WCF Game 4 GDT: Stars 3, Red Wings 1

[FinWing 26]

here's to hoping the Stars' plane crashes on the way to the Joe.

here's to hoping those referees contract the bubonic plague and die the worst death in the history of Earth.

here's to the Wings in 5.

Karma.

[datsyukismyfriend 4]

this one's for hockeycrazy3033:

i'm confident the wings will take game five. and with healthy franzen (assuming he resumes his recent dominance or close to it) i'm confident we'll take the pens in six.

[Yak19 303]

alot of players seemed to have taken the night off, we could have still won though thats the positive here, a terrible call (what can you do but beat the crap out of a punching bag) cost us momentum which most likely would have won us the game, we move on, keep at it boys it will come.

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. I have to laugh about the fact that everyone admonished him for the first one but were fine with the second. What a terrible post, man.

Edit: Thanks FinWing. Someone finally stuck up for the poor refs. They weren't good but death?

If there's similar f***edupedness tomorrow night, I'd imagine that the NHL reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally wants to make sure NBC gets their game 5's on the air.

Too ugly

[Yak19 303]

Oh well, tough game to lose. However, after winning both games at home, I'm sure the goal was to split in Dallas, and we did. Winning both games would have been a bonus. Despite the goal being called off, I thought Dallas was the better team tonight, and deserved to win.

Sometimes when a team is on a roll like we were, you get a little lazy because things are always going your way. I don't want us to be lazy going into the Stanley Cup Finals. We'll be refocused, and ready to win the Western Conference Title at home on Saturday.

good stuff, i like the re-focused comment, agreed.

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really? You should write for Seinfeld or something. It was really funny.

Yea we still outshot them by a good amount. The puck didn't go in the net for us, and it went in for them, that's how it goes sometimes. No worries here, we're up 3-1 in the series, and Game 5 is at The Joe where Turco has never won a game.

We're still in complete control!

Our season is over. I'm going to go root for the Ducks now.

thanks, man. much appreciated.

First line of the recap reads...

Detroit’s goal with a guy barely in the crease, if at all, didn’t count. Dallas’ goal with a guy clearly in the crease did count.

Apparently, that’s what it takes to slow the mighty Red Wings.

At least we're not the only ones who get it.

[Yak19 303]

lol just good stuff right there, SPOT ON.

I quickly got over the game Billy Madison is on ENCORE!!!! lol

[Sgt. Angry 23]

Sorry, but being a "glass is half empty" kind of guy, I still keep thinking about that series a few years back in California, when the Wings were ahead 2 games to none, and had a two goal lead in the third period, when the wheels came off. They lost the game and the next three. So I'm always concerned about the Wings suddenly losing it. I was really hoping that they would stomp on their throats like they did to Colorado.

Agreed, I'm going to root for a team that's on the express way to success, come on Philly take me to the cup!

this is not even comparable, the manner in which dallas won was a joke, we outplayed them tonight, some guys didnt even show up with close to thier best performance and the refs and bettman carried the stars to a pathetic "win."

Different team, different year, and our two best players aren't injured.

[robat 13]

We are done for. I can't believe this is going to happen to us. The first team to lose after having a 3 game lead in 33 years.

Just kidding. I'm still ready to go to game 1 on Thursday at the latest.

What's stopping the referees from doing it again on Saturday? I'll continue being concerned until the series is over.

I'll me-too this post, or rather me-too it because a friend told me the exact same thing tonight.

Not that our lads were lazy: it looked to me like the real Stars showed up tonight. "Playing for pride," indeed.

(altho I shoulda known, the instant I learned O'Halloranwas reffing. Bet he's jagoff to video of Homer no-goal as we speak)

I'm disappointed about the no-sweep: but yanno, pre- 3-zip, all I was hoping for outta the Dallas games was a split, and we got that.

[edited because I said Devorski instead of O'Halloran, doh! Same diff, tho]

I have only one thing to say about this game.

Goaltender interference, my ass.
