puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Dom definately needs to have a better game if he is in net. Sure he played gr8 for 2 1/2 periods but he needed to step it up late in the third and SO. 5-2 Wingz. 18 players on the Red Wings bench get paid more than Hasek, where were they? No one want to win more than Dom. He'll be there when it counts, but he wasn't the reason they lost Friday night - he was the reason they didn't lose in regulation, however. Watch a good OT and SO team like the Stars and tell me the shooters and defense are not the key reasons a team wins or loses in either. I hope to pete they show up today and are not disheartened by losing their rock of Gibraltar, Nick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I totally agree dom has taken a lot of abuse on these boards recently and i personely think it's out of order , the guys carried this team in a lot of games this season.

DRW Dominance 255 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Call this one a schedule loss. I don't think Detroit wins this game. Not after the Thursday and Friday games. Probably 4-2 Columbus and we just look tired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Call this one a schedule loss. I don't think Detroit wins this game. Not after the Thursday and Friday games. Probably 4-2 Columbus and we just look tired. No offense and you're probably right... but I don't give them room for excuses. There will be no easy games in the playoffs when the Wings can get a bye because they are tired. Everyone else has the same schedule of games down the stretch -- just more critical ones and against tougher teams than the Wiings are facing. EDIT: I hope to see Bert have a big game today.

BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Blue Jackets 13, Red Wings 2 Asked about Andreas Lilja deflecting 7 pucks into his own net, coach Mike Babcock replied, "Lils really stepped up his game today. That's what we were looking for today, especially without Lids, although we probably should have explained to him which team he needed to step his game up for." Sergei Fedorov was booed every time he touched the puck. But the gifted Russian centerman had a different take on the chants from the JLA faithful. "Those weren't boos. They were saying, 'moooooovers'." Detroit GM Ken Holland explained about the injury suffered by defenseman Nik Kronwall as he read from a medical report. "Nik suffered a broken sacrum, which is right next to his coccyx, which... hey, wait, what's going on here? Is this someone's idea of a joke? Is this someone's idea of funny? Who wrote this medical report? We'll see how funny he thinks losing his job is for inserting juvenile words into this medical report and trying to make me look like a fool!" Holland then slammed the report down and stormed off. The divide between the coaching staff's prognosis for Henrik Zetterberg's return to the ice and the prognosis of Zetterberg himself continued to grow. Coach Mike Babcock: "Hank? Hank was on the ice in the last game. Yeah, he's fine. He's been back since the Dallas game. What, you missed it? That's your problem, not mine. Yeah, he's 100%, that's why he's back." Henrik Zetterberg: "I'm done with hockey, I'll never be able to play again. I'm thinking of opening a Dairy Queen in Southfield." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Offsides 21 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Hmm. Without Lidstrom...let's put it this way...we don't always win. I think we will see a big difference. And no Krons. But Lebda is back...but will he be 100%? UGH. Ailing Defense. So, it's not an uber-important game. I don't see us winning it short of 3 things. 1. Dom totally steals the game, stands on his head, and it is as awesome as you can get. (Pretty much what our goaltending has had to do to win any games lately) 2. Our Offense actually puts up a good number of points. 3. Columbus just flat out sucks. We need at least 2 of those 3 things to win, because with that D...hmm...I hope I'm wrong. But no score prediction as always. Edited April 1, 2007 by Offsides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a busy Dairy Queen! We're not going to win. I feel bad...but we're not. Anytime we have the chance to take a comfortable points lead against Nashville, we tank.
