webwing91 4 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 My God! I can't believe I missed the game of the season! I had a final this morning that I just failed and told myself all night (stayed up studying) not to check the game, or the score until after the test. I came on here dreading a loss, but this may be worse (but not really)! Man I am so glad they won, and so mad I missed the game for some stupid class.

spaMgobLiN 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) why do you have it out to beat us now, the mentality of screw the cup i just wanna beat this team has always been mind boggling to me A couple of reasons because dtriot red wings have been a beast of a franchise. I dont ahve anything bad to say about them, you guys do it the right way. BUT there what goes up must come down and the sharks have their best team ever and have only made it to the WCF finals 1 freaking time in their 16 or 17 year history. I guess in another way think of it like this.. Red Wings are the yankee's of the NHL. I know the last few years there has been first round disappointments for your team but BOO FREAKING HOO you guys have won like 10 stanley cups? I dont want to hear it lol. I guess you can say im jealous, but I am tired of seeing the redwings atop of the standing's every year. That would also make me a 'hater' lol, you know what so be it.. I'm tired of the redwings success and I was soo frustrated lastnight I wouldnt fall asleep. I need to stop watching sports. By the way as a sharks fan, I still do not think the sharks have what it takes to win it all. Just beat the dreaded red wings and get swpet in the next round would be good enough for me honestly.

Bannedforlife 403 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 Exactly. I want the Wings to win the Cup! At the moment, the Sharks are in the way. I don't know, that game pretty much made the playoffs for me. The only way it could have been better is if it was game 7 of the SCF. Holy crap, I've been watching the highlights ALL MORNING LONG!!! I'll admit that I was doubting near the end (who wouldn't being down 2-1 against the Sharks) but I never gave up, as evidenced by the fact that I didn't leave the sports bar during the final minute, even though it was full of Sharks fans! I think that was the best part, being in Sharks territory and being the only one cheering after it was all over! Everything after this is just icing on the cake for me, GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!

Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 The Yankees of the NHL always kills me. Especially since now there is a salary cap and a level playing field. Even before that when we had a bunch of free agents who WANTED to come play for us, we werent giving them free money, a lot of that money came from our own players who deferred portions of their own salary.

Not because of the money. true that!, I'm aware of the salary cap in the NHL and the yankees can pick and choose anyone they want with pretty much no salary cap. and I know players WANT to go to detriot, because it gives them a chance to have success. I understand all of that mess. I hate the red wings because you're good. ;P Blunt enough for you? hehe I hate the predator's because of their fans and they play dirty AT TIMES. I think they have some outstanding players though. I like Karyia, Weber, Hartnell, Suter and Radulov I think all these guys are very skilled and fun to watch!

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 Ron called out the Sharks? What did he say? Was this after or during the game? We blew the game in the last minute. Some people have to take a good look in the mirror why they were in the position they were in on the ice - cheating on the offensive side of things when the other team has pulled their goalie. If you get on the right side of the puck, nothing bad happens and you don't have to worry about overtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puertoricanWingsfan 5 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 the wings are good year in and year out, but they are NOT the Yankees of hockey. Gimme a freakin break. The Yankees are always good because they have the most money in a sport where there is no salaray cap, and they throw their money around to buy the flavor of the year to up their skill level. Once they're done, they throw 'em to the curb and purchase the next big name. The championships that they win are BOUGHT. Yes, they actually win the games, but c'mon. If anyone else had their money, they'd give 'em a run for their money. The Red Wings don't win cuz they buy the flavor of the year. They win because they're good, and they're good because a number of reasons. Many of our best players have been on the team for years. Don't hate us cuz we're good. I'm not saying you have to like us, but PLEASE don't compare us to the Stankees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Yea we'll just see about that! ;P and i'll be crossing your ass out if it turns out to be the truth. (dont kill me) At this point I dont care if the sharks get swept in the WCF, as long as they beat the redwings I will be extremely happy. Someone's still cranky about last nights loss. Too Bad.

WingFanInStarLand 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 I don't want to be a downer after an incredible, heart-filled, thrilling Game 4 victory which has everybody on the site on cloud 9, but..... 2004: Game 4 @ CGY was our best of the series. We showed, grit, determination and will in gutting out a 4-2 victory, with dandenault (I think) picking up the GWG in the 3rd). 2006: Game 4 @ EDM was our best game of the series. Lidstrom and Z with two huge 3rd period goals to even the series and send us homee.... 2007: Game 4 @ SJ was our best game of the series. Unrelenting work ethic ties up the game late (weird to say with Lang) and a great OT win. NOW.... Each of these series has followed up with a saturday afternoon homegame on network TV... and in the first two series, we played OUR WORST GAMES OF EACH SERIES. I mean absolutely pathetic, lethargic, inexcusable Lions-esque efforts. GARBAGE. Babcock better be showing tapes of those Game 5s on the flight back...or this ecstasy will be all-for-not (Yes I know we're 3-0 in NBC home games this year) This outcome better be differnet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really hope your right...and I hope the guys remember the disappointing efforts they put forth in the games that followed those great victories. Doing that will motivate them to play the same way, which will lead to a win! Yes, this team is different this year...but we all thought those teams still looked really good after Game 4 in each series Play the same way, and we'll be awfully tough to beat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment, the Sharks are in the way. because there are two types of people in the world... red wings fans, and red wing "haters". my buddy is a kings fan, who was rooting for the flames, and now is rooting for the sharks. basically whoever the wings are playing... a true "hater". why else do you think everyone outside of JLA chants "red wings suck" at the games?... haters, i tell ya... every last stinkin' one of them.
