we played like crap i thought.....
i'm so sick of seeing us NOT get in their face on defense and clear the puck along the boards everytime we get it like we are penalty killing. People wonder why we cannot get shots off on Detroit, its cause they get in our face and we dont do the same when they have the puck.
either way, good season. glad the pens made it that far.

I look at it as the Penguins as a very young team, and the Redwings with players that have more years under their belts. They have the experience. I'm proud that the Penguins made it to the cup.

Exactly, that was painfully to watch the Pens finger **** one another up and down the ice. They looked like a farm club compared to Detroit. They were def. out-talented the whole series. Did they not watch ANY game footage as the series went by? Hey its 2 on 2, lets dump it again, looked like the Pens of the 80s.Originally Posted by White5.0
Hopefully they learn from this experience and are better prepared next year. Go Pens.

ya i figured that maybe after game 2 the coaches and players alike would've made some adjustments, but they seemed to play the same all series.
We defiantly got beat by a better team i thought.

Yeah in your face Detroit, YOU have to pick last in the next draft! Ha! Who wants that burden.
Congrats to the Redwings for they were the better team by far.
Can only say thanks to the Pens for one helluva ride this season. Be interesting to see what they do offseason to better themselves.
Now for the other pro team in Pittsburgh...LETS GO STEELERS

congrats Det. what a powerhouse of a team! I really think pitts became a world class hockey club after this series! I cant wait for next year. Hockey Ftw!
It's also united this city and made people that dont like hockey, like my dad, start to get into it. "Go Pens" is spray painted on the pavement on Boston Hollow Road near the Boston Bridge.
Safe to say that no team's fans are like Pittsburgh's.

The Pens gave us an awesome year. For such a young team, they did great against Detroit (hell, they lost the final game by 1 point).
Looking forward to next year! Wish I didn't have to wait so long.

The Igloo looked like it was rocking from the start! Great job by the Pens to fight till the last second. Sometimes the better team wins, and I think Detroit was the better team from the start of the series to the end. The Pens had plenty of chances even in game one and two, but it wasnt to be. Detroit did what they do best in pressure you to death, and use their puck poession as great defense. The thing that ended up hurting the Pens was their inability to clear the puck out of their zone in critcal situations.
Great job by Hossa, Crosby and Gonchar to literally carry this team in the finals points wise. I thought Fleury had an ok series, with alot of the soft goals being made up for in that three OT game where he basically stood on his head. Only real disappointment was Malkin and Sykora, but you never know what injuries guys have or whats going on till the season is over.
Lets Go Pens!
Malkin finally had a good game in Game 6.... Its a shame that Fluery played so well in Game 5 and then completely fell apart in Game 6... 3 weak goals, with the first one being the only one that i even have some understanding as to why it went in....
I think the difference was the defenseman for the RedWings... I think the pens just as good, if not a better team, in every aspect except for the defense.... Our defenseman are always going backwards, ALWAYS!!!! It absolutely drives me nuts! Their defenseman are always jumping up in the play and always keeping pucks in the zone. That along with the fact that they are able to move the puck out of their own zone with crisp passing. Those two LITTLE things were the difference in the series...

2 of those 3 goals should have never crossed the line
2008....sitting next to penguins!
actually, the pens are sitting a bit higher than the flyers. Remember, the pens actually made it to the final, not philly. Pens are 2nd in the Eastern Conference, Philly is 6th. So, once again, they are not sitting next to the penssitting next to penguins!
