I don't like Pronger... not one bit. But, I'm sure I'd change my tune somewhat if he played for the Wings. Maybe. I really don't like the guy.

But, yes, I think most of us can agree that we don't like Tootoo. :)

Or Chimmer. As the one of the Dispatch writers penned awhile back, "Jason Chimera puts more shots off the glass than Tim Duncan." :lol:

Or maybe it's because he has a taste for human flesh.

i don't even know about that. avery isn't dirty.

Uh, take a look back at his penalties for the season, you'll see alot of high sticking, slashing, cross check and misconducts for that turd. You've not seen enough of Malkin to call him dirty so just give it a rest. The Rangers suck and he had one game where he got the misconduct. He had 2 major penalties all year, so quit crying that he's a dirty player. Boo fuckin' hoo.

Ruutu does a great job for the Pens. Like Ulf Samuelsson, his reputation gets him alot of penalties. He's there to check people and, if they get pissed off, then oh well, but he does exactly what the team asks him to do and his teammates love him, something I'm not so sure you can say about Avery.

Sean Avery and Ruutu have almost the same roles. They are their to piss off the opposing team and get them off their game. They are both pretty darn good at it too. One of the only differences is Avery scores more goals that Ruutu. They are both players that unless they are on your team, you do not like them. Also, both players play right on the edge of the rules, so some people consider them dirty players.

Malkin i would not consider a dirty player, I've seen him do some questionable things in the playoffs, but nothing that I have not seen opposing teams do to him and Crosby and not get called.

Back to the playoffs, Detroit looks very good right now and has the West pretty much won. As for the East, Pens haven't played their best yet in the finals and are still up 2-0. If things continue at their current pace, Philly maybe calling people out of the stands to play on Defense.

I would enjoy a Wings vs Pens final! LET'S GO PENS!

oh, so because you say I hate some guy that I'd never heard of until a couple weeks ago....that means I hate him. i didn't realize. can you let me know who else I hate so I don't accidentally send them a christmas card?

I didn't just pull that out of my ass, I explained why I said you didn't like Ruutu. It's pretty obvious that you don't, and I don't care how long you've known about him. If you liked him, then you wouldn't have brought him up. Simple as that.

I'm done arguing, this is fucking stupid.

So you're telling me that I don't like a guy, when I'm saying that I couldn't give two shits about him......and you're right? Well fuck...how much would it cost me to have you come over here and interpret all my thoughts for me. I must be doing a pretty shitty job of it.

I brought him up because he's the Penguins version of Avery, based on what I saw of that series. Pretty simple. Or so I thought. Thanks for setting me straight though.





I don't know why you're having such a hard time figuring out what it took h0bb3s about 4 seconds to. Maybe you need to go over to his house and tell him what he really means by what he says so you can straighten him out, too.

I didn't say I was right, I was telling you why I said what I said. What Hobbes said is exactly what I've been saying this whole fucking time, except that I assumed you didn't like Ruutu. And whether you like Ruutu or not is irrelevant. This argument started because you think Malkin is dirty and Avery isn't, for unknown reasons to me, now we're discussing whether or not you like Ruutu and you're trying to pin an assumption I made against me(an assumption that I didn't think was unreasonable). Why are we even talking about whether you like Ruutu or not? It doesn't matter at all. If you don't like Ruutu, I'm sorry I assumed you did. Now let's bicker about what we were originally bickering about again.

Nobody is ever going to win.. that's why I didn't want to do this in the first place. But I did. :(

I'm nervous. But, I'm nervous for the wrong reasons. I'm nervous because, with these refs, I feel that whatever the Pens do, a penalty will get called against them.

"Hey, a Pen lifted his stick a bit. PENALTY!"
"Hey, that Penguin checked him. PENALTY!"
"Hey, that Penguin got checked. PENALTY!"
"Hey, a Flyer scored. PENALTY ON PITTSBURGH!"
"Hey, Marc-Andre Fleury just played the puck. PENALTY!"
"Hey, the Penguins are up 2-0. PENALTY!"

It's stupid.
