It works kind of weird like that. My generation, when we were 9 or 10 Pittsburgh won the cup twice and we kinda liked/respected the team because Lemieux was on it...I guess the same thing can be said for Crosby. Same thing with Gretzky and the Oilers. I dont remember caring about the Penguins when that prick Jagr was leading them.Quote:

exactly, you only liked the pens because you were on the bandwagon. jagr never led them to a cup, so you didn't like them
I liked Lemieux before they won in 91....I remember having the Lemieux Coho jr hockey stick and everything. Could also been that my minor hockey team colors were always the Penguins/Bruins colors. I didnt like Jagr because of his attitude. IDK, I guess around that time with my age when only picking up the newspaper to read the sports section and read stupid things Jagr says and how he always bitched about NHL rules. I also just hated his hair.
So yes, I kind of liked Boston too from the colors....Neely was sick.
fuckennnnnnnnn ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
go pens
glad to see them win. thats a group of hockey players right there. cheered for them last year and this year too. cant stand the red wings. i was sooo happy to see that last night.

i'm so happy he is an unrestricted free agent. it was fucking scary seeing the wings blow by his slow ass every fucking shift.
where are all of these fags like wusword and wadedigital and especially eradicate who were talking all that shit about detroit going to win the cup. i waited over 24 hours for them to say something and they fucking disappear.
people from detroit are like their fucking teams - a bunch of cry babies.
the red wings are now crying that sid crosby took too long celebrating instead of shaking their hands. fucking deal with it you fucking fags. he watched as you guys celebrated last year and then shook your hand.
Loss, Crosby's snub leave Wings with bitter taste
DETROIT (AP) — The Red Wings can accept that Pittsburgh is the Stanley Cup champion. Getting snubbed by Sidney Crosby is another matter. After watching Pittsburgh hoist the Cup on Detroit's ice, the Red Wings lined up to shake hands with the Penguins as is custom in the NHL playoffs.
Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom was up front, followed by alternate captain Kris Draper, congratulating many of the new champions while waiting for Pittsburgh's captain.
"Nick was waiting and waiting, and Crosby didn't come over to shake his hand," Draper told an Associated Press reporter a couple hours later as he was leaving Joe Louis Arena. "That's ridiculous, especially as their captain, and make sure you write that I said that!"
Crosby eventually skated over to shake hands with the Red Wings, but many had already headed for the dressing room. Detroit forward Johan Franzen and Crosby exchanged words and Crosby then shook hands with goaltender Chris Osgood and some other Detroit players.
The Penguins were unhappy with the accusation, especially since Crosby was photographed going through the line.
"Nobody respects the traditions of hockey more than Sidney Crosby," team vice president Tom McMillan said. "It was a young team celebrating its first Cup and some of the guys might have been a little late getting into the handshake line."
The losing team almost always leaves the ice quickly following an elimination loss, especially during the finals, and it was uncertain how long Lidstrom waited.
Pittsburgh didn't need Crosby to finish off the Red Wings, beating them 2-1 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals without the superstar healthy enough to play for the whole game.
Detroit was bitter about blowing 2-0 and 3-2 leads in the series, but the previous champions gave the Penguins their due.
"You've got to give them credit," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said.
Goaltender Chris Osgood agreed.
"We're not stunned," he said. "They had a good team."
The Red Wings were good, too, just not good enough to overcome hurt or misfiring stars in the finals.
They swept Columbus, survived a seven-game series against Anaheim and skated past Chicago in five games as MVP finalist Pavel Datsyuk missed several games with a foot injury and Marian Hossa scoring in just three games.
But the Red Wings couldn't hold on to hoist the Cup for the second straight year and fifth time in 12 seasons when Datsyuk was out early in the finals and Hossa mustered only three assists against his former teammates.
"Any time you win three games in a final, you have a chance," Babcock said. "We just didn't have enough to get it done.
"The guys that were injured on our team this year never got their game back to the level it could be. And they were significant players for us."
Hossa wasn't hurt.
He was just ineffective.
Hossa seemed to crumble in the spotlight after turning down a lucrative, long-term contract last summer to stay with the runner-up Penguins to take a one-season shot at the Cup with the defending champions.
Hossa is eligible to be an unrestricted free agent again, but he wasn't ready to talk about his plans.
"I can't think about that now," he said. "I'm sure we'll have some talks."
The Red Wings will have some interesting decisions to make this offseason because they probably can't keep Hossa along with key free agents such as Jiri Hudler, Mikael Samuelsson, Tomas Kopecky and Ville Leino.
lmao i know eh, everytime he was on the ice i would be scared cuz he seemed to always be the one causing all the goals.Quote:
