Stanley Cup Finals 2009: Detroit vs. Pittsburgh

At that point I think you\'d kiss the thing if the entire teams wiped their balls on the Cup before you got it.

I\'d probably just wait until I got to spend the day with it.

*Come on guys! Enough with the karma shit already. You\'ve made you points already. Ive done more to earn those things that 80% of the people on here and im down alot from 211.

:laugh: Classic.

I\'m sure even a lot of Pens fans thought it was over at 2-0 (I sure did, I\'ll be honest).

The rivalry will continue next year. Best out of 3.

well... as i said after detroit was up 2-0 in this series... it was an uphill battle, an unlikely scenario... but if pittsburgh were to come back and win 4 out of 5 and win the cup... they\'d have earned it.

Well they earned it.

They came back against the capitals and the wings and finished with 4 wins in 5 games when odds were against them. Good for them. Now hopefully they suck forever now, because i don\'t want to see them back there next year.

I wish I could find some of the stuff you said, but I have a feeling it was a bit more direct then \"an uphill battle\"

Either way I\'m glad it\'s over, time to catch up on all the work I slacked off on the past couple months - yikes!

hahaha no way dude. see below for a quote of my post in dobber\'s \"Come out, come out...\" thread:

man i remember saying that the odds were against pittsburgh and that they had an uphill climb... which is pretty much what the comish said... i don\'t really remember anyone of importance (lol) guaranteeing that detroit would without a doubt take the series after winning two games.

The fact remains... that for pittsburgh to win in six (dobber\'s revised/current prediction) requires 4 straight wins. That\'s pretty tough if you ask me. I mean washington at least took the penguins to the seventh game (after coming out with a 2 game lead)... I imagine that this series is at least going to 7 games... and i still think that winning 4 of 5 (after losing the first two) is a rather daunting task for any team.

If pitt can pull it off again (after doing the same against washington), they definitely deserve the cup this year.

... just as long as there aren\'t anymore boneheaded missed calls...

Well there ya go, I stand corrected!

come one penguins believers, where are ya all today?

Penguins in 7, no doubt about it.

A bit over confident after a 5-0 loss.

Guess I wasn\'t over confident after all?

Great day to be a Pens fan! 2009 Stanley Cup Champions: Pittsburgh Penguins!!!

wow did you know that this is Crosby\'s 87th playoff game... interesting...

No it wasn\'t. Crosby has now played 49 playoff games. If this would have been his 87th playoff game it would mean that the Pens have been in the finals every season of Crosby\'s career.

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Detroit Red Wings... Terrific Cup Final!!

MA Fleury save on Lidstrom in the dying seconds... wow... what drama... also the replay of Fleury thanking the crossbar ... priceless !!!

any guestimates on crosby\'s injury? I\'m thinking it\'s a knee...

chipped bone in the kneecap or something? it didn\'t look like a possible tendon or something in the knee... so other than a busted kneecap, i\'m kind of confused what could have caused such pain.

I think he got his junk crushed...bad.
