Yeah, what was up with that? :confused:

Pens were dominating the first 10 minutes, and then the wheels fell off.

I look for Game 6 to be the toughest game of the series yet.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

His poster boy was losing. It's like Babcock said, if you look at the commercials from last year you would think the Pens won the cup.

Want a poster boy? My vote is for a guy like Helm. Nothing flashy but work ethic second to none. God I love the guys that want to work!

Oh, and if the Pens thought "the old guys" looked tired in game four, they need to watch the tape of game five and see who looks tired. :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I keep hearing this word on the radio from Pens fans. The "New Dynasty", huh?

You have to win something first before you can claim a dynasty. See, even Wings fans haven't used this term until the past few days. Most likely in response to such obsurd claims that the Pens are starting one. PENS FANS, think of it this way...Where the Buffalo Bills a dynasty????


Not quite. They were the laughing stock of the NFL for years because they choked on the biggest stage. Maybe the Pens can look forward to that legacy. Two more years of being second best might get them into that conversation.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Steady now...Buffalo Bills fan here!! I can't believe I said that out loud.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Ummmmmm...... WINGS fan here :tu LOL

When I said 5 Cup wins in 11 years I was referring to Detroit....not the Penguins ROFL!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

The current Pens a dynasty? Don't you have to win a couple of Cups first? :confused:

I have to say out of all of the young guys, Helm has sure shown he is one hell of a player. Talk about working his ass off and giving 110%. He is sure to be a regular on the roster.

I know. I recently heard some Pens fans, on more than one occasion, say that the Pens will win and the "New Dynasty" has begun. I heard it on ESPN radio, Fox Sports radio, and on TV. Hell I even heard one of their senators or something say that word for word on Frank Beckman's show. I think it might be their new slogon or whatever.

You would think that at least 3 Cups (within 5-10 years) would be necessary before even mentioning the word dynasty. That was my point.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Would love to see the Wings win at home for the fans sake. However, game 7's are anyones game.

Lets hope they finish them tomorrow night. Beating Crosby on his home ice is the only thing better then winning at home.

(Yes I know the Pens record at home as of late. Lets just say I hope they are "due" to lose.)



Lets go WINGS!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

They will win I have faith....GO WINGS!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Could you suggest a good cocktail/cigar combination for, uh... you know... the CELEBRATION?

:dance::dance::dance:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Martoonis and one of my cigars...you are welcome to come by and partake, Danno! :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

This brings tears to my eyes! And not good ones :p

Although I do have a lot of respect for Lidstrom as a player.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Pens are tough to beat at home!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

GO WINGS!!! they are going to pull it off today

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Lets go PENS!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I am a die-hard Hawks fan, but make most of my fellow Hawks fans cringe by having the Wings as my second favorite team. Only team I like to see beat the Wings are the Hawks.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Seems I have upset Crosby's dad on another cigar board. My bad.


LETS GO WINGS!! :dance:

LETS GO WINGS!! :dance:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Let's go Pens!!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I agree the Pens are hard to beat at home as of late. However, no matter what they say they will be thinking about last year. Sticks just might be held a little tighter than normal. If the wings get a 2 goal lead my money is on the Pens having another melt down. Time will tell.

Enjoy the game boys!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Hopefully this will be a good game tonight with the Wings holding a 35 pound cup at the end.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Naw, let's go to 7 games. More exciting that way!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

6 would be just fine for me. Nothing like dancing on another's home ice 2 years in a row.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

< 6 hours!!

:wo :wo :wo

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Well Melrose just picked Wings to win tonight! That should just about do it!! :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

As I've said before, although I really don't have a dog in this fight, so to speak, I'd still love to see it go one more game. But...I'm not really confident that the Pens can pull it together tonight to get beat Thursday night.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Time to play some hockey!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Both teams looking good. Come'on Pens!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Only caught the last 2 minutes, but MAN what a 2 minutes :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Pens win. Wings had their chances at the end but could not get it in.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

SOB.... well game 7 will let the Redwings lift the cup at home so no bigie.....

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Hot damn, what a game! Scuderi's scramble at the end was awesome!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Man, that was exciting!!!, something to look forward to on friday night!!!...:wo

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Guess it takes 7.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

What a great display of goal tending on both sides!! Way to go PENS!! Game 7, Friday!! :wo

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

My stomach was jumping all over the last few minutes.

Something has gone off the tracks. Celebration is postponed. :(

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

It had to be the Melrose prediction.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:tpd: Scuderi had a helluva game....game 7 here we come!!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Wow!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Caught the end of a interview on ESPN2 this afternoon.
The discussion was why would the NHL Stanley Cup finals go head to head with the NBA finals?
Are there really many cross-over fans? I wouldn't walk across the street to watch a NBA game, even the finals..:fu2

What say you hockey fans.???

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Hate basketball.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Great game, Wings had lots of chances to tie it up the last few shifts but the Pens D came through. Gotta love a Game 7 in the SCFs. :ih

Oh yeah...... :fu2 the NBA.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I was flipping channels after the game ended. Saw the Lackers game on. It was on my tv screen for about 3 seconds. Put on some cartoons for my son to watch. I believe I enjoyed watching the Cartoons much more than I would the basketball game.

Basketball is literally my least favorite sport. Funny both the best and worse sport to me were invented in Canada.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Not a basketball fan either. I did watch a very little bit of the Bulls since they made the playoffs, it was the first basketball I have watched in years.
