First off, congratulations John Paul! You’re the only Pittsburgh born, hardcore Pens fan I know. Last year you won the pool and Pittsburgh lost. This year you were out early but Pittsburgh won! Not bad! Haven’t seen you in years but I’m sure you’re as happy now as you were when we use to hang in 1991, 1992. Holy we’re old! It was great to see Lemieux lift the Cup again! Remember who won the Cup in 93 after the Pens in 92? Let’s hope it happens again! GO HABS GO!

Now onto the oldest FSL tournament and one of the hardest to win, NHL Playoffs…

STANLEY CUP FINALS

FABIO VS JEFF

It’s an all Hab Fan Final!

This is Fabio’s first Stanley Cup Final. He has made it to the final 4 three times before and on his 4^th try he has finally qualified for the Cup Finals.

Like Detroit and Pittsburgh this is Jeff’s second straight year in the Stanley Cup Final. He lost in the finals last year but has won the Cup in 2002 so knows what it takes to win. Jeff looks to become only the second FSL participant to win 2 Cups.

This should be a fantastic battle. Good luck to both of you!!!
