did anyone else think the pens looked silly waiting at the boards to talk shit to the wings after they were done greeting osgood at the goal and were heading to the locker room? what were they saying? "watch out next game, guys! we're gonna getcha!"
i agree w/ rosem -- some captain.

If the Pens lose game two this series is as good as done.
Sorry Flav.

Detroit has soooo many good players. Every line is stacked, it's hilarious.
While there is no "I" in team there is one in Victory ;)

I'm just giving you a hard time. :)
Honestly I don't think Pittsburg can beat Detroit—they depend on Crosby and Malkin too much. As long as Detroit can keep these two under control, I don't see them winning.
Detroit is deep enough to use their "star" players to play a more defensive role, and let the underrated players put up the points. When Datsyuk returns (Game 3/4?) it will be even harder for them to keep control of the puck.
It's the same reason the Caps lost to Pittsburgh as they were relying on Oveckin. There is no "i" in "Stanley"...
- I do agree that it must be a team effort, and Detroit always has depth.juhls

go lakers!

Are Detroit fans always this irritating? Haha.
Seriously though, there were many weird bounces in that game. I could see it going either way from here on out. Penguins were pulling out everything they could during the last period, but the Wings were great along the boards and at getting the puck away.
- I guess you guys are just passionate.juhls
- i think any outside city thinks other loud passionate fans are annoying because they are not rooting for your team. don't hate. : )nicole_marie

I really hope someone lays out Crosby for that stupid two-hander on Maltby after the game—some captain.
- And someone (probably Crosby) should've had a penalty shot after Zetterberg put his hand on the puck.juhls
- He didn't cover the puck though, he put his hand on it to stop it, and then put his whole body on it.rosem
- hand on puck = penalty shotsikma
- it needs to be a closed hand over the puck. he had an open palm and never kept it over the puck.rosem
- It was so obvious that he had his hand on there though.juhls
- And he did keep it on there before put his whole body on it. All the commentators even said so.juhls

Wings were good, but the Pens were hungry in that last period.

I like Hossa's attitude. He wants to WIN. And he doesn't care which city he does it from, Christ he's not an American. Personally I would only want to play for one team, but then again I grew up living in hockey cities.

When Hossa left, it was a pretty big deal. He basically said they had no chance of ever winning the Cup, after playing with them the entire playoffs and second half of the season.
The Penguins wanted him back, gave him a multi-year contract.
He signed with the Red Wings, specifically for a better chance at winning the Cup, for one year and less money.
To his credit, it shows what he wants. People do it in sports all the time (with varying success). But never in this particular fashion, haha.
We will be at the Anchor Bar.
GO PENS GO!!!
I"M GOING TO EAT THEM ALL!!! NOM, NOM, NOM!!!
- true dat... but not on the you winning part.... : )nicole_marie

"Marian Hossa is nothing more than a guy who chose a team to ride their coat tails for ONE chance at the Stanley Cup. It's really fucking pathetic when you think about it" -Kipper, The Pens Forum
- juhls0
Are you guys really that upset about Hossa? haha
- flavorful0
I will be at Game 1 tomorrow at Joe Louis.
Any Red Wings fans want to get some drinks beforehand, haha?

Pens are primed for redemption! I wouldn't want to be Hossa right now. That dude is gonna lose the Cup two years in a row. Lord Stanley, here we come!

Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup in the same year? Oh yeah. Too bad the bucs are shitty.
