#1siouxfan22 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Tough call for Sutter to pull Commy but cant do anything now. I would like to state the Stanley needing a tan thing is stupid. Its good to see new teams win it but canada needed that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoteauRinkRat Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I don't second guess Sutter for benching Commie at all. Lydman was a regular D-man who got healthy and they put him back in the lineup, where he had an immediate impact in Game 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommiejo Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Looking back all I can say this run for the cup was one hell of a ride. You have to agree that the Tampa Bay Lighting have come along way. Who have though this when the team was form back in 1990 that in less than 15 years they would have won the cup. Now with that said, this series that has just been completed (please forgive me for my lousy spelling) it was one hell of a series. Everyone who either watch the series on either TV or live did get there money's worth. All I can is that if there is a work stopage like I have been hearing & I hope that doesn't happen but if it does at least there's "UND FIGHTIN SIOUX HOCKEY." Also I would like to give a special congrats to Calgary for giving us on hell of a series. Better yet thank both teams for giving us one hell of a series. SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973.

The Sicatoka Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 As bad as I feel for Commie, I feel for Rhett Warrener. Why? He played for Buffalo against Dallas in the Cup Finals when Hull scored a goal that wouldn't have been a goal during any other game that season. (They had waived off a ton of similar goals during that season after video reviews. They didn't that time.) This time, in Game 6, the puck off of Warrener's teammate Martin Gelinas' skate wasn't (it seems) properly reviewed at the time. A review of that may have made it 3-2 Calgary.

#1siouxfan22 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 I think that was a goal. The flames should have won in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertrex Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I said a few days ago that Sutter screwed up the team chemistry when he pulled Commie for Lydman...the icing was that Lydman played like a guy that hadn't played for six weeks. Sure, he came out steaming, but he tapered off and played like a turd in games six and seven...he turned the puck over two or three times and got pinched a few times too. I'm sure he's great, but he wasn't ready to step back in, especially at such a critical time. The chemistry and mood of the series was already was ahead of him - it'd be like joining a group of friends who've been partying for four or five hours and you're on your first beer... So here's to Commodore becoming a superstar on someone else's team...Good luck Mike and I hope that your attitude and work ethic are rewarded soon.

MinnesotaNorthStar Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I think that was a goal. The flames should have won in 6. They did do their job...replay was inconclusive. ABC showed an animation that showed how it was possible the puck was not in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagard Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 They did do their job...replay was inconclusive. ABC showed an animation that showed how it was possible the puck was not in... While I think the puck was entirely across the line, the goalie made it way to close to call. What I didn't like was the lack of review. It reminded me too much of the horrible Dallas/Buffalo fiasco. It's too bad, Tampa will be back, I don't think Calgary will be. It would have been very nice to see them win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
