So stop watching. I'd rather enjoy my holiday with my family then drive them crazy watching a series my team isn't even a part of. In this day and age, you'll be able to find all the highlights online, so you won't miss anything.

Whats the problem? don't remember any crying when Kipper was doing it for the Flames

Nobody is crying. It is only fair to point out how difficult it will be for Jones to hold his team in like that for two more games.

I can't believe we're playing hockey in June. Too long a season for my liking. Besides when it comes to choosing between a game a golf or watching hockey, golf always wins.

Then again just maybe the Sharks decide to show up for game and make it easy for Jones.

I don't recall this much bickering during last year's finals

Obviously there will always be opinions, but the intensity of the arguments (especially when neither team usually provokes such feelings), has been somewhat bizarre

Given what you just posted, this seems like a very simple problem for you to solve, and an incredibly rediculous complaint.

[JohnnyB]

As long as the reffing is fair, there should never really be a complaint that the winning team didn't deserve it. SJ was dominated, but they scored more goals. Jones outplayed Murray and although the Pens got several posts, they didn't get the goals. The Pens do look awesome though.

LA or Chicago would be putting up a better way fight in terms of on ice play. Sharks really caught lightning in a bottle this year to be representing the western conference.

It doesn't really make sense to pick the username "GoJetsGo" if you were a Flames fan, whether Winnipeg had a team at the time or not.

I'm impressed that he had the user name GoJetsGo locked up on CP in 1971

This is a compelling final.

Posts are arguably as good as saves.
SJ could have easily have won one of games 1 or 2 but for some puck luck.

I admire Crosby's steely determination and believe that he is good enough to have more than one cup to his name.

I also admire SJ, Thornton's consistent high level of play over a stellar career, and the raw skill of Burns, with the skating ability and offensive acumen to be a killer rover/D

Pittsburgh may arguably deserve it more right now but have to win 4 games.

Murray was arguably not quite ready out of the gate and Jones gritted out a heck of a win.

Again, this is a compelling final.

I hope we see a game seven

This won't happen. The Sharks are an average team who likely does not have much more to give. If they were capable of playing better we would have seen some evidence of it by now.

sunday night? really? Saturday night would be perfect of course. Sunday afternoon even!

[Hackey]

Ya odd choice for sure (Probably wasn't a choice). On the positive Saturday is open to do whatever you like.

Yeah, I don't get why Flames fans can have such strong feelings one way or another about teams that aren't the Flames, Oilers or Canucks. I suppose you could have, like, 8 teams you absolutely loathe, and the Sharks or Penguins could be one of them. But having 8 teams you absolutely loathe is like having 8 teams you absolutely love. Seems kinda indiscriminate.

It's an American thing. Sunday = sports.
