Well, there will be no game 7. Congrats to the team and fans from Chi-town. They were clearly the better hockey team last night, especially for the last 2 minutes of the game. The bad boys in black and gold were just bad. They had a let down of epic proportions and let game 6 be taken from them. For those who didn't watch it, the Bruins went from winning 2-1 to losing 3-2 in the last two minutes of the 3rd period. Way to waste an entire season!
First they got caught standing around trying to defense against a tying goal when the Hawks scored with the keeper pulled. Then they got caught still in a "deny" defense mode trying to just get into overtime. If you snooze, you lose. Time to get out the golf bags, boys. Not to detract from the Blackhawk's win. It was a pretty damn even series, right up 'till those last two minutes.
On a side note:
Did anyone else notice something strange at the end of the series last night? The game was being played in the Boston Garden, but when the final horn sounded and the Hawks had won the cup, the crowd noise was so loud that it sounded like they were in Chicago.
Now I know that some of the crowd would have been from Chicago, and those fans would have cheered the win, but when they panned the audience I didn't see as many fans screaming or cheering or carrying on as you would think for the amount of cheering you heard. Yeah there were some red clad fans scattered in the stands, especially as the Bean-town crowd exited quickly (shaking their heads), but they didn't look to be carrying on that much.
I wonder if they were pumping the crowd noise in over the intercom to make the TV spectacle more vibrant? I know that some football stadiums do that (Indianapolis has been one of them) when the crowds are too passive, to try and intimidate the other team. Maybe the league thought a Cup final on the road needs that kind of artificial crowd track played?
What's next?

That was a total surprise...... Never imagined a second goal within 17 seconds to win it. Bruins fans had to be in shock. I don't know about the Garden fans noise, but they were very appreciative of their Bruins' efforts for the season, as well as all hanging in there for the post game presentations. The Rat (Bettman) got his traditional boos. I stayed up for some post game interviews (CBC). I thought the whole playoffs this year were the best I've seen in a long time. The STanley Cup is the hardest trophy in sport to win, so kudos to the Bruins and Hawks for making it that far.
Congrats to the Blackhawks and Blackhawks fans. Maybe now I can resume my normal sleep patterns..................

I don't know if the Blackhawks were the best team...but they sure caught some breaks. They are definitely talented...but I could have seen any of their last three opponents beating them.
The NHL playoffs are just brutal....4 smashmouth, best of seven series to get the cup.
Just brutal.
Just think if the NFL had 4 best of seven playoff series to win the NFL Trophy!

Just as I had predicted. You may all now bask in the glow of my brillance. Next time you want to know anything about hockey don't waste your time on those Bostoncentric fans like FredW & ShinyPartsUp. Come and talk to a true Canadian where it's all hockey all the time....

Actually, you may be on to something there. But none of this "We only play on Sundays" ********. Then we'd have some survivalk of the fittest and attrition of the weak at it's finest. If Hockey players can play every other day (or more) all season long, why can't those NFL pansies?
Does anyone else smell sewer gas? Don't light a match!
I am smart enough to know not to bet on any sporting event or play slots. They are both rigged. You cannot win in the long run^^^^As stated in another thread, Bill is now living off of his wondrous life changing bet...since he put his $$ where his mouth/piehole/rye-orifice is located.

You do know that is a compliment to a true Yankee (not those *** wipe pinstripe wearin' baseball players from New Yawk), don't you Bill? Being frugal is a good way of life here...
So thanks!
So thanks!
