NHL Playoffs

Secondly, I don’t have a problem with the Wings losing, that’s the breaks, it’s how they lost. The ref’s put their whistles away (25 seconds of too many men? Crosscheck to Franzens head.) until a very shakey call near the end of the period with the game tied.

I’m just sayin.[/quote]

And Zetterberg covering up the puck on Osgood’s back should have been a penalty shot in Game 1.

We can all pick and choose when to complain, but things have been missed on both sides, and it’ll likely continue to be that way.

Just gotta play.

Crosby is still the top douchebag in the NHL

Why?

Yes…I am curious as to the answer which will be provided here.

I suspect it will be rich in douchebaggery :smiley:

I’m sure he’s a good kid, but the NHL promotion of him as the second coming is certainly douchey. You’d think he was the only talented guy in the NHL.

On the above I do agree.

I agree 100%. Ones who won that game were the ref’s.

I hate when people talk about refs in sports, they are there trying to make the game better and keep it as even as possible. Yeah the pens caught a few breaks, but like it’s been said before so did the Wings when Zetterberg covered the puck with his hand, in the end the hockey gods even out the calls and it truly is the best team who wins, if you think you had bad calls in the finals go talk to Buffalo how they feel about the Hull goal, if you like whining about refs go watch some soccer and have a blast!

While I agree with just letting them play, if you are going to put the whistle away, keep it put away. Don’t pull it out at the end of the game with the game on the line.

I still love my Red Wings. :slight_smile:

SUCK IT WINGS! PITTSBURGH IN SIX!!!

Datsyuk in two… err detroit in six. Pittsburgh better freaking pray that pav isn’t healthy in game five.

Wow, Malkin was on fire last night, sure hope he’s the next guy to defect. Wings had no D, disappointing as it was pens deserved that win.

wow im very impressed that the pens were able to come back and win 2 in a row to even the series

Still love the Wings.

The Pens played an great game. Malkin was a machine, the Malkin/Crosby 2 on 1 was classic and goal 4 was just incredible. Those 6 minutes in the 2nd period were all it took.

Let’s hope Pavel is healed up for Games 5 and 6.

Wings didn’t skate Saturday morning, will be well-rested.

“Detroitâ??s head coach Mike Babcock has noticed this and will not have them do a morning skate on Saturday. Will that keep their legs fresh? Who knows, but itâ??s a start. And there is the added benefit of knowing Pavel Datsyuk is confirmed to get ice time in Game 5â?¦of course, he also proclaimed he was playing on Thursday night.”

2 grand on the Wings, even with low payout.

Its hard not to love em eh? <grinnin`>

Looks like they`re running away with Game 5 and I expect they will win in 6 as I predicted above :smiley:

On a somewhat related note, I work as a bike courier and dropped an envelope at the Bell Center addressed to Bob Gainey last week.

It took a lot of effort not to write “You fucking TWAT” on the envelope <grinnin`>
