ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Just now on the Versus panel, Hitchcock was saying how Detroit wasn't getting the credit they deserve and that Calgary only has a few lines that can compete with us. Nice words Hitch! We need the optimism! Edited April 12, 2007 by ShanahanMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esteef 2,679 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 Yep, saw that. Specifically he praised how well Detroit can pressure you one on one even when you have the puck. Draper comes to mind... esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Good words by Hitchcock. Finally someone gives them some credit. Seriously, I'm glad someone feels the Wings are a good team. I'm really getting tired of all these guys in the media saying how the Wings will be rolled over and stomped flat by Calgary. They don't know s***. The series hasn't even started yet, and their already calling the Wings out. Edited April 12, 2007 by Kp-Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OkThatSmells 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 Who cares if anyone predicts a Wings first round exit. For that matter, who cares if Ken Hitchcock thinks the Wings are a good team. Opinions won't win cups. Opinions are worthless. As far as I'm concerned Detroit hasn't proven s*** this year. Now they can, and what they do from here on is all I'm concerned with.

Must Kill 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 well the wings have a very talented team, and deserve to win it, and the flames made it by losing there last 4 games i believe it was. also if i remember right, if the av would of beat the preds the game before the flames it would be a wings and av series.

OkThatSmells 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 I'd feel more comfortable with a Wings/Avs series. I do think we can and should knock off the Flames. Going all the way might be beyond this team though. I still just feel there's others out there that want it more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Must Kill 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 i would of loved an av and wings series too, a couple of my friends are from denver and are av fans, one if pulling for the preds cause he loves forsberg so im hopin the preds also fall short so i can bust his balls and tell him its not to late to jump on the wings bandwagon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice words Hitch! We need the optimism! What worries me is that everyone said the exact same thing about the Oilers series. And Calgary is perceived to be a lot better this year than what that Oiler team was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm getting tired of all of the people predicting another first round exit. seriously, why shouldn't they? until the wings win a playoff series again the media will rightly view their regular season accomplishments with skepticism. deal.
