haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted June 19, 2007 Yeah, it is. You can thank some of the morons in here who continue to ***** about it. No kidding. Now Buffalo being this bitter when Dallas won the Cup, I understand. But still being this pissed about losing to the Ducks, I don't get. It's disappointing, but the Wings had a great season overall.

glasgowcelticwing 18 Report post Posted June 19, 2007 I thought by now we could have some fun about the Ducks denting the Cup and make a few jokes, without it turning into a "They don't deserve the Cup" thread. I guess it's still too soon?? Some of the guy's on here really need to let it go ,Sure we lost I'm as disappointed as the next guy , but they are taking it to far with alot of the BS.

Flip-check 6 Report post Posted June 19, 2007 Not the first time it's been damaged and it won't be the last. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditions_an...p#Misadventures You'd hope not. The stories are gold and there aren't enough of them. "The Stanley Cup -- does not float." This isn't all that funny a story from the link, but it's absurdity wins it major cred: In the Chicago Stadium, in the spring of 1961, the Montreal Canadiens were losing the final game of a Playoff series to the Chicago Blackhawks. A Montreal fan in the stands could not stand it so he left his seat, ran down to the front lobby and broke into the glass showcase where the Stanley Cup was on display. He grabbed the Cup, hoisted it over his shoulders and made for the exit before he was arrested. In court, he explained his behaviour to the judge: "Your Honour, I was simply bringing the Cup back to Montreal where it belongs." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DetroitIan Report post Posted June 19, 2007 youre just taking it as another oppurtunity to whine about the Ducks. By the way, maybe you missed it but ive asked you a couple times about whether or not you thought Jiri Fischer's crosscheck in the '02 Finals was classy. Whats the word? Damn right I am. I hate the Ducks, therefore I will rip on them every chance I get. You tend not to give props to a team that you hate. If you wanna cry about me ripping the ducks I can send you some tissues. Otherwise deal with it. Cause I will continue to hate them. Oh and about Fisch, yeah it was a pretty dirty crosscheck. But whats your point? Fischer doesnt play for us anymore. Not to mention Fischer had never done anything as dirty before, and has never done anything that dirty since. So to even compare Fisch to the Ducks who were CONSISTANTLY dirty from day 1 of the regular season up until the end of the playoffs is just laughable.

The only guys even close were maybe Todd Ewen or Garry Valk, and they were mostly fighters anyways, not dirty players. Bad comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can barely even admit it was dirty, how can you anyone even take you seriously when you have such blinders on? Im sure if say, Corey Perry had done that you'd call it "pretty dirty"? I think its a very just comparison, i think its funny that you go on and on about how the Ducks were classless in the playoffs, and heres a guy who was suspended for the '02 Wings Cup team for cheap stick work. If you're gonna label an entire team as classless because of what Pronger did, and I assume May, i just think you should have to label the entire '02 Wings playoff team the same. Ducks had 2 players suspended, Wings had 1! Do me a favor and post every player on Anaheim that you consider cheap and classless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just think its completely laughable to compare the '02 Red Wings, to the '07 Ducks. Sure they had 2 players suspended in the post season, and we had one. Big ******* whoop. How about the fact that the Ducks started their "dirty" play from day 1. Just because they didnt get regular season suspensions doesnt mean they werent playing dirty. I ******* watched them all the time with NHL center ice, and thats why my hatred for them is as strong as it is, because I already began hating them well before the playoffs even started. So all the s*** from that point on was just adding fuel to my fire. One post season suspension for us in '02, is far different from the '07 Ducks and their classless play from October-June.

Hating the Ducks? Fine. Bagging on them and calling them even more disgraceful just because they might have dented/nicked the Cup, when anybody/everybody from past teams and past celebrations have done it, is stretching that hatred a bit overboard.

Probably. But when it comes to talking about my most hated team in years, I try to take every shot I can at em. This year for me was devastating after we lost our series against them. Then to have them win the Cup? I was just mortified. I just hate everything about them. So sometimes the smack-talk flies. But yeah prolly a lil overboard. In my eyes, they deserve it.

Lucidi is that you??!?!? *backing away slowly* I hope that's you showing a wry sense of humor. and let's be honest here folks, if the Wings had a team like the Ducks, this town would love them. Wings fans wouldn't stop watching because they weren't "classy." Bruise Brothers anyone? the Bad Boys? Detroit would worship a team like the Ducks. It's hard to admit it, but true. The only guy I truly hate on that team is Pronger. Hated him in St. Louis when he had no chance of winning the Cup, hated him in Edmonton, hate him even more after this season. For me he used to be the guy you love to hate, but would also love to have on your team. Now, not so much. Edited June 20, 2007 by haroldsnepsts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
