Hockey night in ... Motor City !!!!

[TexasTimbers]

Hey nice to have you on our side Marcel!!! (if even for a couple hours ) 8)

[TexasTimbers]

That's the kind of bad call than could cost us the game. We can't afford for the refs to be calling interference when it wasn't. If they scroe here that might be the deciding thing. Got to overcome that though . . . .

[Warbird]

Yeah, that was a bad interference call.  That was clean.  Ah well, the way I see it, we're tied up on bad calls now.

[Warbird]

Wow.  Gotta hand it to the Stars, that was a nice goal!

[TexasTimbers]

;D x 10

[isawlogs]

Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal

   2 - 1 for da Stars

[TexasTimbers]

Not gonna get to see or hear the rest of the 2nd. The AM station in Dallas that plays it is too weak for my truck to pick up.

Hope it isn't a shocker when I get back.

[Warbird]

Bah.  Holstrom (sp?) may have just cost the Wings the game with that really brilliant (ie. stupid) penalty. 

Arg.  I have to leave soon.

[Warbird]

Congrats Stars.  That was a great game.

[Roxie]

  Go Stars Go !!!!  

They won!!   8) 8)  What a great game!!  We've got a contest here!! 

Note to Warbird:  NBC will be carrying the Flyers vs. Penguins game tomorrow 3 PM Eastern Time.  I guess that'll be around 11 AM your time.  I predict Pennsylvania to win.   :D

[TexasTimbers]

In game 4 they saved face and avoided embarassment. Today, they accomplished alot.
1) They showed they aren't playing just for pride, these guys are playing to win and now believe they can.
2) The momentum is all Dallas now. If they win 6 they will be coming back into JL with more confidence than they have had all year, and they have aready upset two teams that were more talented sp they weren't lacking in the confidence department to begin with.
3) And the biggest thing that happened today, especially if they win Monday night, is that Turco will not be facing the haunting spectre of "Oh at the Joe" for game 7. He shook that demon today once and for all, and game 7 will be bigger than the Thrilla in Manilla. Well at least to us hockey fans. It will be up for grabs then.

Hey Marcel, you might ought to start hoping the wings win this thing. Because if the Stars actually pull this comeback off, they're going to go through the Panguns or the Flyers like a buzz saw. ;D

Click your heels together and say We can win game 6. We can win game 6. We can win game 6. . . . . .

Roxie me and my lovely wife, a hockey fan herself, will be watching and cheering on our Broad Street Bullies tomorrow!
8) 8) 8)

[TexasTimbers]

. . . . . she'll be watching the stars game Monday night. She knew that already, but what she doesn't know is she'll be watching it live, at the AAC!  8)

I couldn't resist. Today got me all swept up in the fever. Plus, we have been saying for the lasy several years if they make the playoffs we'll go, because we have been to regular season games but never a playoff. Our seats are good ones too. Not right on the glass but only about 30' away. Not bad at all! Look for us on the tube Monday night in Section 104. We'll be holding a sign that says . . . . . .

  8)  8) smiley_flipping 8) GO STARS! GO!!!!!  8) smiley_flipping 8)  8)

[isawlogs]

    Well you lucky son of a gun  8)  Way da go !!!!
Now if you only had a sign that read " Go Pingouins Go !!! " We would be sure to notice you  ;D

[metalspinner]

The only hockey game I have ever attended was a Dallas Stars/ San Jose Sharks playoff game in Dallas.  That was already about ten years ago. I got to play the National Anthem.   And boy was that place pumped up before the game.  Right before the anthem, they hustled me out of the little waiting room and tucked me under the bleachers to await the introduction.  Boy was I getting nervous. :D  But, the call came and everything went just fine.    They comped me great seats, too.  About 5 rowes up behind the goalie. 8)  Seeing the game in person is  a lot more exciting than watching on the tube.

We'll keep an eye out for you, TT. :D Pop_corn

                                                                                                                                                          Can I change the subject just a little, This past winter the bantam hockey team from Houlton Maine (next to the Canadian border ) were  invited to a tournament in Bangor Me they were 1-20, anyway they won the tournament, at the end one of the coaches said"I heard you guys only won one game all year" "That is correct "the Houlton coach said but We play in CANADA 8)

[TexasTimbers]

Spinner that's a cool story I would like to hear a few details! How did you get picked for that?! ???

You played your trumpet (sax?) in the old reunion arena which was a good arena but the American Airlines Center is LOUD! I have been to activities in both and the ACC rocks.

I could not keep my secret from my wife. : I was too excited. PArt of the fun is getting psyched up for the game and I did not want to rob her of that. ;)

If they win tomorrow, and the Flyers win today, I am going to start believing in a Stars -  Flyers final. 8)

[metalspinner]

How did you get picked for that?!

I sent in a CD of me playing the National Anthem.  It was that simple.  Of course, I used the K.I.S.S. method (Keep It Simple Stupid). And that is what set me apart from everyone else.  Ever since Whitney Houston "did her thing" way back with the National Anthem, everyone felt they needed to put their own personal mark on it. :

BTW, you need to be careful with hockey, because you might need to play the "O Canada" as well. :D

[isawlogs]

  Man I missed the first periode  :-\ :'(  I broke the pin sleeve on the back-hoe boom and needed it fixed .....   >:(  I got in just in time to see the third goal  8) 8) 8)


      Go Pingouins  Go !!!!

[TexasTimbers]

That's impressive spinner! Cool story.

Poor Flyers. They's gettin whupped hard.

ouch....

[isawlogs]

  Na na na na .. na na na na.....  Hey hey hey .........  ;D 8)

[TexasTimbers]

I never saw such a lopsided game in any playoff contest in any sport.

If I was a Fly I wouldn't show my face in public again until October. That was pathetic.

[TexasTimbers]

Well, my hockey fan friends, we are heading out in a little while. I was assured by the front desk clerk at our hotel that we will have plenty of company in the short shuttle ride to and from the AAC tonight. And they will all be Redwing fans!  8)

We hope to be the only specks of green and black and white in a sea of red-clothed Mitcha-kinners.  Depepnding on the outcome of the game though, since the hotel is only a 15 minute walk from the AAC - we may not ride the shuttle back!

Hopefully we will be walking. That will mean we smeared them to the point we would not feel safe riding back with 12 anebriated, infuriated Wing fans looking to exact their revenge against a couple of Texans, even if it is about even odds.  :D

GO STARS! GO!!!!!!
