United: Stanley and Sidney

O hey so Pittsburgh won the Cup. The Stanley Cup, in case you live under a rock that's not in Canada (incidentally, if you live under a Canadian rock, you still know what the Stanley Cup is).

Good job, it was nice to see 22 year old Sidney Crosby hoisting the Cup. It was the next best thing to a Canadian team actually winning. The best thing would have been if Montreal had won, since the last time they did, it was 1993, and while I was a miniature die hard Canadians fan, I can't remember it at all.

Didja know that Sid the Kid is the youngest captain to ever win the Stanley Cup?

He needs a new nickname. Don Cherry dubbed him Sid the Kid, but that can't last much longer, because our little prodigy is growing up. So I think his name should be "Sidney the Kidney." or "Sidney Bean the Kidney Bean." Though the latter might be a mouthful for the announcer to say whilst commentating the game.

  1. Are you still a Habs fan? It could be worse. You could have grown up a Blues fan like me. Let me take a moment to count all the Cups the Blues have won.

    Okay, done counting. It's still zero.

    And I propose that filthy-beard Crosby start going by "Bing" at all times.

    Death to the Red Wings HAHAHAHAHA HOSSA.

  2. Yes still a Habs fan. Contrary to popular belief, Canadians fans don't abandon their team when the going is rough. They "boooo" out of love.

    I do feel slightly sorry for Detroit (but not Hossa) though...the city now officially has absolutely nothign to live for.
