The Stanley Cup Thread

[Arloest]

I have interests in sports, just not hockey :-/

[Zaaphod]

I'm going to win the Stanley Cup. 'Cos it's shiny.

Did we ever promise to stay on topic?

[Bocaj Claw]

I don't understand what people's problem with sports is. Are you SO uptight as to look down on centuries competition?

Yes. Yes I am.

(Yes, I did note the word irrational, but I'm also of the opinion that nothing is irrational. Everything has a reason.)

Lies.

On topic question: Do you think the Flyers can return to the playoffs in '07/'08?

[Muninn]

As the resident, irrational sports hater I say: Bah.

That will be all. Thank you.

I second that motion.

Thirded.

Fourthed.

Ok, ok, a question...
Apparently, in 1964, Red Kelly of the Toronto Maple Leafs posed for a photo with his infant son sitting in the Cup, only to find the child had urinated in it. How do you feel about this?

[Rooster]

Well, as I've been saying all season, BUFFALO are gonna win.

I realize it's the British thing to use a plural construction in this case, but to me, that invokes a herd of buffalo.

It's not so much a British thing in general, more of a Mancunian thing, d'you know what I mean our kid?

Ehh, the Cup's been through a lot. One team left it outside in the winter overnight one time. They retrieved it the next day from a frozen river. Had the river not been frozen, the Cup would be at the bottom of the Atlantic. When the Pittsburgh Penguins first won it, it ended up at the bottom of Mario Lemieux's swimming pool. Mark Messier, after winning it with the Rangers, took it to a strip club.

Nowadays, the Cup has a couple of guardians to make sure players don't act too crazy with it.

No one's tried to eat cereal out of it? I'd do that

It's definitely a possibility. They played a lot better as the season wore on, but their slow start haunted them all season. If Nittymaki can play like he did in the Olympics, and Simon Gagne shows up, there's a good possibility. I would think that they will probably strengthen the defense in the off season, and add someone to fill the void created with the trading of Forsberg.

And lol, you gotta love Mario. Sidney Crosby is STILL living in his basement.
