  • Signs of the Apocalypse

    As it appears Brooky has bled out...again, I thought it might be interesting to start a thread which relates to the weird and wacky world of Hockey to pass the summer months. In keeping with the Sports Illustrated's theme "Signs of the Apocalypse" that appears in their mag I found this article this a.m.

    One sure way to create a curse...The real Cup will never end up in Ottawa now...

      You know what they say, Big Cup............

              I dunno...What do you prefer Big Cup or Big Yap....

              There is a lot of Yap on the Hill......but....often little action. This sounds like another grandiose idea from what one local broadcaster would term "a bunch of LW Granola Crunchers". Waste of taxpayers money.

              P.S.....After tonight I think the Cup may go back to its roots. Les Habitants de Montréal.

                  Be ready to bring that Bucket to the Garden in May.....We may still see a rekindling of the famous Bruin-Habs rivalry in round 3. Last time these two teams met this late in the playoffs was 1979.....The year of the infamous "Too Many Men" and the subsequent "Lafleur Goal" to tie the game. It cost Grapes his job.

                    Woah there, OnMAA, let's not get to far ahead of ourselves now. If the Wings play like they can, the cup could end up in Motor City....at least that is my hope.

                        Easy OnMAA...the improbable Habs win (Miracle at the Verizon) last night has aligned the moons for a throwback 2nd round tilt between two teams that have also seen their fair share of historic battles over the years. Flyers vs. Bruins, Chara vs. Pronger, the Winter Classic rematch. Beauty!

                        My Flyers in 7...

                          Since this thread has evolved into an NHL nostalgic memory lane stroll, I figure it was worth noting that Boston is unveiling a new sculpture outside the Garden on May 10th. It will be the 40th anniversary of "The Goal" and I've heard that the statue will feature an airborne Bobby.

                          Yep, might have to take an early lunch to go check that out!

                          Psst... 5_4_Fighting, my Bruins in 6

                            This thread may evolve into a lot of things.

                            Anybody out there remember who it was that tripped Orr and made him fly?
                            I do.

                            Sorry Ice... but the Standell's and Dirty Water can't hold a candle to this...

                              Someone get me a bucket, I think I'm gonna puke. The only team I hate almost as much as the Habs.
