Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT - Congratulations

ah, the stars.. those were the good ole days.. i was drinking coffee from my 1999 dallas stars stanley cup championship mug just this morning. although, i still think hull was in the crease on hasek!! of well, what ya gonna do??

it was nice to see sydor win another cup with tampa after the way he was run out of dallas. once hitchcock left, the mgmt just started axing people left and right.

i feel guilty, i only watched the last 3 games of the series, but those were some great games.

i cant wait to see the pistons stomp the crap out of the lakers again tonight. i dont really care for basketball, but i love to see the lakers get beat.

I don't know whether you are aware of it or not BigJohn, but the same owner controls both the Lightning and the Pistons. Who says money can't buy happiness?

i did not know that .. very interesting.. looks like that guy is having a good week.

i would love to be a relative of that guy.. get to go to the NHL finals and the NBA finals in the same week.. and get great seats to boot!!

he doesnt own an NFL tean, does he??

bigjohn

definetly a awesome series,edge of your seat till the very end of game 7,gotta love it--being that i am not a fan of either team,it was nice to see a 22 year veteran get his first cup....ron

Yeah, Bill Davidson, owns both the Lightning and the pistons. He also owns the Detroit Arena Fottball League team and the Detroit WNBA team. And according to Fortune, he's the richest man in Michigan, worth close to $2 billion.

Thanks..

As a Calgarian I'm happy for the team and for the city; even thou we lost. People still celebrated until 3am (Red Mile). This is probably the best series I've seen for a long time.

All I can say is lots of Parties and lots of Boobies..lol

I didn't really care who won and just wanted a good series. But as I was watching it last night and realized not only was Tampa going to win, but that Fedatenko was going to score their only goals, it just made things worse. First Philly trades him away (which looked like a good deal at the time and may still be depending on what Pitkanen becomes) then he helps beat us to get to the finals and win it. The Philly curse continues. Even Smarty Jones lost to top it all off.

Go Eagles! (Yes, I'm already writing off the Phillies of being able to have a shot to win at all...a trip to the playoffs at all would be a success for them).

Yea, Flames didn't come out that game...they look dog tired. They couldn't skate or pass. They only started playing last ten min. Oh well; they had a great run.

zarak-

so your an eagles fan, eh? you and me should have some fun conversations come football, cause i am a huge cowboys fan..DUH!!

your eagles get to come to the BIG D for a monday night football game this year. it will be the first MNF game in dallas in like 3-4 years. i got to go to the eagles-vs-cowboys game last year in texas stadium, and it was great.. we kicked some a$$, and had a good time..

funny story-- i had always heard all this stuff about how philly fans were the worse and they were loud, drunk, and beligerant. well, that is all true. in fact, there were LOTS of philly fans sitting in the section that i was in, and they were causing quite a ruckus.. but this was the funniest part.. they kept trying to pester dallas fans, and 'pick' fights, and just be crazy in general, but none of the dallas fans would take the bait.. so, by the 4th quarter, the philly fans are plenty liquored up, and losing the game, so they just started fighting each other.. it was the craziest thing i had ever seen. there were 3 fights just a few rows down in front of me, all the guys were wearing philly jerseys, and not a one cowboy fan stepped in to stop them. they finally had to get security to come take them out, and the whole section stood up and started cheering. it was the coolest thing i had seen in a long time.

so, all that stuff you have heard about philly fans, BELIEVE IT.. but they sure are fun to watch

Zarak,
seems pretty depressing but Pitkanen is going to be a superstar - no doubt about it. Unfortunately, with the age of the Flyers and the impending work stopage, most felt the Flyers chance was now. Has to be all the more heart breaking knowing that Fedotenko scored 6 against them in the Conference finals.
