    Unhappy living in p-burgh

    God, this is annoying. Watching Sidney Crosby hoist the Stanley Cup, as a western NY native living in pittsburgh, it's so frustrating to watch this city win championship after championship. I wish we knew what this felt like!

    The Pens picked 1st or 2nd from 2003-2006, acquiring Fleury, Malkin, Crosby, and Staal.

    Though mainly they won it because Bettman said they had to win this year and the officials have been giving them everything all year.

    **** the Penguins, and **** Sindy.

    It did seem that there was some intervention on the league's part on which way that series was going to go. The refereeing was some of the worst I've ever seen...and it definitely helped Pittsburgh.

    The first Pens goal was off a missed icing call.

    Honestly, I could care less and you are clueless. I'm just pointing out what anybody who knows hockey could see.

    I wish he'd step in and bail out the Bills and the Sabres. They're so poorly managed that I think even the government could do a better job. Hell, I'd even be willing to give FEMA's "Brownie" a chance at being in charge.

    You guys do know we have a Sabres boad here, right? It's hard to tell as we'e SHUNNED! A SabresZone link would look nice next to "BillsZone" at the top. Maybe replace the BZ on MySpace link?

    MySpace is so 2006.

    Re: living in p-burgh

    I saw this series and I don't remember any calls going the Pens way. After game 5 you could tell the Wings were dead tired and their lack of scroring really showed. They didn't have many chances from here on out. I wouldn't be surprised if that team is blown up and an influx of youth starts this offseason.

    I guess you weren't watching the 2009 Stanley Cup...you must have been watching the 2008 playoffs!

    Dude ALL sports are RIGED remember the Dallas game 6 that was no goal but the NHL felt no need to look at a goal they had looked at all year and felt it was just easier to give the Stars the cup.Soon our luck WILL change and i will be there when it does and if not my kids will. GO all Buffalo Sports.

    Oh I watched it all!!! Please compare this Wings team to last year's. Ya, I thought so. Last year they absolutely dominated and never looked tired.

    game 7, the pens had more penalty minutes than the wings. how is that the refs handing the pens the game?
