This has been a disappointing series so far. On paper, it looked like it was going to be the best one. ...hopefully, tonight they'll both open it up.
It should be loud in shark tank...lousy return to bet on favourite so may go with wings.

I think I'm going to avoid betting on the wings even though I know they can win.

I meant stay where it belongs ;-)

 

[FriendlyCanadian]

well HT most of the talented players in the NHL are canadian so the cup does travel here quite often, and it's kept safe in the hockey hall of fame in TO when it's not traveling.

but I know what you're getting at.

 

[FriendlyCanadian]

shit.. ass.. crap.. it's tied..

 

[H_T_]

Lord Stanleys Cup hasn't been on Canadian soil in 14 years.....it's kinda sad...

that was way to close for comfort at the end, I still think the wings are going to jump out on the sharks early in the third, babcock is a very good coach.

Yeah at least its not a blow out. We need to steal one on their ice though.

 

[FriendlyCanadian]

oh damn.. this looks pretty much over now.. =(

 

[Spartacus]

you do get Versus? Robbie Kneivel commercial?

yeah I found it at the end of the channels available(73)
I've been watching hockey all weekend and there's been some great games
half have been OT

 

[H_T_]

the Sharks are not as i thought. the Wings will win game 4.

 

[FriendlyCanadian]

the Sharks are not as i thought. the Wings will win game 4.

I like that perdiction, the wings are not going to go down 3-1 in the series, it's going to be a battle. I expect the wings to come out flying.. aha ha.

 

[Spartacus]

Robbie Kneivel commercial?

yeah that one
I laugh still every time I see that bike vector right into that bus
the quality of the commercials in the versus NHL broadcasts is pretty good which is a good sign for the league
they need to tune the marketing of the NHL because it really is an intense and constant view with only occassional breaks
if you have something "on" the match it's quite exciting especialy OT
