New jersey wins the cup

[SlayerX]

Dun dun dun

New Jersey Devils Beat Anaheim Mighty Ducks 3-0 to win their 3rd Stanley Cup :( Poor Anaheim. J.S. Giguere won the Conn Smythe Trophy, but got booed out of the arena :P

What did all of you NHL fans think about the game? :D

[The Stryker]

*does the cabbagepach* go de-vils go de-vils go de-vils!

cans you tell who i rooted for?! :D :D

[XERO]

Guess there wil be no D4: The Mighty Ducks movie... :evil:

Devils cheated!!!!

[Mr. Snackpants]

yeah, the NJ fans showed a lot of class :roll:

[Peanut]

I'm not happy with it. I seriously hate the Devils. I'm glad to see Schawby with the cup though! :) I think it was pretty distasteful for the fans to boo JSG when he went up to except the Conn Smythe. Just another reason to dislike cities like NJ.

[XERO]

Well that will be the ONLY title NJ will win...

GO SPURS!!!! 8)

Corey Schwabb? (sp?) I dont think he gets his name on the cup tho, because he didnt play 25 games though? Does he still get a Stanley Cup ring? If I was him and I didn't get anythign but a team photo, i'd be raising hell :P

[The Defibrillator]

Wouldn't it be cool if the Nets won the NBA Finals too? Same state wins hockey and basketball championships! I wonder if that's ever happened before....

Hrm... I don't know what they teach you kids in Geography Class up there in "America Jr.", but New Jersey is a STATE, not a city. And yeah, a lot of us are jerks, but New Yorkers made us that way. They come down and pollute the Boardwalk every year, act like they own the whole state just because they're from "New Yawk", cause traffic accidents because it's a proven fact New Yorkers CAN'T DRIVE (how could they? Ever see the traffic in New York City? You can't learn how to actually drive, you're in a constant state of slowing down), and then squawk their superiority incessantly. PLUS, they claim ownership of the Statue of Liberty even though it's technically on Jersey's side of the water.

Maybe that explains why one of the state's biggest-selling souvenier shirts reads "Welcome to New Jersey... Now GO HOME."

As for the Cup, I was rooting for the Ducks this time ONLY because it would be so deliciously ironic for the Stanley Cup Champions to be named after an Emilio Estevez movie. :evilgrin: But hey, whenever NJ wins, it's not a BAD thing... it's a GOOD thing.

[SlayerX]

lmao, I thought that New Jersey was a city as well... But after you said that I remembered that it was a state :P

[Leo656]

Man, and here everyone talks about how "America Jr." has such a great educational system as compared to the USA. Meanwhile you guys get states and cities confused. :lol:

It wouldn't be so bad except I always hear Canadian people whining about how Americans don't know where places like Sasketoon or Calgary are. meanwhile, you guys are just as bad as we are! :lol:

Not only is NJ a state, but if I'm not mistaken we're the biggest pharmaceutical manufacturer in the U.S.

(Bill Murray voice) "Which is nice, y'know... we got that goin' for us..."

[JameO]

We got an American History class thats about it. We teach "Canadian Geography". I knew it was a state and yes they were being jerks to boo JSG just because their players didn't get it. JSG was great throughout the playoffs and I wished that Anahiem would have taken it in New Jersey but they didn't. Oh yeah and about Schwab I hope he got a playoff ring!

[Mars-Chan]

Ack...don't remind me who won. *runs off to the MDTAS board she's on to pout* :( :cry:
*Calls* I WANTED THE DUCKS TO WIN!!!! :cry: :tcry:

[Peanut]

Well I'm sorry to have offended you Leo. I don't know the US. I've never made fun of any American's not knowing anything about Canada because I know nothing about the US. It is true that most people from Canada do know quite a bit about the States though. I just assumed it was a city because I've never heard of a state getting a sports team. Also when I meant dislike the city, I didn't mean as a whole. I meant as a hockey community. The same goes for NY and Philly. There are some really bad fans in those stands. The only rude fan base in Canada I can think of is Montreal. They got some real losers over there, booing the US national anthem, which I thought was a complete disgrace. I still think it's ashame that we got bashed real bad when that happened and then when the Leafs went to Philly they booed our anthem and nothing was said about it.

