xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 They were all busy going to the store to return their jerseys. Of course they bought them all back this morning. Its funny you say that because I overheard a conversation in my office and this girl said she really wanted to get a Fleury jersey, but then he got blown out on Saturday and didn't want it anymore. Now she said she wants one again. LOL Afterwards, she said she's a fair weather fan. At least she knows it. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladifan 680 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 In a court of law, your "testimony" would be thrown out as hearsay. I'm hoping as a Wings' fan that it's just one more drubbing like our Game 7 playoff in '02 against the Avs. But I know and understand that's wishful thinkiing. Meanwhile, lotsa luck on being considered credible here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BewareThePenguin 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 It's hard to disagree. The Pens are going to extreme lengths to get the cup. Blatant slashing. Obvious tripping. Undeniable elbows to the head. All the things the league and Bettman have said won't be tolerated....are being tolerated, if it's the Pens committing the infraction. The refs usually put the whistle in thier pockets in the Finals, but can anyone deny that the Pens are getting away with murder. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but what is one to think when such liberties are taken and not held accountable? Sure, Cindy and the boys want the cup real bad. The only difference between their method of attaining it and the Wings method is class. The goonery must make Y'all proud. I would think after Saturday Night's whistle party thrown for the benefit of the Detroit Red Wings you might not still be complaining about the ref treatment. Oh well. You have to admit, the top poster has a point about that "we can't be beat with Dats back!" thing. Can't you just congratulate the opponent for a job well done, and look forward to the treat of having a Game 7? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 You have to realizethe drive of someone like Sydney Crosby. Throw the home ice out the window- the fact the Penguins have not won in Detroit yet just makes me more confident they will on Friday- law of averages fellas. And I have to tell you- life is sort of like the stock market- when conventional wisdom is so certain of a particular outcome you can almost bet the opposite is going to happen. I was listening to a talkshow the other day and Clark Gillies and some others were guests essentially saying Detroit was a lock to win it. LOL, this is the plot twist I was telling you about. It's just not in the cards for Detroit this year- a 1 game season to win the Cup!! Are you kidding me!? So much for Pens not being able to win with Dats in the lineup. Bottom line- Crosby wants this thing more than Zetterberg or anyone on Detroit. Sid is coming to Detroit and he's bringing hell with him!! I guess you weren't around last year when all the talk was about how the Penguins were "younger and hungrier" than the Wings, and all that hunger led to a two-game trip to Detroit, after which the Penguins left having not scored a single goal. I do find it pretty funny that you root for the one person that has more media exposure than the whole rest of the league combined and you can't spell his name right.

soonboomer 31 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Wasn't the "highly driven and motivated" Cindy Crosby -1 with a grand total of 1 shot in the Pens win in game 6? All that shows me is that Z is still dominating his ass.............just imagine what would happen if Z "wanted the Cup" as much as Cindy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-TownWing 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I didn't know posting logical assertions is "trolling". Your argument was basically "everything points to a Wings win, which means the opposite is going to happen, because Friday's Opposite Day." I'd like to hear how that's logical. Kind of sounds like the opposite of logic actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
