Re: Do You Believe In Miracles...
I just read the story about Pronger picking up pucks. It's really against hockey etiquette to do that, very disrespectful, especially in the opposing team's house. Pronger says the puck "is trash" because they lost. I guess it's like how Cubs fans throw an opposing hitters home run ball back out onto the field? Being that the Flyers are going to lose the series, Pronger is probably gathering up pucks to sell on E-Bay. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
We'll see what happens now with the series 2-0, but the Blackhawks are always phenomenal on the road.
TV Ratings have been sky high for the Blackhawks. This series had the most viewers (nationally) since the 1999 Stanley Cup, and the opening game was watched by 12% more viewers than last year's Stanley Cup opener between Detroit and Pittsburgh. Here in Chicago, the Monday night game scored a remarkable 25.1 rating, with the next closest show garnering a 4.8 (a reality show).
I think when the Blackhawks wrap this up, Byfuglien should scoop up the last puck on the ice and give it to Pronger. It will be a nice memento of how the Flyers were swept. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
