Congratulations to the Detroit Red Wings for winning Lord Stanley's Cup for 2008!!!
So another hockey season comes to an end. Wasn't a seven game final but it was an exciting six game series. Not that I got to watch any of it. Didn't get to see a lot of hockey this season living in Mississippi where they have no idea what ice is unless its in a mint julep.
That and the fact that the NHL decided to go with the little known Versus Network instead of the ESPN. Versus is a Comcast product and goes into fewer homes than does ESPN which I think every cable and satellite provider carry. What a way to grow your fan base...on a provider that is not seen in a lot of homes in the US. Or maybe this was all just a ploy to get more people to go to satellite and buy the NHL Center Ice package.
But it has been an interesting season. Starting off with the Philadelphia Flyers having 5 players suspended for stick work in the first month of the season. Then ending with a game 5 OT game that saw two of the silliest Goalie Interference penalties I have ever seen.
So put up the sticks and pucks for 3 months. But be ready for October when it will all start again.
