TSN: Wings were "manhandled" by Ducks last yr

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

This just in! TSN hates the Red Wings because Detroit is called hockeytown, and most of their players are European.

Real shocking news, right?

Come on guys, what do you expect out of TSN?

Not to mention we have the third most amount of cups, and are in the USA.

Plus they are still pissed Toronto sucks and will for the foreseable future so it looks like the Wings will pass them up soon.

Plus the are just ***.

It's amazing to me how people have forgotten how close we were to winning that series--up 1-0 in the pivotal game 5 in the last minute. Hanging on would have forced the Ducks to beat us twice in a row, with us holding the momentum of having won 3 of 4 against them.

As for the Canadian thing, I do think that it has at least a little to do with the fact that (regardless of the Stanley Cup count), we've probably eclipsed Toronto as the second-most storied NHL franchise in the minds of most, thanks to things like the recency factor (like it or not, a Cup in 2002 outweighs one from 1967) and possibly the fact that we have more transcendant-type players in our history. I've actually heard discussion on whether Mats Sundin is the greatest Leaf ever. Not a knock on Sundin at all, but that's not on the table when you're rolling Howe (arguably the best player ever), Sawchuk (arguably the best goalie ever, and not in his Leafs tenure), etc.

We won game 3 5-0.

And we lost 5-3 in Game 4.

Ya i know i heard that too ... lool i was laughing my ass off ... considering we were the only challenge to the ducks lol ... last time i checked we were the only team to have one 2 games against them

I think TSN journalist mismatch with the 2003 series... we were so flat then...

Last year we were not far to win the series.. with better goaltending the cup was ours

Dats and Zett are on a new level this year

and we have a second line, which was definitely not the case last year... Franzen is just crazy.

We are going to win the cup.

All you can do is laugh at this

I thought we outshot and put more pressure on them than they did to us by fairly large margin.

Manhandled.. lol yeah. Just say you didn't watch the series.. or you hate Wings.

Only the Detroit Red Wings can win the President's Trophy to become the top seed in the NHL and still be the underdog throughout the playoffs.

You are forgetting having the best defense in the league and having the best line in the NHL. And Chris Osgood's only competitor in numbers is Marc-Andre Fleury, Franzen leads scoring, Kronwall tied with most points for a D-man..... Should I keep going?

Screw them.

They said it again today. I just laugh, they definately didnt watch the series. Were Anaheim more physical, yes. Were we physical, yes. Did they manhandle us? No. That series was decided by injuries, lack of PP goals as opposed to Anaheim getting powerplay goals, and bounces going one way and not the other. Credit Anaheim yes, but we could've beaten them easily.

Actually the more flaws of ours they point out, the happier I am, because most, if not all of last years flaws have been patched up.