[Leo656]

Actually you didn't offend me, I probably should have made that more clear. Sometimes I forget that just because I'm a smartass, that doesnt mean people interpret me as being less than serious. Heh.

It does bother me when people "dis" NJ, but only because I've lived here all my life and I have a fierce sense of state pride. But I don't try to take it on a personal level. No harm no foul, compadre.

States do often get sports teams. New York Giants (who play in New Jersey, which I don't get)... Florida Marlins. Colorado... something.... can't remember. But yeah it does happen. Oh, and the New Jersey Nets.

And a lot of Americans are rude, especially sports fans. Sometimes patriotism goes too far and just becomes boorish, rude behavior.

I make fun of Canada a lot but on the whole I dig 'em. Surprisingly, I think Montreal has good fans. Maybe because I'm a huge wrestling fan and Montreal is ALWAYS a hot crowd, they get into it like very few other places in the world. And a lot of the best professional wrestlers do come from Canada, so I got lots of love for good ol' "America Jr." :wink:

[Tokka-B]

Hahaha, rarely do I see a Canadian make a mistake like that, now that I do it is hilarious. I mean, our own President didn't know where the Pacific Ocean was on a map. Yes, so far my state won Hockey, now lets get Basketball title and hopefully Yankees will win it for baseball, and yes, I know they are NY...

[Peanut]

It's not really a mistake as much as I just made an assumption that states don't get teams. I'm among few that don't bother to learn anything about the US in geography. I know little about Canada as well so it evens out.

[Leo656]

And remember, when you make an assumption, you make an ass out of "u" and "umption". :D

At least you admit not really paying attention. I admit not knowing very much about Canada, but I also would have problems naming all 50 states and forget state capitals, don't even go there. So yeah, it all evens out.

But yes, as I said, quite a few states do get sports teams. I just have to go on record and say that "The Canadians" is the single most uninspired name for a sports team, EVER. (Is that Montreal, I can't remember?)

[Peanut]

Yeah. The Montreal Canadians. It is a pretty uninspired name, but at least it's better than The Mighty Ducks.

[Leo656]

Woah woah woah, how can anyone dis a team that was named after an Emilio Estevez movie? :o

[Kameko]

*clears her throat and points to her signature*

Oh, and Emilio Estevez is the greatest. :D

[Leo656]

LoL I like that :lol:

[Kameko]

Thank you. :D

Yeah that would be the Montreal Canadiens with an "e".

[Edit: Woah you typed pretty fast. I hit qoute and typed my response and within like 1 min there was 5 posts. I think it just I was reading and it was posted but it was pretty fast! I thought I was responding in the wrong thread :lol:]

[Peanut]

I'm not saying I don't like the team. They have to be one of the most talented teams around. Even their lower players like Patric Kjellberg and Stanislov(i think)Chistov are great players. It kind hurts to know that most fans don't even know who those two guys are. Anyways I like the team but they are the laughing stock of the NHL with a disney movie inspired name like that.

[Leo656]

Which is why I love the idea of them so much. They're barely even a real team, and they almost won the whole shebang. :lol:

Sorry about the "Canadians/Canadiens" mix-up. I thought that was the spelling but then I was like "what the heck is a CanadiEn?"

Well I was just trying to say that it was canadians since you were kind of asking if it was that in the post. Maybe becuase its a french place so they wanted to make it french? Thats what I think.

You gotta be kiddin, the "Mighty Ducks" is the best name in hockey

[Tokka-B]

Wrong, the Penguins is the best name in hockey.

[Peanut]

Yeah right. It's gotta be the Blue Jackets!

[SlayerX]

Avalanche all the way 8)
Maple Leafs second :)

[Stone Ill]

How did we go from NJ winning the cup to Canada vs. The Stinkhole below :lol: ? Just kidding.. :wink:

What's weird is a lot of the players in the NHL are Canadian..so, in a way, Canada won the cup! er..no..

And Canadiens is french..I can't quite see why they put it there but the H is for Habitons, which means to live or something..so I guess they are saying they live in Canada?

[Peanut]

Habitons is a soup! HAHA! I know that. It's called Habitons Pea Soup!
