    I'll ask again why Crosby/Malkin are more marketable than anyone else? Because Bettman chose them? Zetterberg and Datsyuk are every bit as good/better than them. Show me where I'm wrong, where Crosby and Malkin are better than every player out there - stats please. I said it above - Crosby plus 3 over 77 games, Zetterberg plus 13 over 77 games. Datsyuk is up for 3 major awards. Malkin scoring leader. And don't even try to say Malkin or Crosby is better with the puck than Datsyuk, you'd only be lying to yourself :) So let the 14 year old girls decide right? Oh and not to mention a 6 time Norris Trophy winner.

    Totally agree on diving, I've said it for years. Let it be reviewed and a penalty in and of itself. There can be no "slash" if the guy dove. Let a team score a power play goal or two because a player dove and it would stop immediately.

    You asked before?

    The answer is simple. Datsyuk and Zetterberg play in a system that requires all players to be unbearably disciplined (both in playing the Wings system and in turning the other cheek when it comes to physical confrontations) first, defensively responsible second and offensive creativity (which is sometimes turned around for scoring chances the other way when it doesn't pan out) is frowned upon. Datsyuk is exciting at times (both with and without the puck) but in terms of creative license and playing in a more exciting system to watch (which is what is marketable at the end of the day) the Pens stars have got the Wings slaughtered. It isn't a coincidence that every Pens games (and series) these playoffs were unbelievably exciting until they ran into the Wings. The Cup Final games that I watched were awful games to watch for someone who isn't a fan of either team.

    If the Wings open up and take some risks, they may lose more hockey games but I guarantee that they will be much more appealing in terms of marketability and watchability.

    Wow. Decent game 6 last night. Lots of action, good scoring chances, great goaltending. I know that I'm not the only one who thought that Fleury would choke at the end. Jordan Staal was a machine last night. Datsyuk had a good game as well. Didn't even notice Crosby.

    This is the first Wings game that I have watched these playoffs (or in a couple of years for that matter) where I wasn't angry that I watched it when it was over.

    Fleury had a decent game, but Rob Scuderi made the 3 biggest saves for the Pens. I'm not a Wings fan and I don't buy into Crosby/Bettman marketing conspiracy theories, but I thought the officiating was all over the place. Call it tight or call loose, just be consistent and call obvious stuff...the no call on Cleary's breakaway was unexcusable.

    Both teams played inspired hockey last night, and the Penguins came out and played like they needed to to win. Fleury had a big game and made some huge stops. The Wings will need a huge effort on Friday if they want to keep the Cup.

    Why do I have this weird feeling that the Pens can pull off a win. Oh what's this controversy with NBC not showing the game in opposing home arenas? Hockey need to see these whereever they can just to gain a hand on getting NEW fans.

    GO LET'S WINGS

    I watched the CBC telecast but my co-worker watched NBC and said that they gave Crosby the second star! WTF I wasn't aware of him playing he was so nonexistent. CBC had Osgood 3stars, Scuderi 2stars and Fleury which I agreed with. Not that the stars mean much but if you can tell me with a straight face that Crosby was worthy of any mention then you need rehab :)

    Detroit will need to play more than one period on Friday if they want to keep the Cup. I think they will - now do I get tix for game 7?????

    GO WINGS!

    Watched on NBC. I don't recall the three stars but I think your co-worker is mistaken. Outside of his interview, the only mention Crosby after the game that I recall was that his ice time had been cut back.

    Peace

    I didn't hear the whole story- just a bit yesterday on sports talk radio.
    Over the past several Cup Finals in Detroit when the Wings were on the road- they have had "Joe Vision"- basically they play the feed on the jumbotron and charge like $5 for people to come watch the game at the Joe Louis Arena. It give the hockey fans who can't afford to pay $200+ per ticket a chance to get inside the arena and participate in the playoffs.
    This year though- NBC said no. The reasoning behind it, at least what they were saying yesterday on the radio, was because NBC said it would hurt the Nielson ratings for the game...
    That doesn't really make sense to me though, because there must be tons of people watching the games at bars and such...
    Who knows? Seems kind of shady.

    Ooooo baby! This is gonna be GOOD. Can't wait to see the disappearing Hossa cry unconsolably as the Pens hoist the cup on his home ice. Maybe Bylsma will let him join the Pens as Sid's hair-gell'er or something next year so he can get in on the inevitable Pittsburgh dynasty.

    GO PENS!

    Yeah... since the Pens have shown that they play great in Detroit :roll:
    At this point, you should just be hoping that your goalie is able to dodge the inevitable hook he wasn't able to avoid in Game 5.
