Detroit sucks.
Actually, they're pretty good.
The Pens are 1-0 in their last one visit to Joe Louis Arena.
How many games did Hossa play with the Pens, like, 8?
Get real.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Since there's really no backstory to this game, no rivalries, and no anger,
we looked into our crystal testicles and have seen how the game will play out.
GORDIE HOWE -- SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE
His first order of business will be ordering the players to play naked and sweat as much as possible. He will be fitted with a coat of iron armor so that when he turns to dust on the ice, it will still look like someone is out there.
HOSSA
The Red Wings get awarded a power play early in the first period. Hossa jumps onto the ice for the power play but sees a five-dollar bill on the bench and races for it. The Pens take advantage of the mishap, and Godard puts one past Osgood.
THE RED BLAZER
Tied 3-3 late in the third, the Pens find themselves on a 5-on-3 power play. But the man advantage gets interrupted when a cable holding Steve Yzerman aloft above the playing surface snaps and he goes careening to the ice surface. He survives the fall, however, cheating death in the same manner he cheated his way onto the executive board for Team Canada.

NATE
what a chair
Some Lions fan touched the Stanley Cup and chanted Crosby
in order to jinx him and the Penguins. PUCK DADDY
Lions fan. We thought all Lions fans killed themselves years ago.
A new blog on the scene, PUCK HUFFERS, has a preview of the game.

So pumped for this one
excellent, excellent gameday post.
LETS GO PENS!!!
Sid shows Hossa what he is missing tonight.
Go Pens.
i bet free candy will be lining up hossa at some point
Damn, I'm gonna miss the first half at my eight year old's gymnastics class.
Good luck to all (especially the Wings though, eh?)
Let's do this shit!
*dies*
Go Pens.
what a photo.
DO IT
GO PENS!!!
(I hear you all should really check out that PuckHuffers shit.)
Good Sweet Lord, I am pumped.
I'm not wishing harm on anyone, but I hope Godard sets them straight. haha.
STAAL, get another goal.
Go Pens.
Sid has a hat trick tonight... gordie howe style
GO PENS
This is really not a bitter comment (really), but why do people bother buying actual Hossa jerseys?
I can totally understand jersey t-shirts...but, that jersey is going to be worthless the next season, regardless of who he's playing for.
WOO. haha
This Sux have to listen to VRS sucky comitary.....
The Red Wings get awarded a power play early in the first period. Hossa jumps onto the ice for the power play but sees a five-dollar bill on the bench and races for it.
Lolz. Hey, they've already mentioned a few times that this "Marian Hossa" guy used to play in Pittsburgh. Anyone familiar with him?
Get in the fast lane Grandma...
Game hasn't even happened yet and I'm already dying.
Elroy = is not passing Tommy Barrasso in wins TONIGHT.
DO IT.
Does anyone know where I can watch online?? Thanks!
FUCK TIME WARNER CABLE.
I pay for NHL Center Ice, NHL Network, and a sports package which is the only way to get Versus, on top of internet and digital cable...
And what channel is "unavailable" right now and broken?? VERSUS.
On the phone with them, they think the box is fucked.
Go to hell Time Warner.
How well do these 'feeds' work?
www.justin.tv/sportzone2/popout
don't mind versus if i can listen to doc emrick. it's the eastern conference finals crew that's unbearable
I feel like there's something wrong with me because I just can't get angsty about this match up. I know they beat us in the Finals last year, but I still can't bring myself to care about the Wings. Half of their guys will be moving to Shady Pines in the next three years and our stars will still be under 25.
Again with the Hossa. I wish I knew who they were talking about.
MAF is coming out strong. WOO.
Thanks so much Debrisslide! Woohoo GO PENS!
i'm pretty sure this is malkin's first career game against detroit
fuck yeah bing!!!
Seeing all those empty seats at the "The Joe" makes me even more bitter about them winning the Cup last year. Even though there'd be no revenge factor for the wings, how would you not wanna go to a finals rematch game??? Their fans deserve shit
BIIIIIIIIIING.
Way to go, Gary's Baby Boy.
EAT IT HOSSA!
Buries It
it makes it so much better that satan got the primary assist, fuck hossa
Seeing all those empty seats at the "The Joe" makes me even more bitter about them winning the Cup last year.
No kidding, that's just pathetic. I demand the immediate and unconditional surrender of the nickname Hockey Town.
