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!

One season ends as another begins

Would anyone be interested in doing the exact same thing as La Coupe Hauxer, but for baseball season. Of course we would have to come up with a new name and maybe a trophey. Since, baseball is more American than hockey, it would have to be really obnoxiously American, like, "This Bats for You". I'm just spit-balling here. Any takers?

Not dead yet!

Okay so the Flyers choked in fine Philadelphia style. I'm down, but not out. I may not win the damn cup, but I am NOT gonna get stuck with this frickin' screwdriver another year. SO watch out, here I come.

Champions!

Devils 5, Flyers 4




I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions
My friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Of the world

Pens Gov: I was for it before I was against it

Well, it is very interesting that the Pengyunz Governor has forgotten that the playoffs count in the La Coupe Hauxer standings. It is even more interesting given that he stands to gain from the playoffs more than he stands to lose. An odd time for a flip-flop, no?

Yes, Sam, we agreed over chili dogs and beer that the playoffs would count in La Coupe Hauxer standings.

Not so fast Brad

Playoffs. Games in the playoffs count. This is still wide open until teams are eliminated from the playoffs. NJ and Pittsburgh seem like locks for the playoffs right now and D.C. and Philly are still trying to get in. La Coupe may not be yours just yet.

Caps split season series with the Devils

Well, that was fun. Hey, Brad you can't win if you can't score!

Oh look, it's Marty Brodeur:



The Caps didn't help or hurt Brad winning La Coupe Hauxer this year. Will Pennsylvania rise to the challenge to wrest away his choke-hold on the historic Coupe? Do we even want Pennsylvania winning it? No!
