Sting 11

And sadly, we've had to say this for at least the past three postseasons. I hate to say it, but this series is beginning to follow the pattern of the 04 Calgary series and the 06 Edmonton series.

The Markov hit lit at least a temporary fire under them.

THIS is why I was pulling for Colorado so much in the last week of the regular season.

Game discussion starts here!

Let's move to the new play-by-play thread.

Uh...the team has lost exactly ONE GAME this playoff. Babcock isn't about to pull the trigger on anything! Geez, I fear for this forum if and when the Wings lose three games in a series this year.

Looks like you're making great progress, Legionnaire! You're almost about to pass me. I'm currently at 214 now, well off my high six years ago of 235, but my goal is 195, lower if I can manage it.

We need a "stay positive" thread after ONE playoff loss now? Come on, people. Who really expected a sweep? Take a deep breath. If we lose three in this series, I'll join you.

A little home cookin' tonight, that's for sure.

Uhh...fire alarm people...heads up!!

That was an awesome sequence of events. Phaneuf wasn't coherent when Draper moved in on goal.

Exactly. There's no way he should have made the playoff cut. It's almost as if he wants to be the focal point of the game, i.e. attention *****.

I'm in the FSN Detroit market...I have the game on FSN Detroit (obviously), I have women's golf on Vs. HD, and Vs. standard def and InHD are both blacked out.

Given the Wings history against the Alberta teams in the past two postseasons, it's going to be fashionable to pick against the Wings this year. It's not going to happen three times in a row. Wings in 6.

Nashville game just went final...they won 4-2, so we play Calgary. Yay.

That's a definite factor, but the chance of us running into a hot goaltender (again) is much greater against Calgary than against Colorado. Then again, maybe this year's Red Wings team won't have their playoffs defined by lobbing beachballs from the point.

I'd much rather play Colorado than Calgary in round 1, but given the fact that depends on the Oilers scoring goals, I don't like our chances.

Wow...I sincerely hope this commitment pays off.

6 or 7 years for $6 or 7 million per?? :whoa:

I'm in. I already now weigh less than I have since high school (about 10 years), but I'd still like to drop another 20-25 and add some muscle. I need to get in shape so I can get more involved in the control tower's athletic activities, and dammit, I need to find a girl.

It's probably just faded out...his helmet is older than dirt, it still has the Steve Chiasson sticker on it.

I've got two...a white Zetterberg and a red Datsyuk. I had the "A" added to the Zetterberg one this year.

The Cup appears to be gone now. According to PTI, there are only 2.5 sports: football, basketball, and sometimes baseball. Whenever they mention another sport it's usually in passing or as a joke. The show's pretty much worthless...too bad there's rarely anything else on at 5:30.

I'm a fan of auto racing in general, not just NA$CAR, so I've tried to give F1 a fair shake. I've tried to become a fan, but I just can't get into it. There's just nothing there to grab my interest. Typically whoever makes it to turn 1 first wins...the rest is normally just follow the leader. I used to watch a lot more F1 races, but now I typically just catch the US race and also Monaco, since it's such a sweet historic track. F1 is more competitive than it was in the Schumacher era, but it's still nowhere near as competitive as NA$CAR or the IRL.
