Come on everybody, what did you find hilarious over the past two days, there must be a collection of gems out there. For me, and I'm guessing DodgyRat too, as he was sittin right behind me, the funniest thing I have seen/heard not just during the week end, but virtually all season was during I believe the second period of the final. We were sitting in row B of block 6, perfect for calling out 'constructive criticism' to players and officials, and had been calling Dion for pretty much the whole game so far. Sitting in Row A, just to the front of us was what I can only describe as a sweet faced, grey haired Senior panthers fan, with her young grandson sitting by her side (you know who you are, you were sitting with the lady who got hit on the head by the puck - I hope she is ok, she looked a bit pale and shaken when she returned for the third) It all went quiet for a second, Dion skated past, and this lovely old lady just screams..... 'Darling, you FAGGOTT!' The face I made? - Almost fell off me chair! ;D On another note, great to see Dave Whistle strutting his funky stuff in the playoff 'village' around midnight Sunday - shame some of the other coaches/players couldn't follow his example.

oh, me again...
Was anyone in the castle straight after the final sunday night?!
The cardiff/manchester/belfast fans were all in there......they started so many anti-steeler songs.
I think we made any steeler fans, in the castle at the time, feel nice and welcome ;D

During the demonstration by the U10s before Sundays final....
Dave Simms was watching from the away bench and obviously enjoying it.
His smile was getting broader by the minute.... you could see the what was going through his mind.....
"Hey, I never realised Brits could play hockey!"
Sorry Dave - couldn't resist it! ;D
He certainly enjoyed the display as much as the rest of us though and full marks to him for coming out to watch them.

I'm the grandaughter of this "lovely old lady" and the daughter of the lady who got hit with the puck. The little boy is the old ladies great grandson. Confused yet? My mum thanks you for asking and says she is fine apart from looking like she has done 5 rounds with Mike Tyson, her eye is a lovely shade of purple. She has been going for 24 years and it's the first time she has ever been hit by the puck so its not bad going but she wishes she had bet on it now.
My grandma says going for this long (also 24 years) she now knows her faggots from her faggots and she might look like a sweet old lady but some of the stuff she has shouted over the years (mainly at Sheffield players and refs) would prove otherwise.
By the way she had hung her flag on the railing directly behind wigwam but left it there at the end of the match, if anyone found it we would be grateful if they could keep it until next season.

Mikko coming into the penalty box on saturday night for the 3rd time and commenting on he`d got his hat trick. You had to be there...but then with 6000+ people it would have been rather crowded in the box..lol

Yeah, Bolibruck falling flat on his face out of the box was a good one. Seeing a Steeler fan walking around in an afro wig was funny, but I was puzzled as to what he was trying to say. Did he not realise we wear them wigs in honour of our Johnny or had he actually realised that Craighead is a damn fine player (by British standards that is, before someone starts putting up pointless NHL non-stats as on another thread).

there were loads of things that cracked me up that weekend; -the irish man talking to me through the grand national ahd me in fits of laughter (couldn't understand half of waht he was saying) -Bollibruck falling over a few times (especially out of the penalty box) -the amount of times the refs fell over -me accidently doing the mexican wave when it was round the other side of the arena, i saw it over there and just went with the flow -The litte girl in front off us going mad and shouting "kill the ballon, kill it, its steelers", cause we set off a big green balloon with 60:53 written on it......she didn't listen top us shouting, "leave it, its ironic".....ah well! - Also a little Belfast fan blowing his horn with us and a few more Panthers fans, then trying to hide behind every car from us!

Demon slinking out in his pretend Panther top from the Belfast block before the end of the final...and being waved goodbye by the Giants 'Shinedog Collective'...we over in Block 11 and the Shinedog Collective were peeing ourselves waiting for his 'grown up' reply...and it came... Not very good at picking teams to 'support' eh Demon?
Listening to the song 'you're not singing anymore being sung to us...till the irony of the fact that you were not actually playing us sank in and the looks on the faces of everybody NOT actually a Steeler or Panthers fan that heard it happening!!! ;D ;D
