Stanley Cup Final: Red Wings vs Penguins Thread

[Apocalypse]

Bullshit, we're not playing all that great as of yet..something will change shortly.

 

[Ralnakor]

wut?

Lol, just giving ya crap.:sheep:

Wings got off to a great start for the first ten, but haven't been putting enough pressure on since then. Stuart has been more or less behind both of the first two and almost cost us a third. We gotta get something started here and soon.

9:44pm -- Marian Hossa is still a bum.

 

[Rudi]

Pittsburgh is going to blow this lead, mark it down...Fluery can't keep playing this well, he's a bum. Always on his ass

 

[tigstah]

uh oh...detroit just scored...6:07 left....

 

[Ralnakor]

Huge goal! Wings are right back in this with that one. The crowd's finally alive again.

[Ralnakor]

Well, good game by Pittsburgh. Almost tied it up there too.

 

[Apocalypse]

The Wings didn't deserve to win the game, other than prolly 10 minutes of the 3rd.

Fuck.
Oh well, lol, it'll prolly be the same matchup again next year.
I'd bet on it.

 

[Ralnakor]

Well, there's my one consolation. The crowd booing Bettman.

 

[Hasselbeck]

YES!!!!

Penguin Power! About the only thing this Avs fan can be happy about this year. lol.

 

[bluntside]

Great finish to a great series. I love a game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Malkin winning it?

Imo Fleury shoulda won it, with like 2 seconds left he blocked the tying goal by Lidstrom, otherwise it'd still be going on.

Fleury didn't have the numbers.

Malkin just posted the best playoff run outside of Gretzky and Lemieux. No brainer.

Congrats.

I just can't believe the Wings chose now to have their absolute worst game of the season. Unbelievable.

They were out played. Pittsburgh played much faster and out hustled the Wings to the lose pucks, won the pucks on the boards, and generated a lot more offense than the Wings for the majority of the game.

Detroit just couldn't get possession of the puck in the Penguins zone for the first two periods. They are a puck possession team and Pittsburgh played them perfectly by collapsing towards their net and behind their net and not allow the Wings to cycle the puck along the boards and back to the point.

The Wings are not a transition hockey team and time and time again you see guys like Datsyuk, Cleary, or Helm skating into the Penguins zone with the puck 1 vs 4. It really seemed like the Wings were just too slow for the Penguins tonight. On the other hand, the Penguins were able to utilize their speed to get scoring chances and generate some great offensive rushes into the Wings zone. The Wings simply could not control the puck in the Penguins zone, that is all there is to it.

LOL @ Detroit fans booing the Stanley Cup champions. What a bunch of sore losers. Your team wins 5 cups in 12 years and you boo when your team doesn't win.

I actually wanted Detroit to win the cup, too. I have respect for the Wings as a team and an organization, but what a bunch of sore ass fans. I hope they never win a cup again.

 

[Ralnakor]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Loving the Wings fans booing Bettman both times he was at the mic.

true, but, even though Malkin had a good series against us, and a really good playoff run, Fleury just won them the Cup.

Either way, both guys deserved and whatever else, but like i said, imo, Fleury shoulda won it.

Lol. No they were booing Bettman sir.

 

[Ralnakor]

Lol. No they were booing Bettman sir.

This. Tailback, there is no love whatsoever for Bettman in this city. You notice they stopped booing both when Malkin received the Conn Smythe and when Crosby received the Cup? They were booing Bettman.

 

[Tailback U]

Were they booing Bettman? I know he sucks, but why? Any specific reason other than he sucks at living?

 

[Bigpapa42]

Awesome to see the Penguins win. I have to respect the Red Wings, because they are the best-run team in hockey. But to see Crosby and Malkin get a Cup win at this point in their careers...
