Chris Osgood's Dives Are Acceptable Since He's Winning
Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies - Pittsburgh Sports Videos, Humor and Crack Analysis. And Ridiculously Small Horses — Is Ross McKeon serious ? Resort to whining? So is McKeon whining about the Penguins, then? Why else would his title have such harsh criticism? I take offense to the countless "opinions" on Game 2 that just want the Pens to shut up and focus on the game. So what if Chris Osgood is showing that he has no respect for the game, so long as he posts wins? As a Penguins fan, there's nothing that gets to me more than some dumb fan, writer, analyst calling Sidney Crosby a diver, which makes its way around the hockey community, infecting all who hears it. It seems like Penguins fans can't bring up Crosby's name without belligerent "DIVER!" calls drowning out ...

Thoughts on Game #2: Wings 3, Pens 0
Behind the Jersey — What a game! The Wings are up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals and it feels amazing to be able to say that. Now the Wings still have two more wins to earn and they are heading to Pittsburgh where the fans at Mellon Arena hope to make it difficult for Detroit. If Detroit can get one of the two games there, I would consider the road trip quite a success. But Game #3 isn’t until tomorrow so let’s take a look back at what happened last night at Joe Louis Arena in the 3-0 Detroit victory. Impressive. I’m not sure how else to describe Valtteri Filppula’s amazing goal in the third period. Take a look in the clip below. ...

Chris Osgood is insecure - 1-27-09
Empty Netters — We actually linked to this article this morning but totally overlooked this little tidbit from Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood (above). The Pensblog and Abel to Yzerman were a little bit more heads up and caught it. While complaining about the All-Star Lame Game suspensions to teammates Pavel Datsyuk and Nicklas Lidstrom, Osgood kind of went off on the Penguins being the media darlings of the NHL: "In the salary-cap era, the league is built for different teams to win every year, so it wouldn't be good if we won again, would it? You see a lot of commercials with us in it? Most of ...

What Game One Means for the Red WingsFanHouse
It was an interesting start to the Stanley Cup Finals, there's no doubt about that.
