haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) The shame of it all was that I actually LIKED Giggy back in '03...this was before I realized WHY he was stopping every puck (Michelin Man). I still think Selanne's return will result in that "shot in the arm" like a new coach behind the bench (like Selfish Scott's return did), but following that, they'll fall back into mediocrity. All but three teams beneath the Ducks can easily overtake them with games in hand and that last losing streak of theirs didn't even help them keep pace, thus their need to play at least .600 hockey to even have a CHANCE. I like stats. But back to this game...our PP is anemic tonight. Again. Something needs to change with our special teams play before the postseason. Anaheim wins 3-0. Don't get me wrong, I would love for them to miss the playoffs. :fingers crossed: Edited February 6, 2008 by haroldsnepsts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 thus far tonight, I'd say the last thing Dom feels is lucky. Nope, he feels acrobatic and likely a bit tired too, since our guys apparently forgot how to play D. Wow, another penalty for Dats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 If not for Dom and the post, we'd be down by like 4 or more by now. Man, someone should tell Campbell and Bettman, that it is impossible to beat an NHL team and the referees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 there goes Dats to the box, again. I hope a different attitude comes back out on the ice in Wings sweaters in the 4rd, or it won't matter how many more goals the Wild get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, another penalty for Dats? there goes the Lady Byng, eh? I am more concerned about 1 goal in this game. Unless your goalie can pitch a shutout every game, that won't cut it. Can I say shutout now, since that ain't gonna happen? Wild have never lost when leading by 2, with Backstrom in net. Lovely.

RedWingsFanatic 4 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Well, all things considered, I will take a 2-1 score at this point. That was an incredibly uninspired, lackluster second period from the Wings. The entire defensive corps just seemed very frazzled and out-of-position. Hasek and the posts played well again, thankfully, or else this one would be much worse. Backstrom has never lost when leading after two periods, so let's change that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Nothing to do with the game, but Matt Stajan just fought Ruslan Salei, and won. Really strange fight, Leafs are losing 5-0, so good job by Stajan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
