    hmmm, me thinks the OLD farts are going to tire.
  2. Sean O'Reilly from Canada writes: Its the stanley cup final Tom. The wings have had 5 days off, and in between the three rounds had a sweep.

    They ain't getting tired d.a. Age at this point has nothing to do with it.
  3. Tom Sawyer from Canada writes: Baloney...yes, game one they can skate but their age will catch up to them. I guarantee all of them are much sorer and stiffer this morning than the Penguins. Old guys get worn down.
  4. Sean O'Reilly from Canada writes: Tom, I know when it will catch up with them. When they are hoisting that cup for the 4th time in the last 11 years.

    Truth is Tom, you would love to have your favorite team look as good as the wings do year in and year out. So to feel better you keep floating this lame arguement that the wings are ''old.''

    Tell me from their play, what makes them old? How does their style have their age catch up with them when they are the ones throwing the big hits, crashing the net and scoring the only goals in the game.

    Provide me with some fact, instead of theory and I may give you some credit.

    This is the finals, age has nothing to do with it!

    Go wings!
