Comments on: News-y tidbits! http://www.2manadvantage.com/2008/05/20/news-y-tidbits/ We're just a bunch of knuckleheads dishing the dirt about our favorite team.

Seriously, though, as you can probably tell, things ain't been right around here for awhile. I'm not sure when that changes. I offer no excuses other than the fact that everyone's fallen from the earth, and I'm not well versed in the art of silly pictures to enhance silly haiku(s?). I do have to request that you not pox Mr Carlson, though. We need him. Or, y'know, any sort of defense.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('18608','Josh Burnett'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('18608','Josh Burnett','As a peace offering to the folks at Rangerland.net, I offer...\r\n\r\nmy sincerest apologies?\r\n\r\nSeriously, though, as you can probably tell, things ain\'t been right around here for awhile.

I just DON'T CARE about this match-up... and why I keep asking... and all I can think of is: 1. These teams had it too easy getting here (12-2 Pens, 12-4 Wings)... where's the sacrifice, heart, guts and soul that is REQUIRED to win the richest prize in pro sports? 2. I can't get into these teams... Detroit is so blah to me... and I can't stomach another off-season of "Look we let Niedermommy go and he won a Cup and now Rafalski too"... and I hate Osgood (I can tolerate Hasek cause he sucks now) 3. (this is a major one)... Gary Bettman wants this match-up... and anytime Bettman wants something (a lockout, the trapezoid, etc) it's been bad for the league 4. Someone needs to knock Petr Suckora's ass out and soon (the only team he's been on that won in the Finals he was not conscious when it happened :p)... ok that's just personal ire cause he quit on us back in 2002...but the only guys I like on both teams would be Malkin and Franzen and I'm not gushing about either winning a Cup If I get any more reasons I'll try to add them.....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('18498','Scott Mackie'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('18498','Scott Mackie','The Draft Party is always a blast... more so if they do the stick sale again... and will be good to see how they handle this in the shiney new arena still!!

1. These teams had it too easy getting here (12-2 Pens, 12-4 Wings)… where’s the sacrifice, heart, guts and soul that is REQUIRED to win the richest prize in pro sports?

2. I can’t get into these teams… Detroit is so blah to me… and I can’t stomach another off-season of “Look we let Niedermommy go and he won a Cup and now Rafalski too”… and I hate Osgood (I can tolerate Hasek cause he sucks now)

If I get any more reasons I’ll try to add them…..
