So Malkin got beat by a girl? And what's wrong with diving into an empty net? To the OP: hilarious! Hank doesn't have to make physical contact to win fights -- eye contact will do.

LOL. Reasonable post OP, but the Wings only improve as the play improves. I wasn't feeling awesome before this series started but the feeling sure is getting close.

Didn't know that Tim! How about "losing respect for Crosby" for hacking at Maltby after a loss, or Malkin for trying to send a message ... after a loss. Pens are embarrassing. Sorry for not knowing the full story.

It sounds a lot crisper anyways - I prefer it.

See how good refs can be when they just let the play continue.

Before I begin, some people on this forum make me embarrassed to be a wings fan. This series appears to be over but it's not until the Cup is in our (hopefully) hands. While we aren't Washington you can't forget that Pittsburgh came back from that series to win it. So stop rubbing it in until it happens. And stop calling the poor man a troll. He's one of the more reasonable Pens fans and all he's doing is stating his opinion. You're allowed to disagree without being an idiot. Finally, to the OP and every other Pens fan: Pittsburgh is a good team. Detroit is a better team. Detroit has been getting lucky breaks, yes, but so has Pittsburgh. It's part of the game. The better team will find a way to win. We are NOT being outplayed by the Pens by any means. I will admit that the play has been equal at the least but you have only had a couple of really solid chances; a lot of your shots are weak, (I respect how you think we've had weak goals but you take them how you get em - you don't see us whining about Stuart scoring your only goal yesterday), and your play in our offensive end does not even compare to our play in your offensive end - save a couple of really good efforts. And please... a win is a win. Leave it at that. Stop making up excuses. "Detroit got lucky" is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's a ******* slap to the face. Detroit wins for a reason. We haven't been the winningest team for 82 games for the past 17 seasons because of "luck."

No.

Are you blind? The Wings shut down all superstars... not just Crosby and Malkin. They're both solid, hard-working players, but it's hard to look exceptional when you're playing the wings.

DET/PIT: 4-2 I hope we take it in 5 or 7 though because I really want to win it at home. Rather win it away than not at all though. Go Wings go.

Amateur, yet authentic. It adds character. I like it.

I think missing a game is exactly what he needs.. the rest of the team will step up in his absence hopefully.

Dellyyyyyyyyyy

DET/CHI 4-2 PIT/CAR 3-4 nerves.

This is to be expected though... any teams fans will search for possible excuse other than that they were the worse team and deserved to lose. We would probably been doing it had it been us. That being said, it was not us, the series is over and their complaints do nothing for them. So if complaining about a non-call that for once, makes sense (even according to the rule book - Bob Mackenzie read it out loud on TSN), makes the Ducks fans feel good about their lives then let them complain. Deep down though, they know that the refs did the right thing and in the long run their whining is nothing but a waste of time.

Are you relatively upset? Just curious. Or did you know it was coming? You seem pretty calm.

Halfway there baby... Go wings

OK, I'm ready to go to bed now, so i can wake up to find out that we won 17-2.

Shot down, but it's called optimism.

All I can say is: We will win this game. Can I hear it?

Bad effort, need to finish up open chances (please no more fanning), stop playing sloppy/turning the puck over... pretty much everything is extremely 100% obvious. Here we go, typical Detroit showing up with 20 minutes left. (You can count on it that they WILL show up now - let's just hope it's enough time.)

lol.

Washington/Detroit would be nice. Either way Boston is done for and Carolina is like Anaheim... don't take them lightly.

I need caps and bruins... both are down... great.

I was thinking the same thing. Anaheim knocked us out in 2003, then again in 2006. It's 2009 now... it's like they say: third times a charm

Detroit will come back hard... because they will all be pissed from Tuesday night. 4-1 Detroit. We will move on to the next round.
