PRE-GAME 3: (4/17) Red Wings @ Flames - 10:00 PM EDT

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Aggghhhh!!!! :scared: It has just occured to me that the Red WIng game might be blocked where I live with the Cancuks game being on. Nooooo!!! I may have to go find a pub ... but I have an exam in the morning. This is some cruel joke.

Has anyone watched any of the games so far on the CBC web feed? Because the CBC scheduel is covering the Wings game, (except in BC) so perhaps I could get it online.

Or any other online source ... I live in Canada so I dont think I can use Yahoo. Anyone have any idea's?

Soooo excited/nervous for this game, should be awesome playoff hockey! I reckon the wings willl come out flying again. If bert plays, I think sammy would be better off sitting, partly because that fourth line has played so well recently, and if we can continuosly roll four lines and keep up our game, then like dom said, what can they do??

GO WINGS!! :siren::siren::siren:

I am super nervous for this game, because Calgary is awesome at home and kipper has been having well. But as long as the Wings came make it through the first 10 minutes (as Calgary's fans should have the team fired up). An early goal would also be nice, to silence the crowd. :thumbup:

I tried reading through all 5 pages....forgive me if I missed the answer to my question....

For Center Ice people not in Metro Detroit (or MI)....

Since it's the second game of the night in versus...Do we run the risk of joining the game in progress? And if so can I get the CBC or FSND feed on Center Ice????

Thus far I have been forced to watch on NBC or Versus as my CI has not picked up a CBC or FSND feed for this series.

LET'S GO RED WINGS.....LET'S GO RED WINGS.....LET'S GO RED WINGS.....

edit: grammar

Awesome GDT as usual Aflac. I just want to see the guys coming out with the same effort they have in the first 2 games, and there should be no worries. The Flames seem to be a bit relaxed now that they're on home ice, so maybe that will work to the Wings advantage as well tonight. Hopefully no one on the team gets hurt, and we come away with this series being 3-0.

One thing I was thinking about though watching the last game, Babs should really seperate Lazy and Sammy. Those 2 being on the same line is just a disaster waiting to happen IMO. Calder is the only one that seems like he does anything productive when that line is out there. I see Calder going for a puck, and Lang is just kindof standing there watching, frustrates me to no end.

Let's Go Red Wings :siren:

Let's see:

1. Nerves already kicking for Game 3: CHECK

2. 5 1/2 hours after work to waste until gametime: CHECK

3. 10 beers in the fridge: CHECK

4. ability to nap to waste time? NOPE, see #1.

5. XBox Live hockey? possibility

6. XBox Live baseball? CHECK, great game.

7. 2 1/2 hours to waste @ work? CHECK

Apologies all around, I'm freaking nervous, and I only have you LGW'ers to vent to! :P As a sidenote, CalgaryPuck.com is a great board as well!

Haha, i feel you man. 2 more hours to waste at work (can't nap because i'm nervious so i keep checking this and other sites)

Sure hope the Wings win and put the Flames in a chokehold. Hopefully Zetter will break out for 2 goals tonight with one great individual play and great setup from Pavel on the other.

Guys, I monopolized Bob on the phone today (even though HoH kept butting in from across the room), and we got the problem diagnosed. What is it that's been hampering Robert Lang all season long, and has been on him two games into the playoffs?

Performance anxiety, pure and simple. The same thing that may not help a guy "be there" when he's needed the most... it's happening to Bobby, here, because he's loved us so much and he wants only to please us all. Offsides was talking about Lang pulling up a clutch goal soon--I think he's able to get there. He's close people: I know, because he turned down an offer for a McD's card in the mail.

So it looks like all he needs is some love. Some love and reassurance that is so crucial to helping him get his confidence back. If he can get this.. he can start skating, quit the burgers, and light it up soon.

So for my part of Langer-love, I'm dedicating this one to you, sir. An "Ode to Lang" to the tune of the Plain White T's 'Hey there Delilah':

--

Hey there Lang-O

What's it like in Calgary City?

I'm a thousand miles away

But girl tonight you look so pretty

Yes you do

Time Square can't shine as bright as you

I swear it's true

Hey there Bobby

Don't you worry about the distance

I'm right there if you get lazy

Give this song another listen

Close your eyes

Listen to my voice it's my disguise

I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me

Hey there Mister No-Effort

I know times are getting hard

But just believe me girl

Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar

We'll have it good

We'll have the life we knew we would

My word is good

Hey there Jim-Bob

I've got so much left to say

If every simple song I wrote to you

Would take your breath away

I'd write it all

Even more in (brotherly) love with me you'd fall

We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far

But they've got planes and trains and cars

I'd walk to you if I had no other way

Our friends would all make fun of us

and we'll just laugh along because we know

That none of them have felt this way

#20 I can promise you

That by the time we get through

The world will never ever be the same

And you're to blame for your awesome game

Hey there Delilah

You be good and don't you miss me

Two more years and you'll be done with school

And I'll be making history like I do

You know it's all because of you

We can do whatever we want to

Hey there Delilah here's to you

This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me.

Wings 11 - Flames 1

Hudler (5), Datsyuk (4), Zetterberg (2)

being serious though, i think we NEED to win tonight. If we don't the pressure goes back on us.

Like I said last time, the first goal is going to be critical. We all saw how they completely broke down when Dats lasered the first one into the net. I think if the Flames score first, they'll get really physical and fend us off for the rest of the game. Go Wings, be hungry!

And what's with Babs keeping Bertuzzi out? It's almost as if he's aggrevating a bull inside his pen before setting it loose with his "I'm not convinced yet."

Just 11? Do the flames get more than 15 shots? They are at home ... Perhaps 20.

Wow, it IS just like that. They are poking him with a sharp stick with a Flames' logo on it.

God do I hope that is the case. Of course I want Dats to contniue to be hot tonight. I'd like Z to get one. (its funny, it has only been two games back, but I'm like ... come on Z, you can do it!) But on top of them, I'd like to see Bert and his line really have a solid game ... Couple big hits, a goal, maybe even a whole meal of food. And the 4th line, I've been so impressed (as with most ppl) especially with Filp. Keep it up guys.

I'm hoping for a split here, and all signs point to this being the game we drop which sucks because I want to win this one more than anything.

Flames: 3

Wings: 2

Wings out shoot Calgary 2 to 1 and roar back in the 3rd just to fall painfully short.

re: Flip-Check... "Mister No-Effort" :D you are so bad.

Flames will be a bit hungier tonight, and perhaps so embarrassed that they actually show up. Look out, Wings! I think our guys will be prepared for anything, they certainly sound like it in interviews. I wish Bert was playing. Maybe I will get a nice surprise when the puck drops tonight...

Good Luck tonight boys, can't listen in to this one will be earning a buck!!

come out hard and fast like the first 2 games catch them off guard and

hopefully get them on the back foot at home early on. take the crowd out of the

game and were halfway there . LGRW.

Again this is about momentum. Wings need to score the first goal early to take the crowd out of the game. This is a must win, a 3-0 seriesputs the flames on the verge of going out. Play Bert, his presence on the ice will defintely be big. This is all winnable, the Wings just have to know how to get things done and get them done. I think Hasek will become the Dominator tonight. Wings will win 2-0

And if by seperating them you mean... Benching Sammy.... I am all for that :D

No score prediction, as usual, but I'll say what I always do; it's worked so far. The Wings aren't going to get complacent and know they have to work for a win. With the way they've been dominating the Flames I have a hard time beleiving a change in scenery will do all that much (knock on wood). The Wings come out hard again and it's important they take an early lead to quiet the fans.
