Roz 2 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 Woo boy! I worked up a sweat jumping around and fist pumping after that GWG. Jeeze. Two things I would like to point out: 1. Did anyone see Cleary after the second goal? They did a shot of the bench and everyone was psyched obviously, but Cleary was jumping up and down in absolute glee. He is LOVING this. And I am loving that he is busting every second of every shift. 2. These hooking/holding calls are getting a little ridiculous. I know they want to get it out of the game, but when a stick rests on a pant leg for a second, and progress isn't impeded, why is a call necessary? I dunno.

servo 15 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 I haven't read through any of this thread yet so a lot of the stuff you'll see here has likely already been mentioned many times. First off, Dominek Hasek. Unreal. He absolutely stole this game. How huge was the glove save on Penner? I LOVE YOU DOMINATOR. Zetterberg and Datsyuk were all over the ice tonight, they both had amazing games. I was honestly a bit skeptical that our top line would be able to generate offense against Pronger and Niedermayer, but boy did those two show up tonight. Hopefully we can expect more of the same in the rest of the series. Our PP looked great out there, even without Schnieds on the point. I thought Samuelsson had a great game at the point. PK was great as usual, I loved that huge block by Lilja in the first while on the PK. Bertuzzi looked pretty good out there tonight I thought, he used his body a lot more and he generated a couple scoring chances. There's still a lot of room for improvement though, but if he ever gets back into full form then watch out. We'll need some secondary scoring going forward in this series so hopefully Bertuzzi and Calder can get something going. All that aside now, great way to kick off the series. Reffing was brutal, but I'm glad we fought through it. Let's hope for a similar result on Sunday! Perfect post! Dead on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sister and I were cracking up at how excited he got. Nice to see that kind of emotion. That said, I am getting sick of hearing some players say that basically the only reason the Wings won was because of bounces. How about good defense? Good goaltending?

I think it was a pretty even game and the bounces did go the Red Wings way. There is no doubt about that. Your defense played great and so did your goalie but it came down to a couple of bounces that found the back of the net for you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted May 12, 2007 For all those saying we didn't deserve this win I just want to point out a lil fact. The puck crossed there goal line twice whereas it only got by Hasek Once. All that matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it is obviously true that the bounces did go the Wings way (thank God for that), but I guess I just get annoyed when players just use that as an excuse, when not just a few bounces win an entire game.... anyways, this game could have gone either way, making for a very interesting game 2.

I don't like excuses either. I think it was pretty balanced and the Wings did what it took to win the game. It will be fun series. I do think it's funny that you guys are predicting a sweep though.

(NHL.com) That's well said, with Giggy's quote. Those bounces don't happen unless the Wings crash the net. I give him credit for saying that. I don't like excuses either. I think it was pretty balanced and the Wings did what it took to win the game. It will be fun series. I do think it's funny that you guys are predicting a sweep though. Some people might, hopefully jokingly be predicting a sweep. But I think it is going to be far from it. This series is going to be long and hard fought.

Matt 1,048 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 I do think it's funny that you guys are predicting a sweep though.No rational, objective Red Wings fan would make that claim unless it was made in jest or as a silly retaliatory jab at Ducks fans that predicted a sweep the other way.
