    I was just throwing this out there because of how incredibly close Portland came to having a Stanley Cup champion.

    Truly the greatest championship of them all.

    When those guys play hard in the playoffs, it's a very excellent sport.

    One of the great things about hockey is that you can't really take any games off or someone will take your head off.

    Wow. I find it amazing that someone could find hockey boring. It's so fast and people get the shit knocked out of them on nearly every possession.

    I was begging for Paul Allen to get the Penguins. The Steelers and Pens have been my favorite teams for almost 30 years.

    Gotta agree was a truly awesome game. The last few minutes were nuts, Fleury really had his game on at the end.

    I especially love the young guns taking out the old veteran favorites, even more so since everyone discounted them and said they couldn't win after they lost the first two games.

    Watching those guys fulfill their life long dreams and hoisting the Stanley Cup at the end is a really cool thing.

    I enjoy watching Hockey a lot more in HD, makes it way easier to see what's going on and where the puck is. It's a really fun sport to watch once you get a basic understanding of the game. It also helps if you have at least some hockey experience; it helps you appreciate just how amazing these NHL players really are at their sport.

    Anyway, congrats to Pittsburgh! The home team won every game in this series...except for game 7. HUGe Props for gutting one out on the road, it was funny to watch the Detroit crowd boo at everything and everyone after the game ended
