Firehawk 305 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 Anybody know? It seems once they get teams to that point, they finish them off. I'd love to know this stat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livediehockey80 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 Mixed record when the Wings face elimination themselves. I don't think the Wings faced elimination in one playoff round during the 1997 and 1998 playoffs: that's how dominate they were back then. 1999: 0-1 (Loss to Avs in 2nd round) 2000: 0-1 (Ditto) 2001: 0-1 (Big Choke Job against the LA Kings in first round) 2002: 1-0 (Beat the Avs in 7 in Conference Finals) 2003: 0-1 (Anaheim) 2005: 0-1 (Calgary) 2006: 0-1 (Edmonton) Wings are 1-6 when they are in a game elimination situation themselves.

Firehawk 305 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) I said when THEIR OPPOSITION is facing elimination...so in essence, when the wings get 3 wins against a team, the following game what is the red wing's record? Edited May 8, 2007 by Firehawk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aarond 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 The only games (since 97) that I can think of that the Wings have lost when they had a chance to eliminate their opponent are the following: 1997 conference finals vs. Colorado: Wings led series 3-1, got routed 6-0. 1998 conference semifinals vs. St. Lous: Wings led series 3-1, lost 3-2, or maybe it was 3-1. Can't recall exactly 1998 conference finals vs. Dallas: Wings led series 3-1, lost in OT I can't think of any other times the Wings have lost in that type of situation. By my calculation, the Wings have won 16 playoff series since the start of the 96-97 season. So if I am correct about those being the only games they’ve lost when having an opponent on the brink, that would mean their record is 16-3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livediehockey80 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 Sorry about that. Um...the record is pretty good since 1997. Usually when the Wings get 3 games in a series...they close the door for good. My numbers come to 14-3 when the Wings are knocking on eliminating their opponents. 14-3 is pretty damn good in my books.

I believe the Wings were 2-0 in 2002 since Colorado was leading 3-2. Detroit faced elimination the next 2 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firehawk 305 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 Sorry about that. Um...the record is pretty good since 1997. Usually when the Wings get 3 games in a series...they close the door for good. My numbers come to 14-3 when the Wings are knocking on eliminating their opponents. 14-3 is pretty damn good in my books. This is why I wanted to mention it. 14-3 is DAMN good for not giving teams a second chance. I'm also figuring it out right now but so far I've got 11-2 and i have 3 more years to look at. Ok so I went through 04 because 2005 was lockout right? Can't remember right now lol, and we lost to Edmonton in 6 last year so no chance to knock an opponent out. So Here's what I get: 1997 - 4-0 1998 - 2-2 1999 - Never had chance 2000 - 1-0 2001 - Never had chance 2002 - 4-0 2003 - Never had chance 2004 - 1-0 Total: 12-2. Now that's phenomenal when you think about it. This number means that the wings are 12-2 when they first get an opponent to face elimination. This means the wings do not let a team hang around very much and deliver the knockout punch immediately. Now you take into account this year, and the wings are 13-2 thus far. That's VERY IMPRESSIVE. And that spells doom for SJ tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that spells doom for SJ tonight! It's actually even better than 12-2. In 1998, they weren't 2-2. They were 4-2, since they won all four rounds. IN 99, they swept the Ducks in the first round before losing to Colorado in round 2. So they're record that year was 1-0. btw-in 97, they lost game 5 to the Avs when they had them down 3-1 in the series. Edited May 8, 2007 by aarond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livediehockey80 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 That's right. I under-counted by 2 wins. The Wings are 16-3 in elimination games since 1997. Me thinks the Sharks are in deep s***. It's actually even better than 12-2. In 1998, they weren't 2-2. They were 4-2, since they won all four rounds. IN 99, they swept the Ducks in the first round before losing to Colorado in round 2.

I asked about the FIRST OPPORTUNITY for the wings to eliminate a team, THAT stat. So in 98, they were 2-2. They were 4-2 if you include 2nd chance opportunities...but that's not what I asked originally. Anyways, my point for starting this thread was to kind of give people confidence about tonight. The wings are money when they get someone against the wall. Edited May 8, 2007 by Firehawk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
