This thread makes me VERY sad panda. It's enough to admit that Crosby has considerable talent. I'm no idiot. I know that the guy is going to be a monster on the ice. I just plain old do not like him. I think there's a certain caliber of person it takes to wear the winged wheel - and I don't think that Crosby is that type of person. I don't think it's just immaturity. For those of you excusing his actions by saying he's only 21, stop. I'm 20 years old and there's nothing more irritating than somebody excusing my ignorance or immaturity because I'm young. That's absolutely no reason to give someone a pass. At 21, he should know better. Hell, at 20, I should know better. Maybe in a few years, he'll change and I'd be comfortable enough to say sure - join our crew. But right now? No. I don't think he's the caliber of person I'd want in a Red Wings sweater.

Yeah, I kept praying the goal would be waved off, which is why I texted you back and said "It's being reviewed!!" But alas, no. My heart was broken yet again.

Cleary is, by far, my favorite player on the Detroit Red Wings. The work ethic of this guy absolutely astounds me. Any given second he's on the ice, he's putting his heart, soul, and sweat into whatever it is he's doing. Love ya, Cleary. Glad to have you on the Wings!

/Cue Twilight Zone music.

We'll never know until we get Santa out there.

I didn't mean cup contenders. I meant who-has-fans-that-boo-the-most-obnoxiously contenders.

This is very true. But holy cow, they're going to be a contender pretty soon. It's like "They have the puck - BOO." "The whistle was blown - BOO." There's only one action to describe how I feel listening to that crowd: /Facepalm.

Lol @ the Shark fans booing everything. Literally.... everything. Who do you think you are? Philly?

Hahahaha. I don't know whether I should be insulted or not.

Seriously... watch that logic thing.

Never said he was the best player on Pittsburgh, I just don't think Malkin gets nearly enough credit.

Didn't Illitch purchase land and get a building permit, or am I just making this up?

Just being honest. Taking out Crosby's talent, I'd rather scrape my forehead against a cheese grater than find out he's on our team. Just bein' honest.

Crosby is better than Zetterberg....? Crosby is a good hockey player - but Malkin is better, in my opinion. I wouldn't want Crosby on my team - but it has nothing to do with his talent or skill.

......Seriously?

Hell. Freakin'. No. Crosby is the one player I would never ever EVER want to see wearing the winged wheel. Malkin on the other hand....

But.... I like bedtime stories.

Okay then...?

No. But it doesn't make it okay to act like a pompous *******. Do what you want. I'm certainly not trying to tell you what to do.. but not every Columbus fan beats up little kids and octopi throwers. Keep that in mind.

A Jackets fan got beat up at the Joe as well. There's assholes and morons on both sides of the fence. I still say there's no need to be acting this way.

I can handle myself. I may be tiny - but I'll win!

Top Shelf isn't educated enough to hold a job - and therefore not educated enough to have money to buy hockey tickets. My plan is not yet foiled.

Guys, I really think we should give it up now. Columbus had their first playoff experience ever - and they put up a hell of a fight in the last game. It's disappointing to their fans to have to end the season on the call that they did. If it was our team, we'd be furious. Some of their fans threw bottles on the ice - classless move, we all agree. But that's not ALL of their fans. I don't think this thread is helping any of the stereotypes that Wings fans are arrogant and cocky, etc. We're better than this. Let's act like it.

Yeah, why not? If someone jumps a girl, they're gonna get their butts kicked. Perfect cover!

Violently attacked? Lol. No way! 90% of us are completely level-headed and not like that whatsoever. You may get some jaw-jacking back and forth, but I highly doubt anybody is going to attack you. No worries! Most of us are really good people.
