I’m starting to get really tired of all the bulls⁢I have to wade through on every blog nowadays.  We are no exception.  Ignoring the @ssholes is getting harder to do.  I called out a Pens fan who tried to defend the Vladdy pic and comment only to have someone here wish Mario’s cancer to return.  And he wasn’t being sarcastic or funny.  I defend everyone’s right to freedom of speech but you have to have accountability for that freedom.  You can yell “Fire” in a crowded theater but don’t be surprised if you go to jail.  Some things are just not right.

I fail to see how Wyshynski is to blame for the comment threads over there. This is the Internet, people, and Yahoo! Sports is one of the biggest stages in the place. The vast majority of denizens of the ‘Net are idiots—reasonable comments are by far the exception. Is it really so surprising that the comments on Y! Sports approach YouTube stupidity? Don’t let that detract from the actual content at Puck Daddy, which is generally very good.

Anyone who’s read Greg’s work over the years and knows anything about his fan background knows that he’s no Wings fan. So what? Outside opinions can be refreshing. And he knows the game. I respect the guy, even if I don’t always (read: rarely) agree with him.

I think TLP’s comments were idiotic and purposely inflammatory, but he’s not Wyshynski. That stuff isn’t up to the usual PD standard, which is generally “reasonable serious fan” and not “hardcore homer.”

Wysh’s Malkin for Conn Smythe is rather…well…a stretch at best. Malkin isn’t the reason this series has been stretched to Game 6, Wysh.

Posted by mrfluffy from Long Beach on 06/08/09 at 11:41 AM ET

Stone - I don’t blame PD for the comments (I never read them). I do blame him for stacking his contributing staff with all Pens fans (or so it seems). The Emperor, while being admittedly biased for the Wings, has stacked his blog with contributors from all over the NHL fan base.

Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/08/09 at 11:41 AM ET

My contention is that over time, the quality of the writing and the selection of that about which they write has been skewed by the commenters there.  Any writer is going to eventually dumb himself down when subjected to that.

Per Monty Python, and now for something completely different (but pleasing), The Highlander:

No Dan Cleary on the ice as the Red Wings just started their drills. They’re working, however, as though Cleary will play in Game 6, using Ville Leino as a placeholder. Cleary missed practice time leading into Game 5, including the morning skate, but played in the game. All the other lines are the same with Pavel Datsyuk on Henrik Zetterberg’s wing.

They are all tools over there. Wizdoucheski hates the Wings. But don’t take my word for it, evidence is better than opinion.

Here is WizDoucheSki’s latest Conn Smythe watch after game 5:

1. Evgeni Malkin, Penguins; 2. Sidney Crosby, Penguins; 3. Henrik Zetterberg, Red Wings; 4. Johan Franzen(notes), Red Wings; 5. Nicklas Lidstrom(notes), Red Wings; 6. Marc-Andre Fleury, Penguins; 7. Chris Osgood, Red Wings;

PottedPlant is more deserving of the Conn Smythe than Ozzie? Sh!t, even the pimply-faced, dungeons-and-dragons-loving, basement-dwelling denizens of Pen(i)s blog admit Ozzie has outplayed MAF. They may not admit that Ozzie is a Conn Smythe contender, but they know MAF has been outplayed.

Blog authors are accountable for what they write, not the comments of the weak & feeble.
(Kinda like needing to judge the Wings for the team they are, not their fans.)

The Puck Daddy writers really know how to get people riled ... and continue to talk about and read what they write. Which makes them very, very good at what they do.

as long as they don’t claim their goal is to be quality journalists, then you are correct.

Yup, and WizDoucheSki, by his Conn Smythe Watch, says that Ozzie is not deserving of the Conn Smythe AND is being out played by MAF.

Some highlights:

Watching Detroit crush the Penguins on Saturday night was as fulfilling as anything I have ever witnessed in sports. Even better than when the Red Wings got Roy pulled in that epic Western Conference final Game 7.

The sad part of this story is that Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, a Grand Haven native, never played the game the way his team has played in the finals.

All of the 19 should back off on Wysh.
Have a little compassion for a fan of a team that hasn’t quite made it for a while.
At least he is a fan of another classy well-run franchise.

Picking on fans and bloggers is the soup de jour, especially if the players and coaches
that are left won’t give you the time of day.  If they do, they’re lying like hell this time of

And for the record, I don’t hate the Red Wings, I hate their fans.

