Biggest Whiner?
From a February ESPN poll of players from all 30 teams:
QUESTION 4: WHICH PLAYER COMPLAINS THE MOST ON THE ICE?
Crosby • TOP VOTE-GETTER: Sidney Crosby (52%).
• More on Crosby | Statistics | Penguins page
• A simple Google search will tell you what some fans think of Sidney Crosby on the ice ("cry baby" is the most often-used G-rated word); but at various times in his short career, Crosby has been accused of complaining too much to officials about calls or non-calls and embellishing fouls to draw penalties. It was a subject that was heightened during last season's playoffs. Crosby has repeatedly denied being that kind of a player.
• OTHER MENTIONS: Chris Pronger (8%); Sean Avery (7%); Steve Ott (5%); Ryan Getzlaf (4%); Shane Doan (3%); Marc Savard, Darcy Tucker (2%); Todd Bertuzzi, Mike Richards, Kris Draper (1%); 8 players with one vote.

Skipping Class
Couldn't stay away for this one. It's just not the same when you don't watch it live.
Lots of people talking dynasty tag for the Wings with the win tonight. Only three people have played in these finals who will have been there for every single Cup. Homer is one of them.
Osgood has only won two and been around for three, but I really am pulling for him tonight.
Let's Go Wings! Please don't make us try to survive watching a game 7.

Welcome Back Pavel
Early in the second, Pavel already has an assist. It's huge to finally have him back. This is a different team.
Time for a powerplay.... and Kronwall scores. 3-0. Take that bitches!

Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It
There are really two parts to any playoff series. There's the Wings love, and there's opponent revulsion.
Mostly it's Wings love and I'm cool with that, but I would like to introduce a bit more of the opponent revulsion thing. There's not much time left so we have to do this fast.

Here's how this game works:
1. Go to their site
2. Register (top right corner)
3. Start commenting
DO NOT identify yourself as a Red Wings fan. You need to be a Pens fan and come up with the most outrageous posts you can without getting yourself banned. Even your new screen name should be part of the game.
Copy and paste your best comments and put them in the replies to this post.
Have fun and good luck.

I Can't Help It
I like what I like. Doesn't have to be artistic, doesn't have to be good.
I try to keep that in mind when I'm encountering ideas different from my own.
