YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, BABY!!!!!!!!!!  What a game!!!  The 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs are officially on!  I was on the edge of my seat for most of the 60 minutes of play but if I can be honest, this game was just the latest episode of the Crosby Show.

Penguins Look to Regroup For Game 3

I’m hoping that home ice advantage will make a difference tonight as the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals head to Steel Town.  The Detroit Red Wings have dominated the series so far, shutting out the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game One and Two.  I was over on the ESPN website and I spotted this video of some […]

Wings Own Penguins Again in Game 2

What the heck?!?!?  I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t expecting the Pittsburgh Penguins to bounce back from that horrible first game in this series and practically every sports analyst was salivating over the prospect of Sidney Crosby would somehow repeat history and follow in the footsteps of Wayne Gretzky and […]

What a disappointment.  As I get ready to watch Game 2 tonight, I’m praying that the Pittsburgh Penguins learned something from the beating they took from the Detroit Red Wings two days ago.  Here’s are the highlights (if you are a Detroit fan - they are low-lights if you’re a a Pens lover).

Fleury Falls and Detroit Shuts Out Pittsburgh in Game 1

Wow… well that game sucked.  I cannot believe what I witnessed last night.  The first period was great - it was closely battled and really could have been anyone’s game.  The last two periods basically consisted of the Pittsburgh Penguins being totally bitch slapped by the Detroit Red Wings.  It was almost disgusting. 
Wings goaltender, […]

Journey to the Cup: Detroit Red Wings

I’m not surprised that the Detroit Red Wings have made it this far.  I’m not a huge fan of theirs but I can respect the experience and sheer determination this team almost always brings to a game.  This season, they were even better than usual.  Here’s a look at their journey to the 2008 Stanley […]
