stevie for president 42 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 Does anyone else find it Ironic that 3 years ago only Cujo looked like he came to play and it was really aggrivating as a detroit fan, and now in this series Calgary had to know how that feels because Kipper is the only one that came to play.

RedLightGoesOn 81 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 What is really ironic is this.... Flames sent Franzen a message in Game 5... (at least thats what some think) Franzen sent them one in Game 6 : "Game Over" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph 240 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 Not only that but Calgary knocked us off in OT of Game 6 that year. Good point. I just remembered the way my stomach sank when that happened. It only makes it sweeter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted April 23, 2007 Good point. I just remembered the way my stomach sank when that happened. It only makes it sweeter. Yeah, every other time the CBC play-by-play guy said something, I kept reliving "Gelinas scores!!!!" Agh. Cujo came to play in game 6. Not otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 I think the most frustrating thing out of the series in 04 was that there was no reason at all that Detroit should have lost that series, based on the level of talent on that team. Not to take anything away from Kiprusoff, because he was unreal. But when you have a bench consisting of Yzerman, Lidstrom, Shanahan, Hull, Datsyuk, Holmstrom, Zetterberg, Draper (who won the Selke that year)... Detroit should have buried Calgary that year. Shoulda coulda woulda though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 Right before the game started I looked over to my sis and Dad and said: "You know what would be GREAT? This game goes to double OT and we eliminate them like they did us in 2004. That would be perfect." and what do ya know! The hockey gods listened! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VladyIBELIEVE16 257 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 I was thinking that the whole time. I wanted to even the score from 04. I'm so glad we did it and IN THEIR BUILDING.. FINALLY.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(at least thats what some think) Franzen sent them one in Game 6 : "Game Over" Overhead on ESPNews: "...And after that save by Hasek, they would need a second overtime. Who wants to be a hero? Who else? Johan Franzen! Stick to the gut? STICK THIS! The Red Wings move on to the second round, the Flames go home." I hope Calgary's stickwork is as good on the golf course as it is on the ice. I don't think Iginla will appreciate McLellan slashing him in the gut when he gets a double bogey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asmith18 3 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 This year is defintiely different, the makeup of the team is different too. There always some ironies like the past couple years, the team that has beat the Wings haven't won the cup. I'm relieved we beat Calgary, but the Wings still have another hump to get over. GO WINGS!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
