Detroit vs Penguins! Just like last year!
LET's GO PENS!!! :aok
-
You know what?
The problem with hockey, which that little dweeb Bettman doesn't understand, is no-one's really interested in hockey when they're sitting out on a porch, sucking back a beer by the bar-b-que, and worrying about sunburn.
I love the game. but the season's too long.
-
Don't really care for hockey but I say the devils when asked haha.
I'll saythe penguins for the hell of it.

GO WINGS!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!

Pens in 5.

Im pretty sure its over, isnt it.
BLAHHHH

There is nothing I would like more in the next two weeks than to see the Pens win, and then a nice photoshop of Marian Hossa and the Knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
"You have chosen POORLY."
:)
Crosby's showing up. You can bank on it.
If Malkin, Staal, and Fleury show up too, the Wings will have their hands full. If not, it'll be a repeat of last year :cry
-
Im pretty sure its over, isnt it.
BLAHHHH
thats what i was thinking! lol

Not much of a Hockey fan myself, but I found myself excited about this series this morning when they were talking about it on Sportscenter. Pulling for Pittsburgh to win, Sid the kid is awesome.

...Sid the kid is awesome.

Wings in six.
He will be sitting in that crib holding Lord Stanleys cup soon. Pens in 4.
-
The way they both play, Penguins as an offensive play, and the Red Wings as defensive, this ought to be a really good series.
Have to give it to the Red Wings though, after what I saw them play against the Blackhawks, was pretty good.
-

:aok Ha! Great comeback!!!!! :aok
Wings in six....
-
I should add that I have watched approx. 3 minutes of NHL Hockey in my lifetime outside of highlights on sportscenter so add Hockey to the list of things I know absolutely nothing about. I am hoping to watch some of this series though.
-
Pens in 7.
-
With the injuries to the WINGS i will have to say PITTSBURGH in 7
-
I think it'll go to game 7! I'm hoping the Pens will win!! What's more exciting that watching the Stanley Cup finals go into game 7!??
The Wings are a tough team to beat, especially in the playoffs, but the Pens having Malkin, Crosby, Fleury, Gonchar, and a bunch of other great players it won't be a cake walk for the Wings.
-
My eldest daughter will be at Sat and Sundays games somewhere in the first 10 rows.
She says that Crosby will be coming home with her.
-

Lidstrom is playing, Datsuyk is probable, Erikson is a maybe even after having his appendix removed.
You got to love that about hockey, "stitch me up doc, I'm not missin the finals" you just don't see that in the other "sissy" sports.

Learning to watch on television takes time. Go to a game and see it live.
-
Injuries will hurt the wings, but their depth will pay off.
Wings in 7. Game 7 score. 4-3 OT.
-

You know, I just LOVE how that kid takes so much crap for "crying" still to this day.
Look, it is impossible to retain any credibility as a Penguins fan if you can't admit that Crosby had some MAJOR issues with mouthing off his rookie season. It seemed like every single time he got a penalty, he'd mouth off and whine so much that he'd end up getting a double-minor for unsportsmanlike conduct to boot. He certainly earned the nickname, "cindy crysby."
That being said, from the start of his sophomore season, he knocked that right off. He hasn't acted like a kid since he was 19... You'd think he's earned a break... Kids need to learn to grow up, and he entered the league at 18. What do people expect?
I guess it's a compliment to his amazing abilities that there is so little ammo to use against him that years-old expired fodder keeps being tossed about.
Anyway, the Penguins spotted Detroit two games last year before making it a series. If they come out caring from the beginning, Detroit is going to have to earn it.

2 good teams but go penguins. :aok

WOOT WOOT! GAME 1....WINGS VICTORY!! GO WINGS!!!

Only Red Wings names I see are Ruskie. Well 1 canadian. Good Game. j/k
pump your brakes girfriend.

I had a good laugh when I watched it last night on nbc.com, it was 10 seconds ahead of my TV. I knew there was a goal, and then watched it on my TV and they get a goal.

WOOT WOOT!!! GO WINGS! 3-1 GAME 2!!! LETS GO RED WINGS LETS GO!!!

