Calgary Flames: 1st Stanley Cup Finals berth
2005
“So, gentlemen… da CALGARY FLAMES… dey just won dere FIRST Western Conference title.”
“Yah, dey bent, but dey did not break. Kinda like da time I sat on my recliner after six deep dish pies—lotta strain, but she held up.”
“Da Wild? More like da Mild. Two nothin’ in da clincher! Flames take da series, 4-1. Now we got ourselves a Stanley Cup Final… Calgary Flames versus… da NEW YORK ISLANDERS.”
“Da what now?”
“Da Islanders. From Long Island. Ya know, like da Rangers’ weird cousins who live out by da bagel shops.”
“Ohhh, dose guys. Lemme tell ya, dat’s a matchup. Flames, dey’re hot. Islanders, dey’re… uh… islandy. But only one can hoist da Cup.”
“And lemme remind ya, Mila Grubin—series MVP! Hittin’ .474, four home runs, seven RBI. Guy’s basically Babe Ruth on skates. If he played for da Bears, we’d have ten more Super Bowls.”
“Correction—da Bears woulda had twenty more Super Bowls.”
“Agreed. But back to da hockey—Flames are marchin’ into history, Islanders standin’ in da way. Gentlemen, place your bets: Flames in six, Islanders in seven, or da Bears in four?”
“Da Bears.”
“DA BEARS!”
