Are you speaking from experience? How did you manage to get away from your parents long enough to register on this board as well as have all that time to think of that clever and original handle?

Well time for my .02 dollars... Everything that posters are critical of is true but, in my opinion, can be traced back to one thing: being exhausted. Turovers, flat feet on the PK/PP, bad penalties, lack of physical play, the whole package. That said, hopefully the day off will put some charge back in the batteries, give Babs and the team a chance to go over tapes and talk to each other, and gives Pavs yet another 2 days to rest up. Until we lose a game at home I'm not going to start thinking about the doom and gloom. Even then, if ever there's a team capable of pulling off big wins it's our Red Wings. Last time I checked, it was a 7 game series and nothing is even close to being over. You think the guys in the locker room are sucking their thumbs and trembling right now? f*** no! And neither should we. Moments like THESE are the reason why we're Red Wings fans people. It's easy and pathetic to kick this team when its down and throw in the towel but I challenge all of you, myself included, to get over this lackluster game and look forward to the fact that we're STILL in this series and heading home to the Joe. Screw fairweather fans, screw bait posters, screw critics, and screw the Penguins. WE are the Champs. And this is OUR Cup!!! GO WINGS GO!!!

NIGHTMARE ON HEML STREET!!! hsdfpokhdfipohpfiheoifh{oeifh~~~~!!!!!!

This.

So, you mean he's still going to decide on playing after the pre-game skate just like what was reported about 6 hours ago? I love this.

Link please.

Good lord!!! How do you even manage to navagate the interwebz?

Did I miss the part after the pre-game skate when he decided he wasn't playing and told the coach and media?

That, and 33 years of historical fact. The only team that hasn't won the Cup after winning the first two games were the 1971 Chicago Blackhawks. Or are you like other Penguin fans and fail to retain any hockey knowledge previous to the drafting of Sidney Crosby? Isn't there a Penguins board missing an idiot right now? Ass-hat.

Is it really odd for a guy who hasn't played in 2-3 weeks to be out there longer on game day after coming off injury?

You know what I love? I love fans from other teams on this board straying completely off topic in their replies in a pathetic attempt to bait out a response. Read what you quoted again, stop putting words in peoples mouths, and speak when you are spoken to ass-hat.

Oh man. I can just imagine Pavel saying that last part in his hybrid Russian/English accent and it gives me chills. Watching the Ducks defence suffocate his game was depressing but now that he's healthy, rested, and hungry...he's gonna run a f***ing TRAIN on that Swiss Cheese Penguin defense! PAAAAAAASHHHAAAAA!!!!!

:looney: Yes. I'm sure out Pavel Datsyuk won't be a huge factor. In fact, we should probably just let him sit this series out.

I just went from a 6 to a 12.

Yeah, sure looks like the fight fired up the Pens. Looks like they don't even wanna touch Malkin with a 10ft clown pole. Meanwhile, Z is gettin props from the bench.

I heard that Fleury was having a meltdown after he heard that Max Talbot was cheating on him with Garon.

Thanks Mike Babcock.

PUT YOUR FOOT ON THEIR THROAT BOYS!!! Wings 4 (Abby x3, Hossa 1) Pens 0 I'M THINKIN' ABBY'S!!!

Yeah, and if it does, we'll just have Hossa, Z, or Franzen step in. After all, our AHL team needs a break once and a while.

This is the ONLY post I have made or will make regarding "lucky bounces" or "Detroit's boards": Prior to Game 1, Dan Bylsma had an option to practice either at Mellon or JLA. He chose Mellon. He chose wrong.

I thought the gripe that Pens fans had was in regards to the hook on the hands right before this? Or am I simply pointing out something completely unrelated?

I just fell in love with Don Cherry all over again... "I don't often pick. But when I do, I pick Detroit Red Wings. Stay thristy my friends" Pure.Win. GO WINGS GO!!!!!