I think it woulda been funny if marc andre parodyd his trip out onto the ice, just as a "yea, I fell, I think its funny too, get over it."
This ain't no Stanley Cup Final, bitches.
dont want to jinx anything but the pens look hungry so far. wooooooo
That montreal goal...sick. Pens look confident compared to the first game of last years finals.
Hockey Town sure is quiet right now.
shit. scuds.
Oh no, Scuds! :(
Oh, Scuds.
I hope he's okay.
Oh great, now our third top-4 defenseman is out.
Aren't injuries just great?
That sounded really unsympathetic, but I really meant it.
Man oh man.
scuderi- fuck... Sydor doing cartwheels again?
better to have injuries now than in the spring
maybe it was just a stinger. maybe he'll be back.
Orpik is playing over 30 minutes tonight. Bank on it.
i think maybe not having gonch and whitney is helping the pens tonight, instead of streaking thru the neutral zone looking for the long outlet, its more of a controlled team effort carrying it thru, detroit's defense doesn't look nearly as effective as it did in the finals
fuck
Looks like McCarty took his Geritol tonight.
Man that building sounds empty on the radio.
Didn't realize McCarty was outta rehab
yay scuds is back
fucking shit
double fuck
Please don't take any more penalties. Please. Please. If we stay out of the box, we can win, but if we allow them to be on the PP for a bunch of the game, we might as well just leave now.
Wow in 5 minutes it feels like June again
now i remember why i hate all these faggots
there goes the perfect-for-november penalty kill
I'm so glad to see Scuds back. That could have been nasty.
The only thing that really bothers me about that second goal is that it was Holmstrom who scored it. His entire game is parking his fat old ass in front of the goalie and moving his stick around, and then looking incredulously at the ref any time someone tries to move him. He's good at it, so I guess I'll give credit where it's due, but still. I can't stand the guy.
goddamn these guys are all over us. no time no space.
If you get a ticket for this game...
Doesn't look like it was too tough to get a ticket for that game, Doc.
Of course they throw in Conklin instead of OsHorrible.
come on. stop taking fucking penalties!!!
Oh, and why the fuck are we handing them Power Plays?
Seriously, they were handing out tickets to the bums as part of their "Please god, please help us fill the Joe" campaign.
And can we please stop taking penalties. I'm about to fucking cry. If they beat us thats fine, but can we not shoot ourselves in the foot?
One-goal leads are whatev.
shots 14-5 detroit... sounds familiar
of course these penalties have a lot to do with that
uhhh, nulpher, you know that *is* Elroy in goal for Detroit, right?
god, i remember the little clutching and grabbing shit. its too small to call a penalty on, but they dont give you enough time to do anything when they're riding your ass all over the ice. its impressive, but christ do i hate it
HCMT needs to calm the boys down in the lockerroom. Simple as this: We can skate with these guys, we were dictating the play before we started getting bogged down with penalties. We're playing solid hockey, let's get back to where we were the first half of the first.
Also, Detroit needs to take Hockey Town off their ice, because it's a fucking joke. Rematch of the Stanley Cup Finals, you're the defending cup Champs, and you STILL can't sell your building out? What a fucking Joke. You're not even "Passing Interest in Hockey Town" because even Carolina and Tampa Bay sold out when they were champions. Jokes.
Brian Engbolm without a mullet is like a dick without balls.
stewy hahahahah.
My friend and I were discussing the same thing.
Penalties? Throwing the puck at their feet? Wtf.
Does anyone else despise Vs. announcers?
doc emrick is good but everyone else sucks ass
Joe the Plumber > Versus
I like Edzo, he's funny, kinda like the Bibster, but they always have some other douche with Doc this season, it's almost never Edzo.
http://atdhe.net/live-tv-362.html
watch the game here.
don emrick is ok, but during that period he somehow stated that fleury played for detroit and that crosby took a shot in on fleury. big mistakes.
Versus' B Team > Versus' A Team.
These are my observations after the first period:
1) I asked my wife why they only gave out 10,000 Veteran's Day pins instead of giving them to everyone. Then I realised that they probably didn't sell more than 10,000 tickets.
2) I didn't realise there was a crowd in the arena until after the first goal.
3) According to the VS. announcers every member of the Red Wings team is the greatest at everything they do.
4) McCarty probably left the interview early to see if he could score some blow.
5) The Pens need to stop getting penalties.
6) Marian is a girl's name.
jesus
fuck my balls
fuck.
Whoops!
can we not get blown out, please?
All 1500 people in the building jumped to their feet in jubilation!
Fuck I was about to say at least they didn't call the high stick on letang... i guess not
WHAT THE FUCK!? ANOTHER PENALTY? FOR WHAT?
seriously, another penalty???
C BLOG = Choke Blog
Good thing I'm drinking
please, at least make these penalties count. knock someones teeth out or something.
maybe the refs will call a penalty on that. cunts.
we need some "even up" calls
OK, that is like the third time I have seen fans sitting right along the glass get up RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF PLAY to leave their seats.
great. the refs are fucking blind.
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!
fuck yeah
THATS WHAT WE NEED WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SOME LUCKY BOUNCES
Yeah!
Lange, "Osgood looked STUNNED."
superstar is starting to become somewhat of a superstar lol
Mad Max :)
Talbot pulls a Holmstrom. Chicka-chee-chee.
God forbid the Pens get a lil good karma in the shithole arena
The ref is actually Pierre McGuire.
vomit.
tackling people in front of the net, sure thats not a penalty.
As Jack Lambert used to say, "If you can't beat 'em, then beat 'em up." Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of goonery...(with apologies to Big Billy Shakes.
Make up call anyone...
Oh my god... the comments on the Puck Daddy article are absolutely hilarious.
Woah, no sooner I say it....
PPG, PENS.
I heard conklin mentioned on the radio. Unless it was a mistake. This damn computer is too slow to handle the online feed (I'm using a pentium 1 backup system since my desktop died last night). Its taking forever to just load the blog on this...
the arena is so quiet the refs dont even need a microphone for us to hear what the call is
Who scored I had to leave my house for a little bit?
Mad Max.
DIE, JUDAS!
Sykie off of Talbots skate.. so i guess talbot.
Fleury poops in Marian's mouth.
O I got it now
pens are playing with more emotion and going to the net. gotta love that.
This game has completely turned around. Our forcheck is raping them now.
This is gonna sound like a braindead comment but it seems like we don't use the "advantage" in the powerplay. Instead of quick passing to set up legit one-timers and such we spend half the time just flinging the puck around the boards and trying to maintain possession
I wish so much life-long harm on the whole Detroit team that I'm beginning to worry myself.
malkanian, I agree. I remember one power play last season where everyone on the ice just kept setting Malkin up for slapshot after slapshot. It was beautiful, and it worked.
I actually like the Detroit team and have a shit load of respect for them, but their fans are the biggest douches next to canadians.
ranger fans have to be up there on the list too
Damn commercials.
I'd pull for ANYBODY against this team...
YEA GODARD! i like it
hahaha kronwall tried to line up Godard and got spanked. What a joke, I guess he can't hit without leaping into the man.
Nobody is worse than Buffalo fans.
Shit...just announced. Scuds is out. Damnit!
CMON FED EX SHOOT THE FUCKING PUCK!
This game's got more action than Paris Hilton's bedroom.
Dear Lord.
versus doesn't know the rule that u don't go to commercial after icing
I could live with Scuds being out if Geno fired a big shot into Franzen's grille
HOW IS THAT NOT INTERFERENE?
@fleuryous...I don't know if that's even possible..lolz
motherfucker
fucking shit.
fuck this shit
Count Chocula puts one in. Assist to Holmstrom's giant ass.
Anybody wanna grow a pair & get him outta Fleury's way???
So who wants to step up and pull a todd bertuzzi on Holmstrom???
I wouldn't mind if it killed him...
i cant believe this cunt osgood wins cups. all thanks to the red wings system. he never earned and never will earn shit.
Are the Penguins ever going to make any attempt to move Holmstrom from the front of the net?
What the hell is wrong with our defense?
Sid Malkin Talbot line, HCMT is serious about this shit.
OK, my laptop is dead, so I'm done on here for this game, lets hope it works out boys and girls.
Ugh...this game is damaging my soul
The Red Wings have just been artistic.
I seriously hope that no Wings fan has the audacity to claim that Vs. has some kind of Penguins favoritism ever again. I've never heard this much ass kissing in my life.
penexper:
I don't think they will. If he was simply overpowering that'd be one thing but to completely lose him on the ice is another. Nobody was within 5 feet of him
I find myself SCREAMING at the TV right now. Expletives are flying. I fucking hate this team. The fat fucks. Would someone please lay out Holmstrom already?? WTF??!!?
