Stanley Cup Playoffs - Page 8

1. Just because I happen to be a fan of a good team does not mean I am a bandwagon fan.

2. A bandwagon fan would no longer be with the wings after their choke last year, I am.

3. Anyone would want their team to play the easier team, not just me. It's common sense.

4. I grew up in Detroit and I take offense to your "people like you" statement. If you cannot act mature on this message board, please go post somewhere else.

Talk hockey or shut-up.

Now to my wishes for the final three second round teams:
Go Kings
Go Habs
Go Leafs

"2. A bandwagon fan would no longer be with the wings after their choke last year, I am."

But they would like the team after their all of their signings during the offseason last year. They've had the cup won since day one and most people have known that.

"3. Anyone would want their team to play the easier team, not just me. It's common sense."

This is mostly true, but there are the group of people that want to see them play LA and than Colorado for revenge, not just because they are the easier team.

"4. I grew up in Detroit and I take offense to your "people like you" statement. If you cannot act mature on this message board, please go post somewhere else. Talk hockey or shut-up."

Immature? I see statements like this all of the time by the same group of people that were cussing out the wings after games 1 and 2 on the wings board. When has a post of mine in here not been about hockey?

As lil g would say, just drink a labatts and watch the damn games.

Ex, you're the one who gave up on your team and was cussing them out, not me.

The wings suck a$$, I have disowned them as my fav team after game 1 ended, same crap every year since I started watching this sport back in 93. I pretty much stopped watching hockey anyways and detroit continuing their sucky ways won't help me watch it again. I even made a bet at work that the canucks would beat the wings so vanc. better win.

BTW: If they win the stanley cup it won't change my opinion of the wings, lol

Are you sure you're not just a little bitter that you lost your bet?

Not bitter at all, I did a double or nothing even though I know I will lose that too. Thats all I have to say about the wings, I usually don't talk to the bandwagoner fans here so the same applies to you.

Too bad my Billy Muckalt hasn't seen any ice time.

I'm right there with you. I was so disappointed yesterday, mainly because no more Canucks hockey til October, but I was so proud of them. They fought hard to the end and the cheers from the fans was so awesome. They way they were cheering if I didn't know the score of that game I would have thought the Nucks were winning, not about to be eliminated on home ice.

Cannot wait til next season!!

But now my energy must go to Ottawa (most of friends are now cheering for the Habs.)

Go Sens!

I was really impressed at how the Canucks fans cheered them off the ice after the game yesterday. The Canucks never stopped, even had me thinking a possible game seven at points. They kept inching their way back into the game. But definitely kudos to the home fans.

yup, wings fans wouldn't do that.
Ottawa will slaughter anyone in the next round, hopefully the leafs.

You're right Lil g I doubt the fans would cheer them off the ice if they lost.

But if you look at it from the point of view that Detroit is "supposed to" win the cup this year, I could see why they would boo (I'm not saying I agree they should boo them though).
Vancouver on the other hand had nothing to lose in losing to the number one seed, thus the crowd cheered them for doing as well as they did and not giving up.

I disagree, Wings fans would have been angry but I would hope (and believe they would) cheer their team...I mean, two minutes before Vancouver lost, the fans were chucking bottles and pops onto the ice so it's not like they weren't pissed off too.

On a brighter note: Great saves by Ozzie and some high action fighting going on in the late third period of the NYI vs. Toronto game. Yeah Islanders!

Thats just the few drunken fans there. Wingnut's last comment brings up a good point. Since Detroit already has the cup won, if they lost don't you think most of their fans would throw stuff on the ice? You can't say all Vancouver fans throw bottles and soda on the ice when it is just a few that do it. All stadiums have those "few" that commit acts like that.

Lil g, sorry for using labatts, you always tell me that you drink camo all the time, my bad. Drink camo and watch the damn games.

First, I never said it was all the fans.

Second, when did the Wings win the cup...did I miss the parade?!? As much as I would love to see my team win, the playoffs aren't over yet. I'm not going to start celebrating until/unless we win the Western Conference Finals.

The wings have had it won the day the signed hasek. Maybe LA can pull off the upset in game 7, that would be interesting. Not having Forsberg in the lineup in game 6 was a huge loss for them.
