Wings_Dynasty

That's awesome. We own PHX. Apparently it is New Hockeytown.

Aaaand 'boom' goes the dynamite.

"No more talk! We go in! We KILL!"

100mph can outweigh some of those things.

I agree with all of this. Stuart should be on the point if Babs isn't going to use E.

Holy Hell someone in the big office reads this site.

Huh?

"The threat of any confrontation in the pre-game warmup is of particular concern to the league. To the point, Campbell warned the 16 teams, if an altercation mars the series, the offending team could lose a roster spot on the night the incident takes place, meaning the disciplined team would be forced to play the game with 17 skaters and two goalies." tsn.ca/column...eger/?id=317931 Also includes a nice piece about Holmstrom's upcoming disallowed goals. "Finally, coaches and general managers were also told goaltender interference will be watched closely. The Phoenix Coyotes are sure to remind round one officials of this on a game by game basis as Detroit's Tomas Holmstrom has mastered the art of screening, deflecting pucks, and generally agitating opposition goaltenders. The NHL intends to watch Holmstrom and all “crease crashers” closely, and Colin Campbell suggests it's best to stay out of the blue paint to avoid a penalty."

OK, predictions. There will be a fight (I'm looking at you Eaves). There will be a disallowed goal (I'm looking at you Homer). Wings 4 (Franz, Z, Cleary, Kronner) Yotes 2 (who cares)

Just for that I would paint my face red, bring one of those goal light helmets , and wave a Red Wings flag.

Jordan?

IT BEGINS!!!!!

I'm thinking Edmonton. They are due for an upgrade. Maybe even the Leafs or the Kings. All are motivated by the success they could have and have money to spend.

Quick impression of hockey fans in 10 years: "Remember when Phoenix had a team?" "No."

2nd pairing for the PK. Otherwise, take the face-off and get off the ice.

SJS/COL - 4-2 CHI/NSH - 4-2 VAN/LAK - 4-1 PHX/DET - 4-1 WAS/MTL - 4-0 NJD/PHI - 4-2 BUF/BOS - 4-3 PIT/OTT - 4-2 Western Conference Winner: Detroit Eastern Conference Winner: Capitals Stanley Cup Finals Winner: Detroit

The only name there I really worry about is Bryz. Doan seems to play well against the Wings, as does Jovo. The first line is easily matched up against one of our 2 top lines, most likely Homer-Dats-Franz. I think Babs will keep Dats and Z separate until they come up against a really dangerous 1st line, or if the Yotes somehow win a couple games. But the Yotes are a balanced team (low scoring and dependent on the top 2 lines for almost all of the offense while the 3 and 4 lines play defense.) The worry is that Bryz keeps the Wings in check and the Yotes score 2 or 3 goals a game and end up winning a few. This will be a low scoring series. Wings in 5.

Show me why they call you "Pain Train."

That's too much badass for the internet. It needs to be hung in a museum somewhere.

^ Beautiful.

I wish I could post that sound that they play in cartoons when things fail. I'll try my best. Wah Wah WAAAAAAH! Who cares. All it means is more gobbling by the NBC slappies. Even though OV and Stamkos got it first, Crosby's will be mentioned the most.

Williams + Lebda for Kane. GET IT DONE KENNY!!!

Count the rings *****.

I don't care who we face in the first round Either way I pity the fools.
