Wings_Dynasty

Go back to Wales and Campbell and distribute it as AFC and NFC or AL and NL. The Isles and Rangers could be in different conferences and put 3 Original 6 in each. There could be inter-conference play for 1/4 of the season and all teams and FANS would have to deal with travel and time zone terror. Also, the play-offs would be MUCH more equal. That would be awesome to have a series in NYC, then TX, then CO, then BUF.

Anyone else notice the stats that killed the Wings in the reg. season for the Sharks are lacking in the playoffs? GAA, S%, and PP% are all average and below average. I am surprised at only 2 PPGs in that penalty and cheap-shop laden series with the Preds.

This is true. Chelios is an immortal dark Jedi. How else can you explain that shorty? Yeah, we also own you on individual awards. Lidstrom, Fedorov, and Yzerman alone own the Sharks.

I can't trusth this article. It's like its written in another language. It says he will miss at least the first 3 games and that Sammy would replace him on line #1.

No prediction. Wings play 60 minutes of Red Wings hockey. GO WINGS GO!!!

The only thing you can count on in this series in terms of lineups is that Thornton, Marleau, and Cheechoo will be seeing Lidstrom a lot.

GO STARS GO!!! EDIT: Also, the game will be on CBC. In case you want to watch it as Canadians see it, you know, minus all the equal officiating. By the way, I found a quote in Star Wars that fits the situation last night perfectly. See signature below.

Always the underdog this season. Next. There will always be a dominant team in each division and weak teams. And in the case of the Pacific and Central, there were 2 dominants. One has to be better than the other. Wings were better than Nashville and the Ducks were better than the Sharks. But they weren't alone beating up lesser opponents all year, they had divisional competition. And don't lump LA in with the Stars and Ducks. You won't last long here with that attitude. By the way, I count ZERO facts in your "post" and at least 4 in mine. Here are the facts: 1. Wings and Sharks allowed same number of goals against in reg. season. 2. Sharks had 4 more goals for 3. Wings were beat by San Jose because of penalty trouble 4. Play-offs are tightly called thus far. Next.

That really sucks. I would be in 3rd. The bad part is that I didn't even watch any of the games and they had no sway on my picks.

Can you explain my score? I don't get it, what games were I DQ'd from? I guessed all 8 winners and I only ended up with 28 points. Was I left out of the East.? If I had gotten in on time, I see my score as 56. Is that right?

I can guess with the best of them. I guessed all the winners in the first round in NFM25's game (my game totals were wrong and I put my ballot in a little late, but I did get all the winners). I think I could hold my own against them. Seeing as I have a better record than all of them just guessing who is going to win a series.

Already done. http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42453 Scroll down.

They are not better on paper. If anything, they are equal or less than the Wings. They had the same goals against and only 4 more goals for. Their defense has zero big names and their offense is sloppy in their own zone (from watching the Preds series). If they bring the game they brought in the first round with their "B" at best goalie, they are looking at a 5 game series MAX. They are better off rolling 3 mediocre lines instead of the 2 power lines they rolled against Trashville and hoping for the Wings to get into penalty trouble like they did in the regular season. Then they can send out their 2 power lines as PP and then maybe catch the Wings on the PK. But how many times will the Wings be in the box when they know it was their downfall during the season? The Wings ran into penalty trouble against the Flames because they were forced to bring the game to Kipper and needed to be physical to get past the Flames D. Now that the Sharks are going to bring the game to the Wings, Detroit will have less physical play to contend with getting to Nabokov and will benfit with San Jose taking lots of penalties in a tightly called play-offs.

Burnside's Analysis and Prediction Sharks in 7. He also works for ESPN.

Divisions don't mean anything. On any given night, any team in the NHL can take down the best ranked team. Conversely, if the Sharks lose Thorton or Marleau in the 1st period with a broken orbital bone after a puck in the face, all this guess work goes down the pipes. Detroit is the ONLY team in the NHL with less than 20 losses. That's good enough for me to believe that they won't lose 4 games of 7.

What else is new?

He didn't get it in the eye. He got it in the forehead and blood ran into his eye. And on the way home his eye was swollen shut. But as the ML article says, it is much better.

M-Live Article Also, Holland says Game 1 isn't out of the question.

TSN Article about Homer's Injury I doubt 3-4 games. Probably Game 1. But his ass will be on the ice for Game 2. He is too tough to miss games becuase of a cut to the forehead. Swelling and pain may not be enough to even keep him out of Game 1.

Bump to the top. We need more.

NVM.

Nice one Matt. Got bored at work, so here we go.

Wings won 6-0, not 5-0. I remember cause the scores matched. 6-0 and 6-0.

I feel the same way. You drag you ass into work and plop down at your desk and someone says, "Wow! What's wrong with you? Late night?" And right before you tell them to stop talking so ******* loud, you look up and say "I'm a Wings fan, and Franzen is awesome." with a smile on your face and bright, red eyes.
