George Clooney as Me watching the game on TV @ home. They obviously would have a quick cut to an average fan's living room when McCarty scores in overtime, right? As I leap up from making out with my girlfriend--played by Anne Hathaway-- to celebrate and spill my huge bowl of popcorn sitting on my lap.

Thats what I LOVE about the Habs, that they retain a sense of cultural pride\identity with the team. It seems kind of old school to me, something you wouldnt see in other sports: it's one of the little differences that makes hockey so great. Of course to be solely made up of French-Canadian players would appear to be xenophobic, as well as probably a handicap if they were ignoring better talent simply because they are not French-Canadian. Further, I think the relations between non-French speaking people of Quebec ( are all people from Quebec considered Quebecois, or just the French???) and the people of French descent in Quebec has quite a history and is somewhat complex. An interesting side-note was years ago when I introduced my French-Canadian girlfriend to my father, who was an Irish kid that grew up in Montreal, she asked him if he spoke French and he said "enough to be very polite, or very rude". Funny

Sorry, I know this is in bad taste and is super old... FUNNY!

please not Sykora, please!

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. " Principal from the movie "Billy Madison"

my wife actually asked "do you want me to invite some people over to watch the game?" I said "are you friggin nuts?" I will be spewing obscenities like a cross between Ralphy's dad in "A Christmas Story" and the little girl in "The Excorcist." There is also a good chance my TV might wind up laying the front lawn after I throw it out the window.

Did anybody try logging on via a web proxy site and then accessing the Pens forums? http://hidemyass.com/

I think after Hoss' is selected as the 1st star he pulls a Ned Braden ala Slapshot and skates around the ice stripping and throwing his pads at the Penguin fans

Teh Red Wings are lazy and they suck.

If this was from the Official site of the Penguins I'd say s*** would be "on like Simon LeBon", but this is just from some jerkoff who's gramma was probably yelling down at him--in his basement bedroom at her house--to hurry up and take out the garbage cause she can hear the garbage truck a few doors down.

posty post post anything to prolong having to listen to Pierre MacGuire (sp?) say things like he did in last year's final, I cant remember the first part but the end was what wanted to make me jab kabob skewers in my ears and set them on fire: "...as a testament to the competetive nature of Sidney Crosby"

OK the whole "Trade Yzerman" bit: They were talking about Yzerman for Yashin, but there was also a big rumor making the rounds then that they were going to trade Yzerman for the "hard-hitting defender" Stanislav Neckar (pronounced NETZ-cash). If I remember both of them played for Ottawa at the time. All I could think about either of those trades was... OTTAWA-NA HEAR ABOUT IT! BA DUM BAH. Thank you, you're too kind, please try the Veal Oscar, and make sure to leave a tip for the hard working waitstaff.

Hey man, they aint nuthin wrong with that! This will make for a great topic of discussion at the next tea party I have have with all my stuffed animals. They will be incensed to say the least!

WORD!

Man, my brother used to live in Huntington Beach back in the early 00's (doesnt that sound weird) we would go to Ducks games when I got to town, Wings jerseys and all, no one ever said a word. They must be johnny--come--lately hockey fans who jumped on the Ducks bandwagon once they started winning (kind of like ALL the Wings fans who came out of the woodwork after 1997) cause I never experienced that, but as I said I havent been since '03.
