here's hoping the whole game doesn't look like this from Hasek's perspective. Notice the refs and their whistles are absent as usual in this pic.

For real! And if they do make some calls, they usually add up to a Ducks PP. <_< How can that be when you're simply protecting your goaltender?!

It won't surprise me (or anyone else here, really) if such things go "unnoticed" again tonight -- how was this not goalie interference? :crazy: Can you imagine the weeping and wailing if a Wing did this to Giggy and got away with it??

Anyway, Go Red Wings!! You can overcome all of this and be victorious!!! Hoo-rah!!! :clap:

Actually I'm hoping that the reffing is good. I'm pretty sure everyone (not just Detroit fans) will agree that Wings vs Sens is a MUCH better matchup than Ducks vs Sens, and maybe the bias will be in our favor to increase tv ratings for the finals. But then again, Bettman would love to see the cup go to a less popular city to spread popularity. But c'mon. I honestly don't think Anaheim has a prayer at winning the cup this year. The cup is waiting on Detroit or Ottawa.

Keys to winning tonight:

Special Teams

Stay out of the freakin' penalty box----though it's hard to do with these refs

Score first----let them play catch-up

Resolve----Just keep peppering the net

Dom has to be big again....no flukies. :siren:

oh good a smile, I was getting worried that I'd be kicked off the boards even before the game starts

I know how serious people get with these things

Meh, I really don't think it sends any bad mojo until the game is underway, and Dom is playing his mind out! Although when the stupid announcer says it halfway through, and then says "I don't believe it is bad luck" that annoys me. I forget who said that during the last game, (one of the TSN announcers) but I was ready to rip his heart out through the screen. Other than that, no seriousness at all!!! :P

Edit: oh and yes, Chelios is freakin sweet!

Ducks 17, Red Wings 1

Playing with a scant, 7 man roster by the second period, the depleted Red Wings fall to the Ducks as Anaheim advances to the Stanley Cup Finals. After a quick start, the Wings lost momentum quickly as they suffered a staggering array of injuries just seconds apart during a stretch of the first period. Goalie Dominik Hasek was the first to go down, injuring both groins and both thighs as he went down to make a save on a shot by Ducks forward Teemu Selanne. Hasek reported hearing, "four, distinct snapping sounds" after attempting the kick save. 11 broken hands, herniated discs and concussions later, the Wings were left with only 7 skaters.

The Ducks showed much more discipline than the Red Wings, who committed 35 penalties. The Ducks were not penalized during the game. Although Detroit coach Mike Babcock complained about the officiating throughout the game, referee Don Koharski rejected any idea of favoritism. "I call 'em like I see 'em," Koharski was heard saying to Babcock. "OK, I hate Swedes, but other than that, I have no problem with your team. Well, OK, I hate the Red Wings, but that's not why I'm calling penalties on you guys. I mean, it might have had something to do with a few of them. But not all of them. OK, I hate you and everyone on your team, but at least 3 of those were legit penalties, so STOP COMPLAINING, please."

Mike Babcock appeared at the podium during the postgame press conference looking so out of sorts that at first he was questioned by VS network executives what he was doing behind the mic. Some time during the course of the game, Babcock had lost most of his hair and grown a dated looking mustache. He was unable to explain the change in appearance, nor the disaster his team had endured on the ice. "Tonight, we didn't do the things you need to do to win a hockey game. When your best players go down with injuries, you're not putting yourself in position to win a game of hockey. Tonight, we lost 11 players to injuries in gruesome fashion in a span of about 4 minutes. When your goalie snaps all of the connective tissue in the lower half of his body making a save, you're not giving yourself much of a chance to win a hockey game. Our entire roster collapsed in a heap of injuries resembling a M*A*S*H unit and we lost a game of hockey." Reports that Babcock then stumbled around aimlessly asking, "Where's Chara?" could not be confirmed.

Sights and sounds from the game:

- Ducks GM Brian Burke was seen watching the game from his suite with several guests. The guests were reportedly all wearing Grand Rapids Griffins jerseys, the Red Wings' AHL affiliate, bearing the number 52. Each guest held up a sign reading, "BURK RULZ HOLLAND SUX!1! HAHAHAH HEY HOLLEND PARROS PWNS U SOFT EUROS!!11! U SUCK!!1 HAHAHA"

- Before the game, Ken Holland was asked what he liked best about forward Henrik Zetterberg. "Hank? Oh, that's easy. His eyes [swoon]."

- Asked what he though the Red Wings need to do in the upcoming season to reach their goal of winning a Stanley Cup, center Robert Lang offered a candid view. "I think, first of all, we need to not work as hard. I mean, why do we skate 45 second shifts? This is much too long, I feel. I would prefer to just skate out when I feel rested and then not have to skate too fast. This is very tiring, you see. And also, I think less defense. Backchecking makes me exhausted! And what do we have to show for it? I would prefer to see me in more of a 'floating' role. I'm at my best when I'm well rested. Also, what about a TV and some comfortable chairs for the bench? When we're not on the ice, why not enjoy a good movie? And what about some snacks? I like those little cocktail weiners and there's NOTHING like a good artichoke dip. I just think there's a lot of room for improvement."

- Reports that Jiri Hudler approached coach Mike Babcock during the 2nd period and asked him, "Is it my turn? YET?!" could not be confirmed.

If we interfere with Giggy , and got away with it ... and then we won , Carlyle would be crying to the media "How is that not goalie interference ?" "I Cant beleieve there getting away with it"

Heres a tip Randy , go watch the games and see what your bunch of goons ( The ducks other Selanne are all a bunch of goons) do to Dom every day.

It annoys me how many IWTG penalties and Interence penalties the ducks get away with
