Minor issue at best.

Chelios told the media last night he will be back next season.

I thought he would retire.

He's still 'high on life' {I think it's pain killers myself} from the win last night.

He'll probably pull what 1/2 of the roster of the Ducks did last season and delay... and delay... and delay... and delay until the trade deadline and THEN decide to come back.

I HAD respect for the Ducks {at least some of them F**k you Pronger} before that, now the entire team can rot as far as I'm concerned.

Cheli retire? You should know better than that.

I have to give props to the Penguins for making this an exciting series and never giving up the last two games. They're going to be scary for many years to come.

It be interesting coming year as many of the key players on the Pens are slated to be UFA or RFA, such as MAF, Malkin, Stall.

Not too sure if Pens can afford to keep them and not sure how much "sidney discount" these guys are willing to take to be part of a dynasty.

Does anyone know if Hasek is retiring now?

The Wings have pretty much been a dynasty for the last 11 years. BUT, I remember those other years (the pre-Yzerman days) when I would secretly listen to the old Dead Wings on WJR radio after bedtime in the evenings. Y'all remember John Ogrodnik and Gilles Gilbert, probably not. Those were some pretty bad years. Every single night, the Wings would be pulling the goaltender...that tells the story.

i was soooooooooooo happy wednesday night! i stayed up and watched all of the coverage i could on all the local tv station.

i went to the parade yesterday. it was bananas. still suffering a litltle heat exhaustion, but it's all good! it was so awesome being 3 feet away from these guys! seeing them roll down the streets just really appreciating the fans and everything was really awesome. when Osgood came everyone was chanting "ozzie!ozzie!" can you imagine 1.4 million people saying your name? crazy. it kind of brought a tear to my eye. just really appreciating what he did this season. he's incredible.

and yes, Zetterberg's hot girlfriend was there! haha

i left before the rally. we couldn't find anywhere to stand and i felt like i was going to pass out. we made it back to the car in time to hear it on the radio. it was only about 15 minutes long, so i was kind of glad we didn't stay and we beat all the traffic! haha

today i'm recovering from sun burn and the dehydration, but i really don't care. yesterday was amazing and i will remember it for the rest of my life. the only thing that ruined it was my husband didn't come with me, and i felt bad going without him, but hopefully he can go next year!

i took some decent pics. i plan on putting them on my myspace. i'll link you guys when i get them up

They will be able to afford it.
Thanks to the owner of the team Mario Lemieux (The best player the NHL has ever had) push for new ice many more ticket sales will come which =$$$$$$$.
Pengs will be fine...Malkin on the either hand hmm I know hes young but come on..he played like crap against wings which in my opinion caused are loss.Are go0d things to come from Malkin in the future ? hold onto him with big money? hmm a nice hit from Flyers series screwd his skate which seems pretty wimpy to me .
Congrats to wings once more.You guys flustered a young team that took it 6.

anyone know where to get some Stanley Cup t-shirts? I've ordered some from a couple sites, but they keep coming up on backorder.

Congrats to the Red Wings , its not often the team with the most regular season points wins it all in the NHL. From what I hear the ratings (at least for hockey) were pretty solid. When you think about it rating wise it was probably about the best matchup the NHL could have hoped for (although I think if the Rangers came out of the east it would have done a little better)
And I also won a $10 dollar bet with a buddy who took the Penguins. And finally screw Tiger for slamming the NHL , its not like golf is Americas pastime, in fact when hes not playing , golf does worse than hockey. So shut yer trap Tiger
