Wingfan191 2 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Relax guys, you DO realize that Burnside is covering the Penguins while Hradek covers the Wings right? They've been assigned each team to cover which is why their articles are team heavy towards the team they're covering. They said this during one of the NHL Minute clips after game 1 or 2 (can't remember which one). Some of you need to realize that you need to cover BOTH teams in the finals and write interesting stories to gain readers. So the team that's down has more to write about as to how to come back and win instead of writing about the Wings and saying the same damn thing every time (just stay focused, stick to our game plan, blah blah blah).

Phazon 24 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 We could win the cup, sign Gretzky himself out of retirement, go 82-0 amass every single individual award possible and we would still be back page material. that's ridicilous to say because it isn't true. if you got crosby next season you would get all media hype with him even if your team would be called the Huckleberry Hounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CAWingsfan25 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Personally, I could care less what Burnside or any other analyst says about Detroit, the Pens or the series. I would rather have them spout about how great the Pens and Crosby are while watching them lose their shot at the cup than have them spew that bulls*** and have it be true. Fact is, we're up 2-0. not them. And no article, or analyst can spin that in the Pens favor. That said... I am so effin sick of hearing about Crosby and Malkin. It's only hard for me swallow that bulls*** because our boys work their asses off day in and day out with no recognition. It's the wings that are fighting for the cup. The wings are DOING THEIR JOBS and SUCCEEDING. In my book, this is the SCF, and that deserves recognition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esteef 2,679 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 The Wings actually don't get that much attention compared to other teams, they're expected to win. They get more media coverage when they're losing if anything cause it's so shocking. When they're winning, it's boring to the media. "Oh yay. The Wings win the West...AGAIN!" They got more coverage during that losing streak when Lids was out than anytime all year. Oh...and f*** Burnside! esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FedorovWingsFan 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Seriously, ESPN's Scott Burnside must be the biggest Wings hater or the biggest Pens homer I ever seen. He is writing like three articles a day about his Penguins and what must be done in order to beat the Wings. You know, I thought these news channels would be a bit more objective and all, but it is pretty clear that everyone wants to see the leagues golden darling wins his cup. It makes me very annoyed, as the Wings barely gets any credit at all. The pens can have the media attention. I want another stanley cup banner in the joe. Give me that banner and the pens can have all the media attention they want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Hradek on made an excellent point about this on XM today. Right now, after losing two games, it's all "What's wrong with the Penguins?". But, god forbid, Pittsburgh wins the next three games, it will suddenly be "What's wrong with the Red Wings?". The media has more to talk about when it comes to the underdog.
