jeff48109 474 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) that the Wings never goon it up when they are getting their butts kicked around (game 4)? Just awesome professionals. it seems that every team that plays against us feel there is a need to goon against us i think bettman was embarassed that the faces of the league he has been trying to promote were whiners and punks in game 5. crosby and malkin are too young and hotheaded to be leaders. the rest of the team took their lead seriously, the league should want to promote a team that plays the game so beautifully and gracefully like the wings. i freakin love the way the wings play and conduct themselves. maybe a note to the other teams is that is how you play the game to win! i think Babcock's statement last night at the press conference says it all Great teams don’t fall into traps, especially with so much on the line. So when Pittsburgh talked about the Wings looking old and tired before Game 5, Detroit never shot back. “When we play well do our guys talk about their team like that?†Babcock asked. by the way. i've been reading the board this playoffs but just registered one thing i'll like to add is. we still need to bring this effort for one more game! im sure the guys know that. and i know Dats was getting some heat for not scoring earlier in the playoffs, but i think the past couple of weeks have proven his value to the team. the team's puck control and passing improved dramatically with him in the lineup Edited June 7, 2009 by jeff48109 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lidstrom for life 20 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 Agreed. Just play hockey, don't talk about the other team. I know the wings aren't perfect but it is pretty rare that they lose their heads. Like you said Crosby and Malkin are just kids so you can't really fault them for losing their heads and taking stupid penalties. Lets just get out there and get it done in game 6.

Kira 451 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 Class will out. I'm proud of the boys for keeping their composure and hanging in. Let's show them how it's done Tuesday night. I'll be happy to see Marian Hossa carrying that Cup around the Igloo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
