Hockey

Wings are looking tough.
Even as a Hawks fan, I'll say it.
They'll probably be hoisting the cup soon.
They deserve it I suppose, they are pretty damn good after all.

On a more positive note:

Blackhawks vs. Wings, 1-1-09, Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL

Woo hoo!!!!

I wave my flag proudly regardless of the outcomes.

I can't stand the redwings, and honestly I like watching Malkin (Crosby=meh in my eyes).

I'm a Bruins fan, my girlfriend is a Habs fan. At least she's not a yankees fan too!

What was up with NBC's Crosby love-fest last game? There are other players besides the kid playing in this thing.

Besides, he is still young. He might be up there with the greats, but it is still too early to nominate him to legend status.

Hopefully the Red Wings will check him a bit more on Saturday. Freaking kid is annoying the hell out of me.

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

Hes been at legend status for 3 years already. Its annoys me so much I will now start drinking.

He is a winer but he is talented. There will never be another gretzky so they need to kill that right now. If it came down to any young gun in hockey to pick for my team.....Id pick Ovechkin he is amazing.

 

[eriktlupus]

how dare you rick the one and only pick for your team should be either datsyuk or zetterberg end of story.

crosby is still learning how to be a two way player same with ovechkin

hey man, I just love watching Ovechkin, But your right I should pick our duo! Damn Me

 

[Joe C]

After seeing Ovechkin point out a Washington fan (IN BOSTON, mind you) and have the fan return his stick based on superstition, I lost a lot of respect for him. Just childish in my opinion. Great player, but Ovechkin and Crosby have a lot to learn.


Hockey is looking for the golden boy - someone that kids who haven't had a true blue hockey player hero to look up to. Crosby is one hell of a player, but there is tons of talent in the league that should be recognized and appreciated. We are in the dawn of a new era in hockey. Personally, I don't think that Hockey should continue into late may/early June as fans drop off to watch Baseball, but changing that won't happen.

I found this, funny as hell.

I didn't watch the NBC feed, but I agree with you. I don't think he should even be the captain. Gary Roberts is the anchor of that young team. But not everyone agrees:

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

I love that last quote, "Maybe my Dad will pick me up some Molson since I paid off his house and all."

 

[Flyin' Lion]

Wings up in the series 3-1. This should end like their last Stanley Cup with the win in their own stadium (Scottie Bowman's retirement, no less).

 

[Ryanh1801]

Is it just me or are the wing's looking sloppy tonight.

Damnit, I say that then they get scored on!!

 

[Joe C]

Detroit definitely looks sloppy so far.

 

[capcrnch]

National
Penguin
Coverage
Has annoyed me again, but this is some great hockey.

The Penguins came to play!

 

[Flyin' Lion]

It's me. The first game I watch and their losing--it's my curse.

 

[Revvy]

Revvy's not happy...

 

[capcrnch]

 

[Ryanh1801]

Revvy's not happy...

same here, Im getting pretty pissed. I have been yelling/throwing stuff at the TV all night. Its making me want a beer, but I told my self no beer until Friday.

 

[Revvy]

TIE GAME!!!!

I'm slightly happier now

Ryanh1801, I hope you didn't break your tv before they scored.

 

[Revvy]

3-2!!!

 

[Joe C]

That is a riot!

Totally different game than the first period. I'm pulling for the penguins

 

[Ryanh1801]

Ahh I can breath again!!!! Looks like they finally pulled their heads out of their asses. Good job Wing's.

 

[Yooper]

Tie game!!!!

 

[capcrnch]

Crap.

I knew this damn game was going to be a triple overtime.

 

[Revvy]

I can't freking believe it....35 seconds to go...geez.

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

that it ****ing amazing!

 

[Joe C]

Ahh I can breath again!!!! Looks like they finally pulled their heads out of their asses. Good job Wing's.

lol, I was hoping I was going to see at least one of these posts.

Penguins need to get back into the game though, their goalie is keeping them in it right now.

 

[Ryanh1801]

Now this is a hockey game!!!!!

 

[arturo7]

I predict Malkin.

 

[capcrnch]

Yesterday 10:40 PM

Crap.

I knew this damn game was going to be a triple overtime.

Now im just hoping its triple OT and not something silly like 4 or 5 OT's

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

I predict Sykora.

 

[Ryanh1801]

That was a hell of a game, regardless of who won.

 

[stever]

Damn, you can't take that penalty.

 

[stever]

Great game though.. This is why hockey is the greatest sport on earth.

 

[arturo7]

Gonchar, injured in the third, comes off the bench to pull a shift on the OT PP. Gets an assist on the game winner. That's a hockey player!

I second that, this has been an awesome series. How the pens keep pulling them out I have no idea. But MAF is god.
