The Avs are having a good year ya C.u.n.t

[Guest REDWINGS4LYFE]

we are a gritty blue collar team

[LondonWing 0]

Anyone seen Booth around? No talk of a sweep anymore?

A sweep is still possible

[Systemfel 33]

Also, Corey Perry is pathetic. What an absolute woman. "hey Pavel... tell Samuelsson he's gonna get it. You're gonna get it too." I must've missed what they got.

Perry was obviously talking about the 1-0 series lead.

Err, no, we're not. We're old and soft and the Fla...Shar...we're gonna get killed. Edited May 12, 2007 by Systemfel

I love your avatar. Do you have a full sized version or know where I can find it?

You bet. Snagged it from the Red Wings site, IIRC. Just check out the official site and go to the gallery... at least I THINK that's where I snagged it. Let me know if you can't find it.

Later,

Jeff

This has got to be one of the rare moments where post-game coverage actually includes the press conf with the coaches. Mike's looking good up there fielding the questions.

It's hilarious listening to that bottle cap twist and untwist on the mic though.

Good Win for the Wings!!!

Not the greatest game played by the Wings, but good enough to win!!

I love having Homer in front of that net!!

3 to go!!

Draperfan = on my ignore list

I must say, I thought Datsyuk played extremely well today, even mixing it up a little. IMO, he did basically whatever he wanted around Pronger today.

The only way Pronger could stop Dats was to illegally obstruct him. Strangely, he never got called for it.

7 to go

[YoungGuns1340 1]

I guess you watched an alternate version of the presser. The one I saw, Carlyle specifically said, "You have to give credit to the opposition, Hasek played well."

What I saw was:

"Hasek was good, but I thought we missed quite a few empty nets."

Welcome to the club. We have a proud, proud membership.

That pissed me off too.

"He's a good goalie. Had a couple good stops."

Let the airheads say what they want WE know who really gets the props of the game.

[WingsWingsWings 3]

See, let this be a lesson to Wings and their fans. Looks like Melrose might be right after all. The Wings have had it easy until now, but this stunning upset by the Ducks win tonight was all due to their size, speed, grit, and it's obvious that their will to win that is simply orders of magnitude beyond anything that the outclassed, outsized Wings could ever hope to conjure or match.

BTW, I couldn't get my network stream working, so I wasn't able to see or hear the game, but many thanks to the my brother-in-law in Anaheim, a Ducks fan who kept me updated with information on the Ducks 7-0 shutout victory in Game 1. With his descriptions I practically saw Pronger's five shorthanded goals, and felt like I was there on the ice myself. My condolences for the 8 Wings that had to be carried off on stretchers.

Oh. One last thing.

moohoohahaha.

I was so confused reading this at first!! Then I couldn't stop laughing!!! WELL DONE!!!

GO WINGS!!!

His comments seem so much more weighty when they're punctuated by "Skrid skrid skrid, floomp, whick."

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Didn't see what you did

You didn't see him turn the puck over with three minutes to go instead of chipping it out, and taking a lame hooking penalty as a result? I know you saw him in the box while the Ducks buzzed around our net. Try remembering a bit before then.

[edicius 3,269]

What I saw was:

"Hasek was good, but I thought we missed quite a few empty nets."

That's what I saw too. It was basically Carlyle saying, "Hasek got lucky."

[Barrie 900]

we are a gritty blue collar team

Yup .

The Puck Pocession work for a while, but with this group, we need to go with the grit.

Thank you sir, and I am proud to now be a member

Do you ever add anything of value here, or do you just like to make yourself sound stupid?

Isnt there another board you would rather go and join?

[puckbags 863]

If I was Anaheim I would be a little worried..they played a pretty good game and we were obviously a little off tonight..we can and will get better which is bad new for the Ducks. As for the people who are bashing some of our players...cmon celebrate the win!!!

[terri27 0]

A sweep is still possible

A sweep would be sweet but I just care that the Wings get 4 out of 7 to advance.

Bring that Cup home Boys!!

[Vincanni 1]

Well that was a great game, we ended up with one more point on the board but by no means does that mean we were the better team. As far as I'm concerned that game could have gone to a coin-flip. This should be a great series.

Also was it just me or when Perry was doing his whole "You're gonna get it" act it sounded like he was choking back emotions and it was interfering with his tone a bit. Nearly sounded like he was about to cry, I have a niece who does this, she's 8.
