Stanley Cup Final: Red Wings vs Penguins Thread

[Apocalypse]

kk, come on Wings, let's get out to a fast start.

Boucher is a scratch for the Pens. Let's go guys!

The fight was entertaining.

Booooooooom.

Series over.

Unless Osgood gets killed

*knocks on wood*

Malkin beating Zett's ass was classic. Glad to see that boy has some fight in him. And those were not some bitch slaps, those were haymakers.

Did you find it funny that Malkin hit Zetterberg 3 times in the back of the head and then in the ribs with his stick before Zetterberg even knew he was in a fight??? LOL it was still entertaining

Cindy Crosby is a fuckin pussy. He has amazing sportsmanship when he is winning, but when he is losing, hes just a whiny little punk, who turns into a pest out there, looking to get a call every time.

I like how the commentators were saying that Bylsma and the team needs to open up the ice for Crosby. Are you fuckin serious?!? This is the supposedly the great one's and Lemieux's successor? Those guys made their own room out there, this guy is a fuckin disgrace.

They also need to give the "C" to Malkin, its obvious that kid's got more 2x as much heart and talent as Cindy.

I also like how the NHL has decided to not suspend Malkin for game 3 inspite of his instigator penalty in the last 5 mins, it supposed to be pretty automatic except in very special circumstances. So I guess the special circumstance is Cindy can't win shit w/o Malkin so they can't suspend the Penguins best player. Whereas, they will suspend a Flyer, a Bruin or Cap in a fuckin heartbeat.

NHL is turning into the NBA i.e. catering to one player, fuckin bullshit.

Haha. I'd call that one a draw. Malkin went at Zetterberg from behind and got his hits in, and then they both got hits in while the ref was pulling them apart...Malkin left the ice with much less equipment on though, so I'd call it a push. Haha.

Agreed....Malkin also got help from Satan if you see the hightlights keeping Zett in place. Push.

Don't think Malkin can actually pronounce "Captain" so that may not work out well.

This makes no sense. So they are catering to one star player entirely by not suspending someone else. When Colin Campbell evaluated the penalty don't you think he was considering the effect suspending Malkin would have on 1) the level of quality on the ice 2) the impact on the series scoreline 3) the fans who will be less likely to watch 4) the lesser likelihood of a long series for TV? And let's not forget Ovechkin's wild knee on Gonchar which would have drawn a suspension for most players ... bottom line is the NHL knows the difference between a goon and a star and knows which ones have to stay on the ice for the benefit of the fans.

Also just to go back to the Crosby being a bitch comments. He certainly isn't the greatest in the world when it comes to losing I agree. One thing which I think goes amiss very often though is that he's 21 years old but has the captain's spotlight thrust upon him and has had it for many years. No one that young should be a captain, that is just dumb. Toews in Chicago shouldn't be a captain either. These young guys should be learning how to react to a defeat and carry the C in the traditional spirit of the NHL by watching a veteran do it for years. Boggles the mind it does.

I still stand by Wings in 3, cause if they win tomorrow, this one is overrrrrrrrr.

Wings will prolly lose game 3, rush back in Game 4 and series over in 5.

 

[nesper]

game 3 is the toughest to win. u just shit stormed them in 2 games and they had Z on crosby like a cape. now pitt controls the switches. the wings can win game 3 but it is going to be tough and datsyuk needs to be 100%. If datsyuk comes back you'll have Helm and Abdelkader on the same line and they have been the high energy guys on the wings in this series while pitt seems to have bottled up hudler.

 

[Blade]

Wow that Post-Gazette guy is unbelievable. I like how he calls the Penguins the better team in the second article, clearly LOL.

 

[Buzzman]

those had to be some of the most humorous articles Ive ever read. I think it was Cook last who bitched Hossa out because he left a Dynasty in pitt and came to Detroit. LOL

 

[Blade]

Good find, I got about 5 penguins fans callin me a Flyer homer, cuz I was telling them the stick broke on its own.

Just emailed the vid to all of them

for a bi-partisan post

http://puckthemedia.wordpress.com/2...me-1-wins-weak-saturday-night-of-programming/

he game drew an average of 4.5 million viewers, and a 1.7 in the all-important Adults 18-49 demo, winning the night for NBC.

It’s a good start for the Stanley Cup Final when the viewership surpasses NBC’s entire average for last week’s primetime programming (4.4 Million).

Stanley Cups Finals at 5.33 million viewers and a 2.2/ 5 among adults 18-49 from 8-11 p.m

 

[nesper]

hopefully NBC is kicking themselves seeing both nights topped their weekly average, could have been a great lead in for conan on the tonight show.

 

[Apocalypse]

Let's go Wings, lets shut them out this time.

 

[nesper]

Why is this being shown, its not even a good goal, anyone can slap at a bouncing puck..........only Fleury would let it in.

If the moral of the post is that Fleury sucks, alright then.

let's not ignore the 2 penguins players that got toyed with while the other 4 wings were changing up and he got the shot off.

In probably the worst kept secret hossa and wings expected to announce 7 year deal after the finals.

 

[Apocalypse]

I think Zetterberg, Franzen and Cleary are going to come out very strong and get at least one goal between those guys..

Obviously we'll wait and see but yeah..

EDIT: 2 out of 3 ^^^ so far isn't bad =D
