For those of you that do not know the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup last night. Congrats to both teams for their accomplishments and play. Tho, Detroit came out in the first two games shutting out the 'guins and leading the series 2-0 Pittsburgh was not ready give up. They came back in game three and won. Detroit won game 4 in Pittsburgh and went back home thinking they'd seal the deal in Game 5 on Monday. They were winning 3-2 with the less then a minute left to go. The crowd was cheering and I think the players were thinking about lifting the cup above their head. Pittsburgh would have nothing to do with it. With about 30 seconds left they scored to send the game into overtime. Overtime it was. Three of them!! I didn't invest all those nights watching the games to miss the trophy being awarded so yes I stayed up. About 10 minutes into the third OT Pittsburgh scored sending the series to game 6. About 1 in morning and I'm heading to bed. OUCH!!! Needless to say Tuesday at work I was a bit slow. Last night the 'guins almost did it again. With a couple of minutes left and the score 3-1 they score on the power play. With seconds left Hossa sends the puck through the blue paint, but that is all it did. Never did it cross the line and time ran out. Detroit wins 3-2.
Thanks to all of you who voted in the poll. Some 65 of you... how cool is that to have some fun? Voters picked Pittsburgh, but it was close. Who did you vote for? Did you pick correctly?

I did pick correctly, although it was a fluke. I know what a downer it is when it's over D. I feel that way about football. Can't wait for the next season to start and hate to see it end. Hugs, Joyce
