Rest in peace, Mr Padre.

Not hard to see why Edmonton is so awful these days - trading Stoll and Greene to LA for Lubomir Visnovsky. Great pick-ups for the Kings...

I don't know about "erasing" the previous year, but my guess is Pittsburgh and company (and you also, for that matter) quickly forgot about 2008's Stanley Cup Finals loss the second the horn sounded after game 7 of the 2009 Finals...

That's probably a bit harsh because Bosh has had some good moments with the Heat...

Bosh is Shawn Bradley with a 15 foot jump shot. Nevermind younger players abusing Wade...he got torched by Manu and Tony Parker too! Hard to be too tough on Miami though - Magic Johnson lost 3 NBA finals (83, 84, 86), Larry Bird lost 2 (85, 87), and Dr J lost 3 (77, 80, 82). The great ones all lost sometime - save for MJ and the rigged 1990's NBA's darling Chicago Bulls.

Anyone else think that Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade Wade should give some of this year's salary BACK to the Heat? What a sad finals performance out of those two.

It's never too early to start a hockey thread... It's already been an interesting off-season with the firing of Dan Bylsma...I'm sure it's only going to get more interesting before next season's first puck drops. My six fearless predictions: The Red Wings make a big splash in free agent signings and become a force again in the east. The Penguins third jersey becomes so popular that Mario is forced to make Pittsburgh gold its full-time color and scrap Vegas gold altogether. The Florida Panthers announce that the team will move to Seattle for the 2015-2016 season. The NHL reverts back to white jerseys at home. Joe Thornton is traded by San Jose. Marian Gaborik does the smart thing and stays in LA - and the Kings become the first team since the Red Wings in 97 and 98 to repeat as Stanley Cup champions.

If it wasn't for Roloson's injury in the 2006 finals, Greene might be a 3-time Stanley Cup winner...

So much for the Tigers running away with this thing...Verlander is throwing BP fastballs from the mound these days. This could be the year of the (gasp!) Royals!

Mexico with a riveting 1-0 win over Cameroon!

I can still recall Matt Greene waving to Sioux fans as he left the ice following an NCAA semi-final victory over Minnesota in Columbus in 2005 - gesturing "1 more" to the crowd. I also recall his total dejection two days later following the loss to Denver in the final. It's nice to see #2 with a big smile on his face again.

No doubt. I know most folks will look back and think this series was a 4-1 rout, but 3 of the games went to OT, including last night's 2-OT finale. The Rangers certainly had their chances in this series. I hate to see the season end. Now what do I do until October?

I wonder if Alec Martinez will bring it to Oxford, OH?

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings...the 2014 Stanley Cup champions! What a playoff run!

I'd take Jeff Carter on my team any day of the week...

It's an LA Kings shooting gallery!

Rangers hanging on for dear life...wow!

I must have imagined that 2011 regional where CC put a whoopin' on the defending national champs...

Why is it that if you're from Mexico, you're Mexican, if you're from Japan, you're Japanese, and Italy, you're Italian, but if you're from the Netherlands, you're Dutch? Same thing for Denmark and being Danish.

Can someone "loan" jerseys for the display or do they have to be sold outright?

I spent about 8 minutes watching Croatia vs Brazil earlier today...3 different guys bumped in the face - all fell down in apparent agony writhing around in pain. For a second there, I thought I was watching Miami vs San Antonio and the NBA Finals!

I'm going with Italy to win the whole thing this year... Just kidding. I know the rest of the world is in love with soccer but I just don't get the obsession...

Well, of course! I probably saw a duck or two back in the day in the great lakes area around Belfield. LOL!

Blah blah blah...ducks...blah blah blah...color...blah blah blah...Not at all like penguins...blah blah blah... Someone else in this thread was told by REA staff that Parise wore the "A" as well...bad information on their part. Jeremy, this is a great thread topic...perhaps other posters could tag along here and post their own pictures of places that Sioux jerseys have been worn?

Didn't you get the memo? Bill Buckner threw out the 1st pitch at Fenway a few years ago in what was obviously a very emotional moment for him. Boston has forgiven Bill - not that he needed to apologize to anyone. Snake, I still have nightmares of Sidney Crosby raising the Stanley Cup at JLA in 2009. I still can't believe that the Red Wings lost that game.
