WingFanWithMyWingMan 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 Is it like.. because there are no more hockey games to watch? All we have to do now is incessantly moan about something fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things? Ok well that's my view anyhow, I understand it means more to some others of you out there but the thread is getting a bit lengthy for something of this nature. I'm getting visions of everyone here lined up on a huge porch, all on rocking chairs, some with pipes, slowly rocking back n fourth, all gossiping about the smallest things because there just isn't anything else to do anymore hehehe Man, seriously though, I'm bummed... no more games.. what ARE we going to do? *sigh* To make matters worse... I just got my email from ticketmaster...

asmith18 3 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 A bit unsportsmanlike, but thats the least of my worries. The refs all playoffs have been an embarassement to their profession and hope they realize they cost the Wings and a few other teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack T Adams 1 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 At least Pronger has class. Always shakes hands at the end. It's time for Pronger to get his name on the Cup. This is nothing new for Chelios. I've been used to his act since the early 90s. Go Ducks, and then it's time for the draft and the Blues three first-round draft picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Statts 4 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 This is the worst thing I have ever heard. Agreed. If Pronger has class, maybe he should start showing it some time. He is a great player, but classy he is NOT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Fan_in_KC 3 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) 19C...Who really honestly gives a f***, he was one of our top defenceman this series played his heart out with Schneider out, what is to you if he didn't shake hands?! I dont shake hands with ppl I dislike or have no respect for, so why should it be any different for him?! He's human liek us thers no rule sying u must shake hands, if he shook the coaches hands than clearly there was somethnig going on cuz Cheli Never does that, jump off hsi back and shut the f*** up its none of ur business why he didnt and rly we shouldnt give 2 s***s i think we got more impiortant things 2 worry about than why Cheli isnt shaking hands, such as why we could only play 1 full period of hockey in the most important game of the yr, next yr boys... REISGN CHELI!!!! GO WINGS GO!!! Ditto. I don't give a s*** why he didn't go through the line. His prerogative and I say, BRAVO, Chelios. What you should be worrying about are the comments that cheap shot Pronger, and wimp whiner Selanne made after the game. From The Hockey News: Selanne • and Chris “The Canadian Media Made Me Do It†Pronger • took some of the shine off their series win by complaining about the officiating. "When you have to beat the referees, too, it’s tough,†Selanne told USA Today. “When we’re getting penalty after penalty on pretty weak calls,†Pronger added, “a lot of guys were talking about conspiracy theories.†Fellas, you and your teammates have played some of the most undisciplined hockey (particularly in the second period of games) of any 2007 playoff team. You should be thanking J-S Giguere and your penalty-killers, not bitching about tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories. At least Pronger has class. Always shakes hands at the end. It's time for Pronger to get his name on the Cup. This is nothing new for Chelios. I've been used to his act since the early 90s. Go Ducks, and then it's time for the draft and the Blues three first-round draft picks. Class and Pronger used in the same sentence let alone PARAGRAPH?? OH MY GOD! Are you phucking serious? Dude, put DOWN the crack pipe and back away slowly. It's for your own good - trust me on this. Pronger is the biggest pice of garbage masquerading as a hockey player in the NHL today. He can't skate, he tries to take big hits when people aren't looking, he's a dirty cross checking mother effer and his "big point shot" ain't s***. How many reporters has he banged in Anaheim? Yeah, that's real classy. Oh and by the way, I'll PUKE if Chrissy Cheap Shot Pronger gets his name on the Cuip. What an act of tarnishment and defilation on the great Chalice. GO SENS!!!

RedRockit 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 He shook the Ducks coaches' hands-- that's enough respect shown right there. I highly doubt there was any disrespect meant to the players, or HE WOULDN'T HAVE SHOOK HANDS WITH THE COACHES who brought this group of players to the series win. For whatever reason, he skipped the on-ice bit, but I feel sure it had nothing to do with disrespecting any player. Not because I particularly think that he's too all-that sportmanlike to be an arse, but rather because just plain common sense tells me that he blew it off out of some expediency or other.

Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted May 24, 2007 This personally bothers me. I was playing in a HS game against our school rivals and the game broke into an all out brawl (this is an no fighting league) and after it was said and done, we all still shook their hands and they beat us 8-1. My point is, no matter what you should shake hands. No one is an exception from the rules. Most Wings fans have been complaining that the Ducks were 'classless'. Last time I checked, not participating in the hand shake is classless too. So if a somebody cross checked you in the face, knocked out all your teeth and broke your jaw you're saying you'd line right up to shake his hand? Sorry, but me thinks you're being a tad naive here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
