sigh

a) time to shave of my own playoff beard

b) at least I don't look like a Cindy Crosby-type 8th grader.

Yes, I'm bitter.

Congratulations to the Penguins. They played a full 60 minutes with focus and deserved to win. The Wings didn't get on track until midway into the 3'd period. That's not what a Stanley Cup Champion caliber team should do. Gotta say Detroit earned that loss.

I agree on the officiating. Let em play seemed to be the philosophy, and it worked, we got to see a good game.

Good question on Hossa, he contributed mightily to the regular season in Detroit. It does seem to point out that even an expert player can't predict the future.

Nothing to watch now until camp starts up in September. Two and a half months, that's a long time without hockey

So, is there a winner for the beard contest?

ok, I'll be a little more serious.

first, grats, to the dirty, worthless Pens. That said...

Officiating. It was simply Bizarre. I don't think they were calling it for either team specifically, but they were calling it weirdly. When the same penalty happens repeatedly all game, and is suddenly (and quite randomly-seemingly) called in the 3rd? That's just odd.

Maid Marian - You know how superstitious hockey players/fans are. Hossa might have trouble finding a home next year. I don't expect him to be a Wing next year. The Red Wings have proven in the past that they pay for playoff performers, and Hossa was anything but that this season. I think they'll use that cap money to bring up some of their own such as Helm, Ericsson, and possibly Abdelkader. I may be a bit biased, because I think Helm is AWESOME.

Game 7 - The Wings dogged it the first two periods, there's no getting around it. They just didn't look like the team who wanted to, or deserved to win. Congrats again to the dirty, disgusting Penguins.

(Just kidding, I actually moved here to Michigan from Pittsburgh a few years ago, so I like both teams in general, as long as Pittsburgh isn't playing Detroit )

Thanks Jack We were on the edge of our seat all night - it was a great game. Puck bounced our way and both teams played great!!! My brother-in-law from Travers City will have to wear a penguins shirt on a upcoming family reunion The picture of him will go in our family yearly calander so he will be reminded for at least a month who won! He had threatened the same to me and my son after game 5 so I am glad to have the opportunity to turn the tables

Pennyguy said it all. The Wings didn't show up until late in the game. Congrats Pens on a Full Game played win.

As for Hossa, send him on his way, he has proven that he is not playoff material. I think the pressure got to him. I just heard that Lidstrom had surgery during game three? I really wonder what happened to Dats. Something is really amiss with him.

Again, Congrats to the Pens and their Fans. Job well done.
