Thank You Sweden! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I know there's several Swedish folk who haunt the boards, and I'd like to thank them on behalf of the Detroit Red Wings, for whom your fine country has sent such great hockey players as Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, Kronwall, Samuelson, etc.

The Wings have posted their 2nd straight shutout of the Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-0 tonight in the Stanley Cup Finals (which has happened at the start of a series only 4 times in Cup history). Phenomenal! I've been watching the Wings since the days of Gordie Howe (ummm...late in his career), and I think this is the best Wings team I've ever seen.

Sorry for all the gushing and effusiveness, but I guess this would be comparable to the Manchester United vs Chelsea match for you Brits.

Not sure which forum area this should've gone in, so I apologize in advance.
