GAME DAY: SCP '09, THURSDAY JUNE 4, STANLEY CUP FINAL--DETROIT AT PITTSBURGH, 800 PM ET

The Penguins have marched back into the Stanley Cup Finals.

Those who enjoy the singing of portly females may wish to look elsewhere.

There was a Wings fan who talked about 'boys against men'. Hm. Da Boyz made the Red Men look like they needed a blood transfusion tonight.

Never mess with Hockey Karma.

Because "it ain't over til it's over"...to quote Yogi Berra and Lenny Kravitz.

And for TRUE hockey aficionados...there's nothing like a deadlocked battle for the Magnificent Mug.

On to Detroit!

Wow, that game was better than Malkin love to my wife.

Now we really have a series.

Some of the most awesome displays of pure talent yet. Really great game for the Pens. Game on! Bring on the Joe.

HA HA! Malkin is making a case for the Conn Smythe... that's for sure.

And Crosby could have done without the embellishment on the hack by Maltby. I mean, really, c'mon.

You know, if only they'd brought Mama Malkin on the road with them to the first two, we could have a very different series on our hands. They should bring her to the game on Saturday, she'll smack that fat lady upside her face with her purse.

Yeah, I saw that on the high-lights. It could very easily have been quite painful, if he caught him *right* on that spot where the shinguards flex, but even then I doubt it would have been *that* painful for a guy who took a stick to the mouth, lost some teeth, and still found the balls to yap to the ref about it. Staying down on the ice as long as he did, that was completely over the top. As much as he has made strides, he still does this crap once in a while. Please stop it.

If I have to see Crosby raising the cup for the next year after this I may just stop watching hockey all together. That image will be played for the next 20 years... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu**
