BLACKHAWKS WON! GO CHICAGO SPORTS!

I've never watched so much hockey in my entire life. Thank god it's over.

Whoop! Go 'hawks. I'm wearing my jersey to work tomorrow!!

That last goal was something!

Darn them for making me bite my nails into OT, though.

I had to listen to it on the radio. We were breeding cows. Since I had my arm in a glove up a cows a$$ I couldn't bite my nails ;)

Just sayin' :blush:

I'm sure the cow appreciated that.

so you were Orking, then, Nirvana?

so that's what cow orking means ;)

Wearing the 'hawks jersey went surprisingly well. I was accosted by an elderly man in the parking lot of my apt, but I was able to settle him down before he beat me up. Trip into the convenience store was without incident, but my regular counter guy wasn't on. Then work ... a lot of not at all veiled hostility. And I had to wear a bib when I ate dinner ... didn't want to drip soy sauce onto all of that embroidery.

I'd like to say that was THE MOST ENTERTAINING Stanley Cup series I may have ever watched. Yes, I'm bummed that the Flyers lost, but considering what they went through this/last season and how well they did...
Great hockey right up until the end.

pics?

Agreed. And it was interesting seeing the difference in styles. The Flyers retain a touch of the aggressive Broad Street Bullies type of hockey ... move fast, hit fast, but the 'hawks have a more,I dunno, rational? style? And the ability to move a puck through the fourth dimension into the net doesn't hurt, either. mormorwolf was a Kane, you know. Always a bit of magick there ...

Isn't that the wrong orifice for breeding? :eyebrow:

The Flyers had to play a hard hitting game to try and slow down the B-Hawks. The Flyers game-plan to stop the hawks was to hit them at the blue line and consistently hit them every time they touched the puck. The game was dramatically different when the hawks skated into the Flyers zone unimpeded until the circle. They skated the puck in deep and then the next wave of players were able to enter, creating many chances & shots.

I loved watching the playoffs. Now all I got is 2 months of baseball :greenface My least favorite sport. Too slow, too long, too boring.

I take that back - watching golf is worse.

People watch golf?

Baseball is wonderful. A great sport for relaxing to with beer, and a high speed internet connection. Of course, I rarely have the opportunity to see 'my' team play, and I'm too cheap to buy the MLB channel package.

There's always competitive paint drying. And grass growing.

I don't get the wealth of Texas Hold 'Em poker tournaments.

Golf is at least interesting for people who play golf, although I suspect that most of them watch thinking, "I could sink that putt he just missed."

Wimbeldon is coming. I saw a commercial. Get the strawberries and cream ready.
