I'll bet these Red Wings were a tougher opponent than Arizona and Seattle were for the Steelers.
Bill Guerin, Miroslav Satan, and Ruslan Fedotenko all left the Islanders to join the Penguins.
Would you call them backstabbers? Hmmmmm?

Guerin was traded. The difference is that the Islanders never had a chance to win, obviously the pens did.
Humm...Last post before I think the Aviatar needs to be updated (with the banner raising from this past season for the wings). Congrats to the Pens!!!, the young ones came up big in Detroit and the series, Nice bounce back for the pens from the way the season started. Look at the scoring from "role" players from Wings/Pens, If you are going to win a chanpionship in any sport you need the role and players, and for the wings they were no where to be found.
As for the wings going into next year, they will stay competitive, they do have a few decsions to make, as fans though we have really been spolied not to many teams can say each season you got a ligit shot each season, especially when so many pundunts thought it would end of them in a post salary cap league.
Time to focus on the Tigers, and not so down the road College and Pro football!

Guess what I left my neighbor's house with? Hint: it has a big hole in the side of it.I'm going to my neighbor's for the game (again) and he is a huge Wings fan. His daughter works in the bakery at Costco and plans to have a "Stanley Cup" cake with a Red Wings logo on it. They're pretty confident of the win at home I guess. I have to say I agree with them. Should be fun.
What a game. Congrats to the Pens and everyone in Pittsburgh. Enjoy the celebrations!
And to all the Wings fans out there, what a series! Can't wait to do this again! :up

It was good.
I watched some of that game last night and I thought it was great! I LOVED the fact that NO VISITING TEAM had not won a game 7 in ANY major sport in about 40 years...until last night.
cool....
cool....
Wouldn't this mean that all visiting teams have won game 7?...I LOVED the fact that NO VISITING TEAM had not won a game 7 in ANY major sport in about 40 years...until last night.

Actually, the '79 Pirates won game 7 in Baltimore about 30 years ago.
Congrats Tom! Were you at the Pirates game? I see where you were up pretty late (or early).
When is the victory parade? Plan on attending?

No, my wife had to work late, gave the tickets to my sister.
I'm sure they will announce the parade sometime today and no I wont attend, too many people crammed into a small area of a city surrounded by rivers, not fun to get back out.
This is a thing of beauty.

If you're going to point out the boo-birds when they had to deal with the opposing team celebrating on their home ice, then it's only fair to also note that the Wings fans cheered when Mario raised the cup.
Super Mario, an ex-Pens player saving the very franchise he played for when they were in jeopardy of relocating just a few years ago is a story that any NHL fan can appreciate.

The difference is, Hossa was offered a multi-year contract with the Pens. He turned it down for a 1-year deal with the Wings because he thought he'd have a better shot at the Cup with the Wings. It is the ultimate story of Irony.
Nostradamus today.... Nostra??????? Saturday.
To be continued....
Nostradumbass it is!
Congratulations to the Pittsburgh fans here. The better team won. We'll see you a year from now for the rubber match.
For those of you who think the Wings are dead - all I can tell you is that the way to the Stanley Cup Finals still goes through Detroit.
Disappointing finish to a great series. We'll be back again next year.

Paul,
I'll say the same thing to you that I PM'd to Jimbo last night:
Congrats on a GREAT year. Okay, you didn't get the ultimate prize, but you have a team that you can be VERY proud of, and that's saying a lot these days.
As far as the Wings being back, DAMN STRAIGHT they'll be back, and with a Lake Michigan sized chip on their shoulder!
The Red Wings organization is a well oiled machine. I only wish some of their success could rub off on the Bruins.
We're running out of "torches" to pass here in Detroit. We have to save some for when we burn the city down on "Devil's Night".
I'm glad you're happy. Does it take the sting out of your Lame Ducks season? Good luck making the playoffs next year.
BTW, what arrogance? The fans here, or the organization?
I would have traded an 0-16 season for the Lions for a another Stanley Cup.
Oh wait a minute, the Lion's did go 0-16! Somebody owes me a Stanley Cup.
