And then they went to Washington and the streak ended.
Way to go Caps!

So, WJC is over and the other guys won. That was a heck of a game last night, a full credit goes to the American kids to keep coming back after falling behind by two goals twice.
Poor Dubois. I bet he's sick after flubbing that game winner in the last minutes of the third.
Shoot out is a terrible way to resolve a game.
One of the best games I've seen. Grats USA.

What do you mean "...and the other guys won." Gold medal worthy game from both sides, but just the fortitude and perseverance on Team USA's part to rally back down 2...TWICE! Boo-yah! Parsons stopping all five tiebreaker shots...W-H--A-A-A-A-A-A-T!
Parsons was huge, as was Hart. The little tap of respect as they passed each other just before the shoot out was classy.

Now that it's "official" that the Red Army won't be participating in post season play, yep, what a collapse. Maybe the new arena next year will help spark something, who knows.
I'll keep my eyes out on the forums for anybody doing a charity army project and you can make it right then.
Go Hawks!

I don't follow hockey but a co-worker does. And he keeps me in the loop for the real important things:
50% off at Papa Johns when the Capitals score 5 or more! This has been a pretty regular thing lately. Its somewhat gakky pizza, but at 50%, with a PJ across from my work, I've been wearing that place out.
Thanks Hockey!

Papa Johns at any price... I'm a pizza snob from Chicago, I can't help it. Go Hawks!

This was just a hell of a year for us.
Gordie Howe passes. Mike Illitch passes. Last season in the Joe, and our 25 year streak ends. When it rains, it pours. I also wouldn't be surprised this off season to hear news that Kronwall will retire.
On the bright side, we got some pretty solid performance out of AA and Mantha, two guys that we'll definitely be hitching our rebuild onto.

It's Ok, my Canucks FB feed was "happy" about such poor showings at the end of the year because by getting 2nd worst, we have a better shot at better draft status than the Vegas team.

4 or more and the Caps win. There's a similar deal with the Wizards. A friend of mine is a VP in Papa John's mid Atlantic corporate and he said they lost a lot of money in January... but he also said he was happy because a) local teams were doing well and b) it was *really* good for their drivers. Lots of tips!
C... a... p... s... Caps! Caps! Caps!

Found a charity project, PM incoming with details for you and Zach to sort out. I'm rooting for the Penguins at this point, but the Hawks folding the way they did left me not really giving a feth.

I am an incredibly drunk pens fan who has just opened this thread for the first time. This is my first time touching alcohol since my breakup(see my other thread about breakups) But yeah I dont know what we're talking about in this thread but go pens and as a side note go steelers in the next season! (Ps go pirates but they kinda suck)
I also posted this message in the wrong thread at first
I think the Pens just kinda survived this Cup. Which makes it sweeter somehow.
Feel bad about the disallowed goal, but the Predators had plenty of chances to tie it up, including a 5-on-3 PP, and didn't get it done. And somehow they finished the night without taking a single penalty. At some point you have to make yourself some luck.
