ecstaticMan, I think the only way I could be happier is if the Sharks won the Cup. :D It's just so good to see a team that plays great hockey get rewarded for it. I definitely like individual guys on the team, but at the same time there are some really gross people on it: Teemu, Pronger, Rob Niedermayer, Scott Niedermayer (actually the only reason I think he's gross is that he's Rob's brother, so he's gross by association). And I dislike Getzlaf as a person too, although I do really like that he said that he played his balls off tonight. :P
I thought I had so much to say, but I think I've pretty much said it all to
abby20 already.[Edit: Oh, one more thing! People can just shut it with the "long layoff" bullshit. The Ducks had a long layoff too. 9 days vs 6 days is not the same as 5 days vs 2 days. Rust typically sets in after 3-4 days. There is nothing and nobody to be blamed. Both teams played their best and the better team won.]
Is it time for next season to start yet?
Ultimately, I just really like teams that play good hockey the way it should be played, which has been a problem this season and last since I like the Ducks and the Stars. :P In head to head match ups there is never any question, but once the Sharks were out, there's really nothing to hold it back.
I'm not into the whole rivalries thing, having not followed any sports at all until fairly late in life. Like I'll hate teams because they're evil (like the Avalanche) but not because they're a rival of my team.
The Avalanche are definately evil! lol...
*hugs you*
man there should be no talk of a long layoff excuse any more than there shold be talk of choking *nods*
no more hockey makes me sad
*hugs* I thought TSN had a pretty fair assessment of the series and Duthie specifically pointed out that the Sens didn't choke this year.
Yeah... finally I'll watch the All-Star Game, I guess! :P
hee that works! *Hug*
*snorfles*
hahahahahahahahahaha.
yeah hell of a leader there alfredson.
hahahahahahahaha.
I hate the senators.
I may not like the Ducks, I may hate Chris Pronger but the picture of Jiggy and is son? That made me awwww. lol
Oh, I can't stand Chris Pronger too. Although I think it's hilarious how he's picking up all these fanbases who boo him. I do frown upon the Sens fanbase for booing him before he elbowed somebody in the head. Premature booage!
It's pretty cute. :) Amazing that the baby slept through it all. He's going to be hearing some stories about it as he gets older.
How old is he? I was just like awww! And then there was one of him sitting in the cup and he had one eye open like "what the heck?" heh *feels dirty* ;)
I don't know the exact date, but he was born just before the playoffs started, Maxime Oliver. :) Not sure if you heard the story, but he has a deformed right eye, and possibly was blind in the left eye too (but they found out he's not) and Giguere missed the first week of the playoffs to take care of him and stuff.
