Penguins And Lakers New Champions

Since it is well worth mentioning, there were two major championships handed out this weekend.  The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup defeating the defending champion Detriot Redwings in 7 games.  I love this story because it was great to see the best hockey player in the world get his first Stanley Cup, and continue to keep his young career off to a bang.  Sid the Kid is amazing and I wonder how much longer they will call him Sid the Kid.  But I watched the whole game, it was fast paced.  And it was simply amazing.  There were a couple of tense moments near the end of the game, like Detriot scoring a goal and making it a one goal game.  And then a puck off the cross bar.  It was great though.

Now last night there were was a boring game last night in the NBA, actually it wasn’t quite bad, but I don’t like Kobe Bryant.  He may be good, but he isn’t that good.  He isn’t Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, or even Lebron James.  One guy that I have come to like out of it all is Dwight Howard. Man that guy can jump.  At the All Star Game a few months ago he set up at 12 foot basket and he dunked in it so easy he could have set up at 14 foot I’m sure.  So in case you have noticed the Lakers did win the NBA championship, and last night in LA, there were riots, and fires, and stolen goods.  It’s crazy how stupid people get.  So for now until 2010 when the Spurs win, I will end my recap of the worst final in recent memory (because the Lakers won, and I don’t like them. I would have given a better recap if it were the Orlando Magic, they would have deserved it).
