Detroit or Pittsburgh?

[SABURZFAN]

who do you want to win?

[The King]

Detroit.

[LtFinFan66]

Pens obviously

[OpIv37]

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.

[LtFinFan66]

:rolleyes:

[OpIv37]

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.

[LtFinFan66]

no i don't. have you noticed how anti-Pens the NBC announcers are?

[OpIv37]

no i don't. have you noticed how anti-Pens the NBC announcers are?

Well NBC isn't the NHL.

[BlackMetalNinja]

no i don't. have you noticed how anti-Pens the NBC announcers are?No, I hadn't, Crosby/Malkin Iso Cams must have blocked my view of that...

Detroit is my #2 team and clearly I want them to win.

[LtFinFan66]

No, I hadn't, Crosby/Malkin Iso Cams must have blocked my view of that...

Detroit is my #2 team and clearly I want them to win.listen then, don't look. guess you missed the Zetterberg iso cam then too

[Dr. Lecter]

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.

[BAM]

DET

[JD]

I hate the Penguins, but I see an upset tonight so I bet $250 on them. **** Crosby by the way.

[trapezeus]

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.

[SabreEleven]

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.

[Nighthawk]

Detroit...I just have way too much respect for the way that club is run and how they play.

[SabreEleven]

I'm too jealous of Detroit to respect them.

[SabreEleven]

Detroit just got Buffalo'd on that first goal....

[SabreEleven]

Shouldn't this game be suspended until Crosby can come back even if they have to play it tomorrow night or next week?

[SabreEleven]

Detroit needs to score soon if they want to send this game into OT.

[SabreEleven]

I smell OT!!!:pray:

[SabreEleven]

Somebody is going to have to commit murder in the last 5 minutes to get a penalty..

[SabreEleven]

Damn this game is exciting...I remember when this used to be the Sabres :sadwalk: Thanks, Larry Quinn..

[LtFinFan66]

Wings scored 2 total goals in two potential closeout games....but the refs are to blame of course

No credit to the Pens

Did you NOT see the missed icing AND the missed interference seconds before BOTH of Pittsburgh's goals? Oh wait, you're a Pittsburgh fan- of course you didn't see it.

[LtFinFan66]

man the Wings are a high quality chance in the last second when Fleury dove across the crease

[LtFinFan66]

Did you NOT see the missed icing AND the missed interference seconds before BOTH of Pittsburgh's goals? Oh wait, you're a Pittsburgh fan- of course you didn't see it.And you hate the Pens.....still- 2 total goals scored isn't gonna win too many games. They won-it's over= move on. You know I don't talk smack and I won't

[SabreEleven]

Man that was a clutch save...

Great, another Ex-Sabre has a Stanley Cup...

[SabreEleven]

Red Wings fans are totally classless.

[SabreEleven]

but it is pretty hilarious that they are booing Bettman...I'm ok with that...

[SabreEleven]

I wonder if Cindy thanked Bettman for rigging that lottery.

[OpIv37]

And you hate the Pens.....still- 2 total goals scored isn't gonna win too many games. They won-it's over= move on. You know I don't talk smack and I won't

It's tainted. It will always be tainted.

Now I'll move on.

[SabreEleven]

It's tainted just like the last two SuperBowl wins by the Steeler...they got tons of help from the refs also.

[LtFinFan66]

tainted:rofl:

you guys put an * next to everything don't you

[pjw]

Put a * next to it.

You for got about the 26 the yankees have too!

[LtFinFan66]

You for got about the 26 the yankees have too!yeah but I am talking about Bills and Sabres fans....baseball fandom is all over the place on this board

[pjw]

dont ruin it for me Dan, they are the only champions I got.

[LtFinFan66]

[SabreEleven]

Us Walterich's don't change our fandom for nothing...NO other teams exist to us.
