Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 I would love if the Ducks didn't make the playoffs. Or better yet we beat them to get to the finals. Especially if they outplay us in the pinnacle game 5 but we walk away with the win. But whatever happens, St. Louis needs to at least get that 8th seed and let us whoop on them so we can get the cup already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Pardon me for going to sound like a jerk here, I'm not trying to get on the case of the original creator of this thread specifically, it's been a lot of others as well, but seriously what is the deal with all the Duck threads lately? I get it, they are hated on here. They are the defending champs. So what? Move on... Is there any other reason(s) why are we so focused on them? Because the amount of attention they are getting in this forum lately not just from the original poster of this thread, but from plenty of other people, is getting a wee bit ridiculous.

Because, maybe, their the only team that poses a real threat to the Wings, and are probably the Wings only true rivals right now? I don't understand why you seem to have a problem with almost every thread that appears on here anymore. There is only so much you can discuss with the Red Wings themselves. I see no problem with talking about other teams, but hey, that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just the Duck talk lately has gone off the deep end I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 If every team under Anaheim wins all there games in hand, Anaheim would be tied for 13th right now in the Western Conference. See, I knew this. And every time I see them in the standings, despite people's remarks of where they are in the standings ("They're only three points out of the division lead!" and so on), I look at the other teams and see what bad shape Anaheim is really in. They can't score. They NEED Selanne. And with their current record combined with other teams' games in hand, it could very well be too little too late. Additionally, with the games in hand that other teams underneath them have, Anaheim's really shooting themselves in the foot with this current five-game losing streak (1 point out of a possible 10). They're losing all the games they need to win to even keep pace with the teams underneath them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Canadian Wings Report post Posted February 2, 2008 One more quick tidbit. Scott Niedermayer has 0 points in the last 7 games He is only a minus player. Thank you and good night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) One more quick tidbit. Scott Niedermayer has 0 points in the last 7 games So much for that shot of offense... He is only a minus player. ...and defense. I may have been right in my earlier comparison of Niedermayer's return being akin to a new coach behind the bench - it gives the team a brief spark (their 6 or 7 game winning streak, however much that was), but after the shine wears off, the team falls back into mediocrity. I have a feeling the same thing may happen when Selanne finally gets on the ice, but the damage might already be too far gone. EDIT: And I'll be man enough to admit that I really, really enjoy seeing the Ducks struggle like this. Almost to the point of obsession. Sorry, Duck Guy. I like ya, just don't like your team.

I like ya, just don't like your team. i get that alot . I think the ducks should just put teemu on all the lines ya you heard me all of them. . They are not allowing ALOT of goals with a goal scorer in teemu they will be alright. Who will make his return sometime during their horrendous stretch of away games they are on now. And the pacific has been tight since the begining and i see it ending like that also. Oh well time will tell. i should just copy and paste this statement just in case anymore duck threads are made O.o. Oh and ducks need to make a good offer to Foppa !!!! Should just be a pinned topic... DUCKS! Edited February 2, 2008 by Duck Guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rice 42 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 It would be the best thing to happen to the Wings in a long time if the Ducks somehow managed to miss the playoffs. Chances are they won't miss out, but I can see it happening. There's a lot of pressure on them now (knock on wood). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should just be a pinned topic... DUCKS! You're probably right. We havent had any real fighters for years, and thus we haven't had any real rivalries in years. We tried hating Nashville, that was too easy. The Ducks beat us last year, a series a lot of Wings fans felt we could have won, and we're holding a grudge. The Ducks style completely contrasts with ours, and we need something to hate. Thanks for stepping up the plate and acquiring Chris Pronger...that always helps. I don't think there's a Detroit fan in the world who doesn't hate Chris Pronger. Edited February 2, 2008 by Hockeytown Red Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
