While every site has their short-sighted fans, the majority are correct in saying that Dom didn't play up to snuff in round 1. A 0.888 SV% and a 2.91 GAA isn't playoff calibre goaltending. We all know Dom wasn't the only one to blame for Games 3 & 4 of the Nashville series, but he most certainly was one of them.
-
So its a team game when Dom loses, but its his individual effort when the Wings win it?
-
I agree that Dom wasn't mediocre in Games 1 & 2, but he was bad in Games 3 & 4. Balance it off and you've got the very definition of mediocre.
-
If you're referring to my comment, I stand by it. I respect and appreciate the contributions Dom has made for the Wings, but I'm not going to applaud him for his play during this season's playoffs. He was mediocre. Not terrible, not spectacular.

Fair warning: If the Wings are ahead towards the end of a game in Dallas you might see a couple heaved onto the ice. -
I have to agree with DS. The Wings (or their fans) are in no place to rip on Dallas for who they've knocked out considering who the Wings have disposed of. Bottom line, both teams deserve to be where they are. The Wings struggled a little out of the gate, but that was due some mediocre goaltending and a goalie that was standing on his head, and then destroyed an injury-riddled team (which BTW, is what good teams do...finish off weaker opponents in 4 games). I don't fault the Wings for this, nor do I fault the Stars for playing the defending champs who couldn't a buy a goal. The fact of the matter here is that both teams have solid clubs and both are scary when they are "on". Right now, both teams seem to be which should make for a great series. All this bickering back and forth is nothing more than people trying to cover theirs fears and respect for the other team.

No worries. Welcome aboard! -
Do you know what "The Onion" is? Its a fictional satire newspaper. No need to worry about the coach's comments, as he never made those.

:nonono: That way you can be the new Wings GM, because I'm sure you could do a much better job.

The link doesn't work. Excited Dallas Stars

Uh....I think you quoted the wrong guy. You probably meant to quote OsGod. When you quote someone you hit the button under their reply, not above it. -
It wasn't the first time MLSE has fired a coach when it wasn't all their fault. I guess thats my point.

Wednesday (5/7) Practice Update - Flip is skating
NeverForgetMac25 replied to 40#1Fan's topic in General
I think the Lids-Raf split has more to do with Dallas not having one clear line that is dominating (similarly to Detroit's top 2 lines). With two decent top lines, you're better off with these more balanced defensive pairings. Obviously, I would think the PP lines would remain unchanged. -
Cue Osgod complaining about how cheap "Mr. Moneybags" is......oh wait, he might have paid for those.
-
That I'll agree with. It's just that MLSE keeps ignoring the problem and pinning it on the Coach instead. You are right in saying that Maurice is just mediocre.

Maybe not on the ice, but since the refs have started to hand the Octopus to Al he's swung it in the Zamboni entrance for the crowd to see. -

Way to go league! First you ban something that should've never been in the first place, then only 2-3 weeks later you discuss lifting your new BS ban. Brilliant! :nonono: -
Of course it would nice, but I'm not about to think that far ahead. I'm hoping the Wings can win this one, this year.

DET/DAL: 4-2 PIT/PHI: 4-2
-
TBH, Turco is seeing the puck really well right now. Now the way to get into a goalie's head when they are seeing it that well is moving him side-to-side. The Wings PP will turn out to be crucial in this series, and if Dats and Z can make plays like they did on the fourth goal in Game 3 of the Colorado series, it'll just be a matter of time before Turco's confidence goes with it. He obviously struggles at the Joe (and against Detroit in Dallas for that matter), but he is playing with more confidence than we've ever seen him. That being said, if the Wings can make those neutral zone plays, spring a couple odd-man rushes together then they should have no problem putting some pucks in the net given how successful they are running their 2-on-1's right now. If/when that happens, it should be enough to rattle Turco and hopefully open the flood gates. The difference here though is the defense will be much stronger than the Wings have faced in the first couple rounds. If they can get around that, I think they'll not only score some goals, but Turco will fold as he has in the past against Detroit.

NeverForgetMac25 replied to barnettkid14's topic in Hall of Fame
No, its just that our "back-up" goalie lead the league in GAA this season, and is 6-0 in the playoffs. That being said, it isn't the best trash talk to make comments about our "back-up" goalie when you compare Turco's numbers against Detroit to Osgood's numbers against Dallas. That just makes Dallas fans look silly.- 495 replies
