    Hank: NHL's Best?

    Selanne and Zetterberg are equal??? Selanne got a soft goal from Hasek and a gift from Lilja. Hes been either invisible or pathetic this entire series, GWG or not. As for Heatly Spezza and Heatly, Ill withhold my judgement of Hank until he has a Dany Heatly of his own to go along with his Jason Spezza (aka Pavel Datsyuk). No knocks against Homer, but having a 50 goal scorer alongside a healthy Hank would make him Peter Forsberg Version 2.0

    I do. Theyll take more boneheaded penalties. But to be honest, I doubt they give a s***.

    Hank: NHL's Best?

    Hes getting there. Before he was injured, there was no question he couldve been a 100 point man. Obviously, he wasnt on pace for it given his linemates were very subpar for the first third of the season, but he was on an absolute dominating tear once he had a linemate of his calibre. You can talk all you want about Ottawas top line, but what Hank and Pavel do without that third stud (no offense to Homer, but hes no Dany Heatly) is very impressive. Hes got the entire packaged, and hes probably top 5 in the best all around player category when you look at his defense and offense.

    Tomorrow Night

    Ive been in a piss poor mood since we lost until I realized this afternoon what a joke it is that Im so nervous and bitter. We havent been eliminated yet, its been a long time since the Ducks outplayed us, and we have plenty of reasons to expect the Wings to come out on top in Games 6 and 7. And you know what? f*** it if we lose. I know it will suck ass, but most of us here have had the chance to see the Wings win 3 Cups already. Thats more than some people have watched their team win in their entire old-aged lives (Im lookin at you Leafs fans). At least we're lucky enough to see our team have tons of success year in and year out. Thats more than, well, pretty much every fan of the other 29 teams can say right now. You gotta put it in perspective and just be thankful that we're still watching OUR team play OUR favorite sport well into the month of May. With that said, its not over til its over, and I am very confident that the Wings win this game by a healthy 2 goal margin tomorrow.
  5. Yeah but he never rearranged a Wings face. Cheli on the Wings is not akin to Claude on the Wings....or Bert on the Avs.

    salt in my wounds

    Well then itll be that much sweeter when you get picture after picture of Henrik Zetterbergs face after a hattrick performance in Game 6.

    'WE BELIEVE' Positive Thread

    I think the Wings play better than anyone when they play with urgency and determination, and what better catalyst than elimination from the playoffs?? Wings will pull out the next 2.

    Best Players for the Ducks

    Giguere and Getzlaf. Niedermayer and Pronger are showing why theyre a step below Lidstrom and Selanne is a joke if he doesnt get goals put on his stick for him.

    You guys do all know that losing Games 4 and 5 is just an elaborate scheme to add some games to the schedule so that Kronwall can play in the finals, right?

    WCF Post-GAME 5 (5/20): Ducks 2, Red Wings 1 (OT)

    Selanne? Who said anything about Selanne? Anaheim DIDNT earn a free pass to a too many men on the ice call, they DIDNT earn a PP off of Datsyuk, and they didnt earn a goal that came off a lazy shot that deflected off Lidstroms stick and slipped barely under the crossbar. They didnt EARN to be in OT in the first place. The Red Wings gave it their all through 60 minutes. Im not surprised they were both emotionally and physically fatigued in the OT. Not getting a win that you earn will do that to you.

    Lilja was amazing all game until that mistake. IF he were a Duck in Red Wing clothes, he wouldve lost the puck to Teemu who wouldve hit the post with his shot, then Lilja wouldve taken the puck to center ice, taken a lazy slapper and the puck would bounce of 4 players, the boards, hit Gigueres skate, the opposite post, and somehow find its way into the back of the net. You say Lilja, I say where was his support? Two ducks on one defenseman right in front of his net is a recipe for disaster no matter who it is.

    I'm sick of all the pessimism

    The Wings arent done until theyre done....but it takes a lot out of you when youve been positive that the Wings would win the past 2 games and they havent. I dont know how much more positivity I have in the tank when it hasnt been working for the past 2 games.

    What is with this fascination with earning it? Anaheim didnt earn their win tonight, so Im not sure where youre going with that.

    We appreciate the sympathy. This one really stings.

    With the way the Wings have played in this series, they deserve to already be in the final round.

    Yup. That about sums it up. Exactly how I feel.

    Im so sick of this s***. Ive been in a bad move since we lost Game 4 which we also shouldve won, and now Im stuck in it. If we lose Game 6....well then I guess its good that Ill be hopping a plan to South America for 5 weeks.

    Thats what makes it so painful. All those guys skate circles around Selanne, yet Selanne gets the luck. f*** the hockey gods.

    WCF Post-GAME 5 (5/20): Ducks 2, Red Wings 1 (OT)

    Haha are you serious? I can guarantee you every Ducks defenseman ran that same type of play on the Red Wings at least once each in this game alone, and never got called for it. The only reason the Wings get the calls they do in this series is because of the blatant bonehead moves the Quacks make, usually within feet of a ref.

    WCF Post-GAME 5 (5/20): Ducks 2, Red Wings 1 (OT)

    I have to agree. It just wasnt meant to be. While our shots are missing by mililmeters, their asses are being saved by fluke stick deflections on a penalty that shouldnt have even been called.

    Youre a Wings fan. You should get it. This is becoming old hat for the Wings.

    Ironically, it only sucks for the Wings when the Yucks need a goal.

    WCF Post-GAME 5 (5/20): Ducks 2, Red Wings 1 (OT)

    Thats the s***tiest part about it. Anaheim has played so many piss poor periods, Detroit has been the better team in the last 4 games, and we're still down. I MISS MATHIEU SCHNEIDER.

    WCF Post-GAME 5 (5/20): Ducks 2, Red Wings 1 (OT)

    Didnt Forsberg redirect the puck in off the inside of his skate blade? Either way, this isnt the 2002 Wings team and this isnt the Colorado Avalanche. I dont buy comparisons.

    What a ******* joke. I cant believe this game even went to OT.
