Game 5 freakin' rocked!

I would be happy with either team winning, but Edmonton winning as the #8 seed would be phenomenal.

Originally I wanted them to win on the basis that I assumed Carolina just won a few years ago.  I think I was thinking of Tampa.  So I wouldn't throw a fit either way.

I'm not from Canada, but for some reason a southern team winning the Stanley Cup just isn't right....Carolina?....I can just picture all the young Carolina kinds going outside in the winter and playing on all of the frozen ponds... ;D

I originally wanted Edmonton to win because of Roli the goalie. (I live in Minnesota) Now I want them to win for him and because they were #8 and they beat the Red Wings. Game 7 should be fun. I would say all of the games so far have been very entertaining. Lots of speed and lots of checking. I also love how pretty much every player on the Oliers team will lay down in front of a slap shot. There is NO WAY I would do that. They are crazy.

Go Oilers!

If my NJ Devils can't win every cup, and apparently they can't, then go Canada!

Being a Blues fan, it is nice to finally see some of our players in the finals.  Now, with that being said, I have to follow my heart and stick with rooting for Pronger.  Go Oilers!   (I feel so dirty saying that)

Hey you gotta give credit to the canadien folk especially Cam Ward

Living in the Boston area and not being able to afford tickets to the Bruins ...my wife , my 8yr old son , and I have season tickets to the Lowell Lock Monsters ....Carolina ahl affiliate . We watched Cam Ward stop puck after puck last year that kid is unbeleiveable ...so calm .

GO Carolina
BTW  My was asked to play for the Lockmonster Jr program

JackTucky ....On a side note next year the lockmonsters are going to be affiliated with the red wings

I'm mostly rooting for Prongs also.  Blues Hockey will be interesting next year I think.  Hopefully we'll be like Buffalo in a few years. 

GO HOCKEY!  :D

Well put.  It sucks that the Blues players were sent to the four corners, but it is nice to see Pronger in the Finals.

Too depressed to leave a message after the final game.  Whole town is a bit down but there is always next season.
