Let me start off by saying that I honestly don’t want to offend anyone or lose my wonderful blog friends over this, (I’m looking at you Mermanda) because it is just a sport.
And maybe if a certain team member for Pittsburgh played for the D I wouldn’t be as hostile.
That said, SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT CROSBITCH (Crosby) NBC Pierre McGuire! For the love of GOD could you be a more biased commentator? We get you are a Pittsburgh fan. Awesome. Go announce for a fucking Pittsburgh station not for the whole country. Hey I have an idea NBC, why didn’t you take games 3 and 4 in Pittsburgh. We’d be happy to have Versus cover when the games are at the Joe. Look, I know that most people, NHL Bettman included, don’t want to see the Wings win the Stanley Cup 2 years in a row. I would apologize that we have a fucking kick ass team but I’M NOT SORRY.
We work hard.
You want some proof that Pierre Maguire is biased?
“Don’t you agree Edzo, that the Penguins aren’t in trouble until they lose on home ice?”
and…
“If Detroit is going to defend its title and stifle the ever-emerging Pittsburgh franchise, they will need to re-write history [referencing Oilers vs Rangers]. If not, this could be the beginning of a new dynasty in the NHL.”
“The making of dynasty requires star caliber players who are locked up to long-term contracts,” explained McGuire. “In the case of Pittsburgh, you have that with Malkin, Crosby, Jordan Staal and Marc-Andre Fleury. So you have a lot of the key components signed. Nothing is guaranteed because injuries and questionable calls come into play, but if you look at it right now, they’re on a path to success for a long time.”

(I had a hell of a hard time finding the quotes from the game last night. If anyone has any to add please feel free.)
I’m all about having a favorite team, but c’mon, have some professionalism.
I’m also sick and tired of hearing about how the Wings will lose because they are old.
SERIOUSLY?!
What about the players we’ve brought up from Grand Rapids? You know the ones scoring motherfucking goals. Like Abdelkader, you know the tall guy, scored the THIRD goal in the first two games of the series.
Or Ericsson who missed ONE game for an appendectomy.
I’m also sick and tired of hearing that we don’t have the goaltending.
WHAT?!
Have you seen Osgood standing on his head? We couldn’t get this far without him. Yes he didn’t have the best season, BUT he’s worked through it and playing at the top of his game now. Did you see he stopped 31 of 32 shots both games? Oh that’s right, we don’t have top goaltending. Get your head out of your ass. Those of you said that Fluery was a better goaltender…um really?
I’m not just a Wings fan that’s whining or bitching about the fact we don’t get the respect on national tv we deserve. Did you know that during Game 1 of the series (in game time ONLY) they said Crosby 76 times. That’s not including intermission, pregame or postgame. I know he’s talented (I still hate him), I’ve seen him out on the ice. But I’ve also heard (from Detroit radio stations) that Malkin is a better player than CrosBitch. It’s just too bad that Bettman has hand picked CrosBitch to be the fucking face of the NHL.
And that’s just this hockey girl’s rant. It’s all about the Wing’s depth. In Detroit we don’t have much good going on right now, but we have the Wings.
For fun here it the fight at the end of the game between Malkin and Zetterburg.
Go Wings!

Have a great Monday!
Reinventing Amy’s last blog post..Your opinion please.
Ria, I love the redesign!
One thing about Nate and I that makes us so that we are not 100% true Luzods is that we do not like sports, despite how great MOST of Detroit’s teams are. Like, if the RedWings win, I am all for it, but if they don’t, it’s really no big to me. Hockey, to me, like golf, or baseball, is a bunch of dudes (mostly white) smacking something around with sticks… But that’s just me.
When I see INTELLIGENT passion radiating from people with regard to the sports, like you, I really do respect that kind of enthusiasm and excitement for the game. I mean, you’re not just a Detroit fan because you live in Detroit, but you actually intelligently and thoroughly play the game in your head. It’s like your science.
And when I see that, I really admire it. So, with that being said, well done! I almost feel like saying, “Ditto, bitches!”

I don’t really care for hockey, but since I go to school in Pittsburgh, I’ve gotta be cheering for the Pens to win. Only because it’d be great to have two home teams be champions this year! That said, I really wouldn’t care too much if the Pens lost, though.
Angela’s last blog post..Unspoken Round 2
I don’t watch any sports so I know very little about the game of hockey, but I do know that Crosby is from my hometown in NS. I know he’s not your favorite person though… LOL but he’s our little hometown hero. Nothing exciting really happens in Nova Scotia so it’s a big deal, although, I’ve never even seen him play… oops! I hope your team wins

It sounds like you’re into hockey the way I’m into football. It pisses me off to NO END when ESPN trash-talks my Tigers, especially one of the seasons they hated on us the most was the one we won the National Championship.
Good luck to your team! Turn off the sound on the TV and listen to the local radio commenters. It makes you feel a lot better.
