[GDT] June 11, Game six of the Stanley Cup Finals!

[Dion]

I thought for sure it was going to OT so i stepped out and went to the beer store

Sour way to end a Cup Final as the Preds were robbed of a goal.

The worst part is Bettman being booed by ignorant fans whose team wouldn't have a chance at competing if it wasn't for the cap that Bettman and the owners fought for.

Is Crosby better than Toews yet?

[Hockey_Ninja]

Crosby honestly deserved the Conn Smythe more this year then last year

[TheScorpion]

Damn, reaping some serious karma on reddit tonight!

they need to stop going into the 2nd week of june
end in may, start the regular season two weeks earlier if need be. hockey in late september is betteer then early june
and these two days break between games just kills momentum and interest

He's always been the best player in the league.

Nice houndstooth jacket.

[Manhattanboy]

Flames beat Pens in one of the most satisfying wins of the season.

[FireGilbert]

Should have been Malkin. Not surprised it is Crosby.

[Nsd1]

Mr. 101 almost fell

[IrishSpring2013]

remember when teams would skate around the ice togehter, handing it off one-by-one.. and not this awkward skate by urself in the same spot stuff?

I agree that the season needs to wrap up sooner. I'd like to see some back to back action in the playoffs. It is hard on the players but they can pull through. I would also support a best of 5 first round followed by best of 7 for the remainder of the playoffs.

[Jetfire]

Oh I forgot Streit was on the team though he wasn't a regular, I'm happy for him and Hainsey at least.

Last year I didn't think it should have been Sid, but this year it absolutely had to be him.

This can't really be debated

I'd happily debate them playing without their best goalie. Murray would too.

I hope they interview Shania again.

Haha ok. I remember reading on your goalie thread who should be your next goalie...so many people on here were saying you could maybe get Murray. Like it was a possibility?

So yeah, maybe that guy was joking, I'm not an internet mind-reader like you...but take a look at your goalie thread. Quite a few Flames' fans seriously thought Murray was a possibility.

Once again hitting home that the Stanley Cup is the greatest trophy in sports, and this celebration is the best. Contrast it to the Super Bowl, where they erect a stage and an announcer presents a tiny trophy to the team owner.
