Well a few hours ago there was talk of sweeping. Every game your gonna say is our last and every game im gonna say I hope it's not.

One is a start.

Yeah. I mentioned him in my OP. He's efforts make a difference. They dont always show up on the score sheet, but teams need players like him. He creates situations that are for the good more often than for the bad. I like him. Also he has one helluva playoff beard.

I like the line-up we went with. We mixed things up a little and took out Conner and put in Barch(our Mccarty or Downey, but not that skilled of a fighter). Not to mention the shake up for with some of our forwards. It seemed to have kicked us a little in the right direction.

Im sure it was. I never said anything different. Please dont call me "honey". It's sort of patronizing.

haha I said our local guys on the radio said it should have been a goal. We need to score to win a game. Not have goals taken away from Detroit.

Angry language.

Our local guys said it was a phantom call. Sounded like a PP clinic, though.

Thanks but the firewall up here just wont allow that haha. Radio will do. It's our local crew.

Wasn't able to attend this due to work. Listening in

ahh ok.

Oof. Might be a silly question, but why dont the Red Wings and Pistons play in the same arena? Or do they?

Stars Site Scroll to the right to where it says find your seat and type in section 318 row A. Thats where my seat is. On my end(the other side is a little different) there is the lower bowl and then two sets of suites on top of eachother and then my seat.

Yikes. Yeah, Im serious. Im a season ticket holder so my tickets are all in hand already. My ticket (upperdeck, row a, offensive goal side) $100.

My progression through the rounds went, $44 for the first, $60 for the second, $80 for the third, and $100 for the SC finals.

What type of prices are you guys looking at? My seat would have been $100 dollars for the SC finals. I sit on the first row of the upperdeck behind the goal on the offensive end.

We still haven't played as well as we could. And I dont think we will either. Losing Stu Barnes in game 6 against San Jose to concussion like symptoms did a number on our team. He was our best defensive draw centerman, and plays a huge part in our penalty kill. We're just a beaten and broken down team rightnow and I hope we can at least pull out one win. I didnt put any stock into the 33 years thing when thats all San Jose would talk about, so Im not going to on this side of it either. Detroit is the better team and will probably advance. That being said, some of you folks here really need a big slice of humble pie.

3-2 Stars.

This is some pure arrogance. You have a good hockey team, but seriously.

Well, I was in attendance and let me tell you something...wow. You guys' first line boardline unfair. Too good. Different circumstances contributing to me missing all the games against Detroit this regular season, so this was my first taste so far and again wow. Seeing that speed infront of me was amazing. You guys have got some talent. I think we might be the best team at providing short-handed chances to the other team in the NHL. And as usual they bury them. We had our chances to make things happen and it just didnt click. And then everything just sort of got worse for us. Detroits powerplay made/makes our penalty kill(#1 until the last day of the season) look like childs play. I thought my boys hung tough for a good while and put up a good fight, but Detroit is just too talented up front for our young D this year. This experience is very valuable to those guys, but Niskanen is my age and I couldnt imagine trying to defend #13 or #40 in open ice. f*** that haha. Good game and heres to a game 5 (hopefully)

No problem.

Modano: He took FOOOOREVER to get up and he strolled to the bench while Detroit was already set up and he couldnt send a fresh one in until he got near the bench...I got a little mad at that point. I think Modano just had his bell rung. I watched his feet as he stepped onto the bench and they did that little "i cant quite lift em both yet" type thing, but later he seemed ok. Minus his turnovers(nevermind those). Morrow: I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a seperated shoulder or an broken collar-bone. His, if I remember correctly, left arm was doin the dangle as he skated off. He went straight down the tunnel, and I assume they popped it back in and probably shot it up with some numbing medcine. He was back after the first TV timeout after that. He came back and put a hit on someone. I just cant get enough of him. Say what you will but any team would be lucky to have him. I know we are. Ribi: He's very patient with the puck. Sometimes too patient and instead of making the quick snap pass or shot he'll wait it out and then it all closes shut and nothing happens. But, then again he's a wizard with the puck and some space...some space being key. He didnt seem all that gassed. Maybe at the end. He had some great backchecks as did Peterson.

Well, this is a classy thread.

I doubt they want it more. They're just better.

haha you learn exit routes real well throughtout a season.
