StevieBoy 2 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Believe me...I think they had a strong season and did so much better than given credit for by most prior to the season or prior to each round of the playoffs. I love the Wings and am a huge fan. The statement that 'The Ducks didnt win that series they survived it' is true. But they survived because the Wings let them survive. Their play in the 3rd last night was unarguably beautiful. Bu they were sluggish and they underachieved through most of the 1st and 2nd. That is the same problem that got us knocked out early the last couple years. We made it much deeper this year. I understand that. But we went out earlier than we should have simply because of a lack of effort and sleeping through early periods. I'm not simply bashing the team for the sake of it. Teams lose all the time and I'm generally OK with it. When they lose due to uninspired effort, I get disappointed in what could have been. Yes, they earned some respect and yes thay have a strong future. But if this attitude cannot be overcome then all the talent in the world won't matter.
