Game 2: Red Wings 3 Penguins 0

I don't know what's more embarrassing if you are a Pittsburgh fan or associated with the Pens in any way; the fact that your team hasn't even scored a goal in this series yet, or the fact that your head coach and supposed best player (Crosby) did nothing but moan and groan at the end of the game during the press conference.

All Michel Therrien , the pens d-bag head coach whose face looks like the result of a walrus fucking a horse, did at the end of the game was complain about officiating and making it seem like it had such a huge impact on the game and called Detroit the best team in the NHL at obstruction.

As for Sidney Crosby, well here's what he said....."I don't think they played much better then us, we just have to make sure we capitalize more."

Now I'm not expecting opponents to say "The Wings are so much better than us" or "We deserve to lose," but it does sound to me like the Penguins are frustrated with and haven't had to deal with the Red Wings' shut down style of play, and it's getting in their heads and frustrating the hell out of them. Therrien needs to stop spending his time focusing on blaming officials and become a head coach. Find a way to get your team to put the puck in the net! Pittsburgh has had a few good chances here and there, but Ozzie either made a huge save or the Penguins choked on the shot.

And Sid, don't go saying that the Wings didn't play much better than the Pens. I'd buy it if the press conference was after the first period of Game 1. Unfortunately, the last five periods your team as gotten worked defensively, you guys have allowed untimely goals mostly to Wings that have done nothing offensively all playoffs long (Samuelsson, Cleary, Filpulla), and you've been outshot 59-29. So save it, savior. You're supposed to be the "savior of the NHL" and you're making excuses in your first defining moment. Embarrassing

Speaking of embarrassing, let's talk about Chris Osgood. He's been absolutely outstanding this playoffs and a front runner for the Conn Smythe if the Wings pull this off, but his embellishing of contact around the goal is kinda getting out of hand. I think we can do without the acting around the goal Ozzie. Just stay in the net and do what you do best. I'm kinda pissed that the end of game scuffle happened around the net because that's gonna get Pittsburgh fired up for Game 3, but the Wings have been up 2-0 in every series and should now know that the toughest period they'll have to face from here on out is the first period of the next game...in Pittsburgh...all the fans wearing white (original idea)....looking to get that first goal. What will define the Wings play on the road is how they respond when the Pens finally put one behind #30. If it happens, that is.......




2 MORE! I'm gonna miss Game 3 :(
