"Bow to the burgh, pittsburgh penguins, stanley cup champions!! SORRY KATE..."

i know i wrote early on that i wouldnt be blogging about much other than bikes, bike trips, bike news, bike porn if i ever get it sophie, and pretty much bikess bikes bikes, well its time for a much other.... thats "maxime talbot" holding the 2009 "stanley cup ", i have two real passions in the sports world, which is the world i live in and if you know me very well at all you know i am addicted to "ESPN", anyway, my two things, bikes and HOCKEY ! max scored two goals in game seven of the finals and the "PENS" won the cup on detroit ice, ive been a hockey fan for 20 years or more and my team has always been the "pittsburgh penguins", and how cool is is that a talbot plays for the pens and wins the final game ? while i was with the french girls i found out that the talbot name is popular in france and quebec, i thought it was english but shows what i know...

the pens won back to back cups in the 90's so it was a stretch between titles, there have been some tough seasons, as of late though those tough seasons have payed off well, a number of top draft picks including two #1's ( in fluery and crosby) have transformed this talented group of youngsters, combined with a few savey veterans into a potential dynasty !!!

it broke my heart to watch detroit skate the cup around the ice in pittsburgh last year after winning in 6 games, as it did countless numbers of pens fans, what retribution to return the favour this year, who knows we may be doing this again next year... hey hossa, do you feel like an idiot or what ?

hockey is such a great sport, no holds bared aggressive brutality, please NHL never take that away, if you dont like the fighting and the true nature of the sport, just dont be a fan, leave, dont try to change it , just leave it alone...

thats "mulkin" winning the mvp trophy for the whole playoffs i believe, or maybe its just the finals, i cant remember, hes one of the best players in the league and hes 21 years old, crosby is 22, and fluery is 24, man things look good for us "PENS" fans for the next minute or two, fuck yeah, GO PENS !!!!

p.s. kate send me some pics and i will blog you girl, i met kate on the moab trip, shes a redwings fan, we mixed it up at woodys tavern, shes cool, i had fun...
