Man the Pens board is just as bad as their coach...

[crotty99 302]

I was just checking out the opposition message board and came accross this gem

http://msgboard.pittsburghpenguins.com/ind...t=0&start=0

I really hope no one believes this argh makes me sick.

Before their coaches dummy spit after game 2 i never heard any mention of the wings being the master of obstruction, yet now the pens fans are acting as though they have been saying it all along.

Obstruction has become the new buzz word!

Wings in 5!

Did you hear their crowd last night? For a city that knows it's hockey, they sure let out a lot of whines any time a Wing came close or knocked down a Pen and no call was made.

What do you expect?

The three greatest players in the Pens' history were all whiners.

haha true, i guess i should not be surprised!

....actually i don't remember sammy ever whining?

I just cant believe someone can write what is in that thread and actually believe the words they are typing.

I wonder if they will cry about us obstructing when we are lifting the cup "OMGZ the wings are lifting the cup preventing it from being on the tableee!!"

I'm from KC, so last year I spent quite a bit of time lurking on their board, trying to get the latest info on their arena situation, hoping for the best. I think I maybe posted once or twice.

Anyhow, my experience is that they are some utterly classless folks over there. They weren't toward me, because I knew not to step in s*** while I was there, being a fan from a town that wanted an NHL team. But I came away with a new disrespect for the Pens fans on that board.

dont lump board writers in with the general population... pretty sure you will find some pretty classless people here, or in philly....... or anywhere

Yeah, that's why I made sure to specify I was talking about the Pens fans on that board.

Even when Dallas was down 3-0 in the WCF, you never heard them cry. Tippet & Co. were classy in the pressers...not happy at all, but classy. They gave Detroit the credit they deserved. Why is this Pittsburgh team (and fans) such babies? It really makes them look bad. Is that an East thing?

Where was all the obstruction last night? Makes MT look kinda foolish now, don't you think?

The Pens fans are complaining how boring the Wings style is (a la '95 Devils). Problem is, they are only watching one team play. I guess it would seem that way. But being an outsider, I think Detroit plays the most beautiful hockey on the planet. They are amazing to watch!

Detroit deserves the cup and all the hardware coming their way this year. They have been the epitome of NHL hockey and anyone who doesn't see that has their head up their five hole.

GO WINGS!! This is your year!

Actually, I wasn't whining at all. Just pointing out the facts. It makes no difference to me how much fans whine about calls or non-calls. I just found it very surprising since it's a town that is knowledgeable about hockey. It's the type of thing you'd expect from So-Cal.

we are still reeling from getting mugged by the flyers every game ha ha.. so if we fall IT HAS TO BE A PENALTY :-)

What about all the fans at the game last night? Just read this on the Freep and if this is true...

I was watching CBC last night. The network didn't show this, but Scotty Bowman did the ceremonial puck drop.

When Scotty was announced he was booed. Until the arena announcer added that he also won 2 Cups with Pittsburgh. Then he was cheered. Way to go Pittsburgh for booing the greatest coach in sports history, and for knowing your Penguins history and not realizing Scotty also won in Pittsburgh.

Wow.

At what age will said 5 year old learn to spell sentence?

I guess when your average Crosby fan is eight years old, you don't have any frame of reference. They probably would have booed Bob Johnson if he was alive because he was from Wisconsin.

Without him and Scotty Bowman, they were just another St. Louis Blues-type team.

[redwings1914 18]

Hmm, I wonder where these fans were when they almost bolted for KC??

Must be the economy

Like someone said earlier, we are not whining just stating facts. Besides, by your logic are you not whining about us whining about whining?

I thought I was the only one that noticed that. Good God. I kept yelling at the screen, "THATS NOT A PENALTY, SHUT THE HELL UP". lol

Sorry grammar police.

I was running a little behind on getting to a dentist appt. but wanted to check the forums.

The best explanation of the behavior of the Pens is socialism.

They exhibit the symptoms of a society trained to believe they have a right to things that in reality they have to earn, and that anyone who has it (i.e. success, skill) is somehow cheating.

Ya, you are right about that...some people get pretty carried away with the love of their team.

All in all, if you actually watch the replay of the game last night, you will see that the Wings made a couple mistakes (Stuart) which cost them 2 goals. Nothing against the Pens, hey that's how you win games, capitalize on the mistakes. However, the Pens were on their heels the rest of the game and it sure did go silent when Detroit scored the 2nd goal. I think in their hearts they know that Detroit has the much stronger team and should win the Cup...but it is not a gimme and the Wings have to win the next 2 to get it. They were definitely on the edge of their seats near the end of the game.

I'm a polysci major, I can relate anything to politics.

But it really does disgust me, this sense of entitlement the Pens seem to have.
