Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 Will, should we explain again to redbaron the fanbase that has always been around in Tampa or is it worth our time? I'd say no, being that Tampa Bay is one period away from winning the Stanley Cup and all, I'd rather waste my energy on celebrating Tampa's victory should they hold on to win. Besides, Tampa swept out redbaron's team in the second round as it is. That's victory enough for me. Hey...win 24 Stanley Cups...then say something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 Pretty shady way to end the series. That was not a charging call. *Maybe* a high stick, couldn't tell if the stick got him, but even then St. Louis was bent over & the Calgary guy really didn't get his stick up that much.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 nah, it was clearly a shoulder hit, and when St. Louis fell the Calgary player followed through and cut himself. Don't worry, I think Tampa did a good job diving in this game (especially Stillman in the first period) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 Why doesn't someone shut Gary Bettman up?! God he's annoying. He's from the David Stern school of hogging the spotlight.

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 Pretty sad when you are pissed that it's another country winning the cup. Oh, I'm just pissed about the lack of effort from Calgary, Fraser being fucking Fraser, and of course, Bettman being himself. [sarcasm] Lovely. Just fucking lovely.

Well, considered they're OWNED by the people of Canada... Actually there are these two factions in CBC currently. Even though CBC's highest rated show is HNIC, one faction wants to get rid of hockey and replace it with amateur stuff. Hence why Cherry ain't coming back.

The Kid 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 I'm really depressed. I was toying with going down to 17th...but nah. Fraser pulled his shit, but still, we didn't play our best game until there was 10 minutes left. Calgary choked, the miracle run is over in a shitty 2-1 game.
