dang, Giguere, that would have been a pretty shortie...

my cable is glitchy, but did Neidermeyer do anything? Who cares.....SCORE!!!!!! Back we come!

Yikes, what was that about? Shut up, Yuck...

Bert...

my cable is messed up... nothing on a 5 on 3? Can't win if ya don't score.

can't imagine why anyone would want to be a goalie in Detroit... except that it is the greatest team in the NHL, maybe? It's always easiest to blame the goalie, especially when most fans expect perfection every night, and then when he fails to deliver they panic. At least most people in here are able to see that there's more to each goal than Hasek suddenly becoming incompetent overnight.

Obviously, you think all of them are his fault, so we'll just agree to disagree. Thanks, HC, for trying....

obviously, I love the guy. And I don't really disagree with taking Dom out to try and wake the Wings up. Too many men, delay of game, whatever -- Dom killed it all off the last game, but as you said, tonight may just not be his night. I love him to death, but do allow that he can have an off night.

actually, I wasn't kidding when I said put Ozzie in. It might wake the Wings up to know that Dom can't stop everything every night. Ozzie would be just fine out there, and the Wings might wake up if they know they better play, too.

not me! They'll get it back, wait and see...

and I must say, I love how the Hasek bashers come rushing out when things go bad. Welcome!! I stand by Dom unlike people who only appreciate him (sort of) when he wins the games for the Wings, but if Babs pulls him and let's Ozzie tackle a couple of Yucks, that works for me!

of course it is... how long have you been posting here?

someone might want to consider scoring a couple of goals....

OK, time to pull Dom and shake these guys up. Ozzie???

Hopefully the Wings get pissed and don't make Giguere look like a genius. Where's the momentum we ought to have tonight.

seriously, can you post something besides bitching about Dom? Where were you when he was stellar last game?

they'll get it back, I expected the Ducks to come back like this.

just great. Hope someone's up to the task of scoring a few tonight.

can't even blame the refs for that, can we?

too many men on the ice, Wings... PP to the Ducks. What happened to stay out of the box?

let's see how many times the show this one, eh? Thanks, Giggy, you're a peach!

bad start, Wings.

it is true, I found Sharks fans to be very intelligent and fair over the 5 years or so I saw the Ducks at least 10-12 times a season. SJ fans love their team as much as we do the Wings. I only know one Anaheim fan, so I can't make a judgement based on that sample. The King fan (again, singular) I know personally is also very knowledgeable, but I rarely talk to him in the post-season.

well, that does it for me! Did you order pressed duck for lunch, I hope?? Good luck tonight, WW! scene after the last game at the Ponda: j/k...

I dislike pretty much everything about the Ducks (Yucks) organization, starting with Burke and working my way down the ranks. This series has done nothing to change my opinion. There are individual players there I like to watch. I wish some of them could escape to another team, much as I hope for relief for players I like who have been exiled to Phillie. But the fans are another matter. Aside from a couple of intractable bores who are looking for validation they won't find here, the other fans from Anaheim and all but one from the Sharks, are clearly knowledgeable and fun to talk to. It's a little much for opponents' fans to come here (it's a Red Wings site, ya'll!!) and expect us to agree that our players suck. Or that bad calls which cost us the game are appropriate. Or that blatant transgressions and attempts to injure our players should be allowed and applauded. That's just not reasonable. To post something like that isn't just airing an opinion, it's asking for long-time fans here to disagree with you. It's not ripping, if we disagree. You're simply not correct in our opinions. I understand homerism. I am one myself when it comes to my boyz in the winged wheel sweaters. I don't post on other boards, however. If anyone comes here and posts decent comments and wants to discuss, you won't find a better place than LGW, anywhere.
