Detroit.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Detroit or Pittsburgh?
I don't want Detroit to win because I'm sick of that "hockeytown" nonsense. Buffalo's twice the hockey town that Detroit is.
I don't want Pittsburgh to win because they already have the Steelers' SB and I'm sick of Crosby.
But if I was forced to choose, Detroit is the lesser of two evils. They'll have to beat the refs and the Pens though- the NHL doesn't want to see Crosby lose in the finals two years in a row.Comment

Re: Detroit or Pittsburgh?
don't tell me that you can't see how the NHL has a financial stake in Crosby winning. He's the 2nd most popular player in the NHL behind Ovechkin.Comment

No, I hadn't, Crosby/Malkin Iso Cams must have blocked my view of that...Originally posted by LtFinFan66
Detroit is my #2 team and clearly I want them to win.

Re: Detroit or Pittsburgh?
Detroit.
I am not sure that I would go as far to call them my #2 team, but I love to watch them play. Zetterberg is so good on boths sides of the ice.
Pittsburgh gets shoved down our throats too much. As does Crosby, considering he is not even the best player on his team. If Malkin got the attention he did, it would not annoy me as much. And I do realize how talented Crosby is.
But I think the Pens win.Originally posted by mysticsotoComment

I hate the Penguins, but I see an upset tonight so I bet $250 on them. **** Crosby by the way.“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.Comment

Re: Detroit or Pittsburgh?
i hate crosby. however, comically, i like the idea of Hossa losing after switching teams. however, in the end my hatred for crosby out ranks the hossa affair. i would rather have a team that wins it regularly get it again than to have the story line about crosby saving a team from bankruptcy.
I do hope this game lives up to the game 6 excitement.Comment

Re: Detroit or Pittsburgh?
I'm torn. I'm done with the Red Wings hockey town thing too I guess I wouldn't mind the Penguins winning because of that but than Pittsburgh just had the Steelers win. What I'm really rooting for is no blow out and would love to see 3 periods of OT. There is nothing more exciting than playoff hockey.Comment
