Well to be honest can i really say anything that hasnt already been said?

Great all around effort tonight by the Red Wings. I, like everyone else, was happy to see Pavel back on the ice playing field general. That guy is magic.

Now, on to a darker subject. The Penguins "antics" after going down 2-0 and eventually losing 5-0. It seems like most anti-penguins fans are screaming as loudly and as often as possible about how the Penguins are thugs. While you have the right to your opinions and whatever makes you feel better, i do not agree. They got frustrated and took some cheap penalties. Thats all it was. Happens almost every night in the regular season. A team gets down big and gets mad. Oh well get over it. Noone was hurt. Move on. Both teams are focused on game 6. Noone is thinking about game 5. I promise you. So the sooner everyone gets over all this hate then the better game 6 will be to watch.

Go Red Wings.

Please dont suck. I am tired of playing teams with sucky fans. Please dont say that the Red Wings are too old. They are not old. Please dont say they arent physical. They are when they need to be. Please dont say that the Red Wings get all the calls. They dont. Noone does. There is no team in the history of sport that has not been screwed over by the refs at some point. Please dont say all red wings fans are fair weather bandwagon jumpers. Yeah some are but alot of us were drawn in by the greats like Stevie Y and Mr. Hockey. Please dont say that your team is deeper talent wise. Untrue my friends.

I understand we are your biggest rivals. But please be patient with us if we dont agree that youre our most hated team. I dont like your team. That should be enough.

Over the past day and a half all I have been hearing are these reasons the Red Wings will lose. I say you are silly and will be sorely dissapointed.

The Hawks can win the series. But dont think for a second that the wings will roll over and say "oh they are too young and fast". Prepare yourselves for a roller coaster ride.
