poxer 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 You are in the Stanley Cup Finals. Act like it. Play like it. This reminds of the wings in '95. Someone tell them that they are playing for Lord Stanley's Cup. Because its a one-sided game right now. Something needs to change or has to change if they want to win a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 What are you lobbying for on a Red Wings fan site? The Penguins aren't playing well at all, but the Wings have more than a little to do with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicada 4 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 it's got more to do with the Wings shutting them down than the Pens playing badly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lovin Jiri Fischer 147 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Just face it. The East can't hang with the West. The Pens were excellent against the Sens, Rangers, and Flyers. But they are playing with the big dogs now, and I don' t think they have it in them. They will win one, mabe 2 more but I doubt it. I'm disappointed though because I wanted everyone to say we won because we were awesome, not because the other teams were weak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm disappointed though because I wanted everyone to say we won because we were awesome, not because the other teams were weak. I don't think it's that the East can't hang with the West. No way Dallas or Anaheim or San Jose shuts down the Pens like this. I think it's more like the East can't hang with the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lfd250 1 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Ugh, is this the same group that said we were awsome right before the multi-game losing streak? Please, we are playing well, they aren't now can we keep it down for two more games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poxer 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Just for the record I am a Wings fan. But that doesn't mean I can't hope for an interesting playoffs. Sure I hope the Wings sweep but with two shutouts? Maybe more if the Pens can't find offense. This is unreal. It's like the Pens are handing us the Cup on a silver plater. Which I don't mind at all but I'm also a fan of the game of hockey and what the Pens are contributing to the series isn't NHL hockey. The Wings are just completely dominating them. Where did this so called Offense and Defense from the Pens go? Was it all just hype because they haven't faced anyone good or can they not get past the impenetrable wall that is Osgood or shut down the Euro Twins? I thought this was supposed to be a battle of Super teams. East vs West. But right now its just West. What happend? Did the Penguins give up long before they started Game 1 knowing they would face Detroit? Or are they a little bit nervous because for a lot of them this is their first Stanley Cup? What I'm saying is. Pens need to change the way they are playing right now or I can never take them seriously again or their bandwagon fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shannyfan1414 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 The wings are just better right now. They are playing like a team on a mission. They are trying to prove that they are the new Red Wings. The team that nobody thought could win. They are playing for pride and they are shutting the Pens down completely at this point. Zetters and DAts are proving that they can score in the post season as well as showing that they are as big of stars as the fools on the Pens, maybe bigger. Osgood is proving that the he still has a lot of gas in the tank. Lids is just being Lids. This team needs to win to prove that they are a good team. To get respect from the rest of the league they have to win. They are on a mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High horse? wtf are you talking about? The Pens aren't even playing hockey right now. Don Cherry said the same thing after game 2. But he also says we will see a different Pittsburgh team. I don't think so. I think they are stunned. I think they are shell shocked right now. Edit:Fixing ze grammer. Edited May 27, 2008 by poxer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I'm saying is. Pens need to change the way they are playing right now or I can never take them seriously again or their bandwagon fans. They were never really that good. They blew through 3 weak eastern teams and only lost 2 games in the process. Lot of people were not watching what was happening in the West and thought that the Pens 12-2 record meant they were better than our 12-4 record. That and the league hyped the heck out of the matchup to get the tv ratings. The 5 day break helped the case. Unfortunately the casual hockey observers were duped. They were expecting a battle for the ages and what they have seen so far has been a blow-out of the ages. I can here the tv's shutting off right now. I'm sure many Pens fans also weren't watching what was happening out West and they got the shock of their lives. Moral of the story is, don't believe everything that you hear or read. Lastly, the two best teams aren't playing. The Wings should be in the East then we could see Dallas-Detroit or San Jose-Detroit in the finals. Now that would be awesome.

I want more people to respect hockey as a sport because I love hockey. I want more people to watch hockey so they can understand why hockey is the greatest game on earth. But with the NHL all over the Penguins, its never going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about that but the Sharkies and Stars maybe. The difference is that these Western powerhouses are DEFENSIVE teams as are the Wings. Are you listening Pens. DEFENSE wins cups. I think that it was Scotty that said this and once again he is proven correct. We are winning because of our Defense first and foremost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
