Now that we're 3 games in, who do you think will win the Stanley Cup? Pens or Wings and why?

Question

Ok ok...sorry about that. I always wondered what was the appeal of asking that question.......none obviously!

Anyways, i know we all love hockey and most it has to offer. But what is one thing you can't stand about the game, be it the players, the fans, or even an aspect of the game itself and why?

Answer 1

I cant stand the whole aspect of what they have turned the game into anymore. Where's the fights were is the hits where's all the players with the missing teeth i mean come on were Americans that's what we fein for in hockey the game has turned into nothing but a political matter $$$$$$$$$ that's it. I don't dislike the players nor ne fans i give pens fans props lol with a team like that i mean this is there first good season in awhile don't get me wrong there in there rebuilding stages. But all in all there just not good enough for the wings. it was 2-0 a sweep and then AT HOME when there the best they won by one if i was a pens fan i wouldn't be so d**n cocky or confident!

Answer 2

of course Im going to say RedWings are going to win. The Pens didnt beat us, we beat ourselves last game. We werent clicking, passes were off, too many turn overs, etc. When we are playing the way we normally do its not even a contest. (I love how I always say "we" when Im talking about the Wings like hahaha).

There isnt anything that I can think of that I dislike about Hockey except for the bad calls, but what sport doesnt have that?

One thing I think is weird is all the head twitching some goalies do...like Manny Legace...its just kinda freaky.

Answer 3

The pens because they seem to want it more and put out the extra effort. Plus I am a stars fan and would love to see detroit lose. I also think that the fan base is stronger in Pittsburg and they can help drive their team towards victory better that the detroit fans can. The Pens have Crosby and in my opinion no player from the detroit bench can compete with him. They may be physically stronger but not skillfully. If the pens continue to want it like they did in Game three they will come out on top no doubt about it.

Answer 4

pens, because they will

Answer 5

Wings in 6 because they will lose one more

Answer 6

I think the Pens will win the next one but the Wings will win in game 7. They have more expierenced and the Pens will win it in the near future.

Answer 7

Wings

Answer 8

Detroit.........they had a chance to skate on the ice at Mellon, now they can win at Mellon.

Answer 9

GO PENS !!! Detroit is a fast and experienced but they don't have Crosby !!!

Answer 10

This series is shaping up to be a home-victory decided contest...

The Pens better figure out a way to beat the Wings in Detroit or it's gonna be Wings in 7, I think...

One thing I don't like is the new CBA - it was supposed to balance out the talent and make every market competitive, but once again the big markets have all the players...  it's a bit better, but my Oilers are sure suffering...

Answer 11

I think the Wings are going to take the Cup in a straight out battle. It's going to be awesome hockey, great match up. Why are they going to win? They have some pretty successful passing, forechecking, follow-up on their checking, they communicate on the ice effectively, almost like they read each other's minds, they are strong and quick, not as fast as Sid the Kid, I'll grant you, and they play a physical game without caving into pointless brawling. I am not taking away from the talent of the Pens in anyway, they are talented too, fast, strong, smart, adaptable. Let's face it, they are in the finals for a reason. This is a great match of talent. Both teams are going to have to reach way down inside to pull out a Championship performance. I just think it will ultimately be the Wings who hoist the Cup.

What do I hate about the game? I hate when the officials get stubborn and don't change their minds about an obviously bad call (they have the technology to prove that it was or wasn't -- I'm just sayin'). I hate when the fans are nasty about another team, (or an opposing fan) it's one thing not to like another team or think that a player like Avery is an @$$ for acting out on the ice, but to call each other names or say that a pro doesn't have any talent or is too old to play, gosh. That's harsh. I don't like the disrespect.

Answer 12

:O

I am utterly shocked at everyone who answered this question. Don't they know how to read first? lol

You know what? I really don't like the new jersey designs. That's the only thing I don't like. So many of them just look bad. Also, I would like it back on ESPN, even for one game per week. Even if the ratings are higher on VS, I think the NHL needs to be on ESPN. Other than that, I love most everything about hockey and the NHL.

TDK: I'm not sure... oh look, another one bites the dust, this time it's bill w, lol, make that 6... Wait wait, it's 7 now, this is hilarious! xD

Tuna Spearer: Brilliant! That's brilliant! And how perfectly appropriate for this question as well...

Answer 13

Haha You had me there for a sec. I'm like come on this guy's a Regular He should know better. Hmm...Something i Don't like about the game is the Instigator Rule. It's so ridiculous and pointless. Get rid of it.

Answer 14

Hi

I can't stand many of its illiterate part time fans.

Thank You

Answer 15

red wings, the pens will win the next one but after that the wings will domitate the rest , wings in 6

Answer 16

Detroit....because they don't have Fleury in net...go wings go!!!

Answer 17

I don't think anything has changed... Red Wing's are still the better team.

The one thing I can't stand? The marketing focus on individual players vs. the game itself and the teams. Hockey has chosen to follow basketball in this respect, and I feel it will hurt the league and the game long term.

Answer 18

Pittsburgh Penguins!!!

They deserve it because they play well against anyone... they are able to switch up their lines against teams they've never played before....

Everyone expects us to lose, but...

They can definitley win this!!!!!!

GO PENS!!!!
