Check out these awesome shots of Super Mario congratulating Sid the Kid on Sunday's big win. You can almost see the torch passing between them:

The Saint looks at Le Magnifique with such respect (as well he should!).

I had a thought... If anyone reading this is a Red Wings blogger, I'd be willing to make a friendly bet - just shoot me an email and I'll tell you my idea. :)

I've got a few things from some of our Friends of The Show: First up, Anthony S. made a wallpaper for us. He made it a while ago, but I held onto it so I wouldn't jinx anything. ;)

Michelle B. sent in some links for us:

• Sid got to the Stanley Cup finals faster than Wayne Gretzky and Super Mario
• Sid's dominating the playoffs

Michelle and Lexie101 were both lucky enough to be at Sunday's win over the Flyers. Here's what Michelle saw:





And here is the view Lexie enjoyed:

Lexie saw these rainbows (click to enlarge - you'll see that it's a double rainbow) just before the game. She said that she thought it was a good sign for the Pens. Obviously she was right! :)

SNOOP = JEALOUS! Thanks so much to Anthony, Michelle, and Lexie for today's goodies. :)

The countdown to Game 1 is officially on. Four more wins to make it a reality.



GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
