Just as I (almost) predicted. The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Philadelphia Flyers in 5 games. The Detroit Red Wings defeated the Dallas Stars in 6 games.

(There's a good topic for Outburst: Other words to use instead of "beat" when referring to winning sports competitions.)

The Stanley Cup finals -- another 7-game series -- begins on Saturday. My head says the Red Wings will win it; my heart says the Penguins will win it. This will go for either 6 or 7 games.

Unreladed and tangential anecdote: What if Microsoft and Sun were to take their battles to the hockey rink?

It's rather embarrassing, but I'm going to have to cheer for the Detroit Dead Things this year.

I'm prejudiced - Original Six All The Way!

Plush Cthulhu?

How's this? My wife got it for me at FilKONtario in the auction. Or rather someone else saw her bidding on it for me, bought it, and gave it to her. He sits on my shoulder while I'm surfing the net.

Uh oh - I'm in trouble

Smoooom, my darling wife is threatening me with bodily harm because she thinks Penguins are cute. She doesn't understand that it's not real penguins, it's smelly athletes wearing jerseys with cartoon penguins on the front. Guess I sleep on the couch tonight.

Pittsburgh Penguins...Right colors, wrong team. Actually I don't mind spreading the love around. As long as it's neither Montreal nor some Sun Belt team, I'm cool with it. My parents are big Wings fans, so I'm probably about 60/40 toward Detroit.
