Yeah they were! Swimming in fountains, holding the cup on rooftops, etc. Was a great time!

Congrats to them, they worked hard for it!

The espn commercial they resurrected and replayed is funny on many levels.

Ive always been amazed at how "underrated" the NHL has been compared to other major sports.

Truly is an awesome sport played by absolute warriors of athletes. Same cannot be said for any other sport besides NFL and they play once a week 16 games VS 82 in the NHL regular season. Hardest trophy in all of pro sports to win.

Warriors for sure...

Anyone at the Parade?

Saw the TV coverage briefly and it looked kind of tame. Players and crowd seem very subdued. Is everyone still hungover from celebrating this weekend?

My mom and stepdad went, they said it was awesome. RMNB has a couple of clips posted; Ovi dropped an F-bomb but as far as I'm concerned he earned the right to it.

Hey, I'm going through some tough times right now, you need to lighten up.

I'm used to having good long summers. I have drawers full of Penguin attire that I'm not allowed to wear until October now...

Poser. I wore one of my Vikings shirts just last weekend. The weekend before I went to dinner in a Dodgers jersey.

Naw dude, you can definitely wear that this summer. Pens have three Stanley Cups inside of a decade, two of which were back to back. That is an incredible feat to be proud of.

Ralph335 · 06-14-2018, 09:49 AM

Wear it. Support your team.
I wear my Flyers gear even though your Pens stomped them. The orange Flyers gear does fit in here in Baltimore though now that everyone is wearing O's shirts & hats.

I'm just now sobering up. Was a fun parade, but the after... oh man!

sspade · 06-15-2018, 09:09 PM

Kind of a big deal.

ShopVac · 06-16-2018, 10:03 PM

Saw that, was a big deal...Pens were hard on getting Domi (Lemieux and his dad are buds). Guess we couldn't give Arizona what they wanted. Can't help but think Arizona screwed up here...

Ralph335 · 06-18-2018, 07:06 AM

Montreal loses another trade.

Draft coming up Friday right? Curious to see what happens. Sounds like it's a crapshoot after picks 1 & 2.

It's tough being a Habs fan. I liked AG27 but defensive skills escape him.

Add this to the list of questionable trades in the past year or so: Drouin-Sergachev, Weber-Subban, Andrighetto-Martinsen

ShopVac · 06-18-2018, 08:33 AM

Agree that you were on the trailing side of those last 3 trades...I'm thinking you guys are on top of this last one. Outside opinion...

Yea after all those trades, Bergevin has to be on the hot seat right?

sspade · 06-18-2018, 02:41 PM

Surprised to see the Capitals head coach quit... right after winning the cup!

Wonder what the back story is here...
