Was away this weekend, but certainly didn't miss the Flyers game Saturday. Hopefully they can wrap up the Eastern Conference at home tomorrow night.

I listened to most of the Hawks/Sharks game on the way home on XM. The Hawks radio guys are as big of homers as the Flyers TV guys!

Congrats to the Hawks for making the finals. Hopefully that's all of the congratulations headed their way this season.

And, FWIW, I have the same opinion of Byfuglien as Al. The first time he celebrated that way, I thought it was spontaneous and was fine with it. When he does it again and again, it tells me it's choreographed and he is showboating. Some may like it, but I do not...after the first time. Hopefully the Flyers will advance and Pronger gets the chance to matchup against him in the Finals.

Radio Homers are OK with me, even local affiliate, or regional FSN broadcasters being Homers is OK.

Its the national guys, like Pierre MacGuire and that fat guy...Milbury who piss me off. I know they sometimes have to play the part for their schtick, but I can't stand either of them.

Joe Benninatti too. I used to love Doc Emrich, but even he gets on my nerves now

Lets not forget that celebrating in hockey is nothing new....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUx7Y...eature=related
Its part of the game.


For good measure

Yes, spontaneous celebration is, and should be, part of the game. Over the top and scripted celebrations that become a shtick shouldn't be, IMO.

I watched the video you linked and only 4 or 5 seemed scripted or over the top. If, for example, Uwe Krupp did a backflip after scoring the Stanley Cup winning goal in 3OT, I'd have no problem with it. If he did it several times, or when it wasn't nearly as big, I would. Same reasons Chad "Ochocinco's" antics bother people.

But don't listen to me, all sorts of stupid stuff bugs me ...I used to not like it when players wore non traditional numbers (99, 88, 87, 77, 68, 66, etc.). It has become so common place now it doesn't matter anymore, but when the trend first started I thought it was selfish in some weird way (probably just to me! )

First, congrats to San Jose for a great season, one step closer, pretty much like the Hawks were last year. Marleau was awesome, and McLelland is a class act all the way.

Duncan Keith loses 4 (or 7, depending on who you listen to) teeth after getting hit in the mouth with the puck...and misses maybe two shifts. Gotta love hockey players.

Dustin Byfuglien scores his third game winning goal of the series....a great story, I am happy for the kid.

P.S....my ears are still ringing....the loudest I have ever heard the United Center. It will be even louder later this week.
