Joe Louis and a boxing reference

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I find it ironic the Penguins come in to do battle with a very formidable champion in Joe Louis Arena tonight. The other night a boxing adage came to me which I think holds true in this series. "Once a scared fighter gets brave, he doesn't get scared again" I think the Penguins found their soul and guts when Staal turned the series around with his shorthanded goal. Not to say it will be easy as I expect the Wings to try to deliver a knockout punch at home in the first 10 minutes but I stay with my prediction I've had since game 2. Pens in 6.

If you quote is true, then that means Staal's goal means s*** for game 5... because Detroit is past the "scared fighter" phase. I think you are confusing the Detroit Red Wings to a very inexperienced hockey club. I hope the Penguin players think like you.

blah blah blah penguins suck *Edit* blah blah

welcome back to the joe. best of 3 now with a possible 2 in detroit. good luck.

dats is back!

play 7 playoff games without malkin or crosby...see if the pens are even still around with their 2 man show

True, take Malkin out of there line up and, Bingo Bango, pens lose in 4.

Take Dats out of our line up and , Pens Win 2 games instead of 1, and the wings win in 6 instead of 5.
