Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Wandering Wings fan checking in

The SB Nation Wings blog is deader than the team was pre-Yzerman, and I've been hanging out at previous opponents' blogs for earlier series, so I thought I'd do the same for the Cup.

I figure I can live up to the agreement I just checked, to keep it clean, whatnot. Haven't seen too many of your predictions yet, they're probably buried under all the "new look!" notices.

 

Me, the whole postseason I've been pessimistic about the Red Wings' chances, partly due to years of expecting them to win only to see them fall short. This year, I figured they'd lose to San Jose and maybe Anaheim again, only to those teams knocked out in preceding rounds. I figured they'd win against Dallas, since Turco hasn't been any good in the state Michigan since he graduated from the University of Michigan after carrying us (I'm a UM grad from that time frame) to two NCAA championships.

But then, in the Stanley Cup finals, the Wings are matched up against the only Eastern Conference team I feared, your militant Pengweeners (cookie for any who knows the reference). So once again, I'm pessimistic, thinking your kids will run circles around our veterans, and you'll steal a single game in Detroit to take the cup in six.

 

Here's hoping I'm wrong again!

 

Looking forward to interacting over the next couple of weeks....

and welcome to Pensburgh. We don’t discriminate your fanship at all. We had a Sens fan stop in for the first round, a Rangers fan for the second and I got my share of hate mail from Flyers fans in the third. So by all means, you are welcome to have free reign on Pensburgh. Heck, I’d love to hear what you have to say about the series before and/or after each game. Post up a fanpost, comment away and just have some fun with it.

And yeah, keeping it clean was the only requirement. This doesn’t mean you can’t rip into us around here – we can take it.

Welcome again.
