Wow refs gave games 3 and 4 to Pittsburgh
Horrible, gay, penalty calls in both games
a 3-0 hole wouldn't have been a good thing for Bettman; dude is fighting hard for its popularity
We'll see what the Wings bring in game 5.
They look exhausted. DLF is probably sick of reading this from me, but it seems the Wings made a mistake by closing out the Hawks in 5 games.
If they wouldnt have, game 1 of the SCFs wouldnt even start until tomorrow. Oh well, lets hope some home cooking does the trick for them.
Blame ing SOB Gary Bettman for scheduling back-to-back games last weekend, because of NBC
Has a team ever lost the Cup after being up 2-0 in the Finals?
Yes.
Montreal twice
Toronto once
and the Wings were allowed to prison rape the Pens in games 1 and 2. It evens out. Both teams have gotten some extremely nice home cookin from the refs.Wow refs gave games 3 and 4 to Pittsburgh

stop whining. from what i understand, hockey has long been known for giving the home team top notch zebra lovin.
Yeah, but Wings deserve the special treatment
They are hockey royalty
no, the Canadiens are hockey royalty.
and no one deserves special treatment....sports should an equal playing ground, at least when it comes to officiating.
unfortunately, because it is a business, the best players tend to get the benefit of the calls........same way with the NBA.
The Wings are a dirty hockey team.....especially Cleary. They have been this way for the past 3-4 years....but the league just allows them to mug and assault at will without any recourse.
Thank you, but we WERE hockey royalty; I hope my Habs wake the next season
Go Habs go !!!!!
Personally, I don't care about the WIngs
Datsyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuk
What a difference his presence makes
Red Wings raping a team they are supposed to rape.
No surprise here.
Oh, and Osgood, a notorious performer in games 5
Ya, the Wings are the dirty team. Why is it that the pens are the ones bringing the cheap shots at the end of games they are getting whooped up on???
Very well put
Pens are just a bunch of $%^ punks, and that includes Crosby and Malkin
Red Wings? Dirty?
Pass me some of what you are smoking.
Go tell Cindy to man up and stop being a . Malkin can go with him.
It's Boys vs Men that is all the kids get frustrated.
Destruction Incarnate.
The Pens went out like a bunch for 2 dollar hoes. They played completely uninspired and acted like a group of spoiled brats. They showed zero composure last night. It was the most pathetic display I have ever seen. As a Penguins fan, I am embarrassed by the I saw last night.
It is one thing to get your ass kicked....it is another to just drop your pants, bend over, and take it PRISON STYLE on national tv....and then all the bull penalties....what the was that about? I wish I could blame the officiating, but 100% of the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of those fellas who played like a flock of feathered gots.
Well, at least game 6 is in Pitt. I hope they decide to show up and even the series.
Oh, and yes, the Wings are dirty. Just cause the Penguins went out like sniveling es last night, doesn't change the fact that Detwaw, and especially Cleary, are dirty thugs....and the league allows to be who they are. I wish the Penguins were more thug and a little less finesse.
BTW, I knew Datsyuk would be a huge addition to the Wings in this series....his return was vital to the beatdown we saw last night.
Pittsburgh had their chances....especially shorthanded. IMO, they should have scored 2-3 shorthanded goals........and if they had, maybe they don't lose their composure, maybe they keep their heads in the game, and maybe they find a way to stymy the Wings in the 2nd period and win the game. Unfortunately, they just couldn't find a way to convert on Osgood......who owned Joe Louis last night.
GO PENGUINS
Well that sucked! The Pens got their asses kicked!
A statement like "...the Wings are dirty" implies only one thing...
You dont watch them until the Finals. The Wings are anything but dirty. Theyre probably the cleanest team in the league and honestly, I dont think second place is very close at all.
The term "dirty" should be reserved for teams like the Ducks, Flyers and the Vancouver defense corp. Otherwise, dirty is a term attached to a certain player, not a whole team.
Especially the Wings....man, thats like "the world is flat" denial right there.
+1 on every count
I admire and respect the Wings
The Wings responded in Game 5 like a champion would.
This is over in 6.
@ samikeyp
I also despise when people refer to teams as "we" and "us". Those terms may slip my lips in a conversation with my boys over for the game, but never on a forum.
It just...implies that you are incapable of removing your emotion from the conversation on even the most mundane topics.
I do as well. Theyre the class of professional sports, period. 20 years of excellence and counting.
Its a pretty safe bet that they'll be contenders for the next 10 at least, too.
In 10 years, I'll be 39 years old. 30 of those years, the Wings were good. 25 of those years, they were Stanley Cup contenders, year in and year out. Thats just...sick.
No other sport has that currently except baseball with the Yankees (and they havent won in a looooong time). Thats some rarified air to be in.
Montreal though had the most dominate run in sports in the 50s, 60s and 70s. No other team had what fans of that era had, and I dont think any fan ever will again. It was a 6 team league, then 12, then 18 or 20 (cant remember), yet the Habs still won more often than not.
1. The thing with the Wings is even though they don't win the Cup every year, they have been compe ive every season; great management, period; Ken Holland is one of the best GM's in pro sports, period
2. Regarding the Habs, the last time they were consistently compe ive, it was from the mid 80's to the early 90's.
Of course, we had Patrick Roy back then, which helped a lot, but we also had a heck of a team around him; why? because Serge Savard was the GM, that's why; we need him badly
And of all the Habs dynasties, the 70's ws the best; not to insult the Richard brothers or Jean Beliveau, but it's true.
Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson, Serve Savard, Guy Lapointe, Jacques Lemaire, Steve Shutt, Doug Jarvis, Mario Tremblay, Guy Lafleur.
Of course, Scotty Bowman coached the aforementioned team, which was a big contributing factor
What a great ing game.........Bring on game 7.
Osgood and Fleury showing some ified moxie tonight. BTW, Osgood is the best post season goalie I have ever seen. Any other goalie and the Pens dominate this series. I hate that bas .
GO PENS
