NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 I dunno - Detroit is yet to achieve anything. Hence, their lack of celebration. Well, they achieved something Nashville didn't. Of course its not the end goal, but there's no reason not to throw a quick congrats to the Wings. They turned the series around when they needed to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DyingAlive 27 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 I think its appropriate to celebrate for today. It was a hard fought series, come tomorrow or the day after it'll be time to prepare for the next round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteLightning91 105 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Most important thing about closing out the series today; NO INJURIES! Rest up, boys. I bet Babs will give them the day off tomorrow and they will be back at it Tuesday. Bring on the Flames/Dives!

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 I've said this before: This Team that was born in 2007 is not Yzermans' team. They have nothing to celebrate yet. People are wrongly associating them with Yzerman's team. This team hasn't faltered in the playoffs until the Conference Finals last year. They haven't been stopped by a hot goalie, defeating Kipper, Nabakov, and Ellis and nearly beating Giguere. This team knows, even if the media doesn't, that they are expected to go much farther. But it's still awesome. On to the next round! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 It's definitely good to see that we found a way to win against a hot goalie and that we in turn were able to ice a goalie who kept it shut even tighter. That's big. I think they'll keep this momentum going and bring a better game to round 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I think everyone--Babcock included--can enjoy for today getting through to the second! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doggy 130 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 C'mon, Doggy. Nobody's satisfied with just getting past the first round. But I think everyone--Babcock included--can enjoy for today getting through to the second! Sorry I don't want to be negative. I'm pleased we're through and I like this clubs chances but I can't get too excited about getting through the first round. As far as I'm concerned it's just not an achievement.

Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 I must say that I am releaved!! I live here in Tennessee, and I would have to move if we didn't win this series!!

I'm having a big dinner and going to watch the next to games and go to work tired/hopefully hungover/very excited in the morning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozen-Man 144 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Awesome we've achieved more than Nashville. Bring on the ticker tape parade. The Wings have done okay but how much celebrating do you think Mike Babcock's doing? They made it to the second round, they have no new injuries. They did it in six games and they posted a shutout while only allowing 1 goal in the final 8 periods (great momentum). We also achieved more than 22 other teams have this year. We got goals from ten different players with multiple goals from 6 of those players. We got 5 points in six games from Datsyuk, Hudler, and Kronvall and a point from all but 4 players. Granted they have a long way to go and lots of hard in order to reach the ultimate prize but there is nothing with a contgrats for accomplishing what 73% of the other teams couldn't. WAY TO GO BOYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!! Edited April 21, 2008 by Frozen-Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
