Question

We want them to move away?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ah9Oy4Fm2WEY2ZkgdkZCWxDty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080526192949AADwdqV&show=7#profile-info-fPBLfCx3aa

I mean ya we lost the first two games but we are the Conference champions and we deserve to be there. We beat the Flyers in 5 games when we didn't beat them once in the regular season. I honestly think that the players are showing more respect than the fans. You know you would hate it if it was the other way. So what is up?

Answer 1

Hey, they live in Detroit. Being a bandwagon fan for the city's hockey team may be the only thing they have to gloat about all year. Have you been to Detroit lately? You can literally buy a house for cheaper than a car.

Answer 2

You or anyone for that fact DESERVES to be in the playoffs.  You have to EARN it.  Congrats to the Pens for making it this far.  It is quite an accomplishment but face it, they never played a team match-up like this one.  They are young and frustrated and keep losing their cool.  They need to learn how to be disciplined.  And the questions are just that...questions.  Don't be naive and think if it was the other way around that Pens fans would be any different with the gloating...

C'mon wake up.....

And I want to know why you changed your name too?

Answer 3

bandwagoners

don't let them cloud your judgment of us true wings fans

Answer 4

Some people are overly excited.  Its not like there arent Pens fans who show the same type of behaviour though.  It would be just as bad if the series was going the other way.

heres a quote from a pens fan earlier:

"It looked like the wings went to some alley in downtown detroit and grabbed the first crackhead they could find. Anyone else notice the needle marks on her arms? Typical detroit trash. Pathetic."  This was in reference to Detroits anthem singer.

Answer 5

the thing that is up is that ur players took cheap shots at our players because they are losing yea they are good but my respect for them is about to 0 those cheap shots to franzen were dirty and maybe ozzie dived but that guy had bad intentions and i don't care who u are going after another teams goalie is disrespectful and downright dirty and after he took out ozzie u didn't see us going after Fluery if it wasn't for Fluery u guys would be nothing so hey we can just go knock him over and get him injured then we can have a scoring frenzy and kill u guys although we are anywyas but look at it that way just becuase you are losing and can't score against ozzie dosen't mean you can try to injure him so you can score against our backup goalie that is cheap and unclassy and that is why everyone is talking smack about them because there is this thing called respect and they won't get it till they show our players with some respect and class becasue we have showed them nothing but that

Answer 6

Those aren't Wings fans, Just drunks with keyboards.

Answer 7

Relax...they just have some pretty low bandwagoners out there.  Most of the Wings fans are still pretty decent.

Let's just not stoop to their level...

Answer 8

you're almost as bad as the people that you're TRYING to call out. the 1st & 3rd questions are most likely not even from wing fans, and more likely fans of your classic rivals.

try to come back to reality. just because someone makes a derogatory comment about the pens doesn't make them a wings fan.

besides, a good chunk of wings fans are morons. just like every other teams' fans.

Answer 9

Crosby is going to be a good player someday, just not yet. Good looks do not make a hockey player. I think most Detroit fans are also fans of hockey, and we like all good players,expected a great series whether the  wings won or lost, and we are not getting one. Lets hope you guys make it interesting. The Pittsburgh kids look lost out there/

Answer 10

Notice all those classless posts are done by trolls and not classy  RW fans such as Moose, RWQ, Vinny and Nips. Case closed!

Answer 11

you notice these questions weren't asked till the cup finals=bandwagon fans

Answer 12

I wouldn't get too upset over their comments!

There just a bunch of low class citizens out to prove something; and cause trouble!!!!!!

The bad thing is, is that all they are proving is just how ignorant they are!

The majority of us Detroit Red Wings fans, are truly good people, just like the majority of Pittsburgh fans are.

It's always the few that cause the most trouble for many!!!!

Answer 13

Don't worry, they'll all be gone at the end of the playoffs.

