1. Nice pics. Did you happen to catch that incredible save Bulin made with

about 5 min to go in the 3rd that prevented the Flames from tying the game? I'd love to see a clear high res shot of that, if anyone has it.

4. Yeah, I saw it

He made a couple of great saves. Unfortunately watching the game and trying to get great action shots at the same time is hard to do. It was for me anyway. Sorry.

5. Wow! Fantastic pics!

I've been watching hockey for over 30 years now and I still get chills and goosebumps when the Cup is hoisted.

Like most kids who grew up around Boston during the 70's I dreamed of lifting the Cup all the time,pretending to be Orr or Espo.I'll never get that chance but I'll live it vicariously every damn year when they carry that Cup around :)


Congrats to Tampa and thier fans!

7. Thanks

My seats were a couple of rows directly in front of the press box where Espo was. All the fans around there were chanting his name until he would stand up and wave. We just wanted to thank the man who helped bring hockey to Tampa. You could see it in his face, he was very proud of the boys last night.

6. It doesn't get any better than this.

Reagan dies and the Lightning win all in the span of a few days. Life is good.

8. Am I the only one...

who finds the lack of pseudo-Christian God-talk (ala Kurt Warner) in the NHL locker room interviews refreshing?

I have never heard an NHL player say "It was the Lord's will...I have to give all glory and honour to Him..."

9. Hallelujah !!!

I too am thankful for that .;)
