DynastyWings05 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Umm correct me if II'm wrong but Detroit has 49 wins and 110 pts with 2 games remaining. Nashville remains at 49 wins and 106 pts. EVEN if Detroit loses their next 2 games and Nashville wins their next two games both teams would have 110 pts correct? Wouldn't the tie breaker go to Detroit since the head-to-head series between DET/NAS is well in Detroit's favour? Basically what i'm trying to say is I think Detroit CLINCHED the division tonight.

Salviaman 104 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Really?? It's been officially released?!?! I not sure how I feel about Detroit and another first place finish I got my ways.... but most likely they will play on the 11th. The way I feel about Detroit finsihing 1st again and possibly another presidents trophy is awesome!!!! It shows our superior dominance of the NHL for the past 10+ years. It is an amazing accomplishment in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DynastyWings05 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 I know what you're saying I would hate to see the Wings finish 1st and then bow out again in the 1st round. atleast if they finished 4th and lost to 5th place it wouldn't seem as bad... I can hear all my friends taunting me already if the Wings bow out in the 1st round again this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Neato... Who would've thought that this would have happened back in December or January with Nashville running away from the division and Anaheim playing so strong? We've all seen the Wings do this song and dance before being the best in the regular season and we all know it's not the most important goal. However, hopefully it was a part of some goal in the pyramid chain for the team, and hopefully not the main goal obviously. As long as they don't snooze, they'll get one of these two games with a point. Celebrate the trophy for a day (assuming they win), then forget about it the next day and go back to work, hard....

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Nice to know we're still the kings of the Central. That is if they don't pull a Tigers and blow it in the final two games. What's also nice is that they're having to fight for it and be in do or die mode all the way up to the playoffs. Unfortunately I'd rather not play Calgary. They're still the rough-and-tumble team that knocked us out in 2004, and they have the same goaltender. I went to the Canucks-Flames game in Vancouver on Saturday and not only was Calgary the more physical team, but Kiprusoff stood on his head. As usual. Games like tonight's in the playoffs will get us steamrolled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tunbo Batman Report post Posted April 4, 2007 they can handle them. they got ice advantage, and didnt they win 7-4 this year or something? also, we can hope that the officiating wont be as nonexistent as in 2004. yes i know, its going to be very very bad, but maybe not nonexistent.

Mudvayneowns91 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 If we get the 1 spot and play Calgary, we'd better be a lot more physical in the playoffs this year. I'm sick of seeing less talented teams like Calgary bully us around which leads to them winning (i.e. 2004). I wanna see Bertuzzi rub off on his teammates and just cream the Flames. Put a whoopin so bad on them in game one that they wont want to come back for game two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings4thecup06 504 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Calgary scares the crap out of me when i think about a first round matchup with them. I just keep thinking about the 2004 series, the roar of the crown in calgary and that damn red goal light. Still, i think we have a great shot at them. Calgary have been awful on the road this season, and if we can jump out to a 2-0 lead in the series, then all we really have to do is steal 1 on the road and come back to the joe and finish it. Obviously its easier said than done but we've beaten the flames both times at the joe this year. Still, we're a little more physical especially with bertuzzi and calder, and just that little scuffle vs the predators a few weeks ago with lilja and sammy gave me a little bit of and idea that this team will stick up for themselves physically. I hope that trend continues, cause we're going to need it! GO WINGS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zion 93 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 We had better win convincingly at home, because we had absolutely nothing in Calgary. And, I agree, that they aren't that much different than in 2004, and I'm not 100% convinced that we're better "enough" to overcome a team like them, which is why I don't want them to play in Round 1.
