I want to address this first...you say that Pittsburgh is classless...YET when the Pens were skating around after the game with the cup you could clearly hear the Detroit fans booing at least twice. Also, when Crosby for injured they were chanting "Crosby Sucks" as well as cheering that he was injured...imo that is classless! So I think you have it backwards buddy! Last season you didn't hear Pens fans booing when the Red Wings won the cup on their ice!
About the Crosby "not shaking hands". Look at NHL.com...you can clearly see Crosby shaking hands at the end of the game! He was at the end of the line probably due to getting his knee looked at again. But he was out there shaking all of the red wings hands. So you point there is completely wrong!
I need to correct some errors here. The series was going to start on a weekend because that's what NBC wanted. NBC wanted games 1,2,5,6,and 7. When they announced the later weekend start everyone started complaining. The NHL decided to move it up a week to the earlier weekend. They couldn't start the series on a Tuesday or a Wednesday becuase NBC wouldn't accept that. It was not a conspiracy against the Wings. It was just the result of an incompetent Commisioner getting a bad TV deal.

never said it was a conspiracy. I asked if they would have done the same thing if golden boy was hurt. I'm betting not.

enjoy the stanley tumbler. the real cup resides in detroit. crosby and malkin are dirtbags. malkin should have been taken off the ice in game 3 in handcuffs. thank god college football is starting soon. professional sports are all turning into boxing.
you didn't answer the question. would they have moved the series up if golden boy was hurt?
first learn to read...i did answer your question. it is not my fault you are illiterate.

I was pointed out being wrong by dkf747 which I also thanked for correcting me.

yet again with your excuses...get over it already! Just because you write no excuse doesn't mean you aren't making them...just thought you should have that pointed out to you.

I think this might be the dumbest statement you have said yet...Pittsburgh is not a good sports town...HAHAHA
yeah considering how many championships they have won..lol
yet again...you only state facts...where are your facts about pittsburgh being "not a really good sports town"?
Pittsburgh is MUCH more stable (economy wise) than Detriot is that is 100% true!

personal attack. violation of the TOS. talk about the teams, not your fellow posters. this thread is about to be closed anyhoo. the finals are over. pittsburgh is a joke of sports town. I went to a game at heinz field, and you could hear a pin drop.
redwings 11 cups and tradition
penguins 1 cup, 1 tumbler, and no tradition.
I hope this thread is closed and deleted...then you can't make your excuses as to why the wings lost the cup to the better team.
