As a Wings fan should I feel guilty that I'm glad the Pens finally showed up?

I'm right there with yo. After it was 2-0, I then began hoping it didn't become a blowout---which coulod have really hurt them. But, being as it was 3-2 in the end, I am sure the Wings are still confident about this series. I am a true Wings fan and I do not feel guilty for not wanting a sweep---that makes me a hockey fan!

No you shouldn't feel guilty, unless you are glad the Penguins won lol, because you should want a good series. I wouldn't say the Red Wings dominated Game 1 either, yeah later in the game they started to, but it was even through most. The Red Wings played great defense and kept the Penguins from getting shots so people think the Penguins weren't doing much. If you watch the game though it was pretty even, I say through most some only give the Penguins about half the game. Now as a Penguins fan I can't answer for Red Wings fans, but I'd want the series to be hard fought as was predicted. Makes you feel more like it was earned.

No, I enjoyed the game a lot, and got some serious spousal ribbing for wanting the Pens to give their fans some money's worth.

What I had been looking forward to when the series began was epic games, and the first two were much too one sided in the play, whatever the scorelines showed. Now we can look forward to games where the Pens and the Wings do their job, that is, entertaining us!

Did you see the lovely press conference Babcock gave? The total antithesis of M. Therrien's when his team lost.

Go Wings

nope. I've been watching the Wings for 20+ years, and I was very happy to see the Pens finally start playing some cup finals quality hockey. I watched most of the finals all along, (I like to know what we're up against when we hit the finals), and was sadly disappointed in the lack of competition in the first two games, this is more like what you expect from the playoffs. GO WINGS!!

God no. I like the wings, they were my first hockey love affair, and I thank them every day for getting me into hockey. But I wanted to see a good series and even got emotional at the heart the pens showed in battling back the behemoth that is the mighty wings in game 3.

no, don't feel guilty, nothing wrong with not wanting the Wings to just stroll to the Cup. I don't really care who wins, all I wanted was 7 great games of hockey.... especially as here in the UK games don't start till 1am and also because the final series are the only games shown live nowadays!

thank you, rejoice with the gesture. To be straightforward, it hasnt somewhat sunk in for me and in all probability wont until the parade on Monday. became right into a suited ending by employing my standards...Fleury shutting up the critics with a great interest and the Pens triumphing by employing outhustling and stifling the Wings offense. A rematch would easily be exciting yet now the bullseye on the Pens next year, it easily could not be an common feat.

No. We finally had a good game in the finals. I always want series to go 7 games so I can watch more hockey, just as long as my team wins in the end. I was expecting this series to be like last nights game the entire time and was thouroughly disappointed in the forst 2 games.

absolutely not i think thats completely understandable! Im a huge ranger fan and i was pretty upset with the penguins when they knocked them out of the series. However for some reason i find myself rooting for them even though in the end i want the redwings to win the cup.

No way should you feel guilty. You are absolutely right, game 3 was a great game to watch. It's way more fun when both teams show up.
