kylee 727 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 The Wings landed a solid punch to the Ducks in Game 3, and now we have them on the ropes - don't let 'em off for a second! This is a perfect opportunity to land a devastating blow and take a commanding lead in the series. Based on their play thus far, the Wings will capitalize in Game 4. I think the Wings will win tonight in convincing fashion! QFT! i think what happened in game 3 is going to make a huge difference in the entire series. boy, if the Wings take care of business of the Ducks tonight without Pronger, the Wings could take this series in 5 games (don't think ANYONE predicted that to happen) but first things first boys ! lets go! come on Hank GO BOBBY!

Stevie Y. 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 I think it'll be a tight one as Anaheim is really going to buckle down defensively. I look for them to clog the middle of the ice and I don't think we'll many, if any at all, long cross ice passes directly leading to goals like in game 3. I'll go 3-1 Wings. Detroit: Zetterberg, Lidstrom, Cleary (empty net) Anaheim: McDonald Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevie19 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 I never predict games, because I'm always wrong, but the good news is that I've yet to be wrong when presicting a series. I said Wings in 5 from the get go, and I stand by it! We'll kick them when they're down tonight, and then have a nice home victory and celebration for game 5! GO WINGS!!!

wingsfan40 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 I'm really pumped for tonights game. I think without Pronger the Ducks will lose confidence and we will end up with another big win. Go Wings Go !!! Oh and if Dom keeps playing the way he has been then I'll be happy too...what a hero at this stage of the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yemack 1 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Wings don't usually let the chance go by them. We usually come out very strong and very poised when delivering a knockout/critical blow. Altough Ducks aren't easy foe by any stretch, the absence of Pronger will hurt them. This goon has been standing on blue line in game 1 & 2 and been neutralizing our attack into their zone countless times. (we did managed to dump the puck and go past him in game 3) Plus he has been a force during powerplay. I have a very good feeling Wings will come out on top, it will take a lot of effort, sacrifice, and smart hockey but I expect to hear good news by the end of day. Now I'm off to start my pre game rituals GO WINGS! Edited May 18, 2007 by Yemack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Covenant 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 Wow, I love the positive vibe I'm feeling from the GDT today! Ducks come out quacking, get a quick 2-0 lead. Dom bashes own head against wall in intermission-- shuts the door from then on. Wings roar back in the 2nd (when don't they, right?) and take it running away. Giggy pulled for the second consecutive game, Wings 5, Ducks 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dicksmack 33 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 I hope the veteran presence on this team can lead us in capitalizing on this great opportunity! We take this game and we've got 'em... I look forward to seeing how the Wings will exploit the absence of Pronger... Wings should have much less trouble penetrating the zone, they should have a hard time clearing guys away from the front of the net. We can't let up at all! GO WINGS!

hiuDUCKSfan 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 I wish the Wings would underestimate the Ducks as much as 90% of this board is. It's do or die time for the Ducks and I expect the veterans to come out hard and the young guys to feed off of their energy. There is no way the Ducks can play as bad as they did in game 3 and it will be interesting to see the pairings we put out there to make up for the loss of Pronger. I would expect to see a lot of Scott N. This is where he needs to step up and prove why he is a Norris finalist. I am nervous about this game but I don't think it will be 17-0 like a lot of you seem to think it will be. Here's to a great and clean game 4! Go Ducks!

Kira 451 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 The best way to take care of Prongerless Ducks is to hit them where it will hurt the most. On the scoreboard. That said, I hope we can keep the momentum that we had the other night. Ten steps up the ladder. Six to go. It's getting closer and closer. I'm feeling awfully good about this run.

CrossCheck24 2 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) OK here is what they have to do: A.) Be patent, play our game at the start. B.) Wear down R. Niedermier (sp?) hit him, make him skate, and take long shifts C.) Make Ric Jackman look stupid, Zetterberg, Flip, and Dats need to take him 1v1 and turn him inside out. With these 3 things along with the usual shut down D we are good to go. Repeat!!! 4-0 - Zetterberg, Flip, Bert, Lidstrom (in that order) EDIT: Im too excited to form coherent sentences Edited May 18, 2007 by CrossCheck24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
