Eff You Dirtroit Red Wings

The title pretty much sums it up.

Update:

Couple of thoughts on the final:

Can we now dispense with the myth of Marianne "Hacker" Hossa? That would be the myth that he's worth having on your team, especially come playoff time. He scored what, 4 goals this playoff? Scoring about one game per series, as I recall. Hmm, did nothing in Ottawa (postseason), got traded to Atlanta, did nothing there (postseason), got traded to Pittsburgh, lost the cup, left for Dirtroit for his guaranteed cup, and was a passenger on the cup-missing playoff express.

Yes, Lidstrom is a great defenceman. One of the all time greats of the game. No he is no Bobby Orr. I don't care if he manages to get that next Norris before he retires, tying him up with Orr at 9. Hell, I don't care if he gets 2 more to pass Orr. If it takes you twice as long to get the same number of awards, then you are not as good.

Why, oh why did Jim Hughson start channeling Bob Cole and begin calling the line changes and time left on the clock? The first is not terribly interesting and the second is displayed on a banner at the top of the screen. I've gotta brush up on my French and start watching the Radio Canada broadcasts again. As I recall, the French play by play guys are much better at their trade.
