SCF GAME 2 GDT: Penguins 1 at Red Wings 3

[titanium2 867]

I think the Wings will look at this whole back to back thing as a real challenge. They've never had to deal with this before in the playoffs and so I'm sure they'll look at it as an opportunity to learn about themselves.

Augh, I hate this back to back schedule! It'll be a true test to see what we're made up of! I don't care how you do it, just win this game! Going up 2-0 is huge! Keep getting into Crosby's head, he's getting frustrated!

Gooooooooooood Morning Detroit! I am here in Michigan getting ready to meet up with some of Letsgowings.com at Buffalo Wild Wings (in Troy next to Hockeytown authentics at NOON EST). If you can make it out! It'd be great to see you!

I can't believe I am getting ready to go to Game 2 of the SCF. This has been a life long red wing fan dream of mine and believe me it's lived up to all that and more. Last night was epic for me.

Let's go out and play 60 full minutes of Red Wings hockey.. SCORE.. PLAY HARD... no turnovers.. (err less turnovers?)

It's so great to see us in the SCF again. I love it. I believe in this team... Keep the pressure on the flightless birds!!!!

Let's go RED WINGS!!!!

[cupcrazy 13]

PLease play the ENTIRE game Red Wings hockey! Going back to there pond up 2-0 would be HUGE!

[Shaman 713]

5-2 Detroit

Lids x1, Leino x1, Hank x2, Hossa x1

[RedwingFan29 1]

Lets Go Wings!! Wings 3-1

Mule/Lids/Cleary

[titanium2 867]

We miss you!

[VM1138 1,921]

I think the back to back may help us. Pittsburgh is frustrated, they'll come out hard, but the WIngs don't appear to be tired or slowing down. They should come out dominating, on a roll from last night, and jump to an early lead. Then hopefully Pittsburgh will self destruct, we go to the Igloo up 2-0 and keep up the pressure.

I hope we go up 3-0, then lose a close game, just so we can win it at home. Winnign last year in Pittsburgh was a little bit of a let down, I want to see screaming crowds and fans!

[CanadaBoy 151]

I hope Pasha is back today!

LGW!

[#18 the _Hoss_ 2]

We got 13th for Dats, let's get one for Drapes !

4:1 LET'S GO RED WINGS !

[Glubki 17]

I hope Pasha is back today!

LGW!

According to Khan - he didn't come out for the optional skate this morning.

[BowHuntingFool 0]

Dats and Drapes out for game 2 as well!

Wings win tonight 6 - 2, sorry pens but the refs can't save you this time!!

[Casey 145]

In the spirit of anniversaries, I'm calling the same score as game 7 against Colorado in the 2002 Conference Finals. 7 to (square root of negative 1 - i).

[tdinc 45]

I have a vibe that the Wings will expose the Pens for the frauds they truly are.

Big beat down tonight. :octo: :octo: :octo: :octo: :octo:

6-1 WINGS

8pm seems so far away...............................

[PenaltyShot 96 521]

Second verse, same as the first...

a little bit louder and a whole lot worse (for Pittsburgh)!!

Wings - 2 (Cleary, Filppula)

Pens - 1 (Staal)

[seeinred 1,488]

Wings win 14 to 3.

Hossa with 7, Mule with 3, Leino with 3, and Maltby with 1.

Let's f***in' rage!

[Casey 145]

Wings win 14 to 3.

Hossa with 7, Mule with 3, Leino with 3, and Maltby with 1.

Let's f***in' rage!

You imply the great Oz will give up THREE? Foolish mortal!

*smites*

[bellarina 1]

4-0 Wings win!

Pittsburgh is just not as good as the Wings. Not on paper and not on the ice.

It's all hype!

This sounds about right.

[Krystal 41]

You imply the great Oz will give up THREE? Foolish mortal!

*smites*

+1

Ozzie is gonna look stellar tonight, and it's time for Hossa to make the Pens cry.

5-1 Wings; Ozzie only lets in 1 because who wants the pressure of the ___________ going into Pittsburgh? He'll save all that smack for Mellon Arena

[Firehawk 305]

I say the wings will win 4-2 tonight. Fleury has been exposed yet again. He's a horrible positional goalie, and the Wings are going to make him pay dearly in the rest of this series. All 3 goals he allowed were the result of his bad positioning.

[Third Man In 2,091]

Let's Go Red Wings!
