Softball or Stanley Cup?
Great win for the softball team tonight. Enjoyed watching it.
I'm curious: will you be watching:
- Softball game.
- Stanley cup.
- Both.
- Neither.
I'll actually be watching neither to start, because of my son's little league game. However, as a Blackhawks fan, the Stanley Cup trumps women's softball for me.
I'm kind of curious how much the Stanley Cup has interest for non-Blackhawks non-Tampa Bay folks, both hockey and non-hockey fans. I know there are many, many Red Wings fans here on the board, who will either watch to see someone beat the Blackhawks, or not watch at all. Obviously, the Stanley Cup has limited interest for many on the board, but I'd love to hear who is actually watching it outside of Chicago fans.
As far as softball goes, I have the good fortune of living in Oklahoma City and have already bought my ticket to tomorrow's game.
Eat Pizza.
Make sure you've swallowed your pizza first before cheering loud, because spraying bits of chewed food onto the spectator in front of you is just rude.
multiple times.
I love the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but it's game one and I don't like either team. No brainer, softball.
I'm trying to decide which team I like least to know who to root against. But I certainly won't be watching even a minute of Tampa and Chicago.
I'm definitely going for Tampa. Even though they ousted the Wings this year I like how they play and I like Cooper and obviously Yzerman. Plus, they aren't Chicago, whose only redeeming players for me are Kane and Saad from the Team USA connection.
I did think about this a couple days ago, as a Wings fan we pretty do much have something against every team in the league (and most have something against us), even moreso after moving to the East.
I can check in on the cup afterwards and if it's a game, I'll watch the end. If not, I'll be glad I saved my time.
That's what picture-in-picture is for. I don't want to miss either game so I'll be watching both.

Live. That's what 5 kids, soccer and Tee Ball do to you. Thank God for my DVR!!!! Yeah, that's why i "get to" post at, like, MIDNIGHT!!! Oh, well, it is a time all to myself...ah...yes...

I've got a terrible crush on Sweet.
Yup. Been my fav for a few years now.
This has been exciting, and a lot of fun. The Cup can wait.

nothing more intense than the Stanley Cup Finals... so of course I'll be watching the softball game. Can't miss watching a Michigan team capture a National Championship. Plus the Blackhawks suck.
Who the hell wastes their time to watch the Tampa Bay Lightning? About as exciting as the Milwaukee Bucks.
Well, no, the Tampa Bay Lightning are actually good.

Yeah, the Lightning suck this year. Did they even get into the playoffs?

I have to agree that with Michigan playing in the deciding and final game, that's the way to go. Plus, you can DVR the Stanley Cup and watch virtually all of it, skipping through commercials.
In terms of watching pleasure, apart from rooting interests, I definitely love Hockey. I can watch and enjoy good football, and good hockey, regardless of the team. I like basketball too, but not quite as much. Rooting interests come in more. As for the rest, I've yet to want to spend a lot of time watching baseball, softball, soccer, auto racing, Lacrosse, and others.
The Wolverines trump all pro sports.

Just because Detroit was eliminated doesn't mean I won't watch.
Wanted the Rangers to make it after Detroit was bounced so I could go to the final games, oh well. Playoff hockey is so great. Will for sure check to see if the girls won though.
is the ONLY competition that matters tomorrow night.
Hockey is the best sport ever. Hand eye coordination of baseball, agility of basketball, physicality of football. All on ice. With few teeth.
I hope Blackhawks lose even though I am jealous of the players they have. Go Wings.

It's game one, of at least four, and the softball game might finish before the game's over anyway. I love hockey as well, probably my favorite sport, but with how far Michigan is in the tournament I definitely don't mind missing a playoff game.
I'd only watch another championship sporting event over ours if it was the Red Wings, Tigers, Pistons, or Lions in the postseason and if it was Michigan football/basketball I'm watching our game regardless.
Softball and flip during commercials. I would do this even if the Red Wings where in it.
Softball. No contest. Huge Wings fan here.
Go Blue. That is all.
But M softball is the priority and I'll only flip away during commercial breaks.
I've been down in Tampa for a while now and it's fairly easy to root for the Lightning if the result doesn't affect the Wings. Stamkos is an amazing talent (although people seem to think he's an asshole), I work with a few great fans and Yzerman was a childhood hero.
It also helps to view the Lightning job as an audition for Yzerman, so I want them to finish second in the east every year and for Canada to win all of the silvers.
Softball for sure. I gave up on pro hockey after the second lockout, but unless the Red Wings were playing, I'd choose softball anyway. If the Red Wings were in the finals, I'd have softball on one tv and the Red Wings on another.
Is this a real question? Even if the Wings were in the SC, it would still be SOFTBALL!
