phish phan 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Rangers Fan here just saying congrats Wings you guys are still the champs in my book and are a class organization truly the NHL's best. How many teams would even make the SCF or go to 7 games w/o their best player (datsyuk). As a fan of the NHL i despise the pens probably because they are Bettmans favorite team they got so many calls this series , the 7 men on the ice for 25 secs comes to mind lol . Once my rangers bounced (early as usual) i wanted nothing more than to see Hockey town raise the cup again. I am sure you guys will be back for another go at it next season with a good mix of youths and vets and I hope that if my rangers bounce again (high probability) that Nikky Lids will be hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup and not that punk Crosby. GL next year and enjoy the off-season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the support=). Although I don't agree with the 'hosed' thing. Penguins won pretty fair. Injuries and fatigue really took a big toll on us=( Edited June 14, 2009 by Carman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms_Hockey 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Thank you both for the support. Sometimes I feel like we're just spoiled and angry that our team lost.. but after Talbot got a goal off of a waived icing call.. I gave up. I don't like complaining about the refs, but the officiating was horrible, to say the least. Your words are HIGHLY appreciated here. Trust me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GL next year and enjoy the off-season Thanks for supporting the Wings. I did some browsing last night on other teams' message boards, and it seems the only teams that were rooting for the Wings were the Rangers and Flyers. Surprising, because it always seemed like everyone hated the Pens and Crosby. Oh, and Washington's forums supported the Wings, too.

SuperNovaXll 124 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks for your support! It seems like a lot of Ranger fans have wished us well this past week or so. Guess there is a pretty popular dislike for the Pens from fans of other teams around the NHL. Good to know it isnt just us. Good luck to you guys in the up coming year. Im also from NY so I get to watch a lot of Ranger games, so im rooting for you guys in the East. Us fans of original 6 teams gotta stick together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks for the kind words. I've always said if I wasn't a Detroit sports fan, I'd be a New York (Yankees, Rangers, Giants, Knicks) guy, so I have a soft spot for the Rangers and cheer for them in the Eastern Conference (I don't mind Buffalo either). All the best to the Rangers next year. Take down those Penguins! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know I watched the game again yesterday while I was eating lunch in the bar, The "waved icing" thing is bunk. The play was close, there was never an indication of icing and Stuart played the puchas if there were no icing. He fumbled it, Malkin got it to Talbot and Ozzie was late getting hi stick on the ice.
