Bad Vlad Forever 1 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Did anyone else notice that Anaheim did a particularly good job, especially early in the game yesterday, of shutting the Wings down in the neutral zone? This is how Edmonton stopped us last year.I was getting frustrated that the Wings couldn't set up a play while crossing the blue line. We just had to dump and chase. Their defensemen and centers were on every pass we made between the blue lines, at least initially. I hope the Wings are able to shake them loose for the next game, and get some odd man rushes going.

Bryguy 103 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 Except wings had great, i mean great chances. To put the game away, against edmonton they were getting garbage shots off the boards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Vlad Forever 1 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 Oh, I agree. We had our chances to put it away. Empty netter that missed comes to mind, I forget who, but someone rang Giguere's post, etc... I know sometimes your only play is to dump and chase, but it was just a little more prevalent yesterday than it had been in awhile for me, and I commend our Wings for completely outplaying them for 59 minutes yesterday. Unfortunately, it only takes a minute... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad Vlad Forever 1 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 I really really hope so Mostly because I'll be there, and I still have a sour taste in my mouth of being at the pond during Wings/Ducks playoff series of 03 Hopefully we can stick it to Giguere again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
