06.05.08 RED WINGS CAN SUP FROM MY CUP
![\](http://www.withleather.com//ul/5966-redwingschampswl.jpg "\")
NHL - The Red Wings captured their fourth Stanley Cup in 11 seasons and blah blah blah, pardon me while I engage in a mild inward seethe now that the Penguins team I'm a pretty fairweather fan of has been thoroughly outclassed in the series' deciding Game 6. Pittsburgh played lackadaisical hockey most of last night, helped no doubt by a pretty dominating performance by the Wings. Nice of Evgeni Malkin to finally get on the board. After dragging ass for about 58 minutes, the Pens tried the last-minute surge that served them so well in Game 5, getting a goal from Marian Hossa in the final minutes to narrow the Detroit lead to one, then having a decent chance to tie at the buzzer. Didn't help matters that they were limited to one shot through the final period leading up to that point. That and Marc-Andre Fleury pushing in the deciding goal by Henrik Zetterberg. Guh. Lots of firsts for Americans to be apathetic about: Niklas Lindstrom becomes to first European born and trained player to captain a Stanley Cup champ. And Dan Cleary becomes the first player from Newfoundland ever to win a Stanley Cup. Well, naturally, they just discovered the place! [Bah-do chieeee!]
MLB - Lots of Coco Crisp-related drama during the Red Sox 5-1 win over the Rays to recapture 1st place in the AL East. He slid late in second! But it was in retailation for the second baseman keeping his knee down on a steal attempt! Better to settle it the traditional way and let pitchers throw at a batter's head the next inning…
French Open - Still going on, apparently. Wake me when the sexy girls play.

RED WINGS CAN SUP FROM MY CUP
Hats off to the Wings. I was rooting for the Pens (or at least for a Game 7), but Detroit played good hockey throughout this series and the rest of the playoffs.
It pains me to say that, trust me.
It wasn't the best game but what a last 2 minutes! Finally, now hockey has a place on Mike and Mike between their discussions about the start of the Lakers series and some inane story Golic was telling. I am so proud.
ibex urine: the most deadly of all urine
Grew up in Michigan cheering for the Wings in the early 90's and watched them shit the bed against teams like Toronto, San Jose, etc… It's great to see another cup but nothing compares to 97.
What?? The NY Islanders didn't win? What the fuck!!
/Yearning for the 80's
Throw in some fugu fish cut up by a sake swilling sushi chef and all the Red Wings go Jim Jones on us.
Fuck Detroit. It's the number one major city that should burn.
Now can we finally start talking about the draft?
big fucking party in detroit for the nextr few days!!!!!!!
as for the city burning, no it wont happen. the pistons and lions didnt win anything. and cleveland is far worse.
Please throw Kwamme in the fire!
Jim Thome's My Homie hit a 500 foot homer last night UFF.
Time to cryogenically freeze Jim Jones again…
@rv, you're either wrong or retarded because there is nothing worse than Detroit.
@Enrico: Apparently you have never been to Philly.
God, I can't imagine how depressed Pittsburghers must be today. They've bled and cried with this team for…like, two years now. Painful. Just painful.
Not Pictured: CYR & The rest of the Pen's bandwagon.
Random Jewish commissionerGary Bettman is so terrible at his job.Your league is clammoring for ratings, so instead of having the Cup won in Detroit, after a thrilling 3OT game, where fans would've gone mental, Detroit skates around in a 1/5 full Pittsburgh arena that's the oldest and most decrepit in the league.
Honestly, can the NHL do anything right?