Answer 14

Because come playoff time, the idiot fans of every team come out cocky, and talking trash.  The true fans don't post B.S. questions like these.  Trust me, Pens fans have just as many.  While I don't agree with the maturity of these questions, I do agree that the sock to the head of Franzen, just returning from concussion like symptoms, was pretty pathetic and Pronger-esque.

Answer 15

Don't let them get to you.  I have yet to see the REAL Wing fans from this section say anything disrespectful or offensive in this section.  The ones that are causing trouble are just a bunch of bandwagon fans who weren't here to support the Wings during the season, but are out of the woodworks now that they are up 2 nothing.  Notice none of these questions are from the classy and respected Red Wing fans from this section like NIPS, "you", and Red Wings Queen19.  So just look past it as it is nothing but clutter here in the hockey section.

Answer 16

First, 2-0 is grounds for trash talk. Had the Pens been up 2-0, there would be plenty of trash here as well. Just expect to hear a lot more of it!

The average IQ question is a little lame, but I do appreciate your answer! Hard to argue with!

The poor losers question is semi-legit. Those were a couple of cheap shots, but not scoring in the first two games is going to frustrate any team, especially if their young and cocky. That brings in a lot of physical play from emotion. To be honest, I think that's why they're losing. They have a young captain that may be a great player, but he doesn't yet know how to lead a team in the NHL. The Pens will have their cup this decade, but this year it's going to Detroit!

That last link doesn't work, so I don't know what it's about.

Answer 17

I think it's sad to see the Penguins resort to the same cheap shot tactics that other team from Pennsylvania makes a living on. I was expecting a highly skilled competition from what, up until this second game, had been a classy team. Let's hope Roberts and some of the other Pittsburg players can get an antidote for the Flyer venom they're infected with. If a kid like Crosby can play his heart out and not resort to that garbage, veterans like Roberts and the oaf who went after Osgood should, too.

Answer 18

Like everyone said.....bandwagoners....

Answer 19

The pens did have an easier schedule. Regular season means nothing special. Its a different game, different teams, different intensity.

Answer 20

I'll answer your question if you answer this....

Why did you change your name from I <3 Life & Basketball?

Answer 21

There are alot of aggitators on Yahoo Answers for every team and every sport, even every catogory.  This is a by-product of the combination of modern society and being able to maintain one's annonymity here.  Whatever gets posted here isn't worth getting worked up about.

Answer 22

all season people were saying that the Pens had a lot of bandwagoners, but I think these wings fans that just discovered the hockey section are ten times worse. But like Jenni said- classy RW fans such as Moose, RWQ, Vinny and Nip haven't done any of that, so I haven't taken much from it.

Answer 23

I don't think that's a true representation of TRUE Red Wings fans.   Sure, with it being the finals and the culmination of everything that they've been working for since October coming to a head, there's bound to be a lot of trash talking on both sides, but the real hockey fans (and not just Wings fans or Pens fans) can honestly say that they see the good and bad in both teams.  A lot of that comes from the bandwagoners and puck bunnies so please don't let it leave you with a bad image of all Wings fans.

As far as those questions go, the Pens fans can't honestly say that if the roles were reversed and the Pens were up 2-0, they wouldn't be gloating and talking trash about the Wings (that they're an aging team, European captain, etc.).   Just look at the questions that were asked before Game 1 and you'll see what I'm saying.

I'm not taking anything away from the Pens because given the fact that they were almost bankrupt before Lemieux bought the team and "saved them", it's unbelievable to think that they're the Eastern Conference Champtions.  It's a dream come true for them and considering the fact that they're a very young team when compared to the Wings, I'm sure that most of the players will get the chance to hoist the cup in the future.  Right now though, I think Detroit's going to do it again though so there's bound to be gloating and bragging about our boys in red.  

Go Wings!!!

P.S. To gldmj5, it's obvious that you do not live in Detroit and your comments are extremely ignorant so until you do some research on what's really going on in Detroit, please keep your comments to yourself because you sound like a childish loser pouting about the fact that Detroit is winning.
