Running out of gas?

[Guest bullocks]

Anaheim doesn't dominate the play in some situations like San Jose did. I don't think San Jose flopped, i think the wings figured out what needed to be done to shut down SJ. They need to shift gears and figure out how to shut down Anaheim. I bet the wings take one and lose one at both the game in ahaheim and then take the next two games to kill the series in 6 just like they did the last series. The wings are a very adaptive team and they can learn this anaheim team.

i agree with that...there was times that san jose had us trapped in our zone and kept cycling the puck and we were absolutely helpless...not the same with anaheim tho..

Well first post from me here on this board but I think the Wings are the Scariest team in the NHL almost every year and especially this year. Capable of playing any style from quicks to hits and being a Duck fan for nearly 10 years they are not the team you want to have face in the playoffs ever. All of the wishy washy talk of they might be getting tired or running out of gas, I hope the Red Wings believe that because this series scares the hell out of me. The play in the neutral zone last night from the Wings especially late in the game was sick and exactly how the neutral zone should be played IMO, against the Ducks. We are tough to beat in Anaheim, but the only team I think that can give problems to the Ducks are playing tomorrow night in Anaheim. I'll be there and will be very obnoxious at the game to any Wing fan in the building the whole game from beginning to end while supporting my team. However I have been reading your boards for quite some time and respect what you guys and gals do on these boards for the most part for your team. I don't expect any royal treatment but I wouldn't mind it if I could post on these boards objectively in the future without being flamed too bad by Wings fans. We are all Hockey fans in the long run right?

All right, but for every objective post, you have to pay me $5 and do 20 jumping jacks.

Just messin', welcome aboard! :beerbuddy:

Welcome to the boards! Of course you can stick around these boards! It's fans like you from opposing teams that are needed here! You seem like one heck of a fan, and very classy as well.
