Penguins vs. Red Wings Repeat Looks Highly Unlikely

I’ll say it
The Wings are done
Put ’em in a bag with some hot sauce
Shake ’em around
Serve ’em with a side of celery and blue cheese

On the bright side, I can probably cancel the appointments with the marriage counselor Beloved and I would have needed if there was a threepeat. Also, there will be less whining online. However, I’m going to have to put up with a little whining at home.

Let the haters moan, “Penguins again?”

could be Crosby vs. Kane just like the gold metal game, which coul dbe good for you, or it could mean that it is Kane’s turn to win.

or

it could be Sid beating Luogo for the cup instead of winning the gold for him

In Des Moines there already is a devout and unquestioned hatred of the Pens! I just don’t know where it comes from but most of the people here are brainless hicks when it comes to hockey.

As for the Red Wings fading before our eyes I understand how some of us may take joy in that, but remember, you are looking at our future. All things must come to an end and Detroit has been a power-house for years but time has caught up to them. It will happen to us one day soon I am afraid. I figure the Pens have 4-5 great years left before “The Core” all become UFA’s and some are going to leave.

I am just amazed to see the Sharks actually playing well in the playoffs. Honestly, after the past 5 years who amongst us had the Sharks producing in the playoffs?

i think someone should probably post that sidney haters gonna hate .gif because it expresses everything i think on this topic.

I’m glad. I’m always so happy about the parity in the league, especially the likelihood for upsets in the playoffs that you rarely see in the NBA or MLB (the NFL’s parity seems largely powered by player movement, but is still strong). Having DET-PIT three straight years would sort of dent the perception of parity.

I’m pretty surprised the Wings are down 3-0. Sharks look good, but for some reason I’m still waiting for them to implode.

The Wings are imploding under the mountain of bad karma that comes from signing Todd Bertuzzi.

I’ve always felt that if the Sharks could play up to their potential in the playoffs they’d be more than almost any team could handle.

Now they’re starting to do so, and that’s scary.

Red Wings fan suck it bigtime
And with their stars aging (and signed until 2050), they might not sniff a Cup again for a long, long, long time

I hope the Red Wings get swept. And I hope it burns almost as much as the time they got swept in the ’95 Stanley Cup Final by Claude Lemieux and the Devils. Suck on that, Tin Foil Hat-wearing Wings fans.

Coming from a guy who lives in Detroit and had to put up with my friends and those Cups and all the whining, I’m a pretty happy camper now. I hope sooooo bad they do get swept. Between that and Wash getting bounced in the first round, it’s been a good playoffs so far for me.

I’d never discount the Wings. A team that’s been this far in the playoffs for this long usually does so for a reason. Even if it seems very bleak, I’d stay the hell away from this series until the final buzzer goes on that 4th Sharks win.

That said, if the Wings do get axed, I’ll be rooting for the Hawks. Philly looks like they’re going out and the Caps are already gone… Wouldn’t feel like a Stanley Cup run if we don’t get an old rival to beat up…

Enter Hossa. :D
