desdave 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2008 I have an idea, and I hope you will all join in and see if it has a POSITIVE effect! How about we all try something different. Instead of seeing the worst of it (we are injured, not playing at top level, should have traded for _____ etc.) why dont we all will ourselves to think positive about the upcoming playoffs. ALL of your thoughts about what is happeneing, and about to happen MUST remain positive. I am here in Southern California, the weather is tremendous, and I have a sunny outlook on how things are going to turn out. I am a firm believer in the 'group mind' being super strong... if everyone is panicing/naysaying it could somehow rub off on the team and they can feel the (OK, here comes more California hippy-dippy for you...) bad vibes. So instead, lets be proud. Lets be encouraging. and Lets KNOW that the cup is ours. Lets make it happen on some kind of cosmic-mojo level! We ARE winning this friggen cup, its that simple. STAY POSITIVE, dont doubt what you know... which is, again, that we are WINNING the cup this year. If we all think it, and mean it, it will happen. Lets. Do. This.

But am not Jerry Garcia. ...he probably would like the Sharks (home team). But seriously, LSD or not, we ARE WINNING THE CUP! O. K. Dave in Ontario Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cern 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2008 Hasek will undertake highly experimental surgery to develop Terminator-esque groin muscles of steel, making him impervious to injury and therefore near-invincible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted March 22, 2008 I guess Jerry Garcia is alive, and is a Red Wings fan. It's typical of you to show up in a 'let's be positive' thread like this and make a smart-assed comment instead of making a positive comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Austin yeah, and he would also have that really cool soundtrack when he used his bionic powers I think he has another shining season left in his tank.

jim3033 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2008 I think these matchups would make for an exciting cup run. 1st round Detroit vs. Colorado 2nd round Detroit vs. Dallas 3rd round Detroit vs. San Jose 4th round Detroit vs. Montreal Calgary vs. Minnesota and Anaheim vs. Dallas would be really interesting in the 1st round.

DaKineMaui 8 Report post Posted March 22, 2008 4th round Detroit vs. Montreal I would take 2 weeks off and kick my family out of the house. I would pre-pay my cable bill for the year and get 2 dishes installed. 5000w Honda generator would be on standby next to 100 gallons of fuel. Phones unplugged. Cells off. Water main shut off - too close to the electronics. Fridge rolled out into the frontroom. Shhhhhhh........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
