La Coupe Hauxer

A battle for hockey bragging rights through head to head competition between each of our favorite teams - Devils (Brad), Flyers (Wiley), Penguins (Sam), and Capitals (Fritz/William). The winner(s) gets the historic La Coupe Hauxer and the universal currency of respect/adminiration. The loser(s) gets the Stanley Screwdriver, the universal currency of humiliation and has to buy everyone dinner at the Vienna Inn. Game on!

Another Loss for the Flightless Birds!!!

Penguins cannot fly, cannot soar, cannot win. With the all-star break this weekend the Flyers go out on a high note with a 4-0 record with their fellow Commonwealthers from Pittsburg. This victory partnered with The Devils loss puts the Flyers in first place in the Atlantic Division. I am sure that once again the P-burg Gov. will say "we would have won if Crosby was playing" you can't put all your hopes and dreams onto the shoulder of one player, they will crumble faster than that sorry excuse for a rink y'all play in. So enjoy the All Star game fellas, I know I will.

Crazy game puts Caps back in third, Pengyunz back in last

Ah, sweet victory for the nation's Capitals. They went into the biggest dump in the NHL, came back a couple of times and beat a team even hotter than themselves. They even did it with a goaltender who only beats Pittsburgh 1/3 of the time he plays them and usually loses shootouts. The visitors even stopped a 5-3 power play in overtime!

Yesterday, the Pittsburgh governor was making excuses even before the puck was dropped:
So, I'll begin the excuse making now. Without Crosby, along with 3 of our better forwards and 2 defensemen out tonight with the injuries, the Caps have no one to blame if they can't finally beat my Pengyuns tonight. Prediction: Caps 4-1.
Wow, a Pittsburgh fan making excuses for losing, how shocking. Keep in mind the Capitals were also without their captain (again) and their #1 center (gone for the season), not too mention a couple of defensemen, but that isn't new, the Caps have been hurt all year, but aren't making excuses. They play to win and they have been because of tough guys like Quintin Laing, who blocked three shots in OT.

It is a good morning for those who were the red, white and blue.

Nation's Capitals 6 Pengyunz 5 (SO)

It's been a two point night!

Big Week for La Coupe

Well it seems that everyone is playing at least once this week, some of us twice. Its getting exciting, depending on how things go, this week could decide the rest of the pace for the season. I for one am hoping the Devils choke harder than Brett Farve did over the weekend. But lets stay tuned.

Victory, oh it does taste so sweet.

Yesterday The boys from Broad Street took a little trip to our nation's capital to see if the Capitals have really improved, they did not. After The Caps jumped ahead with an early goal, the Flyers answered back with 4 unanswered goals of there own. Things got pretty tight towards the end as the Caps fought their way back to within 1 with a minute left in the game. The Caps prematurely pulled their goalie, making it a 6-4 win for the Flyers. Both Ambassadors from the Capitals were there to share in their defeat, and I was there to enjoy the glory. Can't wait for the next one.
