Rick and Zak Duke-It-Out For The Right To Hold My Cup


Teppo Numminen (27) blows this one by Roberto Luongo for a 3rd period goal.

Here we go to the Scottrade Center in St.Louis, Missouri for this Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals matchup between Zak's St.Louis Blues and Rick's Buffalo Sabres. Rick has pretty much mowed-down everyone else so far, and here he has a chance to win it all. Zak has been on-the-ropes before and has fought his way back. He'll be loking to do the same here. Let's go!


Paul Kariya (9) scores this goal just 13 seconds into regulation.

It didn't take long to get started here, as Paul Kariya score for St.Louis just 13 seconds in. Dany Heatley and Maxim Afinogenov would score within a minute of each other, to give the lead to Buffalo. Thomas Vanek would score to make it three-straight for the Sabres. Kariya would net his 2nd of the night (right before the period's end) to keep things close. And that's how the 1st would end, with Buffalo leading three to two.


Dany Heatley (15) burns this one through traffic to tie the game in the 1st period.

Holding true to their strategy of quick-scores, Daniel Briere would score to open the 2nd period, and tie the game (for St.Louis). But, that lead was to be short-lived, as Buffalo would score three-straight in this period. Tim Connolly would light-the-lamp twice, and Teppo Numminen would also add one to put the Sabres in-command with a six-three lead at the end of two.


Tim Connolly (19) scored a hattrick tonight, including this blaster past Luongo.

In the third period, the story was all Buffalo's defense. St.Louis would not score again, and Tim Connolly would hit another for the hattrick. THAT'S IT!!! The Sabres would flood the ice to celebrate Rick's 2nd Point Brewery Memorial Championship!


Dany Heatley recieves the Stanley Cup on behalf of the Buffalo Sabres.

Dany Heatley raises the Stanley Cup in victory.
