We're Goin' Dancin' With Lord Stanley



Well I'll be cow kicked, the Steel City juggernaut known as the Pittsburgh Penguins are once again going to the Stanley Cup! The Pens sent the Filthadelphia Flyers to an early tee time by destroying them 6-0 yesterday afternoon. It will take them years of self loathing and intense group therapy to recover from this monumental ass whooping.

By the way, that's $24 paid on a $20 bet on blowdog, I now not worry from where those next 6 gallons of gas are coming.



The Black and Gold simply looks unstoppable. They've got three bona fide superstars in Sydney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Marion Hossa. Those three alone have combined to score 59 points in only 14 playoff games (22 goals, 37 assists). With support from Ryan Malone, Jordan Stahl, Peter Sykora, and a defense that is suffocating the opposition, the Penguins are a complete team playing a complete game. In the rare occassion that the front 5 allow anyone near the net, 3rd year goalie Marc Andre Fleury has been damn near unbeatable with a Goals Against Average of 1.70 and a save percentage of almost 94%. And the icing on the cake is George Laroque. He isn't the fastest skater or the best puck handler but he beats the shit out of people.



The Pens are 11/10 to win the cup, I got 'em 4 weeks ago at 7/2. Click below and it'll explain the title.

$50 says they lose to either Dallas or Detroit.

Detroit has home ice...

I will let you buy out for $25 now. After Detroit is up 2-0 the offer goes away.

Now they are up 2-0, as I said.

Now the whole $50 is on the line. Just remember, I gave you a chance to buy out cheaper.

In all seriousness, The wings are up 3-1 and game 5 is tonight, I would not make this bet next year. Once this team learns how to play together they will be even better next year.

I know it's not over yet but it doesn't look good for them. Down 3-1 with 2 games in hockeytown?

They will likely win 4 of the next 10 or so..anyway however many games are left, they should be great.

Wow, raise your hand if you thought that goal was going in as time was running out.(my hand is raised).

Still a greta series and now, or soon, I will be $50 richer.

Thanks Wings!

Kinda funny how a city in the US can be called hockey town made up of canooks. Go figure.
