They Fade Like Starlight To a Glimmer

Hey, remember when we were all excited because Rick Nash and the Columbus Blue Jackets made it into the playoffs for the first time in history? Well remember how everyone thought that, um, they would either be playing Calgary or Vancouver in the first round? You know 'cause they had a shot at progressing to the second round with those two teams, they had a chance, right?

Well now they have zero chance! ZERO CHANCE AT ALL!!!!!!!!! Why? Um, well, the team they are set to play in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is: THE ALMIGHTY DETROIT RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea they're up against the defending cup champs and Mike Babcock's Jedi mind tricks! I don't need to tell you! You know what's up! You know that the Jackets will be put down quickly and quietly! This ain't no 7 game series! This is a 4 game(5 at the most) massacre!

Its time to wipe those smiles off your faces, boys, and get ready for the cottage!

*sigh*

Hardest sports championship indeed!

Vivia La Liberation!!!!!!!

So the Detroit Red Wings did it!!!!!!!!!!



Very well deserved, non? We humans can once again breathe our smog filled air and oppress one another.

This was an unbelievable series! Detroit was going to win it, I could see it after game two...

Sorry I'm not one for blind faith(I'm from Toronto remember?); I read the signs and prepare for whatever will, most likely, happen. Isn't it crazy how much depth this team has? You could match ~*the Crosby line*~ against any line on this Detroit team and 8 out of 10 times they'll still own them!!!!

But you know what really sucks? Detroit is built up of the nicest, humblest guys in the NHL, so as an opponent you can't really hate on them. Its kind of like when the guy you're crushing on has a hot girlfriend perfect in every way, and try as you might you can't hate her because she's just so gosh darn nice, and you damn the fates for not making her a total bitch so it would give you good cause to hate her but then she offers to drive you home so you won't have to pay for a cab, and she listens the same music as you, and she makes really funny jokes...OK BACK TO HOCKEY!!!!!

I'm not THAT upset that Detroit won it, they deserved it...even if they're all old enough to be my dad or grandfather (I'm talking to you Chris Chelios!!!!!!!)

Peace out, hockey!

Wah, Wah ,Wah!!!!!!!!!

The Detroit Red Wings are currently 2-0, against the Pittsburgh Penguins and what's even more shocking is Crosby and the boys have yet to register a single goal against Detroit...WTF???

I'm quite disappointed in my boys, I knew this wasn't going to be an easy series BUT Detroit isn't even breaking a sweat; they're skating circles around the pens, they're shutting down Malkin, Hossa, AND even our Lord and Savior himself, Sidney Crosby.

WHAT IS GOING ON, PEOPLE????

Detroit has an answer for every single line, strategy, gimmick, and player, Pittsburgh has thrown at them, and Pittsburgh seems to be out to lunch. Even Gary Roberts tries to bait them out; tempting them to drop the gloves BUT if Roberts or any of the Pittsburgh coaching staff watched a single video of this Red Wings team then they would know that they don't play that kind of game and even if you play that game, they'll just leave you in the dust and score 5 times.


I really don't understand what the hell is going on, its like Pittsburgh is completely unresponsive to this Detroit team; two games, TWO GAMES without a single goal???? Bitch, please!!!

I've alluded to it in the past but if there's anything wrong with this Pittsburgh team, its the coaching staff. Why, in the last 8 minutes of the game, ISN'T Sidney Crosby on the ice???? Maybe you won't win but at least you could shake Osgood up, expose a weakness *cough*one timer from the blue line*cough* OR score a fucking goal!!!

AND

accusing people of diving/obstructing/embellishing is quite inconsequential when Detroit is currently MERKING YOUR ASSES AND SCHOOLING YOU IN THE GAME OF HOCKEY!!!!! You just end up sounding like sore losers: WAH, WAH, WAH !!!!!!!

Coach Therrien: He's [Chris Osgood] a good actor. He goes for players, and he's diving.

Maxime Talbot: He [Chris Osgood] did the same for Riberio (Dallas Stars). If he wants to do that, that's a shame; we're not playing soccer here.

Sidney Crosby: Yea...he [Chris Osgood] went down pretty easily.

orly????



SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PLAY SOME HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!

Stop trying to take the heat off of your team because you know Detroit has been handing your asses on a platter, why don't you try and score, eh? Whining and complaining won't bring you the Stanley Cup...HONESTLY!!!!!!!!


...with that said I still love y'all and want y'all to win the game and I KNOW that next game @ Mellon Arena you'll take the win and why do I say that? because I believe in you (ooo so cheesy), GO PENS GO!!!!!!!


PS I think Detroit is an amazing team and I respect them as my team's opponent but I love the fact the Niklas Lidstrom took the high road when responding to the ~*Pen's accusations*~ and was almost understanding about the whole thing. Maybe other captains should take note. I'm just saying...

Re: Crosby not touching the Prince of Wales trophy: Superstitions are completely irrational, darling

So I kind of predicted this show down of ~*pens vs red wings*~ after watching the first two games of each series. Dallas and Philly put up a good fight but the hockey gods had a different plan in store. This is a pretty exciting match up, non? The best team in the East playing the best team in the West; who will come out on top and finally put the question of 'which conference is better' to rest. CLEARLY I'm pulling for my boys, the pens; the way they've developed and the way they've become so good so fast...my god do they ever deserve it! Besides, Detroit needs to be knocked off that pedestal of theirs; best team in the NHL? We'll just see about that.

I know I've said before it would be boring if husband no. 6, Sidney Crosby, won the Stanley Cup but now that I've watched pretty much every series of this playoff season, and let the image of Crosby raising the Cup, marinate in my mind, I've decided that my darling Sidney Crosby winning the Stanley Cup, would be exciting...expected but exciting nonetheless. The pens are in it to win it, and I'm there for them 100%, GO PENS GO!!!!!!!!!!

Team Canada lost the gold medal game against Russia...and to be perfectly honest it wasn't that heartbreaking. OBVIOUSLY I was disappointed, I wanted Dany and Rick to bring home a gold medal BUT I'm kind of really biased towards Alexander Ovechkin and even if I found out he ate babies for breakfast I'd still love him, heh...

AND before you bitches blame my Ricky for losing the gold medal to Russia, think about this: the ENTIRE team blew a 4-2 lead; regardless of Nash's penalty in overtime, IF Canada was playing right and not actin' a fool, then chipping the puck over the glass wouldn't have made a difference! I mean, how many short handed goals did Canada score in this tournament and you fuckers want to blame Nash for losing this game? BITCH, PLEASE!
