sidthekid 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 wings fans are so ridiculous. if people don't bow down and worship the wings, you get mad. keith jones and engblom have nothing but good things to say about the wings. it sounds like jonesy likes Pitt in this series, but so what? the league does not center around you, despite the self-named hockeytown thing.

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 I've got to say though, that they're dead-on when it comes to the injury analysis. This series is a WHOLE different beast if Lidstrom, Datsyuk or Draper are missing for any substantial length of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SidtheWhiner, why do you continue to stay on our boards talking s***? Go back to the Pits forums. We are not getting mad when people dont bow down and worship the wings. Anyone with any common sense can see how the nhl hypes crosby, and hes the nhl's darling. Fans from every other team not named the Penguins knows that pens/crosby recieve favoritism. here is something to make you smile from last year: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-TownWing 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 I've got to say though, that they're dead-on when it comes to the injury analysis. This series is a WHOLE different beast if Lidstrom, Datsyuk or Draper are missing for any substantial length of time. Yep...since Lidstrom and Datsyuk apparently both have the same injury as Rafalski, where "day-to-day" means "miss most of a series," this quick turnaround and a back-to-back could bury us in a hurry. Until I hear that those two are 100% a go for game 1, I consider us the underdog in this series. You heard me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Fan_In_Exile 3 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 I think every fan of their home team, to some degree feels slighted in the media in some way. The thing is, this is the same group of people that seemingly pick the Sharks to win every year... I really don't give a s***e what they say at this point.

LOL the fans didn't name us hockeytown, its a trademarked thing. On another note, you're right, the league doesn't center around the wings. It centers around crosby. Look at the commercials with clips from the finals last year. They make it look like the penis won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSM 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) if people don't bow down and worship the wings, you get mad. Just like Sid doesn't get upset when every call doesn't go his way related to physical exchanges with defenders? It is also funnier than hell to me when the queen of divers (Forsberg) calls Sid out and he is on the verge of whimpering because of the accusation.

Firehawk 305 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) You'd think after 4 cups in 11, and about to be 5 in 12, the league WOULD be centered around the Wings a little bit more. After all, in the past 12 years, the wings have been the favorite to win the cup, EVERY YEAR. But you know, if I were just a casual fan of hockey, I'd never even know Detroit won the Cup last year.

Jonsey like every team that isn't the Wings. He has a grudge against the Wings because of the Bloodbath at the Joe. I'm pretty sure he was on the Avalanche.

sidthekid 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) you guys are making my point for me. in your world, people should worship the wings, but the league centers around its marquee star and YOU get upset. and the crybaby stuff is tired, old and rather uneducated if i might add. whether you call sidney a crybaby or not, he is the best player in the league and the league is piggy backing off him because he can save this dying sport in the U.S. even when the wings win, people don't care. people care if sidney wins. he is going to bring more people to follow the NHL, not zetterberg or datsyuk whom no one outside the NHL has even heard of.

That's not totally true. The Flyers were the favorites in 1997. Don't you remember all the Lindros blowing going on? Crosby is just another Eric Lindros.

ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 But you know, if I were just a casual fan of hockey, I'd never even know Detroit won the Cup last year. Yea I know. Very little media attention when it came to our championship last year. I honestly think a lot of that came from the fact that we clinched the Cup in Pittsburgh.......I dont know about you guys, but a Stanley Cup celebration just doesn't feel the same when you win it on away ice.
