mmmm.....Russia beats Canada.....Hawks eliminate the last Canadian team.....great week for hockey in Canada

You're 100% correct. May be a shame that Koko's last memory as a significant part of this team was on the end of serveral well placed left hooks.

Somebody will be losing their job. No way this kid should go back down ever again.

LMAO....I guess I'll have to tell you when I'm being sarcastic from now on.

I don't know...... Quenville has made a career out of dominating the Wings.

Vancouver needs to be eliminated. Nothing like extending the disappointment of the Canadian teams to 16 years.

Great move by Babcock with the line changes. The FFH line is too physical for the Quacks to match up with (given that the ZDH line matches the Perry line) and that bodes well for the Wings when they get last line change in game 5. Things are looking up.

MMMM......goal scored.....whistle blows........NO GOAL???......Announcers said it was because the official went to his mouth with his whistle therefore anticipating that the play was dead??.......I guess no official ever put his whistle to his mouth and DID NOT BLOW IT...I sau Bulls***!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Playing that way is their style...not ours. You made my point.

This s*** is hard to watch. We're gonna have a hard time beating the Ducks at "thug hockey". Skill doesn't mean much when the game is played in such an ugly fashion.

If the Pens win this game, all 4 series will be tied 1-1. I wonder if fans of the Caps/Bruins/Canucks will be freaking out, playing the blame game, questioning the head coach, knocking the officiating OR are those motives unique to fans of this site only.

Take a deep breath. The sky isn't falling. If anyone thought we were sweeping the Ducks, they needed their head examined. It's only one game. Wings are the better team, but this series will go at least 6 games.

Poser? Just what am I "posing" as? I happen to think that the most skilled offensive players in the league happen to be Russian. Is that so absurd? And to the idiot who said "Lame Post", I say "Lame Response".

Russian Skill > Canadian Skill???

It's more of a matchup thing than a matter of talent. The Crosby line tried to out skill Detroit, which played to the Wings strength. The Ducks top line will use muscle..a more likely scenario for success. Given that, the Ducks will find that running over a heartless bunch of choking Sharks was light years easier than handling Detroit's defense. The Ducks top line gets theirs, everyone else gets shut down, and the Wings win in 6.

What passes for music today astounds me. And some of you will actually think this is good?

Anaheim won in 2007 because they were the best team. That being said, I'd rather play the Ducks in the 2nd round also. Their lack of scoring depth plus inexperience at net make them a slightly easier matchup.

Playing with the lead is like having the big stack in a poker game. Much confidence/No fear This had the same feel as the Avs series last year

Better watch the blasphemy Owl! Everybody knows that Ozzie's regular season play was indicative of the rest of the team. I read it somewhere so it has to be true. It's common knowledge that any team that wins 51 games and gets 112 points during the regular season does so as much because of goaltending with a 3+ gaa average and a save percentage of just south of 88% as it does with the skills of such hacks as Z, Pavel, Hossa, Lidstrom etc etc etc. If you dont stop with such outlandish posts, I'll be forced to ignore you.

Well stated Mac..........finally an intelligent and thoughtful response to my post.........I'll agree to let sleeping dogs lie.

Figures that someone of your intellect would be into cartoons. Give me an example of a post of mine where I've crapped all over Ozzie. Or do you just make blanket ignorant statements without any factual back-up? What are you, a little 13 year old girl or something? I figure that with maybe 2 or 3 more exchanges, you'll be mentally bankrupt anyway. Now, you're dismissed.

Please ignore me...I'll try to bear the pain of your banishment. And oh yea, genius, its Orca.

Pretender? How original. Please, continue to underwhelm me with your brilliant words of wit. Looks like anyone who questions anything about the Wings faces the wrath of those blinded by the dreaded red sunglasses.
