I hate the Redwings

PrintAfter watching Game 6 of the Wings/Ducks series, I just felt the need to tell people that I absolutely hate the Redwings. All of their fans are absolute homers and never take blame for any short comings they have.
They all blame Curtis Joseph for playing like garbage vs the Ducks when J.S Giguere stole almost the entire playoffs (won the Conn Smythe in a losing effort).
They're also crying and whining about game 3's bogus call (it was bogus) and are gonna blame the entire playoffs on that one call. The goal would have forced overtime and anything could have happened and in the wake of that call the Wings won the next 2 games by an overall margin of 10-4. Watching game 6 I heard excuses of minicule offsides and penalty calls and no one admitting that they just played poorly.
And it absolutely bugs me to no end that they can play so well in the regular season and seem so vulnerable in the playoffs.
I hate the Redwings...

espn doesnt know hockey
in their recap of the game, they mention the last time the pink wings were in a game 7 situation was 2002, against the avs and that it was roy’s final career game. which it wasnt.
i hate the redwings and i hate espn.
Maybe it’s a Detroiter writing it, they all think the same thing. Apparently the 2002-2003 season didn’t happen, which is odd, because I distinctly remember watching my first Stanley Cup games that year. Damn you New jersey

Fuck the Red Wings.

Tell us how you really feel.

Why waste the watermelons, I’m sure we can wrap some boulders in barbed wire….maybe even some logs.

FYI
Tex and I have been joining the GDTs at BattleofCali during the Ducks/Wings games. There’s a handful of Ducks fans, but everyone else there just hate the Wings. There’s also 2 Wings fans there for some unknown reason (actually it’s like how they show up in droves at the Pepsi Center), and last night they called Budaj and Raycroft ugly. LoL, considering whom they have in net! (And it was in response to something I wrote about not wanting to see Osgood naked & Tex following up in vehement agreement. Hee hee.)
Thats a bit harsh, Budaj seems like an average looking guy.

Budaj
Is a very good looking guy, if your into that kind of thing. Osgood? Not so much.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.

This falls in line with my hypothesis that Red Wings fans are not ancestors of a primate-like being, as most humans, but rather are the evolutionary descendants of flesh-eating bacteria. They’re survival seems to be predicated on gathering in small clusters and attacking a group of larger genetically superior beings.
In fact, I’m writing my Biology PhD Thesis on it right now.

it is remarkable how every nhl team’s fans complain about wings fans showing up in their arenas in huge numbers whenever the wings are in town.
they are like non-internet trolls, if you know what i mean.
Its because
No one wants to live in detroit, not even detroit “fans”. Oh, that and the bandwagon just went through.
Get rid of the loser point
08-09 Avs- can we decline the penalty?
You Had Me At
“I hate the Red Wings”.

so you're saying
we found a pick up line that works with you.

Well
Yeah, It’s a start, anyway. But no one should ever want to take on my unreasonable expectations (read being human).

It got a rec from me
just for the title.

Should we expect the flying V tonight? Oh wait, they aren’t “mighty” anymore, I forgot. Either way…QUACK QUACK!!
(Although I must say a rivalry series between the hometown Hawks, and the hated Wings would make for some good entertainment)

It’s more entertaining to watch Red Wings go through the 5 stages of grief while we mock them. I think my favorite stage to laugh at them in is Anger, and possibly Bargaining.

True…plus, scarily enough, I think the Hawks match up better against the Wings…than they do the Ducks. Scary to say.
Yeah
I don’t like the “Q” factor in that series. He doesn’t do well against the Wings at all.

