I'm more apt to believe that NBC didn't want to mess up their weekday primetime lineup. They strong-armed the NHL into the compressed schedule irrespective of the two teams that climbed to the peak.

after they won the cup in '02 they had a little event here that allowed you to go get your picture taken with the cup. i have to find mine somewhere, it was quite an experience to see the cup up close AND! be able to touch it. they didn't allow you to hoist it, out of respect to the guys who played their entire career without getting to do so"Low on the totem, till he showed 'em defiance, giant scrotum"

I don't know what to say, except that I'm semi-shocked. I read both teams wrong. At least the Wings don't resort to gooning it up when they fall behind. Datsyuk didn't look 100 percent, but he certainly made a difference. Pittsburgh came out flying, had a bad pp, gave up a couple of goals, and then went into Ducks mode. Malkin looked immature. Kunitz and Talbot looked like a_holes. Bettman sure had a sour look on his puss, didn't he? I'm sure he was boiling during the "Crosby Sucks" chant. Finally get some rest.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.

I didn't even think of Bettman during the chant, but yeah you're right, he couldn't have been too enthused about it.
I think it was well deserved after Crosby administered that nasty slash to Z-man.------------

Pittsburgh forward Maxime Talbot said he wasn't deliberately targeting Pavel Datsyuk's injured foot when he slashed the Detroit Red Wings forward in the skate during the Penguins' second-period meltdown Saturday.
"He can say whatever he wants,'' Talbot said. "I went for the puck and his foot was there.''
What a load of crap. The replay doesn't lie. Kunitz puts a leg lock on Lidstrom. Dupuis goes for Kronwall's head. Crosby slashes Zetterberg. This is the team Bettman wants to promote? The Penguin looked like they were channeling Bobby Clarke, Moose Dupont and Ed Van Impe.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.

GO LIONS "09" !!!!!!!!!
Let me give you the skinny.
Wings looked like the Wings. Passes were crisp. They were attacking the pucks in the corners and did a great job in neutralizing the Pens premier line. The goon effect came from frustration that they were out hustled, out played and out scored by a team they they thought was too old and banged up. Dats back in the lineup gave Babs an extra weapon on both the PP and PK as well as creating a mismatched line that the Pens had a hard time controlling. Dats was put back with Zet and they looked like they have not skipped a beat.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

Marko,
Weren't you a little surprised at how quickly the Penguins quit? They carried the play for the first ten minutes of the game, and it didn't take much adversity for them to start going Anaheim on the guys in red. The Wings lost their poise in game 4 after Staal's shorty and then the Crosby goal, but Pittburgh knows they must win one game at Joe Louis.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.
