nice post and thanks for the links man

aaww damnit, tsn thing for march of the penguins is canada only….stupid mounties

this was a great post. i think 350,00 fans showed up. Anyway for all the people who think pens fans ride a bandwagon, let this fact sink in that was 25,000 more than the steelers parade. pittsburghers love their steelers. so that’s amazing. the greatest part is how overwelmed the players and coaches were at the number of fans. would made this more special their reaction to everything. I loved one of the signs that said Malkin MVP, for Most Valuable Parents, they’re adorable. Plus, a Superstar sign for Max, I think the fan told him to take if I read what she was saying correctly. it’s great to see the city full of energy with a super bowl and a stanley cup, produced by two young teams that’ll keep contending for more. Now, if we can get the buccos to win a title. Now, let’s not be selfish, over 500 will be start.

Also, I agree with Crosby snubbing some of the Wings. It’s ridiculous that is what people are talking about. He respect’s the games traditions as good as anyone. My biggest problem is with Kris Draper telling the reporter he should write that he said what Crosby did was classless.So he intentionally wanted to ruined want they were doing. That’s sour grapes if you ask me. Maybe we could ask Don Cherry and see what he says. Here’s a suggestion let the team who wins celebrate, then let them shake their opponents hands, afterwards bring media personnel on the ice when all of that is finished. that’ll avoid a problem like this. I believe Crosby is a target for criticism from everyone who chooses not to like him. Whether it’s voted by players as the biggest whiner, being named captain at his age, being the face of the league,being considered boring as opposed to Ovechkin, not showing up for an interview after the game 5 loss; when Lidstrom says it’s a responsibility like practice making Crosby look worse, getting cheers at Joe Louis Arena for coming off the ice injured during game 7 and now for “snubbing” the wings. He’s considered boring because of his maturity at 21, it surprises all of us seeing somebody that young act differently, that he has to be called boring. It’s pathetic. He makes misakes like we all do, when he does we forget because he is different or mature for his age, that he is 21. People talking about him disrespecting the wings just don’t like him, and that is cheap. He’s the best player, don’t be surprised if he remembers the cheers for getting hurt the next time he is in Joe Louis Arena, the choice words flyers fans had to say to him being interviewed after the clinching game 6 win this postseason, where Ovechkin would’ve have taunted them to say more Sid handled it like a pro for a young kid for Ovechkin whose 23, being considered the second best player behind Ovechkin when he plays the Caps and now this “issue” with handshakes. He’ll remember, he always does, great players remember the critics. Which should be scary for the rest of the league. Plus, the fact he’ll continue to be a better player, as will Malkin, Staal, Fleury, Talbot, Letang and etc.

Further to Zanstorm’s thought of what a Canucks’ victory parade would look like. This town went apeshit when the Whitecaps won Soccer Bowl in’79, can’t even imagine how insane things would be. I myself would probably drop on my ass, no matter where I was, cry like a baby, and wish my grandfather could have seen it.
