chance to rock it this postseason...
Oh, and to those of you who are Pens fans, I feel your pain... this series may have just slipped through your fingers. One should never ascribe blame to a single player in these matchups, but Hal Gill fucked y'all big time. He was definitely responsible for both the 3rd and 4th goals... just not big Hal's day.
