Why the hell would his old ass ever be offered a contract here anyways?? Maybe i'm overreacting, but if that picture ain't photoshopped then really, and truly he can go f*** himself. Does he have zero clue at what's going on in the hardest hit state in the country??

Our fans are too classy. But I'll say this. The NHL is run like a ******* country club up in those offices. They rescind legit penalties. They ignore the truly best players and exciting teams in the league. And instead try and create a face for the game in a ass like Crosby. Their refs. We could go on and on ... Best thing to happen. Biggest statement we as fans can make is to walk out right at games end if Bettman indeed finishes up these playoffs as he has wanted all along. Get up. And walk out booing. Let him announce the winner to an empty building!! Even being a lawyer, he just could not explain it away and would be embarrassed as f*** that that is occurring on live TV. Goo Wings!!

Troll? Yes! But this thread is ******* hilarious. Crosby wants it more?? Hahahahahahaha. This nerdy, crybaby has been shut down by the best team in the world. Invisible ALL final. Staal (who is so misused by f***face Blysma) is making him look like a chump as well - scoring BIG goals at the right times. Yknow, things leaders and captains usually do! As we hoist the Cup this weekend, I will take as much happiness in THAT as I will knowing the Red Wings have shown the whole hockey world what a chump and disappearing act Crosby really is. He sucks as a person. He sucks as a captain. He sucks as a leader. And because of the Wings, those who are actually HOCKEY fans and not just supporters of one team now know he is also not the best player in the league. Face/future of the game?? I can't stop laughing.

Very much agreed. Hossa's been PATHETIC. Came here to win a Cup? As what? A ******* passenger?? Each time I hear his quotes recently I begin to dislike him more and more. He's coasting and new guy or not, I know some guys on the bench, behind it or upstairs are wondering where the f*** he is as well. And to those saying he scored 40 for us this season, well yeh ... and?? Big f***in' deal. That was the REGULAR season!! We are in the business of winning Cups here in Detroit. Not losing them. Injured, some say? Well if he is, then why is he playing? You're good enough to go - contribute. The f***'s the point of dressing him to pull this disappearing act.

Count me among the skeptics. The Wings needed to finish this tonight. Not Friday!! I discussed this for 2 days: you simply do not want a winner take all with one side having Sissy Crosby - the NHL's poster boy looking at his first ring. Bettman wants it. The NHL feels it's best for the game. And the refs have been pathetic. Not exactly what I wanna see Friday. Imagine .. 1-1. 3rd period. Game 7. A minute to go. And there goes the whistle yet again for a call as "good" as the goalie interference call tonight on Hank. Unrealistic?? It could very well happen. It's all on us now that we f***ed up a there-for-the-taking game tonight. Man I'm pissed.

I never say this about any Red Wing during the playoffs as I really do like to look at things once the summer comes and with it, perspective. But ... Hossa has brought back horrible memories of him in Ottawa. After tonight, I mean really - he is way too content with floating around out there. Yeh, big deal he threw a few hits LAST game. Sorry but if he is NOT scoring why the duck is he here?? He is supposed to be #3 after Hank & Pavs in terms of the go to offensive threat, is he not?? I've held my comments all playoffs but dammit, enough!! Even with a Cup win Friday, it's more and more obvious he ain't going to be a constant go to guy come playoff time. Take your ring and .... This ain't got s*** to do with tonight's loss either. Goals in only Game 4's?? Pul-leeze!!

Maybe I missed a few of his pressers ... but from what ive seen all season is dude comes off as as a bit smug. I see some similarities in the way he responds to questions much the same as Crosby does. Go Wings!!

Bad bad karma. 2 things to look forward to tonight: - The win - Crosby crying and looking defeated, with tears running down his goofy face again like last years playoffs. Gooo Wings!!!!

This is the reason some people shouldn't have access to anything opinion related. You just said top-heavy and then dissed Zetterberg, Pavel and Lidstrom. Staal never ******* even when you're rookie coach misuses him. I like THAT. But trying to defend Crosby?? Malkin?? Crosby has Marios named all over him now and he's only 4 years in the league. Too bad Sissy Crosby is scared to live alone. Living with Mario, he's learn from the best the meaning of Whine, Complain, ***** the worlds against you and Scream when the other team scores a hat trick on you and fans throw their hats. Because of this he will always be known as a great player who could score but never killed penalties, never made the guys around him better and never was a "leader". For that, I'm happy. Malkin jumps guys, yet still can't land a punch. LOL. Runs and hides. No thanks. Detroit values PEOPLE as much as talent when we bring guys in. It's TEAM and only team that matters here. Yet we've got two of the top 10 players in the league here. s*** maybe top 5, to go with the best defenseman in the league and depth that 29 other teams TALK ABOUT and envy.

And points don't = heart. And you need that to win Cups. Good luck with that.

