Dee, I have no choice but to care, as the Boy (who took the afternoon off from work) and I are glued to the TV. I'm not allowed to make a peep unless Detroit scores.
You Michigan people, I swear.

The most I can sincerely say that I like hockey is while watching the movie Slap Shot. That said, and I doubt that it will happen, Let's Go Pens!

It used to take only eight wins to win the Stanley Cup, so that is where the octopus is significant.
What a great game! I have no stake in either team, except to say I hate Detroit and not a huge fan of Pittsburgh either. However, I love me some great hockey! What fun to watch!

Thanks for the octopus heads up, I didn't get that at all.
Since you aren't really rooting for other team, I'll ask you: did you think NBC's coverage leaned pro-Detroit and anti-Pittsburgh? I'm just curious as to what an innocent bystander (lol) has to say.

Yes actually I do! I was schooled by my BIL. It goes back to when 8 wins were needed to win the Cup. Octopus= 8 legs. Two brothers who owned a fish market in Detriot just threw one on the ice one night back in to 1950s to symbolize just that. The Wings one the Cup that year (I forget the exact year) and from then on it is considered a good luck charm. I think it's name became Al for the arena manager. Al is now purple and lives in the rafters of Joe Louis.
Crap I just now saw that someone beat me to this! Oh well. That was a looooong game. My BIL didn't even make it to work because he was so tired.
