Sharp apologized to Lidstrom after the finals

[pirateasaurus 0]

Good for sharp to apologize. I guess it's still not completely known if it was necessarily done on purpose but either way, atleast he made amends. I like the hawks team and would like to root for them but i find that the degree to which their fans hate us is too annoying to wish for much success for them.

And while Crosby was brought up, he should have apologized. I certainly do not think that he did it on purpose but he missed the traditional handshake with some our captain and other very respected veterans and it angered many people. He should have just said he was sorry and it was an accident.

Class move by Sharp.

The Hawks are also moving up on my like list. Its pretty tough to not like them. They have a lot of young talent and heart. ...Just wish we didnt have to play them so much.

I hope Lilja never apologizes to Sharp for kicking his ass.

Sorry doesn't pay the bill, Patrick.

At least he called him and apologized, crybaby crosby didnt call him

It is a men thing to recognize mistake you have done.

[SouthernWingsFan 854]

I get the feeling that it was an unintentional thing, since no one's been able to find video of when it happened.

This.

Unless this was maliciously done, it's hard to justify roasting Sharp's head on a barbeque pit with any logic, it'd just be for "fun".

I hate like everybody else on here that it happened, but we can't change that playoff game, he apologized after the smoke cleared and emotions have calmed down.

Nothing more he can do.

Every time we played the Hawks for years, I thought, Man, the Wings should try and get that guy.

On their roster.

While I don't condone what he did, it was manly of him to call Nick.

i doubt it was intentional on sharp's part to spear Lidstrom's testicles. hockey is a physical and fast-paced game. s*** happens. i dont think sharp needed to apologize, but good for him that he did.

now, if he intentionally speared him on the balls that's a different story.

[55fan 5,133]

I think it was a good thing to do. I just hope he apologized to Mrs Lidstrom as well.

[Guest micah]

Thank you. Now finish the thought in the PM's. Better make it a long one; you have a lot to explain.

Video helps clarify things greatly...

I don't like where this is going...

At least all's well that ends well. Nick is feeling better. Sharp said he was sorry. Nick already has kids. Mindfly is now looking up porn. Summer is upon us and with it the time to heal all injuries so that the Wings can come back with renewed zeal and vigor with a hunger for the Cup; ready to go balls to the wall, and equipped to do so.

Agreed.

Same here.

A classy move by this young player.

Are you paying attention, Cindy ? This is how nice people behave..

Apparently one guy is a man, and one is not.

It is fine for me actually. I have nothing against Sharp as much as I have something against Crosby. Besides, the injury can occur and whether it is done intentionally or not, it is good to see he apologizes to Nick. Good to see there are players who don't act like the ****** Lemieux.

This is refreshing to read, but it is the exception and not the rule. This kind of stick work (i.e., spearing) happens too often and the offender has two thoughts after it happens:

A) If I get a penalty, so what?

b) If I don't get a penalty, so what?

What is Crosby, if not a man (beside the only current Captain of a Stanley Cup Champion team in the whole world!)?

Jealousy will get you nowhere. The kid is awesome and can do whatever he wants because he is awesome. Sid gets to play by different rules than others because he is better than others. Important people play by different rules in this world. Get used to it.

Sid Sid Sid Sid Sid Sid Sid Sid!

I can't wait til next year when we can see more of him. He (and Ovy) will be even better next year! Gonna be a fun year to watch!

Man, I wish we had a young superstar to enjoy. It's been a long time since Feds came to us, I miss that.

No one here is stopping you from becoming a Pens or Caps fan and joining their boards. If you don't enjoy watching Hank or Pavel, you are free to find a team you do want to watch, and stop bothering Wings fans....
