Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 It's the game that never... Hell, Fleury should be considered as Conn Smythe runner up because of this game. Uwe Krupp scored a Stanley Cup GWG in 96 in Triple OT, and there was no scoring in that game at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packwingfn 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 There is NO way Fleury gets Conn Smythe if the Pens dont win the cup unless this series goes 7. There are way too many Red Wings who deserve it if the Wings win it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 They oughta. Fleury has tons of confidence right now and can single handily steal this series. Gonchar? Questionable for game six? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike wanna be 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Damn goaltender interference. I mean, I sort of understand the call and how much it would suck to have Pittsburgh's season end because somebody came hard to the net and cleared Fleury out of the way for an easy goal, but you have to let the guys go to the net if there's nowhere else to go.

Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Man, this is so fucking awesome. Hank was already my favorite current Wings player but this post-season somehow made me like him even more. And how about Darren McCarty, coming back and getting his fourth Cup. This is unreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Am I the only one wondering why Therien wasn't double-shifting Crosby and Malkin or Hossa in the second half of the 3rd? It seemed Babcock had Datsyuk and/or Zetterberg on the ice every second shift. Great finish though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightwing 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Nice assist from Fleury there lol. I'm a Red Wings fan, but that's pretty cheap. This game should have gone into overtime. Well, if we are going by that, the last game shouldn't have gone to OT off of Kronwall's cheapie. But in all seriousness, that was a great game and a heart-attack-inducing ending. God, this is a great shot in the arm for the sport. Hank getting recognition, Lidstrom getting another big check-mark against his name (The first European born and raised to lead a team to the Stanley Cup, as apparently some guy out of Odessa who was raised from infancy in Canada lead Chicago to it in 1938), and (FINALLY!) the Wings finally cap off a season the right way.

Annabelle 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 next year will be the test for the wings. i'm sure there are going to be a few solid players leaving the team. they have tons of young defenseman just waiting. if the players like eriksson, meech, kindl, and quincey come into their own, i have no doubts that this team can beat anyone. their top 9 players are locked down for the forseeable future, except zetterberg, but i'm sure that will be taken care of. seriously, franzen and filpulla are only going to get better. and they're second liners. having helm as a fourth line centre. keeping drapper and cleary together. if they resign stuart, they'll have the best defensive core in the league. i was so impressed with the domination of the wings. although in the last minute, i was worried. they seemed snake-bitten after giving up the game in the last minute in game 5. another key componant of all of this is mike babcock. this guy is firstly an amazing leader who doesn't bitch and moan like other coaches, he is very low key, which suits the team perfectly. but this guy also understands every intracacy of each player. whenever he switches his line-ups he found the right connection and always changed the momentum of the game. putting franzen with zetterberg and datsyuk instead of holmstrom when it was 2-1 was genius. franzen skates better and was their defensive third line specialist when draper was out earlier. putting hudler and helm on the fourth line while using hudler's speed on the second powerplay. little things like that makes babcock a great coach, and the red wings so much more dynamic than any team in the league.

Finally! The long drought is over!! These last 5 seasons must have been brutal for you Wings fans. Sorry to bust balls, but when your team has won 4 in like 11 seasons, it's tough to see a "Finally" and not make jokes. Try being a Bruins fan or a Leaf fan who hasn't gotten to see a Cup celebration in their life time. (Especially a Leafs fan, I'd say ... at least us B's fans have seen our team play for a Cup) EDIT: And having said that, congrats to the Wings fans. Your boys really did deserve the Cup this year, they were the best team all along and deserved the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