And this Ryan Malone commercial is pissing me off too. Fuck you too. Thats right.
I think our winning stats for "trailing after 2" are better than "leading after 2."
Just saying.
its safe to say the red wings are the sole reason why i want to punch anything and anyone that looks swedish
I don't understand how this team doesn't do fundamental things like covering the players that stand in front of your net or shooting the puck instead of just passing it.
It's infuriating.
So are the announcers. Every move the Red Wings do is performed to perfection.
This team will never win anything important if they can't do some basic things right.
The VS. Announcers need to take Hossa's Dick out of there ass and spit at Datsuks cock for a bit and try not to sound to biased.
spit out not at
This game isn't 100% pathetic, people.
no, besides a couple of bad penalties and a couple of bad plays, i think the pens are playing with a lot of heart and grit at times. i like the effort, but it still feels like shit losing to this fucking team AGAIN! hoping for a crazy third.
Pens are playing hard for us and we are still in this game. One goal and the flakey "More interested in waving at the camera then watching the game" Red Wing fans will fall silent and the momentum will come back to ourside.
The Pens are playing gutsy, LeGame and Go-Go Boots have gained a huge amount of respect in my book as they are playing huge with even bigger minutes then they've been getting this season.
Cooke and Staal set the tone at the end of the period with the big check on Datsyuk. We're not gonna back down.
It's really terrible because my head is telling me this game in the end doesn't matter all that match, my heart is telling me this is the most important game of the season. I think we can lie to ourselves all we want about being over the Cup Finals and this being a new season. But we all definatly want that revenge.
losing 4-2 after 2 to detroit is better than losing 3-2 after 2 to the islanders
@Slush-that rant was artistic.
Best part so far..... The Goddard hit and drag on that D (didn't get his name as he tumble along)
i'm really sick of this enzyte commercial, i think i'd rather hear "saved by zero"
rage- thanks. i dont normally let it fly in here, but I am fucking pissed. cant help it. i think we all feel this way right now. i still have hope.
the goon- you got it. not over it. want us to beat this team more than ever. i find myself saying 'fuck you' to all of them on the close-ups. still haaaate them.
i kinda wish our road PP wasnt the worst in the world...
Want more of those Sasquatch Jerkey commercials.
@oocally
It was Mr. Leaves His Feet himself, Kronwall.
The VS announcers make me want to stab my ears with a long pen.
Well Going back to watch The Pens Open a 3rd Period Ass Whooping on the dirty Tampax (Redwings)......
Orpiksmash- good point
gonchar probably scores on that slapper
Now it's time for the announcers to jerk off about how absolutely amazing the Wings' powerplay is.
i hope the red wings team plane crashes into the fucking joe.
I really do hate Versus.
thank you pops
can't really argue with the announcers, its not like the pens have a lousy PK
WHY THE FUCK do the announcers keep jobbing Bing for not having 18 goals??? He has 18 pts. WTF
im going to slit a baby's throat
dont we all. hate them.
i hope the whole red wings team gets aids from each other and dies.
oooooohh yeeesss, we do
OH GOD DAMMIT FOR FUCK SAKE!!!
"The artistry continues" my fucking ass!
@ oocally
Sasquatch is the best.
what...the...fuck...
how much did they have to pay Sid to call versus 'the home of hockey"?
Well... 5 on 3... lets do this.
Make this shit hurt.
5-on-3 lets go!
I fucking hate Chris Osgood.
He just stands there in front of the net, faces hardly any shots, faces hardly any traffic, and is praised as if he has anything at all to do with the Wings' victories.
the refs wait until were down 3 to start calling shit? thanks, cunts.
Ok. So I leave the house to print pictures for a funeral and come back to find it 5-2 and somehow feel even worse. Thanks detroit fucktards
holy shit, geno
@ Allison
sorry. those douche bags are insensitive ass clowns
sweetest 5-3 sequence in history!
FOR THE MOTHERLAND!
Fuckin A :)
Malkin is awesome.
Lange: Osgood just lost his liquor license!
>Listening on the radio cause seeing the faces of those dicks on the Wings makes me want to throw a beer bottle at the TV screen.
Stallsie!
