Finals "Conspiracy Theory"

Ok, here we go again: Wings vs. Pens in the finals. I hate to give into conspiracy theories but this is just too big to not discuss.

 

So here we go, all year the NHL has shown the Crosby love, the commercials for the NHL was Crosby scoring on the Wings in the finals, no video of any Red Wings lifting the Cup as the victors. Throughout the Wings playoffs, we've had intermissions dedicated to interviews with Crosby or updates on the Penguins playoffs during the Red Wings games, instead of giving the teams a little rest to recharge for the biggest & best series in sports, the Stanley Cup Finals. Instead the NHL moves up the date & makes the teams play 3 games in 4 nights, knowing full well that the Red Wings are currently riddled with injuries to their top players.

Now the final piece of the puzzle, if you look at most hockey websites, you'll find the comparisons to the last rematch of teams in the finals, Islanders /Oilers, tons of interviews filled with Gretzky & Messier comparing this Penguins team to the Oilers & how it seems like the torch is going to be passed from the Wings to the Pens. Call me crazy but if this isn't enough for you, tell me why we've seen some of the worst officiating this postseason, it's simple the league didn't want the Red Wings in the way of the Penguins. Seem a bit too elaborate of a scheme? Maybe, but lets just wait & see how this one is officiated. But it probably won't matter cause Detroit is so banged up that the Penguins will have a much better chance of taking it to the Wings, they may not even need the assistance of the Refs in this one.

 

Overall I'm disgusted with the way this has unfolded, the best team in the league deserves a better opportunity, Detroit deserves one as well. A city that has been in a recession 2 years longer than the rest of this country, a city that has endured the likes of Kwame & a dirty city counsel, deserve better than this. Detroit needs this Cup on a therapeutic level, a distraction from the world we live in, the once strong motor city has been sold out & in the process left Detroiters, Michiganders with nothing except a sports team that has continued to entertain, continued to win & a team that deserves a fair shot at winning a Stanley Cup. It's obvious that the Wings won't get that fair shot at it, so hopefully they win it out of spite...

 

Go Wings!