The day I start caring about what complete strangers online who are not the A2Y 19 (whom I consider my ‘friends’ anyway, even though I’ve only met the Chief in real life) is the day I give up the Red Wings, beer, and the dizzying heights and crushing lows, and just lay down and die.  As Millwall FC fans say, “No one likes us and we don’t care.”

Pizza Hut dreams of one day becoming as delicious as Little Caesars.

Now Alan, as a born and raised Ann Arborite, I’ll have to take you to task on that.  As good as Little Sleazer’s is (and goddamn there really is nothing like a greasy slice of ‘shrooms, sausage, and extra cheese after half a fifth of whiskey), Cottage Inn still beats it for sheer quality every time.  And I give an honorable mention to Anthony’s stuffed pizza on Packard, but they’re a Chicago import (stuffed pizza being a Chi-town thing) so they don’t count in the battle of Michigan pizza.

But I wish they’d just drop this faux-objectivity that pervades most of their stuff. It’s embarrasssing to watch sometimes.

I have to say, I respect Melt Your Face Off for that reason.  They’re all a bunch of Wings-haters, but they’re funny as hell and they make no bones about objectivity.  American Hockey Fan is like that too, minus the Wings-hate because he’s a B’s fan.  Come to think of it, the best hockey blogs are the ones that combine humor with partisanship, and hence real gritty fans can relate to them.  Leave the ‘objectivity’ to the ‘journalists,’ and get down here in the mud with the rest of us fans.

That being said, I pride myself on A2Y and Snapshots being my only daily must-reads.  If I want important news, I’ll get it from a variety of (purportedly) impartial sources, but I’m a Red Wings fan first and an NHL fan a distant second, so when it comes to hockey, Red Wings sources get most of my limited time.  If I have any extra and I feel like it, I’ll poke my head into the pablum on Puck Daddy and hit the back button before I reach the comments.

So spew what you want, TLP—we’ve all got thick skins.

Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 06/08/09 at 12:39 PM ET

I like Puck Daddy, I just don’t bother with the comments.  It is a good resource for hockey news (in my opinion).

Being hated as a Wings fan is nothing new to me.  I’ve endured 14 years of it out here (you haven’t lived until people throw pennies at you at a hockey game, I tell ya). 

Sometimes, I just wish that I could be back home to celebrate the wins with some fellow fans.  When I was back in Michigan, it was such a treat to get to watch Game 7 of the Ducks series with my brother and be among fellow fans.

Having to work late tomorrow night is going to kill me.  O.k.  I’m done whining for the day.

They won’t become a classy well-run franchise until Baroque and Hockeychic take over as is prophesied in the scripture of the End of Days.

The Highlander has the Wings post-practice news:

Coach Mike Babcock just said that Dan Cleary will definitely play in Game 6. He also said that Pavel Datsyuk will start the game on Henrik Zetterberg’s wing. So, it looks like the same lineup as in Game 5.

Oh, and no McGill tie for Babcock. That’s a change.

Although he left practice early today, Kris Draper just said that he’s perfectly fine for Tuesday’s Game 6.

I think you guys are being a little too hard on Greg, he puts together a great blog, and while it is obvious the Wings are not his favorite team, he does a good job covering them and attempting to appear unbiased.  I don’t always agree with him, but I do think he puts together a good product that usually has some pretty good arguments.

TLP, on the other hand, clearly hates the Wings and is a bit of a hack writer as well.

Posted by Incognetis from Delaware... Hi... I'm in... Delaware on 06/08/09 at 01:33 PM ET

Hi Everyone,

As a huge Wings fan and somebody who reads the PuckDaddy stuff regularly, I have to say they do a terrific job.  They really are impartial in their assessments of games even though they may not like the Wings.  They have given the Wings plenty of credit over the past two seasons.  I love their sense of humor as well.  They are also correct in assessing that many Wings fans are overly sensitive and take themselves way too seriously.  Reading some of the comments on here is quite embarrassing, and you tarnish the good names of most Wings fans.  TLP, Wysh, please take note that not all Wings fans are whiney, bumbling, babies.

Love,

WeisTheGreat

Posted by WeisTheGreat from Cincinnati on 06/08/09 at 01:39 PM ET

I think you guys are being a little too hard on Greg

I honestly have no problem with Greg Wyshynski. He seems like a nice, smart guy with a good sense of humor. And kudos to him for going on air with Red Winger to explain his position. I believe he means what he says.*

That said, I still believe there is a pervasive undercurrent of anti-Red-Wing bias on Puck Daddy…moreso against the Wings than any other team in the NHL. But my problem isn’t with the anti-Wing bias, it’s with the fact that, like I said earlier, it always seems to be rather poorly couched in faux-objectivity. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just reading into things too much, but there always seems to be one or two pointed barbs about the Wings buried in just about every post about them.

