Wings Have Not Cracked

from Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
Sounds like the Red Wings might have cracked, eh?
Please.
Not a snowball’s chance in you-know-where.
The Penguins had better know that or they are on the verge of making a terrible mistake. They had better be ready for the Red Wings’ best in Game 5 tonight. The Red Wings are proud defending Cup champions. They are back home at Joe Louis Arena, where they won Games 1 and 2 with some ease and where they have beaten the Penguins in four of the past five Cup final games going back to last season, the exception being the Penguins’ epic, 4-3 win in three overtimes in Game 5 a year ago. They also figure to get a big boost from the likely return of star center Pavel Datsyuk, their Hart Trophy candidate as NHL MVP.
Cracked?
The Red Wings?
Hardly.

Red Winger you are giving Ron Cook too much credit. Here in Pittsburgh he is just another talking head, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Good luck today, but I gotta hope we come out on the winning side.

You’re just teasing us, Ronnie. We know how you were nearly-orgasmic just a few short days ago, barely able to hide the fact you already contacted the Pittsburgh city council to make sure you get a prime viewing spot for the parade. After all, if the city of Pittsburgh doesn’t reward their football beat writers that are working OT in the summer with prime seating at the parade, then there is no justice in this crazy, mixed-up world.
Nice head-fake, Ronnie. But we know that you believe this series is over, and that the next two games are mere formalities.
But remember, when you are on the phone with a cousin from Moose Jaw, asking for clarification again if it is the man or the puck that must cross the blueline first, know that we know that in your spare time you’re scoping main street for the best seat in the house.
