I Want Stanley!

Well, it's just about game time for the Red Wings in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.

I'm not a huge sports fan, I need to know the teams that are playing in order to enjoy watching the game. I of course watch Notre Dame Football but in terms of pro sports, I enjoy watching the Detroit teams (Red Wings, Pistons and even the Tigers...can't do the Lions though).

I remember our 8th grade graduation dance. It was the night of one of the Red Wings Stanley Cup games and a lot of the girls were mad because all of the boys were in the cafeteria watching the game instead of dancing. The Wings went on to win the cup in 1997, their first Stanley Cup since 1955!

Monday night was game 5 of this series against Pittsburgh and the Wings were up 3 games to 1. The game was at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit and was the perfect place for them to win the cup. Again, I'm not a huge sports fan, but this was a big and exciting game so I had to watch. The Wings played well and went from being down 0-2 to being very close to a win with a score of 3-2. Everyone thought the Wings had the game in the bag, but with just 34 seconds left in the game Pittsburgh scored to send the game into overtime. I ended up going to bed at 12:15am after the second overtime and Pittsburgh won the game in the third overtime! UGH!

I'm hoping the Wings win tonight. Let's just cross our fingers that it's not in the 3rd overtime!
