Its looking like a carbon copy of games 3 and 4, isnt it?? ******* pisses me off to no end. And so does the officiating. -
Game 5: (4/21) Flames @ Red Wings - 3:00 PM ET
YoungGuns1340 replied to aflac9262's topic in General
Wings have become a piece of s*** team. For the past three games, only 5 or 6 individuals have come to play. Every night its somebody different. We have no momentum, no luck, and Kipprusoff gets EVERY GOD DAMNED CALL TO GO HIS WAY. -
They didnt get many of those chances in game 3 and when they did tonight, Dom was there. He IS part of the team too and he made the stops. You can say odd-man rushes, I can say amazing stops by our goaltender. Either way, we didnt get dominated by Calgary at all yet. Dan Cleary wasnt credited for a hit in Game 3. Phaneuf would say otherwise.
-
Amen.
-
Nor did they score on any of their 5 on 4s (technically I know they did, but it was 1 second after the 5 on 3 expired so obviously it was still a 5 on 3 for all intents and purposes). Take away the 5 on 3s and its a 2-1 Wings victory simple as that. Fewer lame calls and we're fine.
-
Yeah I just made that in a statement above. Honestly, the teams were fairly matched up tonight. These two games have just been tough breaks for the Wings. Look at the goals. 1 bad break and two 5 on 3s. Had the 5 on 3s gone the Wings way, wed all be celebrating a victory tonight. Sure the Wings didnt play their best and their PP was atrocious, but Calgarys 5 on 4 PPs didnt do anything either tonight. If anything, we should acknowledge the fact that although the score was the same tonight, Calgary is needing more and more help with scoring their goals while Detroits goals are just hard work and skill.

I just dont like the idea of having a forward on the point. We tried it for TWO years straight (Sammy and Willy) and its been a disastrous experiment. Defenseman should always man the points and Babcock should ONLY be choosing from Filppula, Hudler, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Homer, and Bertuzzi to be out on the PP. If he needs other guys he should look to Cleary and Franzen. And that should be it. Speaking of which, Franzen was probably our best forward tonight and Babs didnt have him out there on the PP. I love Cleary and love how hes played lately, but Franzen-Lang-Bert was clicking. Why switch it up on the PP?
-
...so you are just going to completely ignore games 1 and 2?? We havent dominated games like that in years. We can do it again. Weve already proved it twice. People are forgetting that the Flames havent been THAT impressive. Theyve BARELY beat us both times when theyve played their best yet when we play our best we KILL them. If the Wings buck up their special teams, this series is OVER and the Wings are on to the next round, as simple as that. With a few PP tweaks, we should be fine.
-
Look on the bright side. Detroit did all they seemingly could in the playoff series of the past years and couldnt get anything done. At least now we know when the Wings play their best game, they win.
-
...and Schneider is a defenseman. Used to playing more minutes. And its the playoffs. He can do it. Lilja has proved to be an amazing PKer. Lidstrom plays the full PKs with Lilja, Chelios, and Markov picking up the rest. Schneider plays the full PPs with Lebda and Lidstrom (sometimes Markov) picking up the rest.
-
Unlike most I guess, I dont think these games have been reminiscent of Calgary in 04 or the Oilers last year. Or Anaheim either. Kipper has been beatable, weve been physical, weve won a lot of the battles, havent backed down from physical play, and have gotten scoring from all of our lines. People have to recognize that sometimes things simply dont go your way and honestly, if the Wings dont have the attitude to come back to Detroit and give the Flames an ass whopping, we werent meant to be here in the first place. This isnt an unbeatable goaltender, an impossible trap, or physical dominance. ITS PLAYOFF HOCKEY. The Wings are a better team than the Flames. The proof is in the fact that the Flames only dominance has been on 5 on 3s. We can do this. Its not impossible.
-
I wrote Schneiders name twice on purpose. He has a bullet of a shot, knows how to pick his spots, is a good passer with decent speed and knows hot to keep the puck in. John Tortorella plays St. Louis and Lecavalier for over 25 minutes a game. You cant tell me when your PP isnt clicking that you cant have your 1st/2nd best Dman out there for a full two minutes up a man.
-
I really think the Wings are just hitting a rough patch. DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER HOW THINGS WERENT GOING OUR WAY IN THE VANCOUVER SERIES??? Sure, we lost the first two that time, but we can still come back from this. We have before and weve proved we have the leadership, grit, and heart to do it this time around. Honestly, Hasek will buck up after that, Datsyuk and Zetterberg will tak some responsibility for themselves as will Lidstrom, and well be on home ice in a situation of desperation. We can do this. If Sammy gets benched itll only be more of a boost.
-
Exactly. I think the calls to put us down 5 on 3 were weak, but we had 6 OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR OWN. Thats disgraceful. Our PP is opperating at about 7% while the flames is about 27%. Is anyone else as concerned about Lidstrom as I am?? The guy has been off with the passes, with his stick, with his shots, with his timing. Im most worried about that.
-
The Wing are NOT DONE yet. Then again, Ive been fairly positive with the Wings down in the last two games and BOTH times, theyve let me down. Heres a thought: Hudler + Datsyuk + Bertuzzi + Lidstrom + Schneider on the PP Filppula + Zetterberg + Homer + Schneider + Lebda on the PP NO Lang, NO Sammy.
-
What an embarassment. I am speechless. Say what you want about the reffing - was terrible - but the Wings had their fair share of chances and blew them all.
-
I have never been so embarassed off the Wings PP. or LIDSTROM LIDSTROM SUCKED TONIGHT. <---first time ive ever said that in my life.
-
Wow. I cant watch this next game.
-
Sammy on the PP. Hudler benched. Lidstrom sucked. Hank sucked. Datsyuk had no help. Filppula and Franzen were awesome and got no time.
-
Well my prediction was wrong.
-
Thats great. But thats not how I see it. And you know it wouldnt kill you to be positive. Be careful what you predict. YOU LOSE NOTHING IN BEING POSITIVE.
-
Oh and I forgot. Zetterberg scores a goal.
-
This is how I see it. 3-3 going into the last 3 or 4 minutes, Detroit scores a late goal, then puts in the empty netter and lands themselves a 5-3 win.
-
Dude. BELIEVE. Try it. Still 20 minutes left. We WILL WIN THIS GAME, but you gotta be positive about it. STOP ******* WITH THE COSMOS WITH YOUR NEGATIVE ENERGY.

Thanks!
