I think gfhockey could offer plenty of good insight on this thread...

Messier's performance in that game six against the Devils was...wait for it...legendary. http://rangers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=493964

Good grief that comment makes me feel old...I remember watching almost every game of the Stanley Cup playoffs that year. Mark Messier guarantees that the Rangers win game 6 in New Jersey and game 7 in New York. And they did. Book the flight to LA now, boys. It's Rangers in the East and LA in the West.

Good catch. I have an idea...how about a 5 minute major and game DQ if...

Seriously...Worst. First pitch. Ever. The Mets should have taken the jersey they gave him back. Has 50 ever thrown a rock, let alone a baseball? Off-topic rant over.

It has become an epidemic...the NHL playoffs sometimes look like European soccer or an NBA playoff game with all the flopping going on out on the ice. It's a disgrace to the game! DaveK, the look on Johan Franzen's face when he was called for a penalty against the B's in your video was priceless...unbelievable. Flop...flop...dive...dive...oh what a relief it is...

I just shelled out $275 for a Shayne Gostisbehere authentic Union College jersey...while I won't wear it at a Sioux/Gopher game or any other game involving the Gophers (because I agree with you that the Holy Cross thing has been beaten to death), I reserve the right to wear it to any other hockey game just because it's a kick-a** jersey! I can imagine the reaction of Sioux fans seeing .6 t-shirts roaming around REA five years from now...old news...

Bingo. I would have figured someone from an earlier Maine team would have won a Cup...kinda surprising.

MAFIAMAN...no space. Pretty sure it's not a foul.

Big win for Chicago but I don't see them winning game 6. Up 2-0, they should have put the Kings away early last night. I think the home crowd gives the Kings a boost in game 6 and LA advances to the Stanley Cup Finals - thanks to a Matt Greene hat trick. OK, maybe not that last part...

I think an Anze Kopitar Slovenia jersey would be a nice addition to my collection...

Pop quiz: name the first Maine Black Bear to hoist the Stanley Cup.

7:56 of continuous playing time...contrast that with the free-throw and time-out contest going on over on ESPN...

Great action in OT!

...and BOOM goes the dynamite!

Kings yea yea! 3-3 baby!

Kings weathering the storm...2-0 start...3-1 almost immediately after they had made it 2-1...LA in good shape.

Well, it is the off-season...

LOL...tripping on Doughty 30 seconds in...the fix is in!

I think TV networks should show the Canadian national anthem in addition to the Star Spangled Banner...love hearing the anthem in Chicago.

It started with me asking siouxsweet why he hates Detroit so much. My last comment about the Pacers was tongue-in-cheek to Ray77's question about a team being eliminated tonight.

It will. The Pacers are toast.

That's because Shaq had one sneaker in Orlando and the other in Los Angeles... Go Kings go.

Which is illegal without your permission in California anyways...but what does that matter? He's a racist, so throw the law out the window, right?

No way. Jordan came back and the Magic absolutely whooped the Bulls anyways. Then Hakeem the Dream and the Rockets whooped the Magic. Clutch City, baby! And we all know that Michael Jordan "retired" because of the soon-to-be-handed-down year-long suspension from David Stern for betting on basketball. His "retirement" saved Michael and the NBA from embarrassment.
