Cup Crazy 2003

Devils / ducks : Devils Lead 2 - 0

----------------

End of a Legacy

Well guys, this year's playoffs come to a close for this Hockey Fan... With a four game sweep of the Detroit Red Wings and a soft burst of air, the time for celebration and hope has ended. The cup will of course move on to some other team, most likely in a city entirely undeserving of it's legacy and history, but at this point little matters.

I expect to read in tomorrow's papers about riots and looting in the great city of Detroit in the following, unavoidable, mass hysteria which follows this type of loss...but I suppose it serves to show us one thing... Even if your entire team sucks, you can still win a series on Goaltending alone.

It was fun while it lasted guys, there is always next year.

Congrats to the Ottawa Senators and Dallas Stars on their winning of their respective divisions...

But now with that all said and done...

So What.

The real season begins now. Yes boys and girls, it's playoff time where every game truly does count...

From the East, we have the President Trophy winning Ottawa Senator's leading the attack against the powerhouses of the West...

It all about the LEAFS .. they aren't as injury plagued as they were last year .. last year Roberts, Corson, Sundin, Reichel, Renberg, and 6 other starters were out and they went all the ways to the Conference Semi's .. this year they are all back in Fine form .. theres a few injuryed leafs .. Nolan, Wesley, Housley, Gilmour .. but all these guys are all new guys and they'll be back anytime now .. so they will be much stronger than they were last year .. and with a Eddie kicking more ass then Cujo who was a major let down last playoffs, we are looking on bringing the Cup where it belongs .. In Toronto .. Stanley Cup #14 ... here we come !!!! :cool:

To set the mood for the playoffs, allow me to post an all time arena favorite!

The Good Ole Hockey Game

Hello out there we're on the air, it's hockey night tonight

The whistle blows & the tension grows and the puck goes down the ice

The goalie jumps and the players bump & the fans all goes insane

Someone roars the Red Wings score at the good old hockey game

Chorus

Oh the good old hockey game is the best game you can name

And the best name you can name is the good old hockey game

2nd Period

Where players dance with skates that flash the home team trails behind

But they grab the puck & go bursting up & they're down across the line

They storm the creese like bumble bees they travel like a burning flame

We see them slide the puck inside it's a one one hockey game

Chorus

Oh the good old hockey game is the best game you can name

And the best name you can name is the good old hockey game

3rd Period ... Last game of the playoffs too!

Oh take me where those hockey players face off down the rink

And the Stanley cup is all filled up for the champs who win the drink

Now the final flick of a hockey stick and one gigantic scream

The puck is in the Red Wings win the good old hockey game

Chorus

Oh the good old hockey game is the best game you can name

And the best name you can name is the good old hockey game

Oh the good old hockey game is the best game you can name

And the best name you can name is the good old hockey game

Heads up... He shoots he scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all enjoyed it. ;) You didn't have to listen to me sing it out while I was typing either! ;)

Edit: Of course, when the Wings are the home team the song changes just a bit. ;)

To all of those who said Ottawa in the Finals .. thas beautiful scene having a Candian Team in the Final .. ur wish will be granted .. it won't be Ottawa they will be knocked out in the 2nd round by the team that has kicked them outta of how many playoffs in a row now .. its 4 now isn't it .. i'm losing count its happened so many times .. poor Sens .. they worked so hard too ... oh well ..and all you Detriot Pushers .. CUJO SUCKS!!! .. he hasn't had a good playoffs since the Edmonton days .. this coming from a guy who has seen him play in TO for the last 5 years .. you need a goalie with Experience .. a goalie who makes a habit of coming up big in the playoffs .. someone like Brodeur .. or Eddie the Freakin Eagle!!! ... and Nucks .. they would make it far .. they have a good hardworking team .. but the thing is they are a one line team .. that line is shut down its over .. personally i don't think they will be shutdown .. but they goaltending blows .. so they will only go as far as there goalie can support them

Finals:

Toronto vs. Detriot/Dallas .. this all depends on Marty Turko .. but either way TO will be waiting

I'd love to see a Detroit / Toronto Match-up. My two favorite NHL teams. ;)

Detroit will win of course.

As for Eddie "I like to get drunk and beat up cops" Belfour, he's ok but just wait til after his 'We're in the play-offs celebration' He will be so drunk he'll end up getting into some trouble. Has happened every year for so many years.

Extra credit to the first team to knock out Turco. ;) Without him, Dallas will betray their wet and squishy noodle side. :spell:

As for Eddie "I like to get drunk and beat up cops" Belfour, he's ok but just wait til after his 'We're in the play-offs celebration'  He will be so drunk he'll end up getting into some trouble.  Has happened every year for so many years.

Don't u worry he's sober .. after the cup win he can go buck wild .. and we'll give him all the beer he wants for free ... bring on the billion dollar bribes eddie .. we goin to the Promised Land .. Lord Stanley's Cup is OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
