red wings 2009 win cup ?

[Coldjensens]

I predict a close call, but no win. Sorry. (Sade the Psychic).

I thought they looked tired the other night (game 7).

The best team won. Pitt has a couple of champions lately.

Good for them!

It only took Pitt 17 years since their last cup...and it took the help of the refs.

Tell me this didn't hurt us , plus we didn't have Andreas Lilja for the entire playoffs and still suffers headaches from a concussion from a fight . He may not even play next season .

Nicklas Lidstrom: He was speared in the testicles by Patrick Sharp during Game 3 against Chicago and underwent surgery on the area two days later. he Missed Games 4 and 5 against Chicago, then returned and played every game of the Cup finals.


Rafalski: He ruptured a disk in his back between the first and second round but returned for Game 6 against Anaheim. “It got to the point where he could play again,” Holland said, “but if had been the regular season, he would have been out another week or two. He played through the pain of a herniated disk.”


Kris Draper: He missed the first 10 games of the playoffs after taking a stick to the throat that tore cartilage in the neck area, Holland said. “As a precaution, we didn’t want him to get hit in the neck and have something go down the air pipe wrong.” Draper was out from Game 4 against Chicago to Game 5 against Pittsburgh because of a pulled groin.


Pavel Datsyuk: Suffered a charley horse when he was hit along the boards and also was hit by a slap shot in his foot during Game 2 against Chicago, causing him to miss seven games. “The charley horse turned out to be more significant,” Holland said. “He never was 100% -- he didn’t have any thrust. A charley horse can be a 4-6-week injury, but he pushed through to play.”


Dan Cleary: Played through a groin pull suffered in Game 4 against Pittsburgh. “He was very sore after Game 4, and we didn’t expect him to play in Game 5,” Holland said. “An MRI showed he had a significant groin injury, but he wanted to play.”


Tomas Kopecky: Needed surgery after he fractured his right orbital bone following fight with Francois Beauchemin in Game 4 against Anaheim. Missed the rest of the playoffs.

forgot to mention Eriksson had surgery for appendicitis and still played , I bet that hurt .

FYI : The Pens could only muster up 375,000 fans for their parade yesterday LOL !

ummm don't we usually have around a million ? hehehe

I think getting 375,000 people down to watch the parade is good considering there are 335,000 people in the city limits...how many people live in Detroit?

And that 1 million last year was a made up number.

Eh, whatever makes him feel better about losing

There are now 310k people in the city of Pittsburgh.
