Kings Win Stanley's Cup!

Congratulations to the LA Kings for their incredible run to hoist Stanley Roper's Cup! (If you loved him in Three's Company you should check out Twelve Angry Men. Awesome film! But not quite as 'wacky')

The Stanley Cup, the most respected trophy in sports.

Plus you gotta love Dustin Brown dropping an F-Bomb on NBC:

That what you get for interviewing a guy who adrenalin level is pegged at 11( it's one higher you know).

Happy Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Go get that prostate checked! NOW!

And, for a limited time only,
we promise they won't use a ball glove.

State of Origin 2 lived up to our vast expectations. NSW broke a four match losing streak to down the Maroons 18-8 to even this year's series. The decider is set for July 6th, same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel.

Origin and Stanley Cup game 7 make for a happy Pengo

Speaking of Game 7, WOW! Tim Thomas just established the upper bar for how great a goalie can be in the finals. That performance will live in hockey history. And LuBrono? He may never recover (a lot like the reputation of the city of Vancouver. Most people thought it would be the ugly Americans tearing up Boston, nope. It was 'dem rascally Canadians).

The only Boston violence we noticed was at the Sky Sox game when a couple of Red Sox fans destroyed a chair in an on-field promotion. See the evidence below:

"Now cracks a noble heart.

Good-night, sweet prince plastic chair;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

The Boston hooligans

and the object of their spleen

Why couldn't they just pound on the mascot. You know, that worthless ba#tard who keeps ruining PengoSports' shots!

Something's happening on the other side of that leg

Stay out of my G#d-dammed shots or we're shipping you off to Vancouver with that G*d-dammed Finklestein sh%t kid! Son of a...

SWEET! Just SWEET!

Tonight! Well, Wednesday at 3:30 am, Queensland vs New South Wales at ANZ Stadium in Sydney in State of Origin 2! Set ye alarms ye scabs! Origin is here!

This Pirate Dude at the ballgame,

we guess, is an Origin fan

A huge PengoSports shout out to Russell Crowe, actor and the owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs (PengoSports team of choice in the world of the National Rugby League), we Americans can now watch the State of Origin matches AND the NRL Grand Final, LIVE on Fox Soccer Channel (Comcast 125 in the 719).

Never experienced Origin? All we can say is WOW! If there is a more intense sporting spectacle PengoSports has not stumbled across it. Imagine the Super Bowl, World Series and NBA Finals rolled into the awesomeness of the Stanley Cup Finals plus a couple of monkey knife fights tossed in for good measure!

Origin game time 4:00 am, pre-game at 3:30 am. The Grand Final is on October 2nd. Pre-game to start at 330 am Mountain Time. Huzzah to Mr. Crowe! Huzzah indeed!

Thank you Mr. Crowe. Thank you.

And then, and then! Later Wednesday night, GAME 7. Boston. Vancouver. Hate. Cheap shots. A sieve. A stone wall. Punks. Greatness. The Stanley Cup will be awarded. What a series! What a playoffs! What a great sport is the hockey! PLUS! We guarantee a Lebron-Free experience (although is Luongo plays like he's in Boston he will become the Lebron of Canada).

GAME 7!

Rave on. Rave. On.

Did He Touch It?

Do you touch the conference championship trophy or just let it be. Hockey tradition suggests leave it be. It is not what you are after. You only want the big cup and if you touch the little one a curse falls upon your house. Two years ago Pens captain Sydney Crosby kept his hands to himself and Pittsburgh got bounced by the Wings (who's captain Nick Lidstrom did not touchy his trophy as well). Last year Syd touched, lifted and paraded the thing around the ice and the Penguins went on to beat the Wings (who again did not touch theirs). So what did our two new contestants do this year?

Touching the "Trophy" brought the good Cap'n a lovely lady!

On Saturday for the Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews it was just let it be. Toews acted like the Campbell Trophy was a bag-o-super-fresh-sh*t and got the hell away from it as fast as possible. Tradition served.

Flyers' captain Mike Richards picked up the Prince of Wales Trophy and skated off to the locker room like he stole it. Tradition? Ha! Take that!

So is it good luck? Bad luck? Or just a fu*kin' trophy and it will all depend on the talent and effort of the teams the play for the Stanley Cup? We'll know in a couple of weeks.

So girls? I see your answer is to "touch" the trophy.

Now it is Chicago v Philadelphia. Flyers against the Blackhawks. The Windy City and the city of Brotherly Love. Corruption Midwest style or Corruption East Coast style. A green river on St. Pats or Booing Santa Claus at Christmas. PengoSports sez, "Go Hawks!"

Old Time Hockey! (and Crappy Basketball)

Stanley Cup playoffs or NBA playoffs. Which are better? Come on. Do you even have to think about it? The Flyers heart or the Cavs lack of anything close to that? Montreal battling from an 8th seed to the conference finals, or all the losing teams in the NBA playoffs mailing in a result? Grit, courage, toughness and fire, or 112-71 blowouts? Your choice. I'm not saying there is a wrong answer, but if you answer NBA your tickets for the ice capades are waiting for you at will call. Oh, and your panties are showing.

Now for your viewing enjoyment, an couple of clips to demonstrate the difference:

In the first video Toronto's Darcy Tucker pretty much destroys Philadelphia's Sami Kapanen about 7 minutes into overtime of game 6 in the 2004 Eastern Conference semi finals. Did Kamanen stay down? Call for the trainer? Quit? Hell no he didn't! He somehow wobbled, weaved and flopped himself back to the Flyers bench, keeping the play alive, and Philadelphia scored a couple of rushes later to clinch the series on the road. Wow! I will say it again, WOW!

The second video is the extended version with the hit, the post hit action and the goal. The action part runs from 2:37-3:25. The Flyers total respect and awe for Kapanen runs from 3:48-4:27. WOW! Just fricken WOW!

And to defend the NBA? Mr. Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics, coming back from the dead, to do whatever the f*#k he thought he would do. Did Pierce think he would pull another Willis Reed? Well first you have to be injured. I mean really injured, like a torn thigh muscle injured. Then you have to show some balls and come out and try to play, sink your only two shots, and leave the floor as a legend. Paul Pierce, I watched Willis Reed, I respected Willis Reed, Willis Reed was a man. Mr. Pierce, you're no Willis Reed.

Now watch the craptasticness.
