SCF GAME 5 GDT: Penguins 0 at Red Wings 5

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

This game will ultimately kill the Penguins.

#1 You now have the Red Wings attention with your cheapshot sleazy hockey. They Wings don't play that way and tend to destroy teams who do.

#2 Where is Fleury's head heading into game 6?

#3 The Datsyuk factor. The Pens now MUST feel the Wings have an X factor they can't suddenly account for. Datsyuk is playing better than I think anybody EXPECTED. We HOPED he'd play this well but you know the Pens EXPECTED him to be less of an impact guy.

#4 Losing a 3-2 or 4-2 close hard fought game might have still given the Penguins the feeling they had after games 1 and 2. We're competing hard but just need to tweak a couple things. This is a complete destruction of their 'system'.

#5 Bylsma, how will the new rookie coach handle this undressing of his team? His two superstars have come unglued.

I think Babcock gave a foreshadowing of what change he made to swing this series when he was interviewed behind the bench in the first period by NBC's "Human Penis" Pierre McGuire, SLOW down the D to D passes in their own zone. No rush, just make sure you're making the right play, not the quick play. There is no need to always break out in a quick fashion. Hold onto the puck and take as long as you need to break down the Penguins forecheck.

CROSBY SUCKS!!!

CROSBY SUCKS!!!

CROSBY SUCKS!!!

The golden boy's days are through. What a show composure for the NHL elite Captin of the Pens. Bettman's probably pissed himself because he's so made right now.

I love it!

We all know Buttman was going to break up with Cindy to start going out with John Tavares next year anyway.

New York, even the Islanders, is a WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY bigger market than Pittspuke. More exposure = more $$$$$$$$

Oh no worries, an old boss of mine used to say an idea well stolen is a job half done!!!

Use it all you want. No prob

A few comments from the Pens boards

Re: STANLEY CUP FINALS G5 : Pensguins @ Red Wings GDT : 6.6.09

Reply #71 - Today at 8:42pm We all knew there were two players in particular on this team who would let us down in the big game...Fleury and Gill. Today they killed us.

I know what you are saying but if it goes to game seven then all bets are off for me. It's a one game series at that point. Looks like they are out there trying to hurt people right now. That is the right thing to do... whatever it takes. Swing at those ******* harder!

Reply #81 - Today at 8:54pm Put Fleury back in....if you're going to play like a piss-ant, we are going to treat you like a piss-ant.

Re: STANLEY CUP FINALS G5 : Pensguins @ Red Wings GDT : 6.6.09

Reply #83 - Today at 9:00pm Fleury got his average game in two days ago. Now he can go back to being the subpar player he's been all playoffs.

Lot's of homos over there. Hurt players? Nice. So essentially what they're saying is they can't beat an injured Detroit team? That's probably true...

Hopefully the Refs keep penalizing them...

Stay Classy Pittsburgh, haha. Man this must be so embarrassing for Pens players, coaches, fans, and Gary Bettman to watch lol.

I'm loving this man, what a game from the Wings. So glad to see Dats back out there doing his thing. Let's keep it going all the way to game 6 boys. GO OZZY!!!

[Vladifan 680]

Go, WINGS!!!

:rotflmao: Good work, Loo! Don't know how you did this, but it's Right On! And how prophetic!

Atleast if the Wings were down 5-0, you wouldn't see Datsyuk and Zetterberg going around laying elbows and slashings into people.

I know they're young and frustrated, but geez.. that is not the way to take it out.

Wings showed up tonight. I didn't expect this kind of game.

Still a period to go, and I'm not completely calm. Not before they have a 5-goal lead with 1 minute left.

Don't let up on the gas just yet!

[AFwinger 21]

I'm 19, Immature to be taking that s*** I know, but I always wanted to just try one cycle, and now that my hockey life is over, Im just focusing on getting bigger.

I do Hit and love it, and understand the Roids are dangerous, but I have proper PCT (clomid/nolvadex/liver boosters) so while the damage will still be done, it will be limited. So far I havent seen anything, no gyno, testicularshrinkage (thanks to the clmoid). The only thing I've seen is a 55 pld increase to my bench, 70 in my squat, and 18 in my body wegiht, while maintaing decent level bodyfat.

But thanks, it really is appreciated that people have my wellbeing in mind. Can't wait till the game starts up and we can See Crosby try to goon it up and get owned.

Wow you are young....yeah did that around 16 for football worked for awhile but no hard feelings just be careful not to abuse it and fall in love with it. Anyways I'll stop hijacking the thread...

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah especially after that game against them in the regular season.

I love Pierre's obsession with "You're never in trouble unti you lose at home."

Um....if the Pens lose at home they're out of the playoffs. I'd call that trouble.

The Pens can still be screwed without losing at home. I never bought into that. If the home team wins every game the team without home ice/court/field advantage is screwed every time.

[SuperNovaXll 124]

My friends were up my ass about going out tonight, and when I said that I was staying home to watch the Wings....gee did I ever hear it.

but....IT WAS WELL WORTH IT! LETS GO WINGS!!!

LOL!

[EuroTwin 240]

START OF THE THIRD... ******* CRUSH THEM WINGS!!!!

[SliderJeff 11]

It's STEP ON THEIR NECKS TIME! CRUSH KILL DESTROY! Looks like I got my wish to see MAF chased. Man, I love these guys. Let's make good decisions, protect ourselves and continue to smash the piss out of these f***ers. I still have a long list of Pens I want to see crushed and Kunitz and Talbot are at the top. The two "star" ******* are next... then there's Orpig and Cooke

[AFwinger 21]

If that slash was on his injured foot, the league should review that for intent to injure. Not that they will.

Yes, they did.

good point but they won't do anything he's on Crosby's team (ie Malkin)

[Konnan511 1,736]

Once Helm puts on 15-25 pounds...I fear anyone that he checks.

[catbox_9 1]

20 more minutes. Don't blow this one or I'll be killing myself.

[bonan78 1]

Wow, what a game so far. We definitely need to keep our foot on the pedal, no going into a prevent defense, that would be a huge mistake. We have 7 skaters without points so far, let's get them on the board please!!

[HudlerFanatic 4]

I love this game!

This is well worth staying in the house on this sunny, not a cloud in site, 68ish degrees in Kodiak Alaska!

GAME ON! GO WINGS!!! Score about ....hmmmmmm.....4-5 more!

LETS GO WINGS!

[selkie 10]

While it was nice that they did a d-day shoutout (wish I had CBC because I assume Grapes said something very nice) why couldn't they have given a nod to Bud Lynch for his service there?

[Dabura 12,232]

Haha, I love Hossa.

[Jasper84 333]

Lol Hossa what was that. Oh well, practice PKing
