Yep, that's the guy...holy crap that guy was a MONSTER. You place a corner properly and there are only two things fighting to make contact with the ball first - the keepers hands or Koller's cranium. Nobody else had a chance.

Oh man, you should definitely check it out! I bet you'll really enjoy it....Kurt Russell does a fantastic job.

Exactly....I have a VERY vague memory of watching that when I was growing up, so to see the whole story in a film was fascinating to me. Awesome flick!

lol, dude I'm READY! I get off work at 6pm, and my bday is saturday, so you can bet your ass that the Flyers are going to have a NICE BIG BDAY PRESENT in store for the Z-man!!!

You know who I'm talking about though? He was deadly on set pieces....friggin monster.

lol...did you know much about the coach and all the happenings with the USOC before the games? I was fascinated by the whole story

Bobby Clarke learned his lesson from before,when we'd go up against teams that would skate around us in circles, and all our big oafs were helpless against teams like Detroit back when we faced them in the Finals. We've got a more balanced team now that matches up better against a wider variety of opponents, and on top of that we're HUNGRY!!! No more curse of Willie Penn...PHILLY IN DA HOUSE!!!!!!

I can't believe I'm the only one who said "Miracle", especially given all the hockey elitists around here.... BTW,if you guys want a family-oriented, Christian-themed sports movie that is very touching, check out Facing the Giants....I usually find Christian music and movies kinda cheesy, but this was actually really good.

Was that big bald mofo playing up front for the Czechs? That guy was dominant last WC

Well ****, 3 of our 4 wins last series were SHUTOUTS....we're bringin' some of that shiit to Chi-town!

Dude, I"m not sure the 'hawks will even score a GOAL the way the Flyers are playing these days....muah ha ha!!!

LET'S GET IT ON!!!!

Well, two out of three ain't bad, right? I didn't know a damn thing about Les Canadiens, so I can't profess to have had an opinion as to whether the series would have been close or not, but I'm REALLY hoping that the Flyers show up for the third series in a row and put a severe hurtin' on the 'hawks.

Welcome to the club!

Wasn't the Flyers fault...they came to play

What were they supposed to do? Forfeit?

AMEN, my Erie brotha!! Flyers in SIX, BABY! What a great time in sports! Braves are winning, Flyers in the Stanley Cup Finals, and the World Cup on the horizon!

This is awesome....talk about a team with BALLS and HEART! Come on, boys....bring it home!

omg dude....lmfao

I hadn't really watched it in slow motion until just now, but wow, Milito had a SMALL ASSS window to put that ball through, just missing the last defender and the goalie's outstretched hand. Beautiful shot! Holy crap, we're so close to WC 2010....YEAH BABY!!!!

I was a big fan of Poison in the late 80s, but I honestly haven't seen or heard a thing that BM has done since that time. Watching this season, I really have gained a lot of respect for the guy. Kind of weird how he can maintain all his "rocker" cred, but still establish himself as a loving father, caring spokesperson and sufferer of diabetes, a good friend, and very creatively intelligent, too. He's found his way onto my "most interesting people" list for sure. congrats, Bret!

Dude, tell me you're not still using VHS lol

Right on, brother....a bold prediction, but wouldn't surprise me! Glad you mentioned Cowherd...I really enjoy his show. I have taken him to task a few times via email, cause I think some of his views on big market vs. small market teams are just elitist and completely contrary to the concept of "sport", but the guy is VERY well thought out and VERY interesting. You get the sense that he's not some talking head singing the corporate mantra or toeing the company line. The guy tells is as he sees it, and I dig that.

You've sort of hit on my own view of the end. It's weird, cause I read the comments from John Adams and I remember how I felt just two weeks ago where I had issues with all the same points he brings up. From time to time when I log onto Facebook, I get a friend request from someone I went to high school with. Now the funny thing is that it almost doesn't really matter if we were good friends or just acquaintances, if we traveled in the same circle or different, liked each other or didnt like each other, etc. No matter the circumstances of the past, I almost inevitably feel really happy to see them and hear from them. The circumstances of our relationship (or lack thereof) in high school were completely irrelevant. What mattered most is that we were both THERE, that we both shared a common experience, and that now we were reuniting after twenty years. The significance was our common experience...that's what mattered most and that's what led to my feeling of happiness to see them today. I think this is exactly why even though I very recently had many of the same issues that John Adams has today, this last episode was so beautifully done and it took me to a place where, just like seeing a classmate after 20 years, the circumstances just didn't matter. The shared bond was a beautiful thing, and when you reunite with someone after so long, it's a very emotional thing. It was pretty clear that this finale wasn't some immediate segue from their lives on the island to the afterlife. For at least most of them, A LONG DAMN TIME had passed from the initial crash of the oceanic flight until the church reunion. When that happened, it's almost like it made the circumstances of the island irrelevant, or at least secondary, to their "awakenings" and the realization that it was the bond they established through the shared experience of the last six years (our time) that mattered most.

This was one of the few tv shows where I actually noticed how good the music was. Strings are one of the most emotionally evocative instruments on earth....great choice to include them in the soundtrack for this episode.
