End of Season

It's a sad day, and the Princess just isn't talking about one Marian Hossa.

Sid, Evgeni, and Marc Andre are walking around with the cup.

And will some one explain to the Princess when did Maxime Talbot get into the mix?

Two goals in the 7th game, who knew?

And the princess ain't mad atcha Mario for busting out the playoff beard.

You can take the playa out of hockey, but you can't take the hockey out of the playa.

Remember last year when everybody, including the princess was on Evgeni's case cuz he said he was "tired"?

This year, I still ain't mad atcha!

You've earned the right to be tired, Geno.

Go home and have some of that "special soup" that your mama makes just for you.

You're gonna need it because every Russian and his mama are coming to see you.

Some of them might even claim to be your relative from St. Petersburg that you didn't even know you had.

as for you "experts" giving all this talk about how tired the Red Wings looked, and how old they're getting, please, stop the madness.

The Penguins were ready this time.

None of that , "Gosh darn we're so happy to be here. Look, there's Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsuk. Aint that Chriis Chellios? Is he really 46 years old?"

Speaking of Chelly, yeah he's coming back.

What's he gonna do, stay at home with the boys?

Newsflash. The "boys" are playing hockey, too.

If Mike Modano can come back for year numero 20, then Chelly can come back for year 27.

Speaking of coming back, this is it for the princess for this year, hockey folks.

It's been great, even if I didn't get my wish for an Original Six Stanley Cup final.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!
