Who's your team?

Terry.. Cypress Hill? You continue to amaze me.

Pisses me off that during the end of the regular season, the networks prefer to show pre-season baseball (or sumo wrestling...) instead of an exciting sport where teams were fighting for playoff spots...

I agree! Unfortunately, they just show what the majority of viewers want (baseball), not sure why they would show sumo though. I was able to watch every Calgary game since Feb7, because that's what the viewers here want. There were a few PPV games, but at least they were available to watch from my lazy-boy.

Edit: Since I live in northern Alberta (Oilers country), I could have watched every Oilers game from home, with PPV, for the entire season.

Hehe, me too. I really like them though. Fun times, but I didn't blend in well and I am sure a lot of people pegged me as a Narc... Oh well, I enjoyed myself. I even got to sit down with the opening band and chat (still have no idea what the name of their band was...).

Well..................

I was so busy at work last night, I didn't get to hear much of the game, but from what I heard, it sounds like the sharks came to play and deserved the win. Now that the Flames are out, I have to decide who I'm going to cheer for now. I'll probably be cheering for Pittsburg / San Jose to the final with the sharks winning the cup. I usually cheer for the team that puts the Flames out of the playoffs.

I guess I have to change my user title.

INCREDIBLE!

There is NOTHING in sports like a Hockey playoff game 7! I seriously believe that the crowd does matter and we were LOUD last night. JR was on fire and fought for the puck every time he was on the ice( 2 goals, 2 assists). I also think part of the win was the Sharks ability to get under Kippers skin.

...and the handshake... I have never witnessed it live and it is a show of sportsmanship like in no other sport. Owen Nolan gave Nabby a hug at the end and it was like 2 old friends meeting after a long separation (it was really). Last nights game was also the first time I have ever heard the Canadian national anthem sung so loud. Instead of a singer, they had a Sax player and the crowd just got louder and louder singing both anthems. For a moment i thought we were in Canada (hell I even remembered the words!).

Calgary was a very tough opponent for the Sharks and I thought it could go either way. Home ice is definitely an advantage.

NEXT! Lookout Dallas!

There's a lot of connection between Calgary and San Jose, and therefore a lot of mutual respect, which makes the handshake ceremony even more meaningful. Just like in Calgary's last game of the season in Vancouver; the unplanned handshake ceremony with Linden gave me warm fuzzy feelings even the next day. And I wasn't even there, I just watched it on TV. I can just imagine what it felt like to be in the crowd, seeing one of their leaders being acknowledged like that.

Of the 3 games in SJ that I was able to watch on TV, I don't remember hearing any booing during the anthems. I was hoping there wouldn't be any last night either, good sportsmanship for the fans in San Jose also.

Only once ever did anyone boo during the Canadian national anthem. That was a couple of years ago and it was not the anthem the crowd was booing at rather the person they showed on the jumbotron (for the life of me I can not remember who they showed). I think it was Edmonton...

The only other time there is booing during the Anthem's is when the Sharks play the Stars. People are booing at the word "Stars" not the anthem. I don't boo though and most of the rowdies in my section don't boo either, but we get accused of it since we are known as the "bad section". Whenever they do the Zamboni races on the Jumbotron, they always have a Pirate Zamboni and it always represents section 209. We break out in chants of "Pirate, Pirate, Pirate"!

Can you tell I am still amped from the game? Hell it took me 2 hours to fall asleep last night... Jeez, what a silly little sport can do to you.

I remember that, but I never realized that it was a certain player that sparked that. It was in the 06 playoffs, SJ against Edmonton. I remember the way the Canadian press blew it up into an international incident. That whole thing was just big a misunderstanding, now I know. Thanks. After some research, it was Pronger that was shown on the screen. It seems to me we had a previous conversation where his name came up in a negative way.

I hate it when the Flames games start @ 8:00 pm local time, if I have to work dayshift the next day. I have to get up @ 4:00 am. Game is over about 11:00, if it's a good game, I'm pumped and can't sleep for a couple of hours. If it's a bad game, I'm pissed and don't sleep for at least an hour. Add in a 45 minute commute each way and then a 12 hour shift, and I'm pretty tired by the end of the next day. Of course, I could just go to bed, but then I'd just toss and turn wondering how the game is anyway, so I might as well watch it. Oh well, I have a few months now to catch up on some sleep.

The Kansas City Chiefs baby!!!
Even though I graduated from K-State I gotta show some respect to the Jayhawks for their recent championship.
