Wings in 4

**Loose Cannon** · 05-31-2009, 12:40 PM

ugh, good game. Detroit looked a lot better as the game progressed. Detroit was out hustling the Pens the last couple minutes, even with a 6-5. But Crosby, Malkin and them were beat.

Crosby made a sick play when he spun around and shot it. Would of been amazing if he made that.

I'm just happy I got to watch a game at home. I don't get that stupid Versus channel they air hockey on here

**Loose Cannon** · 05-31-2009, 10:36 PM

**Loose Cannon** · 05-31-2009, 10:43 PM

as if Malkin wasn't aready my favorite player, he just became my hero of the week.

**LoDownM** · 05-31-2009, 10:56 PM

Shoulda been 2-1. That was clearly slashing by Hossa before the 2nd goal was scored.

**Splaya** · 05-31-2009, 11:52 PM

HAHAHAHAHA it won't last but Malkin got an instigator penalty and if that lasts no Malkin Game 3.

I agree with the Hossa thing but the problem is the sticks are so weak nowadays. Also, Fleury should have had the 3rd goal.

And? Wood or Fiber Glass, it's still a penalty.

**Splaya** · 06-01-2009, 01:51 AM

I've seen so many sticks break this post season it is redic. Also, I don't want you to sit back and tell me that the Wings are breaking rules and Sid is sitting there being an angel. He is getting away with shit too

**LoDownM** · 06-01-2009, 01:54 AM

Because, I said that, rite?

**DAMN iNATOR** · 06-01-2009, 10:48 AM

I think last night's fight definitely sealed the deal for any non-traditional NHL viewers out there who weren't sure whether or not they would watch game 3 Tuesday, and btw, to whoever posted the pic, I'm sorry but a still pic cannot do that end of game brawl justice, so, here everyone, is a vid version (\/):

Oh, and @ splaya's mini-diatribe: Sorry, man but I gotta side with the refs on this one. I applaud them for showing some restraint in the penalty dept. (i.e., only calling the obviously way blatant shit) They weren't born yesterday. They know just as well as every fan, player, coach, GM and owner out there what's at stake, and they don't want to disrupt the flow of the games.

You son of a bitch I was defending the refs

NHL's Campbell rescinds Malkin suspension
Sunday, 05.31.2009 / 11:48 PM / 2009 Stanley Cup Final: Detroit vs. Pittsburgh
NHL.com
DETROIT -- National Hockey League Executive Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell issued the following statement regarding the instigator penalty assessed to Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin at 19:41 of the third period of tonight’s Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final:

Rule 47.22 states: "A player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation in the final five minutes or at any time in overtime shall be suspended for one game, pending a review of the incident. The director of hockey operations will review every such incident and may rescind the suspension based on a number of criteria. The criteria for the review shall include, but not be limited to, the score, previous incidents, etc..."

Following that review, Campbell said: "None of the criteria in this rule applied in this situation. Suspensions are applied under this rule when a team attempts to send a message in the last five minutes by having a player instigate a fight. A suspension could also be applied when a player seeks retribution for a prior incident. Neither was the case here and therefore the one game suspension is rescinded."

NHL Hockey Operations also determined that Malkin should have been assessed a game misconduct for not having his jersey tied down.

From: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=424480

Bullshit, none of the criteria apply! Apparently this jackass who made the decision can't read his own goddamned rule that starts with "A player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation in the final five minutes..." THERE WAS :18.2 to go in the game!!!

So I guess nobody's above a suspension, unless you're Evgeni Malkin...again, just

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-01-2009, 02:16 PM

They aren't gonna suspend a star player for the Stanley Cup finals. Especially when the league is starved for ratings and it currently has its best opportunity to get back on American national television in a big way for the first time in years.

**Splaya** · 06-01-2009, 02:21 PM

But guess what. For games 3 and 4, they are not going back on National Television. The game is strictly on Versus

**parkmania** · 06-01-2009, 02:47 PM

That's Jesus's point though. Unless there's a sweep by Detroit (not happening, btw) Games 5-7 ARE on national TV. Malkin being on the ice for Game 3 helps make sure they get to those "if necessary" games.

Game 1 the Pens were the better team, but suffered some bad bounces.

Game 2 the Red Wings were the better team, and the Pens were 2 posts away from a tie game.

Hossa got away with a BIG one that directly led to Filppula's goal.

If Pittsburgh plays game 3 like how they did in the first 2 games, the broom is DEF coming out in game 4...

**Testicle** · 06-02-2009, 08:12 PM

Althought the wings are the superiour team, I doubt that the pens will get swept. I think that they will win game 3 tongiht, but then lose games four and five to the wings.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-02-2009, 09:05 PM

Wow that Versus commercial with Explosions in the Sky playing just gave me goose bumps, anyone else see that?

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-02-2009, 10:36 PM

What where they chanting after that 4th goal tonight? I noticed them chanting something earlier in the game as well..couldn't make it out.

**road doggy dogg** · 06-02-2009, 10:41 PM

I think they were chanting "Osgood" (Detroit's goalie)

**Splaya** · 06-02-2009, 11:27 PM

Hey good game by Pittsburgh tonight. Detroit just seemed like they did not want it as bad. No arguments here, we got outplayed and outhustled

**road doggy dogg** · 06-02-2009, 11:30 PM

Desperation often matters more than skill. Fleury really held the fort in the 2nd period.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-03-2009, 12:30 AM

Hopefully Pittsburgh wins game 4, makes things more interesting. Also don't really like the Red Wings for whatever reason, although the city of Detroit could probably use a championship right now...

**El Fangel** · 06-03-2009, 01:49 AM

Anyone take me in for 6 months if the Pens win?

I dont think I could live here with everyones nose brown from Saint Sidneys ass if they win.

Keep talking like that and I'll run you out of town myself

Just kidding. There are quite a few out there like you say, but I and most of my friends are equally Gino and Sarge fans. Besides, if Sid gets too pompous, we'll chase him away like we did Jagr.

**LoDownM** · 06-03-2009, 06:21 PM

lol. There's a difference in not being able to afford both Jagr and Lemieux and being "chased" away.

p.s.-Also mad props to former MSU player Justin Abdelkader for becoming the only NHL player to score his first 2 goals in Gm.'s 1 & 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals, even if he did get lucky on both of them...kid's got a bright future ahead.

**parkmania** · 06-03-2009, 06:34 PM

To quote WDVE's "Mullet Talk", "Jagr has been whining a little bit lately... like, pardon the term, a little bitch. It's like when Jagr cut off his mullet, his nutsack went with it."

**DAMN iNATOR** · 06-04-2009, 11:31 AM

Well, hopefully, at any rate, the Wings will take Gm. 4 tonight so they can win the Cup at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday in Gm. 5, instead of having to win it on the road. But I won't complain, as long as they clinch it one way or the other.

**road doggy dogg** · 06-04-2009, 09:30 PM

Damn! Staal's SH goal, that was sick!!! I just spit pork chops all over my couch. I don't care. HOLLA.

**parkmania** · 06-04-2009, 10:49 PM

And now it's best of 3. Will either team be able to win on the road? I hope so, as long as it's not Game 6.

**Corndad** · 06-04-2009, 11:18 PM

This is turning out to be a great series. Series don't start till home team loses. I said that after the first two games and now after the series is tied. Also I am a Pens fan and I gotta say the refs are putting the whistle away this series and its going both ways. I like it. Let the players decide it.
