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.
You just hit Malkin for smiling like a kid when his team wins and pouting like a kid when they lose. Yet here you are saying it’s OK, make up your mind.
You’re being blasted for saying silly things that don’t make a lot of sense. You say Malkin doesn’t belong in the NHL but why? He’s got great stats, he doesn’t get a lot of penalty minutes (averages about a minute a game) so he clearly isn’t a thug, he got in one scuffle at the end of game 2 in the finals but that was really nothing.
Yes finally for the first time since the Cup got handed out last year the Wings showed some emotion. That seems to be the hallmark of the Babcock era, only show emotions if the Cup is in the house, the rest of the time it’s all business. And I don’t fault the results, but they sure are boring to watch.
