Brilliant strategy by Bylsma. All out defense in their zone and then breakout on the pinch by Detroit. Babcock pulled the D men back and the Wings couldn't seem to adjust.

fsck me for all the negative rants on fleury… …i take it all back, but better, nobody can now take away his cup inscription…

talbot always been one of my favorite pens, what a game #7 performance…

officiating again was dreadful, but it was near equal in its misapplication and atrocious calls for game #7…

red wings have nothing to hang their head over, it was a post and/or a brilliant save away from going to OT…

Big save by Fleury! And it is, that's it! The Pittsburgh Penguins have won the Stanley Cup, and Lord Stanley, scratch their names on your fabled Cup!

That last save was pure willpower. Cup saving too probably, I don't think the Pens would've come out in OT.

Yeah, that was basically the conversation here. Cup winning save. Seriously doubt Pittsburgh would have won in OT. Especially without Crosby.

It was a great final.  I glad for the Pens.

Now can we please for the love of God stop whimpering about refs?  The series was won and lost by the players.

Now for the draft and figuring out which direction to aim the Dany Heatley cannon.

A cup-winning save indeed. I was surrounded by drunk pens fans the remainder of last night.

Two things:

1) Get that Little Ceasar's shit out of that photo or I'm not buying it. Lul. So intentional.

2) Draper crying his eyes out and saying that Crosby was late for the handshakes. Get the fuck out. I can see where your fans picked it up. Guy was being mugged by 4,000 reporters and trying to give them all some time. Christ, CBC was pulling Penguins aside as the CUP WAS COMING OUT. Reporters are classless and want their soundbites and interviews, and Crosby always tries to accommodate. Do you honestly think he MEANT to be late to the lineup? GTFO and accept the loss.

Boo hoo, he was late in the lineup. IMO, give us the cup. That'll show him.

Even in the end, thought DET might pull it out. Fleury made the saves he had to make, even though DET dominated the 3rd and probably most of the game.

Yeah, Fleury was damn good down the stretch. He made the saves when he had to and the Pens just plain played better for most of the game. Good on them.

No tears, cheese dick. Just truth. You want high flying vs hook and hold, look at the Yzerman era wings or the Lemieux era pens vs the devils and the avs in the mid 90s. That was then, This is now. Everyone hooks. Everyone holds, your bitches just happened to win this year. the true test is whether they'll be able to pull it off again. Odds are, they won't.

O rly?  Seems to me the Stanley series is tied 1-1 Detroit and Pittsburgh.

Have they issued a flood warning in Detroit?  Freakin' rivers of tears must be making the drive to work unbearable.

I'm sure Oilers, Habs, and Leafs fans tell themselves the same thing to justify not bringing home the trophy this year, too.

Also, in the last 20 (okay, well 19) years, Wings have 4 cups and Pens have 3.  You'd have to go back to the 1950s to start adding more Detroit cups.

I'm not sure how your argument holds up.

But I still don't have a clue about hockey, do I?

Disappointed Wings fans might be worse than Florida Gator football fans when they lose.

The Habs have a decent case in that regard. They haven't gone *that* long without a cup and they totally have way more then everyone else.


Leafs though...   why so serious?

Detroit deserved to lose that game. Didn't seem to be hungry.

Osgood gave Maxine like 2 foot of net on the far side on that 2 on 1. I could see if he would have cheated towards the other guy some, but he was just horribly outta position.

Overall, I was glad to see it at least come down to the wire. It was straight up depressing before that.

And seriously, you guys still crying about the calls... I think we are watching two different series' or something.


One nice thing about being a Wings fan, there is always next year and a chance at another cup. Cya next year in the 09-10 Playoffs thread :)

As for you, cmlancas, you don't have a clue, but keep telling yourself you do and that my argument is about
sour grapes since that seems to make you feel better about your cover boy team.

rolleyes

Yeah, we sucked this year.  The cover boy comment is silly -- St. Louis, Lecavalier, and Malone are all great players, but they aren't the reason TB didn't win.  TB didn't win because their D was freakin' swiss cheese.  They were calling up every D-man they had from Norfolk just to try to fill the injury gaps.  Mike Smith had an amazing season last year, but his stats don't show it because the D playing in front of him sucked. 

That being said, you have to give credit where credit's due.  The whole, "let's see if they can do it again next year" was retarded -- Detroit couldn't do it, so why ask if Pittsburgh could do it?  Shit, I picked Detroit to win the cup (in five no less) -- I thought they were the better team.  However, Pittsburgh showed me they were the better team this year.

Tampa needs to trade Lecavalier and St. Louis for some HoT DraFt Pickz. You'd be the new Pittsburgh/Chicago/Washington in a few years.

NO!  St. Louis would be much served getting Dany Heatley.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Or tell you what, cmlancas.  We'll take that stiff Stamkos off your hands in return for a star forward to play with Lecavalier.  why so serious?

By the the way, the Red Wings need to shut the fuck up about this "snub" shit. Talk about being sore fucking losers.

You dudes rushed the handshakes while the Penguins were celebrating. I understand you want off the ice, but try being gracious losers and sitting your fucking asses there like Pittsburgh did last year for you guys. Now you try to sully the first cup for these kids with a bunch of bullshit like this?

Seriously. Get over yourselves, idiots.

(If you haven't seen - it's not just Draper anymore, Zetterberg came out talking shit today and Lidstrom made a comment. IMHO, Lidstrom's only comment should have been congratulate Pittsburgh, regardless of how he felt about the situation.)

Actually, he's 30.

There must be some stipulations in there for Hawks to opt out if he's a bust.

And that kind of straps them on the "paying the goalie" portion of team management. But that didn't stop Flyers from nabbing Chris Pronger and not addressing their goaltending needs…

It's a dodge of the salary cap.  Their cap hit is only what the average of the contract is, even if they pay him say, 8 million a year for the first few seasons.
