FromItaly 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 I know it means nothing at all., but I guess we all could use a nice perspective: in all our three Cup runs, we split the first two games of the WCF. 1997 1. Detroit 1, @ Colorado 2 2. Detroit 4, @ Colorado 2 1998 1. Detroit 2, @ Dallas 0 2. Detroit 1, @ Dallas 3 2002 1. Colorado 3, @ Detroit 5 2. Colorado 4, @ Detroit 3 No reason why we couldn't do it again this year. Sorry if this has already been brought up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DBR 12 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 And also remember 2002 playoffs, we were down 0-2 against Vancouver and went on to win the cup. No worries! GO WINDS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets keep this way - vs Calgary 4-2, vs San Jose 4-2, vs Anaheim 4-2... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordie Howe hat trick 110 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 I must say that I am not worried about splitting at the Arrowhead Pond, or the Honda center or whatever the hell they are calling it now for the smple reason that I beleive hands down Canadian fans are louder, and louder more often than anything the Ducks fans can muster, and we did beat the Flames at the Saddledome. Also, how often is it really that you see teams going undefeated at home in the playoffs in any series? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry if this has already been brought up. 97, and 98 is pretty much useless because we started on the road. you can look back to 02' tho by splitting the first two at home and winning in 7. let's be realistic here tho, that ducks team is good. if we dont split in anaheim, were f***ed.

Nice to know but if it wasnt for a bad judgement call by the ref the Wings would be up 2-0 going to west coast in saying that it is a 7 game series and if the Wings play the way they can no worries Edited May 15, 2007 by DEVILSWATERBOY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrSandMan Report post Posted May 15, 2007 Also the split with SJ this yr. After that first 2-0 shut out, struggling in game 2 and game 3... then steam rolling off to victory. Remember how we all felt when we played the Sharks? I do. Ducks don't have more gas than the Sharks. Wait and see. If we can beat the Sharks at the Shark tank, we can beat the ducks at the slushy pond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now if it was a 3-2 game and the Wings had a goal called back lets say, then I'd be upset. But its not a big deal, we're not down going into Anaheim, its a tied series. True now they've got home ice advantage but I'm very very confident that we can take one from them, just as I was with San Jose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 An oddly enough we lost to the Ducks 4-3 in OT like we did in Game 2 against the Avs in '02. Good 'ol Drury with the winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 Enough bitching about the 3rd goal in for Anaheim. The puck on a goalie's chest doesn't constitute a frozen puck, the referee wasn't intending to blow the whistle (yet), it was a legit goal. They deserved to win game 2. Get over it, all of us. Anyways, also a nice looking trend is that in 1998 we were also down 2-1 to Phoenix and came back to win that series 4-2. :beerbuddy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
