Game 7 -- Stanley Cup Playoffs


Recommended Posts

Sorry if I'm going too far here, but I think a separate thread for this game needs to be made. It's a Game 7, so I'd hope that a lot more people would be watching.

 

I'm a little dissappointed with the girl who sang the anthems -- she was off key. That's only a minor quibble though.

 

The puck has dropped, we are underway.

I cannot believe that the Caneshockey.com forums are down. That is total BS. I wanted to be in the game thread with the other fans that are not in Carolina for support.

 

Holly has never thrilled me either, but I guess she is a student at NC State or something like that.

The announcers just showed it, the puck DID go over the line. Dammit, it should be 2-0 Canes right now. I'd be breathing much easier if it was. Back to nail biting and stomach churning.

 

ETA: Now that it is 2-0, it should be 3-0.

 

I should leave the bedroom more often. Within 30 seconds of walking out of the room, the Canes score. Brain has evicted me until the end of the game.

Edmonton cuts the lead in half. I've never been a big hockey fan but I've really enjoyed watching these last two games.

This has been really good hockey.

 

The finals have been very well played. There's NOTHING like a game 7 in any sport, but especially hockey, as the pace is frantic the entire 60 minutes.

Well I'm pulling for Carolina because Edmonton has won several Stanley Cups.

 

When Edmonton scored to make it 2-1 it reminded me I have seen 2-0 leads in Game 7 Stanley Cup finals on home ice evaporate. 35 years ago in fact. I was at Game 7 of the Blackhawks vs. Montreal at the Stadium in 1971 and watched a 2-0 lead turn into a 3-2 loss. Not sure if I have ever gotten over that.

Indeed. That's one that leaves a bitter taste in one's mouth for sure.

Brian and I were both going nuts!!!! We have our Canes flag flying on the front porch, the Whaler flag in the computer room window, Brain wore his hat and jersey to work and I took mine out to wear to work and then to the Sox game tomorrow night.

 

I wish I could have seen the Cole skate the cup around, but NBC cut out and I do not know if any other channel was showing it (espn certainly wasn't).

 

The freaking Canes forum is STILL down - ARGH!!! I want to see if I could get someone there to send me a copy of the post game festivities (of course sending them whatever it would cost).

 

Oh yeah, Brian thought Brindy should have gotten the Conn, but I think Ward was a great choice as well.

lol Rowand, it's been a hell of a year. My sister and her family live in Raleigh-Durham and have been to some games, so I have been rooting for the Hurricanes as well. Great win for the team and the community. It's funny having Roy Williams on the big screen at the RBC wishing the team well, when the game is based in NC State territory.

That was Ray Whitney - I almost fell off the couch laughing at that.

 

I don't know if you knew this, but Pepe the King Prawn was on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last night. I didn't watch because that show sucks, but I saw the info about 20 minutes before it started. Sorry I didn't let you know earlier :P

Dammit! Pepe is supposed to notify me of such things!!! ;)

 

You can blame it on me. Pepe's innocent in this case. I saw the info right before I went to sleep, and I thought I'd come back on here to let you know, but I was too tired and lazy. Sorry.
