Title: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: byrnie on May 01, 2008, 06:26:27 AM
Just wondering if there are any people here into hockey, and which teams. Mainly so if I am playing CSS and watching a game I know which teams I can bash. Hopefully there are some other Det Wings fans

I watch hockey when it's on, I like it, but don't follow it that in depth.

The Flyers are my boys, let it be known, no team in the modern has ever gone from last in the league the year before to the eastern conference final...assuming we win this series =)

I'll root for them for you, I don't want the Canadiens to win, they've won enough for a long time. Wings should wrap up in Denver tonight

I watch hockey when it's on, I like it, but don't follow it that in depth.

At least you like it, there's not enough interest unfortunately, it's always one of the least talked about (of the major national sports) on sports networks. That's why I like going to Canada, sports centre (I even spelled it canadian) will show the hockey hilights and the basketball/baseball scores are scrolling on the bottom for a change  :sunny:

w00t sweep, wings are on to the second round. Plz tell me someone caught some parts of the game, zetterberg, franzen, and samuelson all had sick goals!

how can u switch what team you like...n00b

sometimes you gotta root for the lesser of two evils, which is why I would say go Rangers, not a Pens fan, and I also say go Flyers, as I'm not a Canadiens fan.

Toronto is alright, I like Mats Sundin, but beyond that, not too much to brag about

Post by: Elite_Prophet on May 19, 2008, 09:44:50 PM
looks like the pens should be worried, not byrnie...the red wings are like the yankees when they were great, they just buy old players to teach their young guys how to play...now the whole damn team is stacked..HACKS
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: tritt88 on May 19, 2008, 10:20:04 PM
its all good 7 game series itll be off the hook i cant wait!!! Lets go Pens!!!!
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: byrnie on May 20, 2008, 04:51:48 AM
This will prolly go 6 or 7, should be a hell of a series.

looks like the pens should be worried, not byrnie...the red wings are like the yankees when they were great, they just buy old players to teach their young guys how to play...now the whole damn team is stacked..HACKS

Indeed, and if Franzen comes back he'll be a big help. He has prolly cooled down but one goal could restart that fire! Go Wings!

that was just a taste of what the red wings are going to do to the pens this series =) like i said earlier in this thread
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: doublejz on May 25, 2008, 06:45:12 PM
naw, i just think they had too much time off since the last series, just wait.. it's gonna go 7 games with the pens winning :-P
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Elite_Prophet on May 25, 2008, 07:05:34 PM
that could definitely be true, why did they have such a long break
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: byrnie on May 25, 2008, 08:06:10 PM
So CBC got their saturday night hockey night in Canada, sucks because the Pistons and the Wings were playing on the same night in the same region, totally stupid on Betman's part. As for that game, the wings are old so they know what its like to play in a game like that. Pens are young, first game jitters, the rest of the series will be tighter I bet. I hope things continue like game one but I doubt it will!
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: doublejz on May 26, 2008, 08:50:49 AM
i agree, even tho sat nights game was an easy win its gonna be a close series. I just like giving people a hard time. Both teams are def. skilled and even tho i'm a pens fan (living in pittsburgh and all) i have a gut feeling the wings are gonna take the cup. Who knows tho, the pens have been doing very well with home games in the playoffs so far and could be the turning point in this series.

yea games one and two officially sucked balls!! but hey im no sore loser i give mad props to the wings defense its impenetrable   but they come to pittsburgh on Wednesday!  and double j i didnt kno ur from pittsburgh where at im close to ya!!
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: byrnie on May 27, 2008, 04:49:26 PM
Hell yea Prophet!

but hey im no sore loser i give mad props to the wings defense its impenetrable   but they come to pittsburgh on Wednesday!

Yea that's the difference so far, if the Pens send people to the net they'll do just fine, they have just never seen anyone collapse so quickly. If you watch closely, anytime the puck hits the Wings net, there are at least four Wings and almost no Pens to get the rebounds. On the other end, red jerseys are every where, oh and Filpula made one hell of an effort, man that was a sick goal!
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: tritt88 on May 27, 2008, 07:49:37 PM
yea wings defense is somethin we are not used to and obviously we dont like it the collapse is amazing i hate how you guys do that cus its frustrating but on the other side it works great so untill we find a way to get by the neutral zone we cant win. the shots on goal stat is just ridiculous 41 to 70 shots on goal in favor of the wings thats ugly!!   
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs

being from outside of detroit and living in michigan my entire life....go wings!  destroy the pens again! 

the pens have no answer right now for detroit's puck control style defense.  datsyuk is a freaking animal when it comes to swiping the puck and laying some hits this playoff season.  and going after malone after that cheap shot he took on zetterberg showed me that pavel isnt going to take any shit from anyone.  americanized he is becoming. 

i expect the game to be very chippy tonight after what roberts did to frazen and the lil scrum after the game when ozzie took a dive after sykora nudged him.  should be very entertaining.  cant wait!

Where in MI? I grew up in Rochester, went to school in Ann Arbor, and hope to find a job somewhere in the state even though it seems very doubtful.

Well Prophet, I'm a Wolverine so there is one weekend a year we can't be friends lol, but as long as Michigan isn't playing I am always pro Big Ten, and always pro Detroit!

Don't think it will be chippy unless Detroit goes up three zilch again. They are smart enough to not retaliate in the Finals, and the Pens are gonna come out playing solid hockey in their barn, but who knows. If the Wings score first it could be big trouble, its all about confidence in the finals

that was the way a stanley cup final should be played, hell of a game even if my team didn't win. Pens got that first goal so it became a game, Wings had a chance to bury em by scoring first but didn't, kudos to Fleury, he was great

wow we are being way to nice i mean our teams are in the stanley cup playoffs and were giving mad props back and forth haha its great, positive, competition i love it!!! but anyway it was a great game played from both sides i must say i was hopin for that third goal for yens i love overtime hockey its so nerve racking!! we'll have another great one on saturday cant wait LET'S GO PENS!!!!! :headbang1: :headbang1: :headbang1:

Wow, Rochester myself, but I didn't go to Rochester or Adams (Adams was in my backyard though), I went to Notre Dame Prep in Pontiac.

Now though I am living in Ann Arbor, just finished school and have a summer commitment but in the fall I may have to move away to find a solid job  :-(

yea this sucks majorly i hate osgood he is amazing i cant take it i just have to admit that the wings D is mad great ive never seen a defense so good it makes me sick... they are playin a better game of hockey that we cant match.  im not counting us out just yet my faith is unbelievable thats why this hurts so bad but once again mad props to them wings keep it up and yall got a cup... :|

Post by: byrnie on June 03, 2008, 10:25:33 PM
Seeing as my team wasn't on the verge of elimination I was able to enjoy the whole thing. Sucked when they lost but just knowing that at any second it would be time to bust out the champagne (oh and I bought it and had it on ice too) made it sooo exciting. The NHL has to be happy with a game like that, great hockey for sure. I almost, ALMOST, want it to go 7 games just so I get to watch more of that kind of hockey and have a win in Detroit, but I would definately take a victory in any shape or form. There were about 7 or 8 posts/crossbars combined in that game, just a quarter of an inch Charlie....
Title: Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs

boggles my mind how americans who love hitting and fighting and violence cant latch onto a great sport that is hockey. 

it was a freaking great series.  i was so freaking nervous last after that lame ass penalty to Hudler...and the goal.   but man...hockey like that is so great.  football is my fav sport but damn...after a series like that i think hockey has leap frogged it.  too bad i wont make it to the parade tomorrow....
