Never said they did. I don't care who was playing for the Wings, it still doesn't take away from the fact that the Ducks physically outmatched the Wings and moved on. If Schneider and Kronwall were in, (a lesser Kronwall mind you), they would've been getting smacked around with all the other guys. That's the Ducks game, and it usually works against Detroit. esteef

They still finished the job didn't they? Lucky or not. (See Homer's forehead and the Ducks 2007 Cup). esteef

Certainly the defenseive injuries played a part, especially when a tough team crashes and bangs you all series. esteef

Because Carlyle's a dumbass? He doesn't play EVERY game so that makes him useless? Technically, the Ducks can push the Wings around without Parros, but him being in would certainly help the Ducks. Get in Ericsson's face, smack guys around, all this would fire the Ducks up. That's the game they play and the one that works against Detroit. (see 2007). They have less guys like that on their roster now with May, Moen and Thornton (hell even Kunitz) gone. Parros would help in that regard. I'm just loving all these fighters this year getting good playoff ice time and NOT being detriments to their teams as some here would have people believe. Fighter on team =/= instant penalty, loss. esteef edit: Gordie beat me to it!

Last year's road to the Cup was pretty soft and didn't include the Ducks. Just sayin'. If the Ducks really beared down on Detroit like we've seen in the past they could really cause some havoc and IMO is their only chance to win the series. esteef

Says you. I disagree. The Wings can be pushed around and it certainly gets them off their game. The Ducks are stupid to try and match talent with talent against the Wings forwards. They've beaten us in the playoffs before by playing physical and they should be doing it now IMO. But, goody for us! esteef

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Fact is he's an enforcer that played the entire series against the best team in the league (record-wise) in the playoffs, which according to some on this board should never have happened. And oh by the way, they won the series with said fighter in the lineup. No place for enforcers in the playoffs my ass! That's all. esteef

He asked to sit out because he was scared of Kopecky. esteef

You mean the Parros that played all six games of the Sharks series and Game 1 of this one? Yes, I've seen him. esteef

Remember kids, there's no fighting in the playoffs. It's useless and takes away from the game. esteef

Holy s***! He's a lefty?!!

His Mom is gutless!!!! esteef

CACKILACKY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey lookie, a chinsy little fine for a millionaire's cross check to the head on Varlamov. I guess it's dirty enough to be a fine but not a suspension. That's fair right? http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs/2009/news?id=4143194 esteef

If Crosby had tapped that goal in would it have counted then? esteef

Yep. Especially after a win at home in the playoffs against the Wings. esteef

Haha! Pushed around like little ******* after getting beat! Feels good don't it? esteef

Technically, Sid had a lot more comments than the one in question, it's just the one that really stood out amongst most fans. esteef

I can't believe a player would intentionally hit a goalie in the head like that! What a dick Downey is! esteef

And I thought he looked great last night too, until the late penalty of course. esteef

Somebody beat ya to it! http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57443 esteef

Of course he's not suspended, he's a Penguin who needs to help Crosby win. No surprise here. esteef

Malkin. He's already gettin' it from Pens fans. Just sayin'... esteef

It's not his fault! It's physics!!! esteef
