Sorry When it's 5-0, a another Powerplay means Sh-t. But hey, that's the Wings toughness is using their Powerplay right?

When you defect, you can't go back. Not a single Soviet Bloc player that defected returned while the Soviet Bloc was still the Soviet Bloc. They'd have been locked up the second they stepped off the plane.

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

You guys are killing me with this argument of who's the tougher team. It's like arguing over who the hotter celebrity is, Rosie O'Donnell or Barbara Streisand.

Exactly what I was thinking, and if they didn't defect, neither government would have let them come here and play hockey.

Please explain to me why the fuk the Wings needed another PP when they were up 5-0 in the third period? They already had the game won. So yeah, to answer your question, I sure as hell would prefer a fight to another PP in that circumstance.

If you are talking about a close game, then of course I understand why you wouldn't fight or retaliate, but the Wings play this way all year round. It isn't like they kick ass during the regular season and then ratchet it down and turn the other cheek during the playoffs in order to win. This is how they play ALL the time and is it a shock that guys on a FIGHTING website don't like the Wings???

Of course this is the SCF and the only thing that matters is winning.

Yeah dickhead, show me where I ever said the cup is no longer hard to win????? You can't because once again you're making it up.

BTW - the last 2 winners of the Cup were the Wings (unbelievably soft) and the Ducks (one of the toughest teams in years to win the cup), so yeah, your statement that tough and soft teams can win the cup is true. Congrats for such insight.

You defend to the death the biggest bunch of puss!es to ever step on the ice, you pretend they are tough, and then you make sh!t up, wow you sure add a lot to this site.

Go post on the Wings' boards and leave the real hockey fans, you know those of us that actually like fighting, to talk about the game.

You just cannot define tough.. but you are a moron. Its been defined for you but since you clearly have never played hockey you dont know what its like to stand in front of the net, go into the corners, take hits, give hits, block shots. You think a team doesnt have to be tough to do those things. You are in the very small minority in the hockey world. You think a team must fight to be tough and if they dont fight they cannot be considered tough. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Not the dreaded "go post on the Wings board" bit again.

You think the Cup is not longer the toughest in sports to win is what I said. You feel the need to spin that into 'hard to win'. But again you are a moron. Do yourself a favor and stop making yourself look like a fool.

Now how bout that Hordi insult, Liar.

Im not just talking about this game, but every game. And if im not mistaken wasn't the score 4-0 and Zetterberg scored the 5-0 goal on that powerplay? And a 4-0 game is far from over in the 2nd even a 5-0 game isn't impossible, (swedens comeback vs Finland in 2003 comes to mind). Especially against the Pens. Im not really trying to defend the Wings as a team as i think the Red Wings are the most frustrating team to like during the regular season, only Helms decision not to drop the gloves in this incident and not giving the pens what they want in this game. I respect your opinion but i just cant see how a fight is more important then a goal in the SCF, even if its already a 4-0 lead.

Wow Red, your insults are so painful and so hurtful, I really wish you wouldn't be such a "tough" guy.

You and the rest of your Red Wing apologists are the only morons on the planet that thing your team is tough because it can get the sh!t beat out of it but still win. I've got news for you, winning doesn't equal tough. Your team is a bunch of puss!es and they are not a tough team. Getting hit and not retaliating isn't tough. It may be smart. It may win hockey games in todays game. It might even be the "right" play, but one fuking thing it isn't is tough.

Your team is pathetic and so are you and your hilarious internet insults.

Now you've made up a red herring where you think that Wings fans equate winning with being tough? Horrible spin Sam. Only a moron.

You have FAILED to even address one single issue I've raised about what tough actually is. Since you've never played that does not surprise me.

Again, you are in the very small minority in the hockey community who think the Wings are soft. Wait, you're not in the hockey community.

What fuking dream world do you live in that ANYONE thinks that the Wings are not soft? EVERYONE thinks they are a bunch of puss!es - except for you Red Wing apologists. Do you not read any posts on this site? I'm not talking about fighting either, I'm talking about a style of play that forgoes the physical side of the game in favor of puck possession. Simply staking out a position in front of the net does not equal toughness - not in todays game where the defenseman can't knock you on your ass or cross-check the sh!t out of you. Toughness is not "turning" the other cheek and drawing a penalty, and it sure as sh!t isn't letting your star players getting the sh!t beat out of them without responding.

Face it, your team isn't tough and everyone but you knows it.

As for my hockey experience, I've probably played more games in my life then you've watched, so nice try little man. You have never shown even a remote understanding of the game in your posts on this site and sorry, simply claiming to be an expert on hockey doesn't make it so.

Yeah, right Sam. Whatever you say Sam.
