We like to claim it here in Winnipeg with the "white out" but I have no idea if it really did originate here.  It was pretty awesome though.  15000 plus all in white shirts.  And loud, man, even Don Cherry said it was the loudest arena in the playoffs.  But remember, we don't deserve a team :'(

Which is good - I was afraid that the East series would go to 6 or 7 games (hopefully with the Lightning coming out on top) and that Calgary was going to sweep and be well rested...

With both series set to go at least 6 games - the fatigue factor should be less of an issue.

And we should get some exciting hockey over the next week.

How weird is it that the Road team has won the first 5 games.  Looks like the Flames are almost a lock

Finally!

O Canada makes a triumphant return to the Stanley Cup Finals after a ten-year absence.

Sweet... Props to a Canadian  team making it this far.  An appearance in the Finals should help Calgary's bottom line and strenghten their position finanacially as we may or may not head into the lock-out.

Besides, of all the Canadian teams in the NW division, I like Calgary best and Vancouver the least.  Sorry D, but the Oilers are in the middle.  Sure, they had 99, which goes a long way, but they have some sort of a magic hex on my beloved Wild.  So Calgary it is!

Go Leo!  Gophers Rule!

I forgot about Leopold being on the Flames too.  I'll be rooting big time for them, the Canada thing, the history (see a few pages back), they are in the Western Conference and I don't hate them yet

It really is too bad that the Wild aren't in with the Wings Blackhawks, Blues and Stars.  That was our old rivals and it would be better for the team to have to renew those but there have been some budding rivalries in the Northwest and the Flames aren't one of those teams yet.

Go Flyers! (Sorry KBZ ;))

Not necessary.  :)   Tampa's got that us against the world thing going on right now - and I think the team and the city like it that way.   I don't know if I can stand another game like game 5 though without throwing up...my stomach was in my chest the whole last 30 minutes.

Okay - is anyone watching this game or what???!  4-3 Bolts at the second intermission - and I'm about to have a heart attack...

Lots of hockey left to play...

I can barely take this.
