Did anyone just hear the comment on VS about the Wings win?
NeverForgetMac25 replied to RyanK's topic in General
It was not a controversial call...it was black & white. It was unfortunate for the Blue Jackets, but controversial it certainly was not. -
So Ozzie needs to finish the playoffs with a 0.67 GAA for you to eat crow? You've got to be kidding me. Name one goaltender in the history of the NHL that's done that. Of course they have, but you don't think Ozzie has as well? What games have you been watching? Logic says he probably won't, but that doesn't diminsh what he's done thus far. I'm all for the Wings continuing to play stronger and stronger hockey as it goes on, but nothing is ever enough for you. I don't know why I continue to debate with you. It's always the same...."the Wings aren't good enough, and if they win they're still not good enough, and if they win the Cup they got lucky." Life must suck to be that pissed off and pessimistic all the time.

Funny, Ozzie faced 31 shots last game and he won the game. On top of that we'll certainly need a goalie to win games when facing more than 30 shots if you start dumping the Wings' nucleus. Bottom line: Wings with depth & solid goaltending > Wings with holes & great goaltending Why are you so hell bent on turning the Wings into something they are not? Better yet, something that a good amount of teams already are, yet they haven't had the success the Wings have had? This model has worked for the Wings for the past 18 years and has brought home 4 Cups in the past 11. No one in their right mind would should want to change it?

So will the Wings if they win tonight. I realize how hot the Blues were heading into the playoffs, but they're not exactly what you'd call a tough opponent. They had injury problems before the season even began and all it took was solid defensive play and goaltending to frustrate and shut them down. The Wings' goaltending and defense have been playing the exact same type of hockey, but the Wings' depth up front blows Vancouvers' out of the water. I'm not saying Vancouver would/will be an easy match-up, just that they won't be as difficult as the Blues made them seem.

DET, PIT, NJD, ANA I was 3/3 on Monday.

So basically what you're saying is screw with the nucleus just to bring in a goaltender that is paid almost 4 times what our current goaltender is when its been proven that this team doesn't need an "elite" tender to be successful. Sounds like a plan to me!

Just an FYI, on top of choosing the winners each round, make sure you post the number of games lost by the losing team in each series to earn bonus points. As a result, the following participant will only receive 4 points for each correct pick.

You have to think Babs chuckled a little seeing Commodore fly into the Wings' bench after missing his check given their history.

Nobody's crying. Don't be so melodramatic.

TBH, I'm not too concerned about it with this core group. The Wings have certainly done that in the past, but this team is too experienced and is playing to disciplined to piss away a game like this. Don't get me wrong, I assume the BJ's will look to come out firing and if they're able to get the early lead this could end up being a tight game, but I'm not concerned about this current team relaxing. Clearly.

Those expectations were no different than they were in years past. Typical strong regular season Sharks team that can't finish the job once the playoffs begin. They still had Ron Wilson who continues to struggle to win the big game and no one on their roster was considered a post-season threat. On top of that, they weren't any "hotter" than the Wings heading into the postseason. They both were playing great, and actually finished with matching 7-2-1 records in their final 10 games. Just because a couple media "experts" picked them to win the Cup last year certainly does not mean they were the better team. They weren't.

According to who? Detroit finished with the most points, had the most depth, was healthy and had the added incentive of the bitter finish of the year before. How exactly was San Jose the better team?
-
I don't agree that superstitions change the outcome of the game either, but I also don't like to plan a party before the guest list is finalized.

What would happen if a player threw an octopus?
NeverForgetMac25 replied to Antilles328's topic in General
Delay of game penalty and a fine I would assume. Sidenote: What's to stop Chris Chelios from dressing and throwing an Octopus on the ice before the opening face-off? -
Well played. I just cringe when I see them.
-
:nonono: I hate these threads. Regardless of how inevitable it looks, its the epitome of counting chickens before they're hatched.
-
St. Louis wasn't playing as stacked of an opponent as Columbus currently is.
-
Nothing was more hilarious than watching Commodore stand over Franzen to "make his presence felt" while the puck was sailing in the back of his teams' net.

No bonus points for me! Atleast I got the winner right.

WCQF GAME 3 GDT: Red Wings 4, Blue Jackets 1
NeverForgetMac25 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in General
Is this the type of things you're going to say if the Wings are fortunate enough to win the Cup? I swear to God, nothing is ever enough for you. I would tend to agree even though Lebda has been beyond solid. Last night he was stellar all evening and he even had a gorgeous hit. -

Just a stupid clearing attempt by Filppula. A soft clear in the air up the middle. :nonono:
