1. I would watch but my wife is hogging the TV

Torturing me with Daisey of Love. I got to watch the Mets vs Phillies earlier on the PC (though no streams tonight).

Such is life when you cede the TV to your spouse.

8. You're ridiculous

you claim to empathize with the city of Pittsburgh but the only Penguins you know about are in Antarctica.

Go watch some NASCAR...that's more your style.

10. Your "alter-ego" and you spend all day trashing Pittsburgh, yet you two LOSERS

have the nerve to root for them. Sounds like you two LOSERS are either Bandwagon jumpers or Fairweather fans!

12. It's real simple to understand

even for someone like you....I hate the Red Wings so much, I want them to lose no matter who they are playing.

Got that Mr hockey fan?

13. Actually, simplifying it for you, a REAL SPORTS FAN supports the teams

within their own conference when it comes to championship series. Petty grievances are ALWAYS left behind!

The Conference ALWAYS takes preference over petty grievances.

15. Yea, I'm sure the Yankees fans always root for the Red Sox and vice

versa.

And Giants fans always pull for the Dodgers in the playoffs. :eyes:

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

It can't be because they win too much, because that's all that matters to you. So, why the hate?

This series has been intense and clearly there's been a huge home ice advantage. Friday night breaks the cycle. Hossa will regret changing teams. ;)

20. I don't bet but if I did my money would be on the Penguins.

Joe Louis Arena better get ready for an ass whuppin. :D

Seriously though, I'm not nearly that confident but if Fleury plays like he did tonite, we win. And the Pens need to wear their black jerseys.

26. If the Red Wings don't pull it off in Game 7 the image of Cleary

missing the breakaway shot against Fleury will be forever etched in my mind. I'm a Flyers fan but I have a lot of respect for the Wings and I absolutely hate the Penguins. I'm a little worried about Game 7 but so far Detroit has played better in Pittsburgh than the Pens have in Detroit, so hopefully that will continue.

that went under Fleury instead of off his ass like last year.

Friday is going to be great.

I sure hope my wife's daughter decides to screw us over and not give us tickets to her HS graduation.

34. Cleveland isn't lunch bucket? We're the only "blue" part of this state. No, this just reminds

the people of Cleveland that our "ugly sisters" (Pittsburgh and Detroit) get invited to the prom and we never do.

For a matter of future clarification: I gave up the Browns years ago, I don't care if they fall into Lake Erie, I don't follow the Cavs, but I don't hate them, I just don't give a damn about the whole of the NBA, and I currently don't like the management and most of the players on the Indians.

Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati

Let the AFC East have Baltimore and the AFC North will take Buffalo.

in many ways their territories do overlap.

44. Bah

I always felt the Baltimore rivalry was forced on us from the Cleveland move. Like "oh here! Be rivals with us!".

Fuck you Art Model. You tried to destroy the Steelers Browns rivalry and replace it with Baltimore you greedy son of a bitch? No thanks.

Sure I get into the games, but I'd be just as happy not playing them and playing Buffalo who always felt like they should be more of a regional rival but always for some reason got lopped into the New England region even though they are more of a rust belt team.

43. Meh Rivalries change

Pitt Baltimore has been intense as of late, but it doesn't have a ton of history behind it if you dissasociate them from Cleveland. Even after they became Baltimore it took a bit to have it build up. I'm sure that could easily be replaced back to Cleveland and Cinncinati....and add in Buffalo.

And yeah their terriroties overlap but so does Pittsburgh and Buffalo. Ask anyone up in Erie whether they think Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo make natural regional rivals. Baltimore is the other side of the mountains. It belongs with New York and Boston, not with the real cities out here on the Frontier... ;)

46. Geographically, Buffalo and Pittsburgh could be considered rivals.

Edited on Thu Jun-11-09 03:14 PM by madinmaryland

But they really have not had a consistent rivalry over the last 40 years. I suppose it could become that way, but they have never been in the same division together, and Buffalo also has the rivalries with the AFC-East, ironically alot with Miami. And why is Miami in the east.....

Well we could go on and on with this one.

48. Yeah neither have Baltimore and Pittsburgh

Rivalries build easily when you play each other twice a year. Give it 10 years and people would barely remember the Baltimore Pittsburgh games and woudl get fired up over a Buffalo Pittsburgh one...

But yeah it's not gonna happen.

They have no business being in that division, geographically speaking.

50. That doesn't make much sense either. But the networks love it.

But the tremendous weather differences between Miami, waaaaay down there, and the rest of their division, waaaaay up there, isn't really fair to the Fins. And all those LOOONG flights.

hell, the whole AFC, would be better off if they scratched the Browns from existence and either played the Buckeyes or the reanimated corpse of the Canton Bulldogs.

58. Perhaps my word "hate" was too strong. I had a soft spot in my heart for Detroit since Pittsburgh

already had its champion Steelers this year. Also, since Sparty didn't do it for Detroit in the Final Four, I thought Detroit could use a pick-me-up given the Lions and GM/Chrysler.