It almost looked to easy. :t
-
...and if the NHL upholds their instigator penalty, Malkin will be sitting out game 3.
-
...and if the NHL upholds their instigator penalty, Malkin will be sitting out game 3.
The end of that game was maddening. People not around hockey won't understand why all of that happened. If the Pens are behind in game three, it could get vicious. The league was adamant that this kind of stuff wasn't going to be acceptable. I hate the Wings, but now I just want them to throttle the Pens.
Pens are totally frustrated. No doubt trying to shove Osgood into his own net with a stick says it all. Maybe Sid the Kid-iot knows now not to touch the conference trophy.
UPDATE: Campbell rescinded the Malkin suspension at around midnight eastern. Honestly, I don't understand why, but, whatever. Campbell's interpretation of the instigator rule is not the sole reason the rule was put into the book. Malkin received the penalty on the ice, as instigator... he chased down a Zetterberg, ostensibly for an incident earlier in the game, and started punching. This is a clear cut instigator call, and the referee made it. Game 3 is going to be wild, players will realize the league is letting them go at it now.
Also, Malkin's jersey was not tied down, which is an automatic game misconduct. It can't be enforced after this game, but I bet the Red Wings have a referee check it twice a period from now on.
Rule 47.22 states: "A player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation in the final five minutes or at any time in overtime shall be suspended for one game, pending a review of the incident. The director of hockey operations will review every such incident and may rescind the suspension based on a number of criteria. The criteria for the review shall include, but not be limited to, the score, previous incidents, etc..."
Following that review, Campbell said: "None of the criteria in this rule applied in this situation. Suspensions are applied under this rule when a team attempts to send a message in the last five minutes by having a player instigate a fight. A suspension could also be applied when a player seeks retribution for a prior incident. Neither was the case here and therefore the one game suspension is rescinded."

I refuse to watch the Playoffs. Bettman has proven his ineptness as Commissioner for his entire time at the position.
Which brings me to the latter. In 1993 he was brought in from the NBA with the task of selling the game in the U.S. market, end labor unrest, complete expansion plans, and modernize the views of the "old-guard" within the ownership ranks.
* He's failed at every single task for being Commissioner. He more or less lost the US market share with the last hold out. They went from 2 games a night on ESPN to a "renamed Outdoor Life Network" channel called Vs.
* He caused the last strike by not being pro-active and trying to get tough with the very people who hired him in the first place.
* Phoenix is a joke of an "expansion team" as are the Panthers and Wild.
* He'll never come close to the "Old Guard".
I don't watch Hockey when there is a baseball or football being thrown around.

holy cow! pens finally won a game! 4-2....doesn't matter. they are just postponing their destiny!! they gonna lose!! GO WINGS!!!
-
The Wings are mearly blinded by the fact they won last year 4-2. They can not see that they are facing an even better Penguins team that WILL beat them! :devil
-
6 players on the Ice for over 20 seconds and no penalty? :rofl

Its so tough to be a hockey fan in Indiana without spending hundreds on Direct TV packages. Nevertheless, GO WINGS! As I grew up in suburban Detroit. And no I'm not rooting for overtime in Game 7... lets win 5-0.

Go Pens!

I don't quite see why you would disagree with "Let's Go Pens"?? They are obviously the best team in the NHL. Hmmmm, what could it be... :D :P

Home Team is 6-0. Do the math, Wings win at home.
-
I want the Wings to win the cup, but last night I was rooting for more hockey! Glad the Pens won, game 7 is always a classic.
PS: Where is the Red Wings acting academy? Never seen so many dives in a game in a long time.
-

The math was correct, its just that the pens seemed to defy math :P

How? Pens fall tomorrow by the score of 4-1. The math is what it is, the Home team is 6-0.

LETS GO REDWINGS LETS GO! WOOT WOOT! GAME 7 IS OURS!!
-
Game 7 Time. Good series. :aok
-
WOOOO! 2-0 Pens half way through the game now. I'm not going to say anything because NO game is ever over until the clock hits 00:00 in the 3rd. Hopfully the Pens just continue to play their game, and hold the Wings off. Kennedy and Talbot....everyone was probably thinking Crosby and Malkin! Wtg Talbot!
Let's Go Pens! :pray
-
Yeah the Pens are playing pretty well. Fleury was the biggest question mark for me, and he is playing great so far in Detroit. I would rather see the Pens win than the wings. I can't say I am a fan of either team, but I love Hockey and this has been a great series.
-
Ya, I like what the Penguins are doing too. Most Wings and Wings fans were probably thinking Malkin, Crosby, and the other big guys would be the offensive players for Game 7, but they're playing more defensive while players like Fedetanko, Talbot, Kennedy, and Stall are taking the offense. Wonder if Talbot will get the Hat-trick. One more period we gotta hold the Wings, just 20 more minutes!!! This game isn't over yet!
Let's Go Pens!!! :rock :pray

You mean with help from the refs?
Both goals wouldn't have been goals in the regular season. First one was clearly an icing dump in, second one there was an interference and a hook. I have no affiliation with either team... hate the wings, actually. It's been obvious since game 3 Bettman wants Crosby to get his cup.
I'm a hockey player, and it's embarrassing.

Woot!

It was the most solid statistic of them all. I'm not a Wings fan, just rooting for the Home Team. But, the Wings were lazy and it cost them. The only other Stanley Cup Finals that was better than this one, was the 94 Series. Which has to be the Greatest of the last 20 years.
