Thank you, non-Devils fans, for not rubbing it in about the Devils' impending Stanley Cup demise. It would have been nicer for the Devils to win, Brodeur be named MVP, and then decide to retire ... rather than the Devils collapse and Brodeur come back and rust away for 1-2-3 more years before hanging it up.
Seeing Ithacan Dustin Brown's play for LA makes you wonder what the Big Red would have been like if he'd spent a year or two at Cornell. NCAA title? Cornell single season record for NHL-style hard hits and college style penalty minutes?

Seeing Ithacan Dustin Brown's play for LA doesn't make me wonder what the Big Red would have been like if he'd spent a year or two at Cornell any more than seeing Claude Giroux's play for Philadelphia makes me wonder what the Big Red would have been like if he'd spent a year or two at Cornell - or any other player who made it clear from early on that he wasn't going to play college hockey, for that matter. Not everybody wants to play college hockey, not everybody would benefit from playing college hockey, and the moment Dustin decided at age fifteen that he was going to play Canadian major juniors, he closed the door on college hockey.

I'd only feel like rubbing it in if a)my team hadn't lost to your team and b)The Kings winning the cup hadn't been completely inevitable since they swept St. Louis. Simply put they're not a real 8 seed. They're 32-7-2 since the Jeff Carter trade, and since the deadline, they've been the best puck possession team in hockey, meaning this isn't a fluke. Add in that Johnathan Quick is far and away the best goalie on the planet and of course they were going to win the cup.billhoward

Not a Cornell Alum, but one of the ECAC and also very sad news from NHL.com:
Former Clarkson player Bryan Rufenach died while traveling in Switzerland.

meaning this isn't a fluke.
At this point, I don't see how anyone could reasonably think otherwise. A fluke can get an undeserving team a series, maybe two. It can't get them one win from the Cup with only two losses in the postseason.
Anyway, while we're thanking each other for not rubbing painful things in... thanks to all the non-Bruins fans who could have very easily pointed out that they've been saying for years that Tim Thomas is a schmuck.

We can't really rub it in. Since there are no Kings fans here (I think), your team made it farther than all of ours. In fact, there's probably a pretty large contingent of Flyers and Rangers fans on eLynah, meaning you're the one with the ability to rub things in.

I take it as an example of what the Flyers could have done for the poast few years if they only had a real goalie.
I'm glad for Richie and Carts. Better them than the Devils.

To be honest, I have no idea if this is typical Philly fan behavior or not. It just seemed like it was an appropriate thing to say about a city with one championship in the last 40 years. However, my point still stands. By calling the Kings "Flyers West," they're claiming credit for the (probable) Kings championship.

1 Championship in the last 40 years is not even close to on the mark. 40 years back from 2012 goes back to 1972. If you had said one championship in the last 27 you'd be correct, but its still more titles than the team you abandoned has won. Seriously though, good for Gagne and Hextall. Both deserve a cup. Just wish Terry MUrray's firing had worked out this well for us. And on that note congrats to Lidstrom on a classy career, even if it did include being the primary reason for my first childhood sporting disappointment.jtn27

Ben Scrivens and his Toronto Marlies just lost a heart-breaker in game three of the Calder Cup finals. Nursing a 0-0 tie in OT, a puck thrown into the Marlies zone bounced off a stanchion and into the goal while Scrivens was waiting behind the net. Picture the Lynah zamboni door bounce of days gone by.....
The Marlies are now down 3 games to none in that series..... What a way to lose a key game at home!!!

As a Philly fan, I would say it comes down to "Why the hell couldn't they do that when they were here?" or "Look at all the good players (insert team name here)'s management traded away." It is in no way taking credit for their success.

Ben looked great when I caught the third period. It was on CBS Sports (as previously mentioned on eLynah). The cable guide did not show this and may not show hockey for the fourth game on Saturday. The broadcast was from the Leaf TV Network and therefore was more focused on the Marlies.

It's been noted that the goal should have been disallowed. It was a delayed offsides and you can't score a goal on a shot on goal from the shoot-in. Definitely heartbreaking and a bad call.

1 Championship in the last 40 years is not even close to on the mark. 40 years back from 2012 goes back to 1972. If you had said one championship in the last 27 you'd be correct, but its still more titles than the team you abandoned has won. Seriously though, good for Gagne and Hextall. Both deserve a cup. Just wish Terry MUrray's firing had worked out this well for us. And on that note congrats to Lidstrom on a classy career, even if it did include being the primary reason for my first childhood sporting disappointment.
My mistake. I meant 30 years. I forgot that the 76ers won in 1983 (well, more accurately, I just didn't know since I don't care about the NBA).
I am not a Flyers fan but the Flyers did win the Stanley Cup in 1974 and 1975, so there are two others that Philadelphia can claim in that span as well. The second was against my team.

To be honest, I have no idea if this is typical Philly fan behavior or not. It just seemed like it was an appropriate thing to say about a city with one championship in the last 40 years.
css228 and I were operating under the assumption, that I believe to be correct still, that jtn27 was counting the 2008 World Series win as Philadelphia's "one championship in the last 40 years."

Not to mention the Phillies won in 1980. So in the time span you originally said, you only underestimated by 400%.Aaron M. Griffin

At least the AHL owned up to the officiating mistake.
“We have spoken with Toronto Marlies management and confirmed that a rules interpretation error by the on-ice officials occurred on the Norfolk Admirals’ overtime goal during Game 3 of the Calder Cup Finals.
“On the play, a dump-in from center ice by a Norfolk player caromed off a stanchion and into the Toronto net. The correct application of AHL Rule 83.4 would have negated the Norfolk goal due to a delayed offside call.
“As AHL By-Laws do not allow for any change to the final result of a game based on an incorrect rule interpretation, the result of the game stands.”

That is correct. However, as I mentioned earlier, I meant to write "one championship in the last 30 years." I'm not sure why I wrote "40."

Why did he transfer to UVM? Is it possible there were behavioral issues at Cornell too?

My recollection of Milo's rumored behavior and attitude at Cornell seem to be consistent with what seems to have happened at Vermont.

So sue Schafer, too, but maybe he should sue Schaefer while he's at it.

I thought a decent part of Milo's transferring was that he wanted to play baseball as well, and Schafer didn't want him to.

In fairness, A) Philly did win a championship not that long ago, and B) "can't win a championship, so claim someone else's" sounds a lot more like what Boston fans did when the Avalanche won the Cup with Bourque in 2001 than what I've heard Flyers fans doing now.jtn27

Thank you, non-Devils fans, for not rubbing it in about the Devils' impending Stanley Cup demise.
We can't really rub it in. Since there are no Kings fans here (I think), your team made it farther than all of ours. In fact, there's probably a pretty large contingent of Flyers and Rangers fans on eLynah, meaning you're the one with the ability to rub things in.

To be honest, I have no idea if this is typical Philly fan behavior or not. It just seemed like it was an appropriate thing to say about a city with one championship in the last 40 years. However, my point still stands. By calling the Kings "Flyers West," they're claiming credit for the (probable) Kings championship.

It's funny you say that. I remember a friend of mine coming into school one day after watching a Bruins/Flyers game the night before and telling me Hextall had taken a slapshot right to the boys. He said later in the broadcast they showed a seriously dented metal cup. Everything is plastic now, so someone can confirm if this was possible and if goalies actually did use metal back in the mid 80's.
