Can't wait ... I personally dont even care if we win or loose tomorrow ... because Pittsburg CANNOT AND WILL NOT win in Detroit and thats what it takes ... just means it takes one more game then last year with the same result.

Steve

Yeah...................isn't that precious??

:clap:

Yeah......and he's also out a 5 year contract deal and about $45 million.

That's gotta ouch the bum.

Yeah no kidding!! Im hoping the Wings can scrounge up enough money to give him a new contract that he will agree on. If he wants to win a championship, Detroit is a good place to do it, so hopefully he will stay.

Pittsburgh seems to be a pretty good place lately, too. :rolleyes: But I don't believe the boy would get too warm of a welcome coming back here. :cool:

Hey what was with the NHL poster boy, Crosby, not shaking hands with the Detroit captains after the game??? Not very 'captain like' in my opinion..:):)

What is a postgame handshake???

It's the losing team congratulating the winners. Way I see it, if the Wings hadn't taken off down the tunnel so fast, they'd have all gotten their turn with "poster boy". Actually heard Hossa say something to the effect that they maybe should not have left so quickly in an interview.

Besides............... that DB Pierre McGuire corralled Sid for an interview before he ever got to the handshake line. Pretty unprofessional, methinks.

Nothing else to say...lol

This is the first I've been online since game 6...glad I didn't watch the game and jinx 'em!

I hope Hossta stepped in something stinky on his way out of the Joe...just make his night all the more better!

Congrats Pens on an amazing season...from almost not even making playoffs...to coach change...to winning the cup! I say lets make it like '91 and '92...back to back...'09 and '10.

Ummm...let me see, here...

A 22 year old kid just attained his childhood dream...the quest that has been his life ever since he could walk...and is now the youngest captain to ever hoist the cup.

Everyone...and I mean everyone...wanted to shake his hand or interview him, not to mention the exhilaration of what has just happened.

I'll forgive you, Sidney.

I wonder why Lidstrom and Draper and Zetterburg didn't seek him out to shake his hand ?...Ya know...congratulate the victor!

...Oh yeah...r-i-g-h-t...more headlines for them to raise this stink. Divert the attention from their failure.

As much as the Penguin fans may dislike Hossa, at least he was man enough to stand in defense of Crosby.

He knows, and I am sure the others know too, that it was not an intentional slight.

Where the Wings suppossed to wait for the Pens to skate with the cup before they shook hands? The Wings waited long enough. I dont think it was intentional he got caught in the moment and lots of people where pulling him in different directions. I hear lots of Wings fans crying about this and they seem to forget that Chelios has done this on several occassions, after losses no less. The easiest thing to do is shake hands after you win. But next time Cindy should pay a little better attention, after all the rest of the team made it to the hand shake line. We all know how important this win was for Pierre McGuiere so I guess getting a kiss from him is more of a priority.:p

However the old saying goes........we'll still take it.

And, understood........we won't force you all to like us. We didn't like you guys last year. ;)

You can relax, though. We already told the Pirates not to give the Tigers any trouble over the World Series. :D
