I hope Bernier has his bags packed...the Kings should send him flowers and champagne! :D

shouldn't we be going to jim gray outside the jersey locker room to hear some ref baiting?!?

Congratulations to the Kings. They certainly earned it! And no matter what team you cheer for, the Stanley Cup presentation is possibly the best thing in sports.

Except for that Napoleon-sized baldie in the captain's photo, I agree. ;)

Agree on both points. I wonder if Burke was watching? :rolleyes:

Quick's daughter is the Energizer Bunny.

Yikes, bit of a scare there!

Is anything greater than seeing grown, bearded men hoisting a 35 pound trophy with names of all past winners on it? These guys are taken back to those days on their frozen ponds dreaming of that moment. They're turned back into children. It's what it's all about baby!

For those who didn't see it.

As the father of a three year old girl, I know that look (the "hey she's *ing two!" look) quite well. Granted, I never had it at a press conference after I won a Stanley Cup. Props to Sutter as well for enabling like a Grandpa, "you wanna sit with Daddy? Ok, it's just a useless press conference..."

It's just that the "NJ ruined* hockey 17 years ago and I'm still mad about it" angle is old and tired. And yes, I'm venting a bit.


*NJ didn't ruin hockey. They played within the rules. Hate the game, not the playa.

Bull. The Devils took advantage of the fact that the game was very loosely called and that officials are reluctant to "decide a game" by calling too many penalties (but much less reluctant to have the same impact by letting things go) to play a dirty, cynical style built around the knowledge that they would get away with many of the infractions they committed, which resulted in rules changes and re-emphasis on stricter enforcement once more teams followed suit.

I heard a few. I noticed he kinda sped through his remarks. I just think the Kings fans were just so euphoric at the moment they didn't realize they should all be booing.

Which is quite reasonable; you SHOULD be euphoric when your team wins its first-ever championship!

They haven't had a lot of practice at being euphoric or booing! :rolleyes:

Saw the pictures from Newark this morning. The riots there must have been staggering.
