Big hugs for both teams.
2-1 was the score

And thanks to Conroy for making the 3rd period a great moment.

Congrats to both teams. Now we'll have the Stanley Cup Champion in our fucking division!

So glad for Andreychuk! Awesome guy.

Wow, I don't even know what to say anymore.  I'm feeling to numb to really cry, to angry to be happy for Andrepuke and too despondent to scream in anger.  This was the first time I've been in a city where it seemed that everyone was behind the team.  I was in Australia during the 1998 Cup run for the Caps, so it didn't hit me as hard. 

Renee is currently watching the ceremonies, and I have to admit, I can't do it.  I want to be happy for the Lightning, a team that has worked hard to get out of the basement of the NHL and pull themselves into the ranks of respectability.  I just can't bring myself to do it. 

I can't even fault the NHL officials... it was a crap calling game all round.  I don't even know when the next season will be, so I can't say "Oh, it's okay, there's always next year", because at this point in time, there may not be a next year.  I feel bad, but most of all I feel bad for the players.  I mean, I'll be okay eventually, but they had to play in that debacle and be present for all the hoopla that is the final ceremonies.

Bah!!!!  Whatever, I'll dig myself out of this hole eventually, but probably not for a few months at least.  That's probably a good thing in hindsight, I don't even want to see a puck for a few days at least.  I hope Renee has a brown paper bag around somewhere, I may need it when I head into the office tomorrow.

Insert witty phrase of your own, I can't be bothered.

Great series between two evenly matched teams .
No need for the Flames(or their fans) to hang their heads.

Just updated the main page of WWS plus the Flames' and Bolts' lineups. Now, I go to bed to rest my back a little. It's the dawn, here. Night all.

Way to go, Bolts!  Congrats to both teams for a great series.

P.S.  At least the refs gave the Flames their goal back with that outrageously stupid interference call.

what an awesome 3rd period, anyone who wasn't a hockey fan who saw that is probably a fan now.   too bad because there might not be a season next year. now i'm depressed because who knows how long it will be before we have stanley cup playoffs again....

Don't make me angry.... you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.....

Sorry, Chris. I have to admit it was one of the best series I have seen in a long time. Congrats to both teams. Flames have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. They played woderfully and with all the heart one team could have.
