PaVel DaTsYuK fan13 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Awesome period with the exception of the turnover by Kronwall. Ozzie's got his game on. The wings need to be strong for the first five minutes of the 2nd so the Pens have nothing to build off. GO WINGS BRING IT HOME! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greetings from Blueland 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 I'm sick of the announcers saying they have no "personal preference." I would be fine if they openly stated they wanted s***tsburgh to win, but stop trying to cover it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cirov19 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 I was watching a video from 1998 when the Wings won the Cup in Washington to see the reaction from the home team and fans. If you think Engblom has the wild hair now, boy you should remember how it was in 98. It's out of control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Haha, thats pee-air's nickname. There was a vote. Ive had an account at hfboards for a few years now and a wings fan was giving away 4 playoff tickets to somebody that could get a sign behind Pierre that said "****** Canoe". Now me and my dad refer to him as so. And I now have something else to call my friends, haha. It was Paul Kukla of KuklasKorner, I do believe. Yeah,I'm getting terrible Finnish announcing. They desperately want to make love to Fleury,but I guess it's still better than listening to Pierre & Co. Really, no man-love for Flip and Ruutu? Too bad Antero Mertaranta doesn't do NHL games. I'd watch that over anything except Ken & Mickey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Oh I know, I am watching on CBC. The picture isn't as good as NBC but Edzo and Pierre are so bad that I have to watch CBC. Bob Cole might be old, but he calls a great game. The way he says "Scores!" is pretty great too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Detroit comprehensively shut them down that period. A few questions/comments: 1. Why are we the ones always getting thrown out of the face-off circle? 2. Fleuery is annoying how he always freezes the puck. 3. Kronwall had a shocking period.

PaVel DaTsYuK fan13 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 The wings have to play smart this period, they've already gotten more breaks that I expected, and I think we can credit that to Babs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sputman 1,268 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Oh... my... crow. Stop talking about the refs helping out the Pens, its seriously annoying. They make some s***ty calls but they have nothing against the Wings and if they do they will not show it while reffing. Nor are they being paid off by the team. If they were getting paid off this series would've been done, and we would not be happy. We are leading this series, we are going to WIN this series (tonight hopefully.) And there is nothing wrong with the NBC announcers either. They are not doing ANYTHING wrong. The network might suck, but honestly I find it kind of odd that a whole network could be 100% against a team. Good thing that NBC isn't, right. Some of you guys sound like the whiny Pens fans that we hate. Try and keep the it to a minimal. Just thought I'd clear that up. you've cleared nothing up, sorry. as you know, the nhl isn't doing so hot, not since the black and silver gretzky jerseys were selling like hotcakes. well, there is a new hotcake for sale, and a lot of people want to see it selling. the red wings represent consistency, which does the league no good. a graph with a straight bar near the top of the graph promises nothing but the same. the penguins represent that curving graph that shows unlimited potential. crosby is the driving force behind the penguins success so there is no surprises that his name is mentioned every 3rd word. of course the people who work for the nhl want the game to become more popular. they'd lose their jobs with the alternative.

FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Referees have been relatively okay tonight. Not happy about how that 5v3 occurred (and how we didn't get one shortly thereafter after the trip on Kronner), but Watson and Joanette are miles ahead of O'Halloran and Devorski. Thank you,Xanax! Decent 1st period. I'd love it if the Wings come out even better in the 2nd. Then even better in the 3rd. WINGS.WILL.WIN! QFT. We need to do just that. Pens too had a decent 1st in game #5 and fell apart later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