It’s almost easier to accept a post like TLP’s who basically says “The Red Wings suck and so do their fans.” At least it’s honest and up front. With their other Red-Wing-related material, there always seems to be this undercurrent of hostility just barely below the surface. As if they’re just going through the motions of objectivity because they’ve got a non-biased reputation to uphold.

******************

* The only thing that sorta confused me in that discussion this afternoon was Wyshynski’s claim that the Lidstrom and Datsyuk All-Star suspensions can be considered an example of the NHL being “against” the Wings.

If I recall correctly, like I pointed out earlier, Greg himself argued long and hard during All-Star week that those suspensions were well-warranted. I remember arguing with him about that at length in the forums, even to the point that he later called me out in an actual blog post for what he considered to be my ridiculous argument against the suspensions.

So I’m either remembering that wrong or he has since completely changed his tune.

Posted by Mandingo from The Garage on 06/08/09 at 01:54 PM ET

Their Pesto Primavera is heaven on earth, Chic.  Absolutely the best use of pesto on the planet, and I’ve had the homemade stuff in Genoa.

@ Andrew - couldn’t have said it better myself.

Thanks Jen.  I try.

Now Andrew, I never said anything about those other delicious places.

Well Alan, you’ve got a point there.  As nationwide chains go, I was never partial to Domin-Ho’s, and even the wife agreed that the Little Caesar’s she had from a joint in a bad neighborhood in Titusville, Florida was good, so I’ll concede that.  Still, I’d take anything in Michigan over it—Guinness always tastes better in Ireland, and Little Caesar’s always tastes better back home in The Mitten.

gotta say Cottage Inn is the winner there.  Or backdoor…

Erm, that’s BackROOM Dave, but I know what you’re talking about.  They’re nothing spectacular, but hell, at a buck a slice, it’s great when you’ve drunk all your money and are staggering out for something non-alcoholic and doughy to fill up on (thus ruling out Third Coast Old Ale…ba-dum-bum).  I’ll agree with you about Earthen Jar—I used to work at the library next door and that was some good Indian for the money.

but the world, hell, the universe revolves around Zingerman’s.

Agreed, Cap’n—that’s where the Chief’s cheese came from—but for year’s I’ve watched their prices get bigger and their sandwiches get smaller, but there are days when I long for a #32, double old (and if you know what I’m talking about there, I salute you).  And speaking of next doors, I went to high school next door.  Took many a test on a stomach full of bread ends and chicken soup.

i guess has to be the chitown style stuffed pizza at pizza house.

Eh.  House is a latecomer to the scene, but they’re okay.  Still don’t beat Anthony’s for stuffed pizza.  But their white pizza’s all right, though NYPD’s is better.

Suggested reading:

I’ll keep an eye out.  Lou’s still an ugly mofo…that must count for something.  No wait…so am I.  Dammit!

Cleary’s sat out some practices before, I don’t think this means anything.  I know nobody’s panicking, but just had to throw that out there to make this vaguely hockey-related and to stop myself from gnawing at my sofa out of hunger.

Opinions,

Anyone who’s read Greg’s work over the years and knows anything about his fan background knows that he’s no Wings fan. So what? Outside opinions can be refreshing. And he knows the game.

They really are impartial in their assessments

while it is obvious the Wings are not his favorite team, he does a good job covering them and attempting to appear unbiased.

meet evidence: “Impartial Greg’s Conn Smythe Watch” after game 5

1. Evgeni Malkin, Penguins; 2. Sidney Crosby, Penguins; 3. Henrik Zetterberg, Red Wings; 4. Johan Franzen(notes), Red Wings; 5. Nicklas Lidstrom(notes), Red Wings; 6. Marc-Andre Fleury, Penguins; 7. Chris Osgood, Red Wings;

WizDoucheSki and all of the other PD contributors couldn’t find an impartial unbiased thought even if Switzerland handed them one on a silver platter. The problem is, Yahoo nhl/PD presents itself as a news source for hockey and news is supposed to be impartial. Like Andrew said above, I love MYFO even though they are notorious Wing haters because they are funny as hell and don’t bother with a veneer of objectivity.
