Stars fans cheer Guerin as he hoists Cup
June 12th, 2009 by BradBill Guerin hoisting the Stanley Cup on Joe Louis ice. Sounds like something I dreamt up in 2005 (That’s right, in this fantasy the Red Wings are in the Eastern conference and the Stars won game 7. Try to keep up); But it came true in a manner tonight as the Penguins slayed the dragon and got the girl. The sexy, silver, 35 lb girl.
Although he’s done it before, I was elated to see Guerin with the cup and his big beard. He wasn’t with us for a long time, but he’s one of the most likable guys in the league and I have a lot of respect for him. He still has a house here if I’m not mistaken (or did last year, anyway; Perhaps because he can’t sell it). He calls in to the local radio station from time to time and I imagine he’ll be doing so in the days to come.
Some might say his relationship with that Bob and Dan radio show endears him to the Stars fan more than his lacking performance in a Stars uniform did. I won’t argue. Congratulations, Billy. We were pulling for you.
Parting shots as the season ends:
-If allowing 5 goals (game 5) at the Joe is on the path to winning the Stanley Cup, sign Marty Turco up, baby!
-Boy, they were really letting Bettman have it good…
-Max Talbot, you can play on my team any day, my friend.
-Kronwall, Franzen and Holmstrom: You guys should open some kind of “how to commit blatant penalties without getting caught” summer camp. That kind of knowledge is priceless.
-Marion Hossa: It was yours, man. It was on your stick so many times in the Finals and you did nothing. What are you going to do now? I bet all that money makes it hurt less. Choker.
-Did Boucher meet any of the requirements to get his name on the Cup? He played in game 6, right?
That was a hell of a post-season, but the off-season and the moves the Stars need cannot come soon enough for their fans. Bring it on.

NOTHING could have made me prouder than to see Billy with that cup, except possibly seeing Sydor with it as well. I so hope that Bouch will get his name on it as well and I wish that he could have gone on the ice for one shift last night.
Seeing Billy with the cup will always remind me of how much I dislike Armstrong and how he was starting to bury the Stars with some of his inept moves. Yes, I know there will be those that remind me how Armstrong signed this one or that one but Les Jackson recruited them. Armstrong sat in a big chair and handed a pen to them.
Anyway, this is not about Armstrong but about Billy and the rest of his dragon slayers. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PENGUINS!!! It was a thing of beauty to watch them take the Wings down at the Joe in front of the Wings fans. A job well done.
