Red4wings4life 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Seriously How many times does it have to be said. Defense WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS. PERIOD. Defense in hockey includes goalies. This is true for all team sports. It is very clear after 2 games that the Wings have the better Defense and Goalie. Flurey is a weak goalie, he cannot play on the big stage. That is clear after last year and so far this year. Crosby proves yet again that he is the most over rated superstar in hockey. Superstars raise there game in important games and Crosby has proven time and again he cannot raise his game. Look at last year in the Finals and so far this year. You cannot be a superstar in this league unless you raise your game during the most important games. The Wings are winning Cups because Holland got the memo that Defense wins Championships.

Red4wings4life 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) I never said we were going to win it or we did win it. I said that after 2 games it is clear that we have the better Defense and the better goalie and those are the 2 things you need to Win the Cup. Period. I know we only have 2 wins and we need 4. The Pens are not done, not by a long shot but lets face it, unless the Pens step on the Defense and Flurey starts playing like a real NHL goalie, they are screwed.

Sneaky Pete 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Crosby proves yet again that he is the most over rated superstar in hockey.[.quote] You tarnish a tiny bit of the rest of the hockey fan's here with dumb comments like this. Everyone is a little bit dumber for having read your opening post. Two games into a series on away ice against an astonishgly good defensive Wings team and Crosty is "the most over rated (sic) superstar in hockey. I'd mail you a nickel to buy a clue but Obama already sent most of my money to Detgroit to bail out the automakers. So, I'll give you a freebee, he has the mnost goals and the second most points of anyone in the NHL in the playoffs. That is, for your reference, 8 points and 3 golas better than Franzen. Is he the best player in hocket today? Most likley not. Is he overrated? Most certainly not. Edited June 1, 2009 by Sneaky Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 Crosby proves yet again that he is the most over rated superstar in hockey. Crosby is playing well. Osgood is just playing better. If anything Crosby is overhyped, but he is in no way overrated. He does exactly what everyone says he can do: he scores, he makes plays, he's becoming more complete as time goes on. Usually the knock against Osgood is that his defense makes him look better than he is. Well this year it's the opposite: the team defense is weaker than before but Ozzie is lights out. The Penguins will have home ice and all the tactical advantages that come with it for the next two games. The Wings don't look like they'll be getting Datsyuk back so they won't be getting any better than they are. The Wings really need to tighten things up a lot to close out this series.

Defense often wins championships. It has only been 2 games so far though, and it takes 4 games to win a series. Saying that Crosby is the most overrated superstar in hockey is a bit of a stretch.

You didn't stomp us in Games 1 and 2 like you did last year. This series is very far from over. Don't be surprised if the Pens sweep at home. Correction, the series is most definitely not very far from over. Pens need to win 4 games, the Red Wings only 2, and not to put too fine a point on it, but dude.. you're only up 2 goals from where you were last year at this time, and one of those goals Brad Stuart gift wrapped for you. I for one will be surprised if they take both games at home because honestly, I expected more from them than whining over not being given a penalty shot and resorting to picking fights out of frustration. I thought they were experienced now and confident. Confidence doesn't throw tantrums. See the Detroit Red Wings.

Last game was not so stellar but he has a weak defensive corps in my opinion not to mention he is very young and is yet to reach his prime. he is very athletic and his reflexes are amazing. with out fleury the pens don't even make the finals IMO.