The Wings are discussing what THEY did wrong last game. They are also getting set to put it up another gear to finish this series. We've been here so many times, our guys know how to kick it up another gear. I can guarantee you the Wings ain't moaning today about the loss like "OMG what have we done????". Pens needed to win both games. Needed. Now its a best of three. And you can bet it's going to be a VERY different effort tomorrow at home with our guys knowing it's our Cup to lose. I do find it laughable and a little bit of a slight reading that Penguins like Max Talbot are talking out their ass with comments about the Pens now being in control of the series. A classic case of say something 100 times and it might become true. Whatever helps their dreams of a Cup win, I guess. Points don't = heart. Crosby should wear an A and not be allowed to ever speak to the media.

Guys ... listen ... .. we beat ourselves last night. Played like crap. Too many turnovers. YES. But these guys KNOW how to finish the job!! The Pens are going to seriously start looking ahead to the Cup win now that this series is tied. They will spend the next day convincing themselves that they are in control. If game #5 and #7 were in Pittsburgh they would fall all over themselves telling everyone that. We are the better team. We have home ice advantage. With Pavel back, even 70%, it gets our other guys playing the right minutes. It is all on us to win the 2/3. No excuses with up to only 3 games left in the season. f*** Mellon Arena. We will feast on home cooking ... and get back to OUR game. Goooo Wings!!!

Still iffy halfway thru today, is it even smart Pavs plays? You know the Pens are gonna take full advantage of this injury now

Ok. Pens got their win. A gimme. Freebie. Whatever. Enough talk from Sissy Crosby and these clowns in the media claiming this series is just starting and the pressure now rests with Detroit! Uhhh. Yeh. OK. There's NO crying in hockey Crosby!!! 2 W's til Cup 12. Go Wings!!!

Agreed. This thread sucks. Fan since '93? Uh huh.

Lucky? Hardly. Wings are the better team. Depth. Poise. Calm. Experience. A couple of bad bounces on Fleurys part, but even without those goals, who knows what the final score. Luck has nothing to do with it, unless you're a Pens fan. That's all they're screaming for 4 days. Love to see this series played with a healthy Wings team. Sissy Crosby and the rest of the Penguins would likely have been run out of our building by now.

Just two more W's and we can all enjoy our summer off watching replays of another Wings Cup win and laugh our asses off at another epic failure from the NHL's poster boy. For all his skill, living with Mario Lemieux has really rubbed off on Crosby in all the wrong ways. Sissy. Whiner. Cheat. Diver. And my favorite: loser!! Goooo Wings!!!

I'm feeling confident this morning. Back to backs really suck but as quick as we have to get back out there, the Pens and Cindy Crosby also have little time to make tweaks. I think they still feel the outcome shouldve been better. Yet Game #1 wasn't even our best game. More to come, Pittsburgh .... Goooo Wings!!!

We could win the Cup 10 straight years ... we'd still hear today, "The Wings can't possbly win another ...". The NHL, the bandwagon jumpers all over Pittsburgh, the media ... all of them can hype the Pens, talk their bulls*** and print their articles. Once again, it's our guys in the dressing room and us - against them all. Go Wings!!!

Our depth trumps most everything. Ignore the hype. The Penguins HAVE NOT faced any team similar to Detroit. The goaltending. The experience. The skill. The right guys playing the RIGHT roles. Every year we hear this bulls*** and we are disrespected. Ev. Ver. Ry. Year! Yet every pro sports team wants to be us. Compared to us. Run like our organization is. There is a reason, once we get past the bulls*** hype machine that is the NHL, why we are the envy of everyone else. When I put on that jersey before each game, I know what that jersey MEANS. Everyone inhere does as well. From Gordie and his wonderful family through Marion and Mike ... The Captain through Vladimir Konstantinov, Jiri Fischer ... Mike Vernon .. Ozzie's resilence .. Bowman .. The Russian Five ..... on and on and on .... we've all been together as fans, like brothers and sisters, yet most of us have never met. But we bleed Red Wing red like we breathe air to live. We are family. I always wonder why people HATE the best sports teams. If my team scked, s***, I might not ROOT for another team much better than mine to win. But I sure as hell would respect them. And where should we start when talking about what's to envy about this organization?? It's a game - yes. But it's really much more than that. Geez, I see Stevie up in the press box these playoffs, I grin ear to ear and almost get teary-eyed. I LOVE this team!! Let's stand together. Fight through adversity like only Red Wings can. Four. More. W's!!!!!

Similar to Cindy Crosby crying over Ovechkin (THE BETTER PLAYER- you whiny sob), and too many hats being thrown on the ice after Ovie's hattrick, apparently he's now crying that the Penguins should be emailed any Detroit lineup changes, as soon as they happen ... Seriously though - we need all our guys healthy asap!! The NHL's bulls*** hype machine is already overblowing everything Crosby. Pul-leeze! The Cup is ours. Doesnt seem many remember a mere 11 months ago, huh? We will defend it!!! Go Wings!!!

The NHL never ceases to anger me that the final round of the playoffs will start Saturday and possibly Sunday for game #2 if we win tonight. Nope. Can't resist doing their part in helping Crosby, their sissy little suck winning his first Cup. Im not going go say it .. but if, IF we lose tonight, the Hawks still won't win three in a row against us. So ... Go Wings!!!
