What’s wrong with being happy when your team wins and mad when they lose? Especially in the playoffs?! See that’s the problem with the Wings lately, and why I’ve kind of gotten sick of them, they’ve turned into a hockey playing machine and lost the emotion of the game. I like seeing players emotionally tied to the game, especially in the playoffs when most players are playing for history not money. That’s part of what makes sports fun, the emotions of the players tie them on some level to the fans, emotionless players are boring to watch.
Nothing. Most of my posts to this thread are about cheering when your team wins and supporting them when they lose.
I'm being blasted by a horde of giddy Pens fans who cannot take one lick of criticism about their team or anyone on it (although I never said one word denigrating the Penguins as a team!).
But we need to be angry at our team for losing, not for the other team beating "our" team, although we still need to support them - sometimes you win, sometimes you lose (I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here!).
There's a difference in a player being emotional about a game and taking it out on the opposing team - it's called maturity, something that seemes to be missing from alot of posts on this thread.
The Wings looked pretty emotional and dejected on the bench after the final buzzer, wouldn't you say. I had a hard time watching the after the final buzzer, myself, but when they started handing out the trophies to the winners, I could sit back and watch the Pens enjoy their win.
