PUCK DADDY, who is still number-one in the business, dug up all of the responses from Red Wang Nation in regards to a recent Buccigross column that says Zetterberg and Datsyuk, gasp, are past their primes.
Go here to check out the actually Bucci column.

Here is George Malik's whinefest.

Red Wings fans, aside from a couple of level-headed people, can't believe that an analyst thinks the Wings "dynasty" is done. Bucci gave truckloads of corroborating proof that the NHL is a young man's game; that players will put up their seasonal career highs before they reach at least 30 years of age. The two most dynamic players on the Wings roster, Zett and Dats, are 29 and 31, respectively.

Couple that with Nick Lidstrom reaching the end of his road, the ever-shaky situation in the Detroit net, a serious injury and subsequent surgery to the ever-fragile Johan Franzen, and the revitalized Central Division, the case is there that the Red Wings aren't the "powerhouse" anymore that their fans have gotten so used to. But most Wings fans and Malik-esque fanboys refuse to acknowledge this.

Let's face it: going into the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals, the Red Wings were an intimidating force. The Pens hadn't seen anything like it during the season, and it was the Red Wings' year, anyway. In the 2009 Finals, the Pens were ready, and the rest is history. The Pens were one year older yet still so much younger than the Red Wings. The microcosm of the entire series came on Jordan Staal's shortie, when Brian Rafalski pretty much gave up on life.

Last year's Cup win was the changing of the guard, the passing of the torch, although the Red Wings fans themselves couldn't find a way to pass their AIDS to Pens fans. It wasn't so much a passing of the torch to the Penguns as it was a passing of the torch to a younger NHL.

If you think the Red Wings' fans' denial is sad, wait till you see the game-winning goal Chris Osgood gave up in Phoenix...

Still PENS

It's been over a day since the Gonchar injury was announced and everything appears to be still standing.

Max Talbot filmed a new commercial for A&L Motors.

KISS has more pics.

Jobber(s) Of The Week : AP Reporters

Posted by #test on Oct 22, 2009 02:07.

Meet Balloon Boy's neighbor:

He is pissed off because the media is jobbing his peace. Totally legit.

Then media members start provoking him.

The guy is just having a bad moment. But then it gets worse:

And that's where we have our jobber(s) of the week.

The AP reporters. Three of them.

The guy in the yellow.

What exactly warranted bringing out some unreal finishing move?

And what about the guy on the phone? He clearly elbowed the dude's car.

Or this guy that starts jobbing the neighbor when he is locked up?

Classic third man in.

What makes the guy in the yellow seem like the biggest jobber

is that he had this great takedown, but then couldn't hold it.

And how is it that everyone starts flipping out

when the dude gets punched in the face?

What a performance by the neighbor.

Go Pens.

Sergei Gonchar Out Four to Six Weeks With Broken Wrist

Posted by Rick on Oct 21, 2009 12:45.

Sergei Gonchar is going to miss four to six weeks of action with a broken wrist.

He was injured yesterday on a hit from St. Louis' David Backes.

A six week absence would mean that he would return in the beginning of December.

In his place, Martin Skoula will be making his Penguins debut on Friday night against Florida.

Start Spreadin' The Blues. PENS WIN.

On a night where the Penguins were aware of fighting cancer,

the only disease in the building was the St. Louis Blues.

Very rarely do you see a team so completely unprepared to play a hockey game.

Other than the Pens-Coyotes game this season.

The Pens stared imposing their will about five minutes into the game,

and St. Louis did nothing but bend over and take it.

If John Davidson is still alive, he'll surely be upset.

This victory pushes the Pens to 8-1.

Fleury made 4 saves to push his own record to 8-0.

Here's where we copy and paste our mantra

about the journey we all take during of an NHL season.

There's highs and lows, blah blah blah.

There will be bad games, blah blah blah.

There will be tribulations to overcome, blah blah -- Oop.

Sergei Gonchar left the game in the second period and did not return.

Per the Trib and PG, Gonch has a hand or wrist injury; a broken bone somewhere possibly.

Using e-mail correspondence from people at the game and our own DVR,

we prematurely stated on Twitter during the game that it was a wrist injury.

It kind of blew up everywhere and reached Grover on The X post-game.

What a mistake. We're ne'er to do it again.

It's not anyone's fault; just a perfect storm.

The Pens are expected to announce something on Wednesday.

Recap after the jump.

Gonch Hurt, Status Unknown, Don't Listen To Us

Posted by #test on Oct 20, 2009 22:54.

Obviously the news from the Penguin game is all about Gonch, and his injury.

We wanted to clear something up.

We were at the game, and watched Gonch go to the locker room. Several people emailed us that it was a broken wrist.

They said they heard the doctors who rushed by them mention it.

It is all hearsay.

We're not Eklund. We have no inside info.

The Pens will announce tomorrow what the deal is.

For all we know, Gonch didn't want to play anymore because the Blues suck so bad.

Recap in the am.

Peace.
