GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Columbus for one reason only. 7:00/7:30 P.M. start times for away games. Exactly, but if the league had the brains to move this team East, we wouldn't have this problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then I would only see them once every two years! I want the Wings to stay in the West - way more competitive and better hockey IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim3033 1 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Bring on the Colorado Avalanche! WOOOO I'm hoping we don't get a western canadian team. Those teams do anything to win come playoff time. Nashville or Columbus would be boring. I'm betting Phoenix wont make it in. Bryzgalov can't do it all. Anaheim wont come in eighth place. St. Louis wont make it in. Our luck we will get a canadian team and have to pray every game not to get a major injury. Remember when we played Edmonton a few years ago and in game 3 (we were up 2 games to 0) we were heavily outplaying them in the first and that net came off the bearings a lot and then they went as far as to bring out a new net stopping play for several minutes. Then they said something was wrong with the glass and delayed the game for a while in the first. That stuff was totally ridiculous! Needless to say the momentum shifted and we lost the next 4. The end of that game 4 or 5 against Calgary last year was totally ridiculous too. I don't quite remember the details but the sportsmanship was horrible. The American teams usually play fair though cheap shots are known to occur(Prinkles=Pronger). Also you gotta worry about funky reffing against certain teams. I don't remember any outrageous reffing or cheapshots against Colorado, minus the Lemiux thing. It was always good solid hockey. Of course there was that brawl but fights are normal and players agree to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're just afraid of playing another Western Canadian team to have to listen to those homer CBC announcers. I don't think I can go through with them again this year.

vangvace 12 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 St. Louis, Chicago, Nashville, and Columbus would be nice for travel purposes. Columbus scares me though because of possible hot goalie issues. Phoenix also scares me because of the hot goalie situation. Plus they're a cupless sunbelt team... They're seeming to be forming up to be the team of destiny this year. Whoever they face though... it'll be a dogfight regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
