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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Title: Re: The Stanley Cup Finals Thread
Post by: MORAY37 on May 31, 2009, 11:40:19 PM
...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.

Quote
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.

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.
Title: Re: The Stanley Cup Finals Thread
Post by: Latrobe on June 12, 2009, 08:50:24 PM
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!

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.
