Thank you, Sir Sav.

I would like to dedicate this win to Valmy. May he someday know the sweet taste of victory and be free of the bitter draught of defeat.

I will always have the Caps' Cup appearance of 1998. Oh how glorious it was

Yes, but as a Sharks fan you take your victories as they come. Even if they fall to the Blues they did really well this year.

Only thing that worries me is they'll probably lose Marleau, Thornton and Ward to retirement in the next couple of years. They've been great anchors for the younger more undisciplined players.

And glorious it was!

Atleast you remember a cup appearance. I don't remember 1993 at all.

The 1993 Montreal Stanley Cup riot occurred in Montreal after the Montreal Canadiens won their 24th Stanley Cup. People poured into the streets of the city and some began to commit acts of vandalism and violence while the Canadiens were celebrating inside the Montreal Forum.[11] In the epicentre of the riot on Saint Catherine Street, stores were looted and police cruisers were set ablaze. The riot caused $2.5 million in damage,[12] $3.7 million in 2016 dollars.[13]

At the high point of the riot 980 officers were dispatched and they made 115 arrests. The police reported 47 police cars damaged, 8 of those 47 cars were completely destroyed. Rioters were arrested after they broke windows, looted stores and set fires. Some of the rioters were suspected of planning to loot stores using the riot as a decoy. 168 were injured, including 49 police officers.[14]

Due to the Kings being the Canadiens' opponents, most of the Los Angeles news media, including the Los Angeles Times and the Daily News, also covered the riot; Times staff writer Helene Elliott was pressed into service as a news reporter minutes after the riot began.

Glorious, indeed.

3.7 millions damage in 2016 dollars? That riot reputation is totally unwarranted.

ITS HAPPENING

Today begins the finals between the SJ Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins.

It should be pointed out this is the first time two animal mascot teams have been in a finals against each other. It should also be noted there aren't a ton of animal based teams in the NHL.


Who do y'all have winning the series? Analysts favor the Sharks but we'll see.

I have to think it will be the Sharks.

Penguins.  in 7, by the skin of their teeth, but Penguins.

But, yeah, the Sharks are probably the better team.

1 down
Hopefully, it won't be the last.

Only saw a little part of 2nd & 3rd period.  Forces are pretty much equal.  Penguins have a stronger attack while Sharks have a much stronger defence able to aptly counter-attack.  Goalies seem to be on par.

Should be interesting
