Zeowingsfan 16 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 I think what the op is saying is that our fans showed respect when the Pens skated around with the cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceMunkee 15 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 Maybe it is the level of "class" they are showing the Lord Stanely. It is kind of a big deal and you may only get to see it once in your life... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayUp88 1 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 ohhhhh got it now. So does that make me a bad person that I stayed and watched them skate around the cup. I will forever be able to say that I seen the Cup get awarded on ice. I can't say it was the team that I wanted to see win, but I still got to see history made.

One4TheWings 11 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 I told my wife that night. "I guess I'm really a HOCKEY fan, as much as I am a Red Wings fan"... because even though it wasn't Detroit and I was hollowed out inside, I still had to crack a smile when the Stanley Cup was lifted. Sure, I'm disappointed it wasn't our guys - but it's still the realization of some dreams. If you can't be happy about seeing someones dreams realized then I think you need to take a look at yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was glad to see some of those guys getting their chance to hoist it (Gonchar and Guerin mainly, although Guerin already had). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 Seconded. I was glad to see some of those guys getting their chance to hoist it (Gonchar and Guerin mainly, although Guerin already had). God help me, throughout the whole disappointment and shock, I wasn't angry with the rest of the Pens. Crosby lifting the Cup was nauseating, but as a hockey fan I had to watch. The sheer joy on Malkin's face made even me a little (but only very, very slightly) warm inside, before they again cut to Crosby and I had to fight back vomit.

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 I didn't watch any of the post-game trophy presentations. I couldn't stomach it. Sure it's great to have a dream fulfilled and all that jazz, but if it ain't Nick and the boys holding it, I have no desire to see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, sorry but I couldn't care less about Crosby's dream being realized. Still haven't seen any video of the presentation thankfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RusDRW 155 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 I didn't see any post game presentations. I haven't visited nhl.com and tsn.ca after saturday's game. I'm perfectly sure they have nothing for Red Wings fans on their sites. The league wanted it and they finally passed it to Cindy. Good for them. I don't understand Red Wings fans in this picture as well. When it comes to the Stanley cup play-offs, I'm not a fan of hockey, I'm a fan of my team. Because of these people NHL officials feel they can do whatever they want to the game I love. And there was one more for reason for me to want us to win this season. I just wanted to see what NHL is going to do with the rules and officiating next play-offs to give it to "the best player in the game" who "rightfully deserve it" and is a "generational talent"...

Guest micah Report post Posted June 15, 2009 I can identify as many Pens fans as Wings fans in that picture, I'm not sure what it's supposed to illustrate? That the Pens fans travel well? That so many Detroit fans ran crying to the parking lot that the Joe's remaining occupants were a 50/50 mix of home and away fans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, I think it was 90% booing Bettman and 10% booing Crosby. A lot of the Wings fans stayed the whole time, and there was a big cheer for Mario lifting it up. If memory serves, the Wings fans even booed Bettman in 2002 when the Wings won the Cup in game 5 at the Joe, and he had to say something to the effect of, "I come bearing gifts!"

Mickeyisms Rule! 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 this is a nice post. congrats on a spectacular season and hope to see you again next year. just curious though....... were the resounding boo's during the cermonies for the pens or for bettman? Mostly Bettman. When Bettman was speaking, there was nothing bu boos in the crowd, but once Bettman was gone the boos pretty much went away. I think that there were a number of people that were booing Sidney- because many of the people around me watched him the whole time before he got into the handshake line and couldn't believe that he hadn't gotten in line to shake hands and was so preoccupied with celebrating with members of his own team. Why is it that every time I begin to not despise Crosby that he does something else boneheaded to make me start to hate him again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickeyisms Rule! 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 im guessing because you are looking for reasons to hate him You would be wrong then. I am not actively seeking reasons to like him, that is for sure, but like I said, I had pretty much gotten over the hating him part and then he goes and pulls a boneheaded thing like not using his brain and following the tradition of sportsmanship until someone finally reminded him that he had to do it. I was not among the fans shouting "Crosby sucks" when he got hurt. He played a hard fought series and was the captain of a Stanley Cup winning team. But as the captain you are required to show leadership to the rest of your team. He should have been the first in that line, not the last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
