2016 NHL Playoffs
Quote: odiousgambitSomebody needs to re-do "Damn Yankees" instead as "Damn Penguins"!!
I'd watch it.
GWoAE, you need to DVR your games. You live on the East coast, dude. And the bonus is, you get to skip the commercials.
Disclaimer: I know, some people have to many friends calling them during the game. I have also been told that for some folks if the immediacy is lost, they just can't handle the idea. Lastly, there is the problem of accidentally hearing the outcome - that one is a problem for me too. However, I am hooked on DVR for sports
I like watching it live. In last nights case it was fun to text and chat back and forth with people while things were going on. For a regular season game I will record it and fast forward but not for playoffs. If there is a 2 goal lead then I put it on double speed and watch it that way. For the playoffs I am watching every second and listening to every commentary and sometimes I even rewind to see something I may have missed.
The Black Aces came through for a couple games against the Ducks, but can't do it for a whole series.

That is definitely a lol.
But I dunno, GWAE, your Pens went 37 minutes without a SOG. Tighter goaltending from Nashville and they lose that game.
Could be an interesting series.

The good thing for the Pens are they almost lost that lead. They are going to make adjustments as if they lost the game. My prediction is 40 shots next game.
Edit: Oh by the way... Ref You Suck!!
Quote: GWAEUmmm wtf. I hope it is pens in 5 since I have game 5 tickets
I give you the real PEKKA RINNE!! Talk about overrated...
I'm pretty sure that's what Subban was telling Crosby.

I'm pretty sure that's what Subban was telling Crosby.
I'm pretty sure he nor any Pittsburgh Penguin players or fans gives a s--t what Subban says tonight!! Congratulations to back to back Stanley Cups Pittsburgh Penguins!!
Wish it would have been the Caps back to back, and it easily could have been IMO. The playoff format has done has done WAS no favors the last 2 seasons. As much as I dislike the Kid (and the Pens) he is one very special player that makes all those around him much, much better.
Bring on the draft and go Vegas Golden Knights.
Almost got to touch the cup again when Sid walked by, missed us by about 8 people.

I wonder how many people know that it's a fake/replica and the original cup/bowl, along with another replica, is in the HoF.

Doesn't matter. When the cup was downtown LV years ago I got some pictures with it. Fake cup or real doesn't matter. The point is the Pittsburgh Penguins won it the last two years in a row and that Russian on the Capitals can't even make the final!! I find it hard to believe in this fake world that is basically all lies that they would allow the real cup to travel around and let players bathe babies in it and throw it in swimming pools. Most likely someone stole the original cup long ago and sold it to some private collector but once again the real issue is that the Penguins are the champs again and that isn't going to change no matter what!!

Real cup or fake really doesn't matter since this is the 3rd or 4th version anyways. If the real cup was stolen and this is the fake one then it would make the fake one the real one anyways.
I got to touch the cup in 09 and last year. 09 I wasnt supposed to touch it and got yelled at but who cares. They had all the trophies at the local science center for viewing only but they ad the ropes like 18 inches from the table. Of course i was going to touch it. Last year malkin walked by me and let us touch it. No such thing this year. Now they are jinxed.

What's the point of this rant? I didn't give 2 $h!t$ who won or lost.

Quote: boymimboThe Cup that travels is very real and is cared for by one person, Phil Pritchard, since 1988. He is always with the cup when it is not at the Hockey Hall of Fame and is one very famous Canadian. And yes, you can drink from it, swim with it, and party with it, provided that you won the cup.
The replica cup stands in for the real cup at the hall of fame when the real cup is being used.
I couldn't find out how many total rings there would be on the cup if they put all of them on. The quote from the Wikipedia article below suggests only one band is missing but I'm not sure it isn't more than one.
Since 1958, the Cup has undergone several minor alterations. The original collar and bowl were too brittle, and were replaced in 1963 and 1969, respectively. The modern one-piece Cup design was introduced in 1958, when the old barrel was replaced with a five-band barrel, each of which could contain 13 winning teams.[58] Although the bands were originally designed to fill up during the Cup's centennial year, the names of the 1965 Montreal Canadiens were engraved over a larger area than allotted and thus there are 12 teams on that band instead of 13.[59] When the bands were all filled in 1991, the top band of the large barrel was preserved in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and a new blank band was added to the bottom so the Stanley Cup would not grow further.
If you're a fan, the HoF is a must.
I couldn't see who had the cup though so know I gotta figure that out. Fun times in a city with a stanley cup.
I wonder what the odds of actually driving by a random place and passing it within the 20 seconds it took to walk from door to car to see the cup.
At first my wife didnt think it was the cup because the person put it into their front seat. She figured it would be in the case and in the trunk. I confirmed it was the real one on betos pizza instagram.
Quote: GWAESo we are driving up banksville Rd which is a 4 lane business district. My wife yells at me and points saying look that person has the stanley cup. They were walking out of Betos pizza. I did a quick u turn and flew to them. He was putting the cup in the front seat of his Bentley convertible so we just missed it. I decided to follow him, well him and an SUV which I presume was the cup keeper. I followed him for about 15 minutes until they were going to a high traffic area and I didn't want to get stuck in th traffic since we actually had somewhere to be.

@keeperofthecup documents that the cup was in Pittsburgh today and it was at a number of pizza places, hockey rinks, etc today. There was even a twitter picture of someone with the cup in their car today and another facebook post of a photographer with the cup in their vehicle.
