7-1 lids or was it mule?

PS when do we play the Avs, their wives and daughters have put up a good fight, but, its time they come to play us.

do i smell double digits?

I already miss micky....

Looking at Avs boards they all are using 1999 as a war cry, well I hope any that are brave enough to read LGWs will get this reality check. #1 Theodore isn't Roy, Theo can steal one if hes at the top of his game, but, he can't steal a series like Roy was able to. #2 Floppa is now a glass doll, he injured himself in a pregame skate for god's sake. #3 Foote isn't as shut down as he was, nor is he producing offensively, hes 0 points and a -2. I know Avs fans will come back and say hes never been a point scorer, which is all well and good if hes also shut down, but how can a top 6 D man not have any points and also be a negative +/- in the playoffs and the team expect to win? #4 In 1999 Osgood was injured, remember kiddos an injury is much different then the 'flu' so dont claim the same for Theo, hes just sucking. #5 No Lemieux, Tanguay, etc. I will admit in the 90s the Avs had a great playoff tested team, now, even Nashville had more people id want in a big game then the Avs. #6 And this one is important AVS SUCK

I hope that we ride him the rest of the way or until he shows signs of slowing down.

Dont count out the rags they still have fight in them. I dont think Crosby is the soul reason they are 6-0, hes a big part, but, hell the Sens didnt deserve to be in the playoffs even the fans in Ottawa knew that. I hope we do play them in the SCF because I think Lids will put him in his place. But anyway, I do think the Pens are the team that will come out of the east. PS worst playoff beard since Fedorov.

Totally disagree, despite his recurring injury hes the face of the Red Wings now, if he doesnt get a 5+ year deal i will eat my hat. Besides, if we dont sign him long term, someone else will... really want to be wrong and have Z play 82 games with Anaheim or San Jose?

While i agree that we shouldnt be cocky, the point of this post was to say that this isnt 99, and while they did pull off the series upset, those were 2 very different teams, different coaches and very few people still around from that series. I think it would be better for Avs fan to focus on their goalie problem, Injury problem, or the fact that Q is almost as useless as playfair was in Calgary.

I try to never compare years, the wings are never the same one year to the other.... every playoff year is like a finger print unique.

Yea, but its san jose, remember last year? they outplayed us for 5 of the 6 games for about 40 mins of each of those games, who went on to the 3rd round and who went to play golf?

hmm 6'3 and 230 pds? He cant be a wing, they dont have big forwards that can score....

i would love to see the pens, Crosby vs Lids, the best forward vs the best Dman, great for everyone

My crack

Oh wow, but im gunna say Theo... 4 times a night, hes really earning the ole pay check.

Pieere 'I thought detroit blows, but since im wrong ill pretend i knew all along'

They have to be new to hockey... when a goalie comes in the replace another one after a few goals everyone knows they play insane. Its just a rule of hockey...

pp detroit, bring on the blow out...

Now backing up for Colorado...Foresberg...

Chased another goalie!

Hank with the goal!

Hes not sick, its an equipment malfunction this time i bet... Frazen, wow.... I think hes trying to win the CS this year...

Still no word on Flopper...er foppa?

He is a great player, definitely turning into a good 2nd liner. I hope the wings can keep developing him into what he can be.

I am hoping its Zetts, just because while dats had more take aways and thats awesome, I still think Z is the better on defense.
