^x4 Haha. That's Philadelphians for you. Fairly recently I was running along the Ben Franklin Parkway up to the Art Museum (and yes I ran up the "Rocky Steps"), and I was passed by this mother pushing along her two little kids in those little stroller like things that parents that like to run use. Well she's talking on her cellphone and yells into it, "IT'S FUCKING HOT AS SHIT OUT HERE TODAY!"

Stay classy Philadelphia.

FLYERS FOR THE CUP ON pg. 14!!!

5/25/2010 2:22:34 AM

GO CHICAGO!

5/26/2010 6:18:39 PM

Jesus H. Christ, when the fuck are we gonna get to watch some hockey? This whole situation has NBC written all over it too. Game 1 would have been played by now if it wasn't for them.

And how the hell does Bill McCreary keep getting all these big games every year?

Quote :

"Bill McCreary, Dan O'Halloran, Kelly Sutherland and Stephen Walkom were named Wednesday as the four referees who will work this year's Stanley Cup Final"

I thought referees were awarded games in the playoffs based on merit.

5/27/2010 4:28:15 PM

The thing about McCreary is that you always know what you're going to get.

5/27/2010 4:42:51 PM

i don't mind mccreary.

actually officiating as a whole this playoffs has been decent.

Penguins to host Capitals in 2011 Winter Classic at Heinz Field

http://post-gazette.com/pg/10147/1061265-100.stm

Fuck the all star game, I'm getting a ticket to this.

Complete and total garbage.

5/29/2010 2:35:39 PM

why is that garbage? it's 2 of the most marketable teams in the league for the league's marquee regular season event.

5/29/2010 3:10:40 PM

More importantly, there will be a second, more-interesting outdoor game between Montreal and Calgary in February, and UM/MSU are playing outdoors again this year as well.

5/29/2010 4:41:36 PM

^^ As an avid, rabid, crazed hockey fan I am sick and tired of the Peguins/Crapitals lovefest. To the casual follower of hockey you'd think the NHL is comprised only of Pittsburgh, Washington and Detroit. I am very excited about the notion of a second game between Montreal and Calgary.

5/29/2010 5:40:36 PM

As a Pittsburgh fan, I too am tired of the media over-saturation of my team. Do you think we like being on NBC 6 times every regular season? NO. Is that feeling going to keep my ass out of a seat in Heinz Field next January? NOT A CHANCE IN HELL.

5/29/2010 6:24:17 PM

Leighton just got TORCHED.

1-1

5/29/2010 8:38:58 PM

what a first period

5/29/2010 9:05:30 PM

fun hockey

5/29/2010 9:14:58 PM

no kidding, 5 goals. should be a fun series, I hope one team doesnt get too much momentum and sweep the other like what happened with the hawks/sharks series. I would love to see another stanley cup final game 7, most exciting game in sports

nice growth for the league.

5/30/2010 1:12:54 PM

As a poor med student, I somehow managed to grab two tickets to game 5 of the scf with the whole draft lottery system. Tickets on stubhub are now over 500 dollars in price. Should i go or sell? I can really use the money and it is standing room only anyways so there is a good chance the game will be hard to see from behind the last row (i've been to three standing room games already) plus I can really use the money. Would the hockey gods every forgive me if I sell?

5/30/2010 4:30:06 PM

Only if you spend it on booze and hookers you pussy

5/30/2010 6:03:11 PM

So pack - is Chicago your team?

5/30/2010 6:11:42 PM

thanks for the advice gregor...

gg- I'm a diehard rangers fan, seen every game this year but i've also cheered for the hawks since coming here two years ago, its a tough call but i'll prolly end up going, no amount of money can make up for the experience

5/30/2010 6:18:50 PM

I would say if you could get a grand per ticket - sell.

5/30/2010 6:31:37 PM

if there's a chance to see the Hawks lift the Cup on home ice then go. otherwise I would consider selling if the price is right.

5/31/2010 9:59:49 AM

Lets go Canes!!!!

5/31/2010 12:11:22 PM

Agree with Bolt.

5/31/2010 12:43:48 PM

chippy game so far, complete with at least 5 Carcillo f-bombs on camera.

5/31/2010 8:36:03 PM

Carcillo is out of his mind. Chicago needs to send Eager after him if he keeps challenging Kopecky.

5/31/2010 8:37:48 PM

Carcillo is acting like a bitch thus far.

5/31/2010 8:59:18 PM

damn fun period. lots of chippiness, physical play, high energy (no, owen hart and koko b ware are not involved), but no dirty play. I really love hockey.

5/31/2010 9:02:04 PM

a game like this should be played on hbo with no announcers and mikes on all the players

5/31/2010 9:04:06 PM

awesome idea...i'd pay for that...

I'm pretty sure Carcillo can't even read, he probably just drops F-bombs repeatedly

5/31/2010 9:12:46 PM

why do all celebrities (i.e. John Cusack, Vince Vaughan) sit down in the first row or two along the glass? this isn't a basketball game.

If I have my choice of seats I'm sitting lower level, between the blue lines, a bit closer to the end my team is shooting on twice, about 10 to 15 rows back (depending on the grade of the seating).

5/31/2010 9:52:49 PM

Hossa SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRES

then Eager SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!!

5/31/2010 9:54:30 PM

how exactly do you hit the pipe on an empty netter?

5/31/2010 10:55:09 PM

this series is over.

5/31/2010 10:57:52 PM

it sure is - just like when Boston was up 3 games to 0.

5/31/2010 11:08:23 PM

chicago =/= boston

thanks for playing though.

5/31/2010 11:08:59 PM

why would you say its over, all Chicago has done thus far is hold home ice?

5/31/2010 11:11:18 PM

because chicago is the new buffalo. Despite not doing shit in forever, they have the confidence now to conquer the world, nevermind that they have 2 1 goal wins on home ice

[Edited on May 31, 2010 at 11:19 PM. Reason : I mean fans]

5/31/2010 11:16:48 PM

I do not believe that the Flyers can win the next 4 of 5 games against Chicago. Especially considering the fact that Chicago's big guns have been virtually silent so far.
