We'll kick your ass, you Flyers scum!
We'll kick your ass and leave you numb!
We'll drink to you when the Cup is passed,
You Flyers scum, we'll kick your ass!

LET'S GO PENS!

tough one last night.

we'll be ok though

I think the refs were terrible the first 2 periods last night. It was painful to watch them make such bad passes also. Just bad all around.

They just wanted to clinch it in front of the home fans!

MeYatch · Post by **MeYatch** » Friday May 16, 2008

they certainly made it interesting in the third period though.

well, it's third period and 6 - 0. I think it's safe to say that the Pens are going to the Stanley Cup !!!!

YEEAHHHH !!!!!! Go Pens !!!

wooo!

i am pumped!

Stanley Cup Prediction time!

Ill take a long shot here and say 7 games, 1st overtime pens.

Both these teams are damn good.

DrumAndDestroy · Post by **DrumAndDestroy** » Monday May 19, 2008

detroit didn't play the pens all year long. the 2 particular divisions each team are in didn't play each other at all.

there is no team in the west the red wings have faced that has the speed and scoring ability like the pens...the wings better be ready.

the pens better be ready too...detroit can pass like no other team in the nhl. period.

as i write this...it is 4-1 wings with about 6min to go. ya just never know what may happen though

Should be a great Stanley Cup final. Wonder if JP is interested in extending our annual Michigan vs. Penn State beer bet into some hockey?

My prediction: Detroit in 7.

pittsburgh hasn't played a team that scores deflection goals the way detroit does either. I think it will be a good game.

Now on to Detroit! I don't hate them as bad as the Flyers, but I can temporarily.

FUCK DETROIT!!!!!!!!!!!

*Sorry Kevin.

ToonaRockGuy · Post by **ToonaRockGuy** » Tuesday May 20, 2008

Better change my avatar.

Come on down and discover why Detroit is Hockeytown, bitches.

Detroit is good Kevin...but i'm sorry man Pittsburgh is even better. You guys have the old guys in net in which Pittsburgh will wear down relentlessly and Fleury will keep going and going like the energizer bunny! hehe Nah should be a great matchup.... Pittsburgh in 6.

DrumAndDestroy · Post by **DrumAndDestroy** » Tuesday May 20, 2008

like kevin said, this is going to be one hell of a series.

the pens are the kind of team that can take the red wings.

i will actually be out of town this weekend for game 1...but us hockey gurus should get together for some of these games if we can.

xero380 · Post by **xero380** » Tuesday May 20, 2008

get together at Zack's sounds good to me...

I'm in. Let me know when/where. I'm leaving for Vacation next Thursday, so it'll have to be before then

No way, Xero. I'll give ya 3 reasons the Wings will win this:

1. Experience. The Red Wings have two players who already own one Stanley Cup ring (Pavel Datsyuk, Dominik Hasek), three who have won two (Chris Chelios, Chris Osgood and Brian Rafalski) and five who have three each (Kris Draper, Tomas Holmstrom, Nicklas Lidstrom, Kirk Maltby and Darren McCarty). All except Rafalski won at least one championship in a Detroit sweater.

2. Special Teams. Detroits penalty-kill and power play units are second to none. Look for Holmstrom to drive M.A. Fleury crazy by parking his backside right in front of the net at every opportunity.

3. GOALTENDING. You can't even compary Fleury to Osgood. Ozzie didn't lose for a MONTH before Dallas won 2 in a row. Osgood is the player who has been in this position before, knows what pressure he’s going to face and how to respond to adversity.

Like I said, Wings in seven. Most Wings fans think I'm being way to generous, but living here, I know that the Pens are good enough to push the Wings to a seventh game.
