http://www.mlive.com/weblogs/snapshots/ind..._04.html#246825 That's right! NOW GO OUT AND PROVE IT FELLAS!

You hate Cheli?!

There's no such thing as a cakewalk in the first round for any team. At least thats what I think. I've always thought that the quarter finals/conference finals have been the toughest of the four rounds.

Rex!!! http://www.redwingsonline.com/apps/pbcs.dl.../704020301/1128 I love these things.

Wooo that's a relief! I just hope they don't charge a lot on the extra service fees. It's a pain. I know if you purchase em at Hockeytown it's just the total, no extra stuff. But my Dad works at DMC so he's right next to Ticketmaster. Hmmmm...

During the game tonight they said playoff tickets are going on sale, and im REALLY interested in getting some. Anyone know how much it costs for Round 1?

Well tomorrow morning at 10 my Dad is going to be at ticketmaster trying to get 4 tickets. My question is what are the odds that he can actually buy them? Like they don't sell out in 5 minutes do they?!

You know how every year we're great on the PP in the season and then come playoff time nothings there? Maybe this year it's opposite! Or so I hope!

Yep. Goaltending makes all the difference in the world.

Well then great for the Wings to know that! That'll only push em more. They are capable of taking them out. They just have to up their physical play. Maybe play a little dump and chase type of hockey against teams like them instead of trying to be pretty all the time with the puck.

Look out for THE PAIN TRAIN!!!!!

As we all are. That's why they gotta go out and prove it.

He's 244 and he looks like a watusi....he makes the goalies woozy! His name is Todd Bertuzzi....44!!

I don't want Bobby Lang to leave. I still have faith in the guy as he is one hell of a player..when HE wants to be. Just be that player again, Langer!!!! Next week shall say it all.

Well barely lost to them as in lots of people were making it seem as if the Flames downright owned the Wings in the series which I don't buy at all. I think it was a pretty close series, had the Wings stars' actually showed up the series could of been different, ya know? But yeah I understand that it would be a nerve wrecking series, but im still for it and they still don't scare me. But that's just me I guess!

I am not understanding the fear of the Flames? They are nowhere near the team they were in 2004 when they ousted the Wings, and even then it's not like the series was THAT much of an edge to the Flames. I think most people forget that the series in 04 was actually a pretty close one, even with the Wings lacking toughness/grit. Every game was close, one goal games that could of gone either way. Difference was the Wings were not scoring..at all. Had they got their lines rolling and their stars showing up I bet they would of beat the Flames. Now everyones still scared of them? Why? Because their so physical? Because they have one line that can score? Puhleeease! They don't scare me. At all. In fact, I'd like the Wings to face them to get some revenge on them. Sure they have great goaltending in Kipper, but so do we in Dom. Plus, the Wings have gotten MUCH more physical and tough this year than they have in the past five. They BARELY beat us in '04 and thats when the Wings were a bunch of wusses. I'd dare them to try again with the Wings when they get their four lines rolling, and have guys such as Bert, Calder, Franzen, Homer, Markov, Cleary, Maltby..etc.. taking it to them. I really believe each and every Wing will step up in their physical play and if they do that they can beat these 'tough' teams becase we all know aside from that when it comes to offense the Wings have it in the bag...that's if they play like we all know they can.

http://video.nbcsports.com/player/?id=87237 Shows Maltby with his daughter Ella. So precious! Also, I'd love to see Kirk play now like the clips they were showing in the very beginning.

I don't buy it at all. Honestly, what could Datsyuk not be happy about? Babs says nothing but great things about the guy and gives him more ice time than any forward out there. What more do you want?!

LMAO!!! You are absolutely HILARIOUS. Well done. This should be posted before every playoff game! I love the part with the trio of Dan, Kris, and Kirk and of course the beast that goes by the name Bertuzzi!

LMAO. That was the greatest thing ever!

Yeah I don't know why they didn't show it over here. I wish they did so I could of recorded it!

I would love to have Aves back in a Wings uniform. He is a pretty damn good player when he tames it down a bit. People think this guy is the biggest ass when in reality he's not. He's only like that on ice which I think is great because he feels it's his job to agitate and be a pest. It fires up the team and thats what they need. Off ice though I can tell you he's one of the nicest players I've ever met..and I've met/talked to him four times so that should say a lot! He was consistently nice. lol

Atta boy Aves! I was going to make a thread on Whitney, but I'll just add it in here since we are talking about a former Wing anyway. Ray Whitney has been playing some GREAT hockey ever since being with the Canes. He got the OT winner tonight being his 31st goal of the year, and has around 50 assists. He is one hell of a player and very underrated IMO, the Canes wouldn't even have a sniff at the playoffs if it weren't for him. Just thought I'd like to add that in there!
