Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

Overflow Thread #2: Red Wings at Penguins

Continuing the SB Nation Hockey game threads trying to raise money for Haiti, we're hosting Hockeytown for Haiti today during the game. The disaster is hard to summarize adequately other than absolute devastation and destruction to a nation that already had more than its share of problems. Join us in an effort to raise some money to go towards repairs and food for Haiti.

Please read the following before commenting:

How does this thread work?

 

  • For ever comment (that is relevant and not just a letter) Winging It will donate $0.05 to Haiti Relief fund. Our cap is 7,000 comments right now. You do not have to pay to comment at all, commenting is free. The money comes from our pockets. If you would like to contribute, see below.
  • We will be donating the money to the American Red Cross following the completion of the event.
How can you contribute?
  • Spread the word of the thread to those that you think would be interested. The more comments the better.
  • If you would like to donate, contact me by e-mail at mrnorristrophy[at]gmail[dot]com   . No donation is too small and we appreciate everything that you can contribute as we try to help the people of Haiti recover from the destruction caused by the earthquake and the aftershocks. 
  • We have a PayPal set up so you don't have to worry about giving a stranger your personal finances. 
  • If you would prefer to donate to the Red Cross directly, you can do so here. If you donate directly, please let us know so we can have you on our list of donors and the thank you post.
Rules, Regulations:
  • Play nice. We've got folks coming from Abel 2 Yzerman, some other Wings blogs, and PensBurgh has us linked so we're likely to have fans of both teams in here. I'd hope that you all respect each other given the situation and the cause for the thread. 
  • Enjoy the game. Too often we take sports too seriously and an event like that in Haiti is kind of an eye opener in terms of what's important.

We will open overflow game threads as necessary so if you feel things start to slow down on your thread, speak up.

I have gone so far out of my way to make sure that I’ve never actually seen a Penguin lift the cup from last season. That way, even though I know intellectually that it happened, my last memory is still of the wings winning.

by Doncosmic on Jan 31, 2010 1:14 PM CST reply actions  

I have to admit, this whole broadcast has been completely centered on the Penguins. Between the Crosby commercials, the Cup flashbacks, praise for Pittsburgh as a city, the Malkin interview… it feels like a Pittsburgh broadcast.

Of course I’m a Pens fan so I’m happy, but I can see how you guys want to hear about Detroit too.

by Cari on Jan 31, 2010 1:15 PM CST reply actions  

And it’s like that every time NBC has picked up a game for years now. Even when the Wings were 1st in the league, the story was always about the other team. I don’t get it.

by SnipeDangle on Jan 31, 2010 1:16 PM CST up reply actions  

I remember that after Detroit won the cup, we had to see a lot of flashbacks when we played them. In fact I vividly remember watching one of these Sunday games between Detroit and Pittsburgh and wishing they would stop showing Detroit with the cup.

But I don’t follow Detroit otherwise so I’ll take your word about the other years.

by Cari on Jan 31, 2010 1:18 PM CST up reply actions  

NBC are frontrunners, as I keep saying

They were all over the Red Wings in previous years, when we were the champs/best team

I would be if I thought the media could mind-read

I have no reason not to believe him when he says it will depend on how he feels. If he is up to playing at a level that he is happy with and still enjoys playing, he will be back. He won’t quit because he doesn’t want to sully his legacy by playing on a less-then awesome team.

As a neutral I gotta say the Pittsburgh slant to this broadcast is hard to swallow.

It’s not like they’re playing the Panthers or the Oilers or something, either. The Red Wings have some of the game’s greatest stars. Have they become yesterday’s men in half a season?

Reminds me of the time the late great Scott Young wrote about an event in Maple Leaf Gardens, “The Moscow Symphony Orchestra was playing, but I don’t know who against.”

It’s not like they’re playing the Panthers or the Oilers or something, either. The Red Wings have some of the game’s greatest stars. Have they become yesterday’s men in half a season?

Yes. Too many Swedes and Europeans don’t sell to Americans, too old, not young enough, flashy enough, hip enough. Young, cute, and new is the only thing that sells.

Agreed. Has to be. WTF is the rule for if they’re not going to enforce it in a clearcut case like that.

If it’s a penalty it’s got to be a penalty shot.

//sigh//

Still waiting for the Red Wings of ‘ol – puck posession offense, shut down defense.

It just seems they don’t have their swagger, the confidence to dominate & close.

Still putting the pieces back together before the playoffs.
Skill is there.
Desire is there.
Chemistry coming.
