Yes Detroit should finish in the bottom 3 of the NHL for 4 straight years so they can be like the Pens... In fact all teams will be trying to suck for 4 straight years to be as good as the Pens..

Chris Neil for the Lady Byng!!!

How dare you say that about the best 2 players to ever play the game!! Im calling out the mods here to ban Barrie for comments detrimental to the integrity of the NHL... They werent acting like babies... That was passion and love for the game!!!

Malkins elbow was an example of his passion, grit and determination... Crosbys slashes are brought on from his hard work, leadership and overall love of the game..

Spooning leads to forking!!

Last year Orpik was relegated to 4th line winger because of hi piss poor D play.. and now they have to have Scuderi play against the top lines because they know Orpik will get smoked

Thay gave Orpik close to 4 million a years because of his "shift" against the Wings last year when he hit like 4 players!!! Damn I want that opportunity!!!

Yeah a few Pens players said everyone on the Wings bench were yelling at each other.. They said it wasnt typical of the usual calm and cool Wings team.. I think it was Talbot who said "We have them worried and rattled"

Before... Pavel D coming back is nothing but a side show and he will be as effective as Godard... Detroit is to old and they are tired now.... Ozzie has been solved so Pens in a blowout... Zetts is the only decent player on the team... Lidstrom will retire after being lit up by Crosby and Malkin all night tonight.... Franzen should be called the Jackass instead of the mule.. During... Here we go Pens dominating the 1st pd... Ozzie making lucky saves as always... Fleury lets in his only soft goal tonight... 2nd period was all about the refs calling the Pens for everything and Det gets away with murder... The Pens cant beat the refs and the Wings.... The crowd is classless for chanting Fleury and saying Crosby sucks... We need Cooke to go Hollweg on Pavel D's foot and someone just needs to run Ozzie so he's out for the series without those 2 the Pens win it in 7 easily... 3rd period.. We need to just run everyone; spears, fights, slashes, boarding, interference... whatever it takes to hurt their top players since the game is out of reach... After.... the realists: We got smoked by a rejuvanated Wings team.... the majority: Bettman wants his fav team to win it seems... Thats was a great loss by the Pens so now they will come out on fire for games 6 annd 7... We lost because the game was on NBC... We lost because the big screen wasnt outside Mellon Arena... The refs screwed us... Crosby and Malkin were interfered with all game... Ozzie is the luckiest goalie in NHL history... My personal fave, If Fleury makes that save on the first goal Pens win this one 4-0 easily.. The boards favor the Wings... My take on the game.... Pens did come out playing good... MAF let them down with his usual soft goal.. Pavel D played inspired hockey both on O and D.. When the Pens got down by a few goals in the 2nd they played like a bunch of spoiled rich brats with all their slashing, elbowing, and in general unsportsmanlike rough play.... Orpik.... oh Orpik... Everyone in Pgh says he is Jack Lambert on skates but in reality he hits when it doesnt matter and cannot play D to save his life...

Also everyone and their mother here in Pgh is soooooooo pumped up the Pavel D is possibly playing because of the whole "he is injured and overrated" talk going on.

Well first I am from Southern Ontario and played Junior A until I was 19, so Im not a hockey retard or anything... I relocated to Pittsburgh a 10 years back (job). Now that the Pens are decent the bandwagon here has filled up... I dont mind new hockey fans but so many of them are complete hockey retards since they have only been fans the past few years.. When my team would be playing the Pens in Pgh years ago I had to sit thru hours of Steeler talk with the 8K fans that would show up to the games. Now everyone here is a hockey expert... Here are some of my Pet Peeves hockey wise - Everyone here says Pittsburgh in the best market in the USA for hockey.... Umm Detroit? Minny? Buffalo? The north eastern USA?? - Everyone here thinks Gretzky was not a good player.. Since he played before 1991 (thats when the Pens could sell more than 9K tickets per game) he shouldnt be counted. - Everyone here thinks Ovie is not a good player because all he does is "score goals" - Everyone here thinks U guys getting Pavel D back is actually a plus for the Pens since he has been garbage all playoffs - Everyone here thinks they know everything about hockey because they play NHL 2008 - Plus there are our local sports talk idiots... For football they are good.. For hockey they are a disaster. The 1 guy Mike Logan is a mumbling ex steeler, that didnt know what icing was 1 year ago (its true)... The other guys on the AM dial that want to talk Steelers and Pirates 24/7... Then our resident fat boy Mark Madden. He is really 5 foot 9 close to 400 lbs... He has been that way all of his life and now is working on his 3rd heart attack. He claims to be a hockey guru not because he has ever played hockey but coaches a local deck hockey team for kids??? Yeah that makes u an expert. Anyways he has been droning on about how Detroit has been cheating and when Crosby doesnt score it just hurts the NHL and now that the Pens won their first game there is no way Detroit will win again. Now that the Pens won a game all I keep hearing is "Letang will be better than Lidstrom" "Talbot is better than Hossa" "Zetterburg is overrated" "Osgood isa choker" "Fleury is of course beter than Patrick Roy"... Plus did u ever go to a game in Pgh?? I remember 1 time I go and my team wins... Well druing the game Im pretty suprised about how many of the fans are under 22 and female... Then I see the signs "Sid shoot it in my 5 hole" "Marry me Jordan" "I love you Talbot" "Lisa heart sign Marc Andre" "Jordan I love you!!"..... I almost thought I was at a Back Street Boys concert... So anyways Im leavin after my team wins and this group of 15 years olds scream "Who cares about the score... Our players are hotter!!" Just win these next 2 games so everyone here can go back to saying "Pittsburgh still has a hockey team???"
