The Wings simple need to use home ice to crank it back up. Need to play the way they did in games 5 & 6. I'll be watching every brutal moment from home. Could have gone to the game but my wife is out of town and no one to watch the little man. Oh well, hope there is a next round.

I can only assume your homer comment ws directed at me as I was the only person to use the word.

I would like to say there is nothing wrong with being a fan and backing your team. Thats exactly what a fan does. A homer is one who ignores the negative aspects of what there team does and sees anything against them as bias or being screwed.

That was the point I was trying to make prior.

I know I know. My point was that since Tom is in Chicago and a Hawks fan, he can call out the Ducks for a few cheapshots. I was poking fun at you suggesting that because I live in Metro Detroit and am a Wings fan, you would have called me a homer. Obviously I don't know it for a fact, I was just throwing a little jab in good fun.

P.S. for the record I do not think I am a homer. I AM a huge fan but I do not blindly assume my team deserves every call. I applaud good plays and good calls against my team when it's appropriate. For example, the Wings got smoked in Game 6. They had about 5-6 minutes of good play the whole game. The Ducks were the better team. The Wings offensive talent almost bailed them out in the last 30 seconds but they deserved to lose that game.

You should really be loving this one. I don't know who this team is that is playing the Penguins, but I am not sure how they got this far.

As I type, 4-0. Wow.

05-13-2009, 06:26 PM

Damn that sucks! So much for Overchokin' and the Caps. Stick a fork in them cuz they look like there done.

taltos · 05-13-2009, 06:28 PM

If they win tomorrow, it looks like the Bruins got the team that they wanted. The Caps gave us hell this year.

As much as I hate to say this, wether it be Boston or Carolina, they will face a very tough, determined and confident Pens team.

Damn it made me sick just to say that!

Ahbroody · 05-13-2009, 07:03 PM

here, let me smack you in the face with a hockey stick and we'll see how you react

Talk about late to the discussion.

Kind of bummed, I take my son to his beginner hockey class thursdays at 430 pacific. Then I got work tonight right after. Looks like my XM portable radio will be getting some use today.

05-14-2009, 12:28 PM

Less than 5 hrs till game time. I am so geeked! Damn I love hockey!

Ahbroody · 05-14-2009, 12:33 PM

Interesting.
I just heard that the Pens took zero penalities last night. Now I am not one for conspiracy theories, but that is odd. I am holding judgement to see how the Pens next series is called.

I hate to be the spreader for conspiracy theories, but also check out Bettman and his major love affair with Sid the Kid. They are letting bad breath be called against him.

05-14-2009, 12:46 PM

First off, congrats Kevin!

As for the below,

I love it!

Bettman is gonna get Sid his ring! The only love affair that is worse is the Chico Resch / Marty Brodeur gag fest (meant literally). It amazes the boys and I that he can even do the commentary with his mouth so full (if you know what I mean). It's so bad I mute the TV during Devils games.

lets compare what sid and ovi did shall we? two goals for sid one for ovi. I guess the league came down and stopped that first shot glove hand side by ovi....oh yeah there he is, directed the puck right to MAF. Flurry played LIGHTS OUT last night, sid had another gear that no one else did, the better team won.

I had a long response typed out but I'll end this post with

Nice Kevin!

But come on, not one penalty? In a playoff game!! They are hockey players not angels. Gotta admit it is odd.

Can't wait for tonights games!

Edit: I will keep hatin on Sid till he shows some class.

Ahbroody · 05-14-2009, 12:52 PM

Is it as open and disgusting as Grapes Love affair with Sid?
I got to tell you watching coaches corner some nights you just want to throw crap at the TV.
I am suprised they still give Cherry a microphone they way he chokes on thos good ole Canadian Boys and flames those horrible Euros. The worse was when he was comparing the ovechkin celebration to the Soccer goals celebration. He made sure to use a lot of ethnicity in the celebration footage as well. Grapes makes me laugh sometimes, but sometimes he is really sad
