Is the reality of the Stanley Cup hitting you now?

Question

Tonight the holy grail of hockey could quite realisticly be handed to detroit for their (13?) Cup.

Now ive never had the chance to see the stanley cup celebration.

last year when the ducks won it, my sattelitte went down before the game!

so this year im so determined!

but isn't it exciting that after such a short feeling season, that this could be it?

Answer 1

I am pretty excited.  It is always fun when teams get close to winning the cup or eliminitation.

Answer 2

Short?? Holy c**p man they'll be back at it in 3 months! Where have you been since Sept.?

Answer 3

the leafs suck if that what your asking.

Answer 4

i cant wait to see that cup raised up high tonight

Answer 5

I'm Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... excited.

Answer 6

My Dad and I were talking about that yesterday.What are we going to watch until the preseason starts? I feel that the season flew by.I dont know why but the time goes fast.

I love watching the winners get the Cup.Its like the defining moment of each players life and We get to see it.The raw emotion and joy is hard to contain.You cant get much better than that.I hope the Penguins win so We get 1 MORE GAME.

Answer 7

It's not as exciting as seeing it for the first time. The first championship I saw being won was when the Blue Jays won the 1992 World Series, that was pretty exciting for me at the time as I was only 9. And the first time I saw a Stanley Cup celebration is when Montreal won it in 1993. I remember it vividly. It was great.

Answer 8

i agree with the iceman.I really dont care for either team and now that the weather is nice-ive been busy as h**l doing stuff around the house.If the playoffs ended a month ago i wouldve watched it more,but i just dont have the time.

Answer 9

it would be their 11th cup.

I think the Penguins could push it to game 6 or even 7 though.  I wouldnt underestimate them.

It hasn't hit me yet unless you count that im yelling alot louder and much more obscenities at the referees.

EDIT: Gill can't touch the cup until he starts using his size more.  If you ask me, for his size he is a p***y.  He also can't skate very well.

Answer 10

Oh man...I despise the Dead Things and hope Sid and company step it up and get something started tonight.

Answer 11

Short season?  It's still going on!

Must suck to like a lame team!

Answer 12

To be perfectly honest, I'm not really excited.

I've enjoyed the games, but I really don't like either team invovlved. Usually I can find a reason to root for one or the other, but this year I've got nothing. I've got a softball game and a roller hockey game tonight so I probably will only catch it on Sportscenter. This playoffs me rooting for a team was the kiss of death.

I would have enjoyed seeing (my Rangers obviously), the Canadians, the Caps, the Sharks, the (gulp) Flyers, or the Stars take home the hardware more than either of these teams. Can't explain it, but I don't have that warm, excited feeling in my gut (that could be the lack of Whiskey). Oh well, enjoy watching your first celebration, my friend. The energy is intoxicating.

Answer 13

Yes ,I love the  Red Wings they have 10 championsships tonight will be 11 ....I dont miss any games ...and I live in Brazil

Answer 14

11th.

The season has seemed short, and I can count on one hand the number of games I've missed.

I am excited by the reality of my team being in, and doing well in the SCF - I didn't know about hockey in England, and moved here just after Detroit won the 2002 cup, but wouldn't have appreciated it then.  

Other years since I began to pay attention, it hasn't been quite the same once My Boys were eliminated, and last year after we were 'robbed' I just couldn't get behind either team.  After the presentation I couldn't help liking Teemu Selanne, he was sobbing so hard after trying so long to win.

Your avatar looks like a Leafs fan - glad you are still enjoying the atmosphere!

Go Wings.
