I love my team!

I was incredibly bummed when my Pittsburgh Penguins lost in six games to the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals in June.  Tonight, the two teams met for the first time since Game 6.  The Penguins scored first, which is always a good thing in hockey, but Detroit stormed back.  At one point, the Wings had a 5-2 lead on the Pens.  However, my boys battled back to within one goal, then pulled their goaltender with time winding down.  They scored with the extra attacker on the ice to send the game into overtime, tied at six goals apiece.  Then, Pittsburgh won it in OT!  Wow!  That is an amazing comeback, and I'm so excited and proud of them! 

Any other hockey fans on my flist?  If not, what's your favorite sport?

I'm from Detroit and enjoy hockey, but I don't follow it obsessively. :P That's a pretty sweet comeback, though!

Oh, if you're a Wings fan, you probably didn't appreciate the "sweet" comeback. *grins* Michigan is a big hockey state! The Wings, and then several NCAA teams--good ones, too.

LOL... I'm from Alabama, so take a wild guess as to what I'm into.


WAR EAGLE!

O.o

Um, NASCAR? I don't know...Football?

Hmm... NASCAR was a good guess, but EW. I can't stand it.

Football was the correct answer. I'm an Auburn fan myself, and it gets crazy down here when there's a major game coming up.

Hockey is best watched live so you can appreciate the speed of the game. *nods*
