Thanks for the nice words on Danish Hockey, but have you seen them play?? LOL ... Sorry, I am patriotic I promise, but playing the final against Canada? Not in my life time Im afraid. Denmark did beat USA 5-2 back in 2003, back when no one knew about us (our first year in the A group) and they played 2-2 against Canada, but since then ... not so much :o)
Now about Islanders, I have to brag that Frans Nielsen is Danish :o) I think its our first NHL player ever GO FRANS !!

SOY - I DON'T THINK I TOLD YOU THIS STORY.
I FIREMAN FRIEND OF MINE KEPT TELLING ME ABOUT THIS GUY HE WORKED WITH WHO HAD A SON WHO WAS PRETTY GOOD AT HOCKEY. THIS IS GOING BACK 5-6 YEARS AGO. YEAH EVERY ONE KNOWS SOMEONE WHO IS PRETTY GOOD AT SOMETHING. ESPECIALLY SPORTS.
ANYWAY HE KEPT TELLING ME THIS KID WAS GOOD HE IS GOING TO MAKE IT SOMEDAY. THE GUY LOST TOUCH WITH HIS FRIEND AND STOPPED TALKING ABOUT HIM.
ABOUT A YEAR LATER I WATCHING THE ISLANDERS LOSE TO THE CANADIANS 2-0 AND A KID FROM LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK SCORED BOTH GOALS.
THE NEXT DAY WERE TALKING HOCKEY AT THE GYM AND I TOLD HIM THE ISLANDERS LOST 2-0 THE NIGHT BEFORE AND A LOCAL KID NAMED CHRIS HIGGINS SCORED BOTH GOALS.
HE SAYS THAT IS THE KID I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT, HIS FRIENDS SON.
I GUESS YOU NEVER KNOW.
ANYWAY I LIKE CANDAIANS AND THERE ARE PROBABLY AS MANY CANADIANS ON THE ISLANDERS AS THERE ARE ON THE CANADIENS. SO LET'S ALL ROOT FOR THE CANADIANS ON THE ISLANDERS.

Speaking of the Red Wings, Chris Chelios brought the Stanley Cup to Wrigley Field with him on friday. He was there to throw out the "first" pitch (he had to throw a second, as the first one went way over the catcher's head).
He also sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch.
Also, you'll never guess who the "Honorary" catcher was (for the 1st pitch)...Eddie Vedder!!!!! |

Next round is on me, Soy. Since when did in become fashionable for "players" to hold "teams" and their "fans" hostage? I think football (NFL) players are the worst, with players "holding out", which is just another form of holding a team "hostage".
With the kind of $$$ being thrown at professional athletes, ideals like a)Honoring your signed contract b)Being "on-time" to the teams schedule c)Morals, are out the window.
It's a "ME FIRST" world we live in. And the more $$$ that's out there, the more it's about the individual!!!
Just my opinion.

ACTUALLY MY FRIEND IF BETTMAN DIDN'T HAVE HIS HEAD UP THE GOOD 'OL BOYS ASSES SOUTH OF US,THERE IS NO DOUBT THE GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED IN MONTREAL...
IT'S THE TEAMS 100th ANNIVERSARY...BUT HEY,THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE AND ANY LEGIT HOCKEY FAN KNOWS BETTMAN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THING 1 ABOUT TRADITION IN THIS FINE LEAGUE...CHICAGO,NOBODY IN THAT CITY REALLY GIVES A CRAP ABOUT THAT TEAM...
IT'S JUST ANOTHER FAILED ATTEMPT (AND MONEY GRAB) TO TRY TO GET AMERICAN FANS ON BOARD...AND IT AIN'T GONNA WORK...OTHER THAN A SELECT FEW MARKETS,AMERICANS DON'T GIVE A FLYING F#@K ABOUT HOCKEY,THAT'S A FACT NO MATTER HOW MUCH SPIN THE COUNT FROM SESAME STREET (BETTMAN) WANTS TO PUT ON IT...AT LEAST,IF NOT MORE THAN 40% OF THE FANS AT LAST YEARS OUTDOOR GAME WERE CANADIAN...(AT LEAST 40%)!!!
BOWLING GETS HIGHER RATINGS IN THE STATES THAN HOCKEY!...AND THAT'S JUST FINE WITH ME....THE GAME IS FROM HERE AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE EMBRACED HERE, UNLIKE MOST OF THE MARKETS SOUTH OF US THAT HAVE TEAMS.....BUT TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE COUNT AND HE JUST DOES HIS STUPID LITTLE SMIRK AND SHRUG,THEN PROCEEDS TO TWIST THE COLD HARD FACTS...TIME TO GO BETTMAN YOUR REIGN OF IDIOCY SHOULD BE ENDED.
AND AS FOR THE ISLANDER- RANGER RIVALRY, YEAH IT EXISTS,BUT MONTREL-TORONTO IS A THOUSAND TIMES MORE APPROPRIATE FOR SUCH A GAME.

I see that the Blackhawks and Red Wings are playing the outdoor game this year in Wrigley field. With Yankee Stadium closing down this year they should have had the Islanders and Rangers play there this year.
The Islanders and Rangers may be one of the best 2 or 3 rivalries in all of sports. Could you imagine being a Rangers fan and not wnning a cup since 1940 and along come the islanders and win 4 in their first 11 years of existance? |

YES,MGDMAN....SINCE YOU ARE A HOCKEY FAN,YOU KNOW ALL TOO WELL,THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN EASILY...WITH FREE AGENCY,THE MONEY BEING THROWN AROUND AND THE SOMEWHAT LACK OF LOYALTY...THE YEARS OF THE HABS OF THE 70'S...ISLANDERS AND THE OILERS OF THE EIGHTIES ARE LONGGGGGGGG GONE...THIS MAY SOUND STRANGE TO YOU,BUT I HOPE THAT NEW RUSSIAN LEAGUE IS SUCCESSFUL...REASON BEING,PERHAPS IF SOME OF THESE PLAYERS BOLT OVER THERE,(LIKE JAGR DID TODAY!)MAYBE IT'LL SMARTEN THIS LEAGUE UP...FACT OF THE MATTER IS ALMOST ALL THE U.S. TEAMS ARE LOSING MONEY...CANADIAN ARENAS ARE FULL EVERY GAME...THAT'S JUST THE REALITY OF IT...I MEAN EVEN ORIGINAL SIX TEAMS ARE LOSING MONEY,I.E.,BOSTON,CHICAGO,THERE WERE EVEN MORE THAN A FEW EMPTY SEATS EARLY ON IN THE PLAYOFFS IN DETROIT...TOO MANY TEAMS AND THE FINANCES ARE JUST NOT WORKING...GET RID OF BETTMAN THAT WOULD BE A FINE START!

| I'm a huge Redwings fan! But I also follow the Pens so this years final was a great thing for me. I wanted the wings to win it because as young as the Pens are i think they have several cup titles in their future! |
