poltr1Just 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?

Date: 2008-05-21 02:38 am (UTC)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.
