wingsin4 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 Detroit had 27 giveaways, the Sharks had 5, you figure it out. Combine that with SJ's 15 or so blocked shots. Blocked shots seem to be a real problem for the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 Is anyone else not worried at all? As HC said, this game totally felt like a regular season game. Even when SJ scored it didn't hurt that bad. For some reason I have no worry going into Game 2. Worried? Hardly I have a wife on bedrest until she has our kid in a couple months. This is hardly even stress inducing comparatively. However, I'll be pretty sure about which way this series is going to go by the end of the 1st period on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 i haven't given up on him by any means. but i am getting tired of him. we need seriously to stop shooting from the point right into opposing players bodies and he is our most frequent offender (other than maybe sammy ) but please don't put words into my mouth. Sorry buddy didn't want to make it seem like I put words in your mouth. My bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drw1319 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 Yeah I'm not worried yet either. They didnt show me in any way that they are unbeatable. I am just a little frustrated becuase if we would have brought our"A" game we would be up 1-0 on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason I have no worry going into Game 2. Not worried at all either. This series just feels so weird and I don't know why. It didn't at ALL feel like a playoff game to me and that is odd because this series is suppose to be the most scary, and very nerve wrecking. But yeah not worried at all. Damn was the game BORING!

wingsin4 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 i really hate the trap and i can't stand teams that play it. I know this is going to be viewed as overt homerism but as a hockey fan in general i have zero desire to pay a couple days earnings to go watch a game were one team gets ahead by a few goals and then simple stays back in there zone and plays foozeball all night. Granted the wings power play was unearthly awful but seriously the trap has to go if we're to attract new fans. I realize that just reeks of sour grapes after being beaten but i just don't think it should have a place in the NHL. This would be why i cheer for a team like Detroit who's know for having good puck postion then a team like jersey or the wild. Every year in the playoffs same damn dog and pony show,...trap trap trap. Bad thing is the trap has gotten the Wings booted last couple of years. Teams know if they can score first, Detroit (usually) cant beat the trap. Simple fix--score early and often. :idea: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defenseman13 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 While a win is a win is a win, I don't think there's any true Sharks fan that feels 100% comfortable with this win. Not in a best of 7 series. The fact that we couldn't sustain an attack through the last two periods makes me wonder if this is a sign of things to come. Sure, the Joe to Carle pass was a beauty, and the Grier goal was a heads up play... but Hasek was all OVER the puck, as was Nabby (the best Shark by far tonight). The one element missing was really physical play, and if the Wings bring that along with avoiding penalties, who knows. Lots of hockey left! Good luck to all!

Sadly it happened at the end of the National Anthem: Click to play video.... there is so much history in that cephalopod, it really upsets me that Vs. makes no mention of it. If you go to the Wings team site, there's a whole page dedicated to the history of the octopus, and apparently the record breaking size and weight thrown got no media coverage as well.

Mikeal 60 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 That was the most boring game everrrr I have 3rd row 1,3 detroit shooting end seats for game 2. It is a 8 hour drive for me to get to detroit.

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 We were at the game too!!!! That was a HUGE octopus too!!! It probably scared that poor anthem singer!! thats awesome!!!! I saw the guy running down the asle and as soon as he whipped it out (god knows where he kept that sucker) it took him a bit heft it over the glass. That thing was HUGE and I can just imagine how much was invested in that toss (Cost per pound and ticket price for a seat you won't get to sit in at all) The octipus and the cheers really did throw her off her groove.

I guess inteligence and debate are at a minimum around here.Oh, well... recap is in the same category as post game..... For some reason this game got no emotion out of me.... I just sat and tentatively watched the rest of the game, even going into the final half of the third..... I agree with many people here, after this game I am not worried, nor angry, nor disappointed.... it's weird..... Probably due to the fact that we played like crap as far as giveaways are concerned but still seemed to control the game in the last two periods..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 Another recap from those in attendance... The loudest moment at the Joe tonight. 2nd intermission when Al's ride along was a current Army soldier.... He drew loud cheers and a standing ovation! Oh yeah and they had a raffle for those in attendance who got their red on. They gave away various signed items from various players on the team. My number was not called, I am skeptical if it was actually in the hopper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually had a new topic called " game recap" that got deleted by the mighy of this board... maybe considered too negative? Sometimes the truth hurts... We didn't control anything , they just trapped us the rest of the game and that's all it took. It kind of reminded me of the '95 finals against the Devils.After that Bowman decided to master the trap, and he did... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airborn 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 Regarding the PP, we need to try some different approaches other than get the puck to the point and shoot into the traffic. Case and point - the play where Lids snuck down, and Scheids passed/shot the puck to him for the one-timer. Had that been on net, it was a goal. Right now, we're too predictable, and it's making it easy for the PK unit to defend us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