Is it bad
… that reading these posts makes me happy?
Quick story – I was at the Avs game where Lappy nailed Lindstrom and everyone was cheering (clean hit by the way) and a group of red wing fans were in front of me. Of course after I was screaming for the hit, they all turned around and said that they “hoped Sakic gets taken out of the game”. Of course they are true hockey fans, cheering for one of the best and most classy players to EVER play the game to get taken out. Way to stay classy, San Diego…
At the same game my cousin, sitting in a different section, was standing and yelling for the hit and a red wing fan pulled him to sit down by his sweatshirt. Needless to say he didnt get to finish watching the game, because who wants a wing fan to touch them?
They act like they are all knowing and flawless…. I agree with Jibs – they really are the evolutionary descendants of flesh-eating bacteria. Lets see how much they show up when they eventually will be the team missing the playoffs (how I long for that day…).
GO AVS!!!
It’s also frustrating as hell to be an Avs fan in Detroit cuz the first thing everyone is trying to do is bust my balls ( I wear an avs hat everyday so people know where I stand). I had one guy at a party I went to grill me until I asked him to name 6 defensemen on the Wings and he mentioned Samuellson; he wan’t even a real fan but just knew to pick on me for being an Avs fan.
Wings fans are assholes, they can’t sell out the dump that they call an arena and “Hockeytown” (what a joke) will always be somewhere in Canada.
I was also at a Wings/Avs game one time with one of my buddys and the Avs scored first so I immediately rose to my feet to cheer and some douche in his 40s behind me yelled at me to sit "the f***) down and my buddy’s Dad yelled “Watch your language” to the guy, it was pretty funny..

I don’t want to be a jerk, but I really think you were kind of unfair to this guy. You know Red Wings don’t understand polysyllabic words but you still asked him about “de-fence-men”. That’s pretty unfair.

Damn
Deadthings score with 3:00 left….probably the game

The last call on Selanne was “questionable”, but the still didn’t do themselves any favors.

Bad news, good news
Bad news, the Evil Winged Wheel wins another series. Good news, it means my second favorite team is still in the playoffs.

That was an ugly 3rd period. I just don’t get it, Osgood has looked shaky all 3 series, but no one can get the puck past him. What the hell?
I don’t understand how every goalie looks like Raycroft against them.
Mason – Great regular season, plays like crap
Hiller – singlehandedly steals series from the Sharks, looks shakey
Khabibulin – beats Luongo head-to-head, looks good doing so. Lets in 2 softies.
Osgood – looks like crap, but has the talent around him to make up for it.

To be fair to Khabibulin, not on the first goal by Cleary, that just blew…but the second one was all on Keith, and especially Seabrook, who just plain had their heads up their butts.
And the refs didn’t cost the Blackhawks the game (I am a guy who says you need to overcome, not blame the refs), but my god the Wings got away with murder yesterday. Two sucker punches, and some clear hooking and stick infractions…but only 1 penalty.
Plus the ice at the Joe seemed to be sloppy. Hopefully the Hawks can pull their heads out of the butts and steal one Tuesday
And besides those two goals, Bulin played extremely well, and there is only so much you can do getting 40 plus shots thrown at you
Yeah
I was just coming over to say that the game was by no means his fault, and he played well for the most part. but there were two goals I thought were pretty soft

And the Pens
also win game one. We are one game closer to another Wings-Pens SCF.

RED WINGS WIN
I love hearing all this jabber about hating the red wings. You all obviously respect them in order to hate them, and I appreciate that. Why you people focus all this negative energy in blogs is beyond me. I hope you do get Patrick Roy as head coach just so the public can see once again what a bunghole he is. Karma is a motherfucker. I hope you all find it in your hearts to watch the amazing, quietly skilled system called the Red Wings tonight and every night as we make our way to the Stanley Cup AGAIN.
Didn't Draper
eat Maltby’s poop out of the Cup last offseason or something like that? Let’s hope the hockey gods don’t allow those douched wheels to win the Cup again.

This Just Seems to Belong Here
There were 4 guys mountain climbing in the Rockies… all four were avid hockey fans. As they reached the summit, the first guy runs and jumps off of the mountain and yells “this is for the Los Angeles Kings”
The second climber runs off the summit and yells “this is for the Calgary Flames”
The third climber, who happens to be from Denver and an Avs fan, runs and pushes the fourth climber off the summit and yells “this is for the good of hockey fans everywhere”. The fourth climber was a Red Wings fan.
