Stanley Cup finals start tonight

And I'm pretty excited~

Canes and Oilers match up pretty well, so should be a good series.

teams haven't played since like 2003 I think, so first game might be kind of cautious

I could care less. I'll be going for the canes though.

Yea whatever. I'm sure Giunta is happy playing golf right now.

Hold up a sign that says "Nameless Tavern 3:16"

Soulslicer · Post by **Soulslicer** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 9:55 pm

Didn't catch the sign message in time, but got to see a helluva comeback. The penalty shot was a bullshit call, but with all the bullshit refereeing going on it fit the bill.

Actually looking back on the reports of that penalty I can see why they called the penalty shot.

the ref that called that is named McGoo :rofl:

doesn't matter (it was a textbook no brainer penalty shot btw)

series is over, grats canes

Losing Roloson was the series. He was the one reason Edmonton made it this far. he was playing out of his mind and was stealing a ton of games for them, and that gave the team confidence in front of him.

No one knows how this kid is going to perform, even if he's not as much of a screwup as he was last night with that mishandleed play, so the entire team is goign to be more hesitant in front of him, and Carolina's going to eat them alive.

Best hit of the night:

Welcome to the RBC!

Oh yeah, at one point it was up to 128.0 dB last night. Loudest house in the NHL!

Great ending to the series.

Justin Williams with the empty net~

Oilers looked like they'd blown their wad in game 6

There really wasn't a point in the game where I felt they'd come back in win

That being said, I thought Carolina was the better team in 5 out of 7 games

They were good all year long, had a deep team, and play a good watchable brand of hockey

Cause they had the better team, top to bottom.
