Title: Penguins vs Red Wings last night
Post by: Joker on June 03, 2008, 08:21:09 AM
Yeah i\'m Canadian which means I have to love this stuff. By law.

Anyways...HOLY SHIT...last nights game was awesome.

Been rooting for the Pens this series and last night was one of the best stanley cup games i\'ve seen. Wings were up in the series 3-1, last night, need the win to take it and with 34 seconds left in the final period Pens tie it up.

Pittsburgh played fantastic last night, espeacially their goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. Fantastic job. Looking forward to the next game with the Pens on home ice.

Is hockey even still a sport?
I didn\'t know if it was still played or finally just died.

My main game of choice would have to be football. Or soccer as North Americans like to call it.

Theres a good reason why the NFL is considered boring as fuck to every country outside of America and to a lesser extent Canada. Maybe one of you football fans can clarify the name thing for me, why take a game where you predominately use your hands and name it football?

Redardless i\'d take a baseball game over a football game any day. Its like watching paint dry with the  stopping every 10 seconds. But now we have the same debate going on in two threads about the same thing sorta (Luke\'s cubs thread)

So anyways back on topic...PENGUINS ROCK!

Crosby has taken a beating this series from the wings and the guy (I forget his name) who took a puck to the face is pretty tough. He was playing again by 3rd period I believe, 2nd time he has broken his nose in the series so far.

I started watching the game with a minute left to go, and it was rather exciting.

Really was a great game.  I\'m glad the Pens pulled it out.  I love how Petr Sykora (I\'ll bet I spelled that wrong) called his shot.

the pens should change their name to Pittsburgh "dump and chase because we can\'t beat the neutral zone trap".

sydney, whether you respect him or not, is the future of the NHL market.

gretsky, lemiuex, now crosby.
skill isn\'t enough, you need the appearance.  
think the NHL wants ugly ass ovechkin to represent them?

sydney is great..... but he is no better than at least 10 NHL players.... so why put him on this pedestal and create this huge aura around the guy?  cuz he is marketable?

Post by: mm on June 05, 2008, 03:05:13 PM
exactly!  the NHL wants to push a finesse style game and crosby fits right in line.

he\'s easily within the top 3 players in the league and would have won the scoring title for the second year if not for the injury.

Crosby is the future of the NHL. If they want to be viable at all with the big 3 they need to market him like crazy.


And it doesn\'t hurt that he is a fantastic player.


Gimme 9 NHL players better than Sydney Crosby.


I can maybe think of 2.






mm, I went to edit my own post and accidentally edited yours. thus the "last edited by luke" you see.
