The Freakin’ Detroit Red Wings…
in My Rants
as Detroit, Detroit Red Wings, Great One, Malkin, Marion Hossa, Pittsburgh Penguins, Red Wings, Sidney Crosby, Stanley Cup, Wings
The Red Wings didn’t bring it last night….in fact, I didn’t even feel like I was watching Game 7, the LAST game of the SEASON. I thought for sure Detroit had it in the bag. But to lose to Pittsburgh who just BARELY made it into the playoffs in the first place? HELL NO!!! *Sigh*
Ok, the whole reason Marion Hossa left the Penguins and signed with the Red Wings in July of 2008 was because he felt that the Red Wings had the best shot at winning the cup…he even turned down A LOT of money to do so. And did you SEE how red his face was last night? He KNEW he had to shake hands with the Penguins…a team he ALL BUT SAID wouldn’t win the cup. Poor guy.
You know what else I don’t get? Sidney Crosby touches the Prince of Wales trophy and STILL wins the cup. How can that be??? I know from several NHL friends that it is a NO-NO to touch the President’s trophy or the Prince of Wales trophy because it meant you wouldn’t “touch the Stanley Cup.” How did he do that? I am STILL in disbelief over that! Maybe this will prove to everyone that just because the goalie went around his couch 3 times before he left the house, doesn’t mean he’ll win…
And don’t get me wrong…I LOVE the fact that Crosby and Malkin won the cup and so early in their careers to boot. I mean, Sidney not only won the cup at an earlier age and at an earlier point in his career than our beloved Great One did, but he was the youngest captain to hoist the cup as well. And I do so truly believe that Malkin deserves to be MVP. Anybody who saw him play saw that. And, if it hadn’t been my Red Wings they were playing, I would have been rooting the Penguins on myself…but,
*WAH!!!*
Sorry for the Wings losing last night. I am a Ducks fan and was rooting for the Penguins. I feel for you, but I thank you for being a true fan and giving props to Sid the Kid and Malkin for tor their achievements!!!!! It really was nice to see Sid hoist the Cup!
The 09-10 season is a short 4 months away, and we get to do this all over again. Thats why I love this game so much! Thanx Dawn for the great post!!!
Scott, I always love to hear from other hockey fans! Ah yes, only a few short, but painfully dull months to go (trying not to cry…lol)…how will we survive?? Thanks for reading my blog…you rock!! {{Hugs}}
Sorry about the RedWings but as a Pens fan I loved every moment of game 7. And more importantly getting the Wings back for winning the cup last year in Pittsburgh.
You should go to Starbucks and get the new coffee of the month they are offering. It is called the Hossa.
Its coffee without the Cup!!!!! LOL
Better Luck next year, unless we face-off again.
I agree, David…it was a beautiful Game 7. I’m not a Pens hater at all, just FYI! And the Hossa joke? Priceless!! Thanks for reading my blog!
