BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Was at the game with my daughter, who is a huge Franzen fan. Of course, he scores two goals and gets the first star. Awesome! The Joe was electric and the people in our section were great. The Wings carried the play early, the Avs had it late. At the end of the day, a 1-0 series lead. We'll take it.

Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Lilja didn't play terrible, but he did not play great. I'm sick of his stupid penalites. I'll excuse the first one, because he was protecting our crease, but the second was just stupid. You could see it a mile away and there was no need for it. He does this every game. And I try so hard to love the Pain Train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 1,049 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 VS showed the scoreboard jumbotron and was that Al swinging the Octopus live or a pre-recorded Al? Not sure what the Versus broadcast showed, but Al didn't even come out to get the octopi that were thrown on the ice. Whoever the the big one after the national anthem had it extra sloppy... Al came out to the Zamboni entrance and then handed a shovel to a linesman -- to some pretty damn loud boos from the crowd. The booing pretty much went on during the whole affair, even to the point where the referee needed to get a scraper for the ice to get some of the "stuff" up. The eyes of the Joe were all on the zamboni entrance because as soon as that octopus was off the ice Al picked it up and swung it around in the entrance right there -- the crowd went nuts. He did it again late in the third period when another fan threw one on the ice when the faceoff was in the Detroit end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Wow what an awesome game, so intense. I hope we don't burn out Datsyuk and Zetterberg though because they play a ton of minutes tonight. I was disappointed Helm and McCarty played so little because IMO they provided a lot of spark when on. They might have been on the ice when the Avs scored the first goal but again they looked good together and provided a few scoring chances. Am I the only one who thought Chelios struggled a bit out there tonight? Samuelsson made a nice pass to Filppula who set up Franzen for a goal but otherwise #37 was hopeless. Such a fantastic playoff game. Osgood what a save! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawgs 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Detroit was dominant most of the time in this game. Thier forecheck was strong and the Avs had a hard time stopping the transition game. The Avs had little forecheck going besides the last couple shifts in the third and a couple shifts in the second. They were dangerous in transition. The Wings speed exposed what looked like a slow Colorado defense. The Avs have no answer for Datsyuk and Zetterberg. They were the best two players on the ice.
