Stanley Cup Playoff Pick'em 2010

[rah]

I was surprised that the tribune's editorial board didn't have a problem with this considering how they usually bow to the PC crowd.

[-Jrabbit]

It's pretty stupid. Very odd for the Tribune to do this.

Chrissy Pronger
Looks like Tarzan, skates like Jane

I'm also VERY surprised the Tribune published this.
Maybe because it's "just" sports, they let it pass
Or maybe they just got caught up in the emotion of Cup
Or maybe they never showed it to anybody and sent it directly to the printer
Or maybe the editors were asleep at the switch
Or maybe all the PC people had already gone home
Or maybe everybody at the Tribune really hates Pronger
Or maybe they think he really deserves it after a minus 5 performance

Or maybe they simply thought it was funny.

And while it is a shock to see it appear in the conservate Tribune, it did make me laugh when I saw it.

It's pretty stupid.

Game 6 ready to start... GO HAWKS!

[Asher]

HAWKS IN 6. Just as I predicted.

I ALSO DEMAND AN ADDITIONAL AWARD FOR PREDICTING THE 2010 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION BACK IN 2008.

[Theben]

Nice game, good ending.

Stop trying to steal my thunder

I am the champion my friends----

While I would have liked to see Marian Hossa do what I can only guess hasn't been done (in recent years anyway) by losing the stanley cup finals three years in a row with three different teams....I would have laughed my head off but good for him that he finally found a team to win with.

I am equally pleased to see the Black Hawks break their current record of longest drought without winning the cup, passing it to it's rightful place of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the new holders of the record for ineptitude.

Okay, so I almost didn't care who won this, congrats Hawks anyway....it's good to see that a team at the bottom can draft some talented young players and build to win the cup so quickly...it gives me some hope for Edmonton's future.

[Asher]

I moved up.

[Ben Kenobi]

Well, I almost didn't lose despite only getting points in the first round. That's rather sad.

Glad to see I was right that the best series was Vancouver/Chicago. They were a cupworthy team this year.

[Asher]

I didn't lose, despite only getting points for the first round.

Please recap how much better I am than you. Look at that ****ing list.

Flames fans are the smartest.

[Ben Kenobi]

Considering as I made no picks after the Canucks got bounced, I should hope you did better than I did.

Top three is Flubber, JRabbit/Ming

That tells me that Oilers fans are smartest followed by Chicago fans.

[-Jrabbit]

Great game -- very scary. No quit in those Flyers. Captivating.

Congrats, Flubber. Well chosen, sir.

Q: Did Toews actually deserve the Conn Smyth, or is that just some kind of "we love you" vote?
