also in response to the whole play calgary or colorado, looking at the goal tenders for each team, i'd much rather face theodore than kipper. kipper has a better chance to steal a series than theodore.

never thought i'd be rooting FOR san jose. lol really hope caps win, ovi vs sid would be a great matchup. plus habs v rangers guarentees an original 6 team in the east finals. and either an orig 6 or superstar in the stanley cup finals from the east.

lots of people on here seem to think that as soon as a player is playing a little different, that they must be injured. give it a rest already! there has been nothing to indicate that there is anything remotely wrong with z!

he'll have to have a good training camp, i hope he does though cuase i have liked what i;ve seen. you never know if holland will pickup another forward this summer though. the FA market should be interesting. I would love to see sammy move on (though i must say he has been playing hard lately, though his puck handling as always leaves something to be desired).

miller sucked it up in my nhl 07 season 3, and i ended up winning the cup with howard. that is all the evidence i need, lol

glad to hear this, though i kind of just assumed that ozzie would get it. he def looks calm and in control out there, and i love the fact that he doesn't snow angle everytime the puck is loose in front of him. good thing there are two game 7's this week or i'd be bored outta my mind!

avs for sure. just cause i want san jose to go through another long tough series with the winner of the aneheim/dallas series.

YAYAH!!! i cant wait to finish off the ***** cats tomorrow afternoon!

keep your jesus freakiness to yourself. to quote mark twain, "In certain trying circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity furnishes a relief denied even to prayer." sounds like playoff hockey to me. as to the don't criticise the team idea, ur nuts. as a life long michigan state fan, i can tell you that criticising and critiquing the team is as important as cheering for them. If fans don't keep tabs on the team and hold them accountable, then you begin spiraling downward into mediocrity. Yes, fans must be reasonable and know that their team will not win every game. If you don't ever see faults though, then you never have anything to discuss. Obviously babs though dom was sucking it up, or he wouldn't have made the change. also, we were all bitching about hardigan not being that useful and apparently the wings coaching staff felt the same way as they replaced him with helm. bottomline-if you dont look at your teams play critcaly, the team cant improve. yes there are some ridicoulse people on here who think everyone is horrible, but to say that u cant be critical at all is just ignorant. I like babs, i like holland, and i love the wings. that won't stop me from questioning them, but doing so only makes me more of a fan.

OMG how close are these chances! should be 5-0

man we're getting good chances

in your face to all the people who were bashing flip this afternoon on the sammy thread GO WINGS!!!

wings wing 5-2 tonight, then we get a double overtime thriller on sunday with the wings winning 2-1! GO WINGS!!!!

wow, i must say i have never hated flip. i get a little frustrated when he's not playing up to his ability but never hated the guy. Sammy on the other hand just alwasy ticks me off. he makes very bad decsisions. I dont expect him to be a top scorer by anymeans. what i would like are consistent passes, not throwing the puck away with high risk passes, actually being aware of the play, and, if he must stay on the pp, learn how to work the freakin point! i just find him to be on the negative end of lots of plays. Lilja also makes a lot of bad passes and turnovers. either way GO WINGS!!!

i can;t believe this topic even exists. first of all, who actaully believes we are going to lose this series? are u serious? we beat calagary the same way last year. yes i admit i thought this would be a 5 game series, but stuff happens in the playoffs. we will win this series in 6 games, and even if it went to 7 games, with home ice we'll be fine. all of these western conference series are going to be long and hard (thats what she said) b/c face it the west is ten times better than the east. I am as frustrated as everyone else, but ur not going to sweep every team on the way to the cup. I think osgood will emerge as the netminder we need to go deep. He has the opportunity to take over this series. Remember that we would be up 3-0 if it hadnt been for these little scoring orgies that nashville pulls out of nowhere. THe Defense needs to step up a bit in my opinion. to address the whole "our secondary scoring is crap" issue - Hudler (who everyone was ripping on a month ago) has 4 points, tied with datsyuk. Franzen has been on a role. and hopefully cleary will get on track here soon. Only thing i could say to knock against holland would be we haven't really had a dominant goal tender. Hasek def is past his prime. He;s still good, but his stamina is def not what it used to be. I did like legace, cujo could have been ok but he was inconsistent. NOW if osgood works out, then we have no problem here. I would love to see the wings steal malkin or hossa from pittsburg this summer, cuase i doubt they can hold on to them both and crosby.

columbus wanted flip and our 1st round pick for federov.

ozzie, abdalkader for hardigan, stuart needs to not worry about hitting so much. sammy to the 3rd line at least, and for god sakes get him off of the pp. pp - dats z homer lids, raf pp2 - mule flip cleary kroner, lebda or stuart

man we're getting pressure but no shots!

our turn to screw over the team thats led all game!

lilja sucks. he coughed up a puck in game 2 that turned into a goal, and hes the reason we lost our chacne to play for the cup last year.

word on abdelkader

ozzy better be starting gane 5

that was a bulls*** call people crosscheck homer in front of the net all night and dont get a call

we look so bad right now. i dont know wahts wrong but they are playing terrible. we need to switch out hardigan for abdalkader in game 5
