Rice 42 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 If we can win the first 4 games, I think we'll have this series bagged. And advance to round 2. Oh, really? I'm not going to make any predictions. What I do know is the Wings are a more dynamic team than they were last year. In my opinion they are the underdogs in this series. Everyone thinks this is the type of team that kills the Wings, and to an extent they're right. A series win will be a huge confidence booster for the Wings. I see Datsyuk surprising the world. Hopefully Zetterberg will be rested, not rusty, and tear s*** up in this series. Hasek needs to play great and the defense must limit mistakes. Our forwards are younger this year and we have a good mix of guys who have won it and haven't won it. We also have a nice batch of players that are in contract years. Go Wings.

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 i don't know..that home game record is what scares me about the flames Good thing we got home ice then. Sheesh, can we please put a ban on crapping our pants about the Flames' home record? You all know that also means they have a terrible road record, right? They're in fact the only playoff team that has a losing record on the road. And let me repeat, loud and proud, so everyone can hear: WE HAVE HOME ICE ADVANTAGE. So if we're a bit concerned about Calgary's home record, the Flames should be absolutely terrified for the same reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USAFWingedWheel 4 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 flames in 5...sorry....i just don't find this team much different then last easons and the season before that.....and also the injuries we have at the moment will bite us in the end...the only thing that can slow down this train wreck is if datsyuk finds a groove and will keep us close...flames in 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) I think you think it'll be a sweep. Otherwise I bet you'd just come out and say it. Am I right? Nope don't think it's a sweep. I'd never predict a sweep. I'm fine with making predictions for any team but I feel uneasy about making one for the Wings. The hell with it though because I have a really strong feeling about this. klsjdkgjs!!! Game 1: Wings Game 2: Wings Game 3: Flames Game 4:Wings Game 5:Wings *Cleary wins it in OT* The Wings are not going to take the Flames lighlty which is great. Thats the exact attitude they need the second the puck drops, don't take em lighlty and take it to them! I don't see the Wings letting any team push them around anymore which is what they've been lacking since 2002. They know what they gotta to do win and I know Babs will have em fired up. GO WINGS!!!!!

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 Um ... cause Tunbo Batman said if Z doesnt play we lose ... so im like were not a 1 man team ... meaning it dont mean that if zetterberg doesnt play were done ... I know, I was being facetious. Oh, and if the Wings lose the first? Look out for the second, third and fourth games. Nothing gets a second-round scorned team flared up like smug sports-journalists.
