Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Ok ok i know we just lost and i know the whole every 33 year curse thing comes into mind but I will seriously be shocked if it even goes to 7 games simply based on one observation... We are the better team. lets just remember that folks. Both losses could have easily been wins, if not for a bonehead call that lost us all our momentum, and Turco having the game of his life. Realistically i belive we've won 4 and lost only one, and that one was todays game which can be attributed to a hot goalie. Idk, i just thought we needed some postive energy. Just remember, WE ARE THE BETTER TEAM AND AHVE DOMINATED THEM EVERY GAME EXCEPT ON THE SCOREBOARD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gordie_howe 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 The Wings did not dominate this game. They seemed to take things for granted, playing 'not to lose'. This is the real Stars team too. Game 6 should be a barn burner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted May 17, 2008 I think Wings players could use some desperation actually. Even us playing half heartadly garned almost a 2-1 one shots ratio and more hits and compeleltly dominated puck possesion and face offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 We're still up 3-2 and outshot them every game. Just keep outshooting them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted May 17, 2008 sounds like an excuse to me. How is that an excuse? I guarntee you if this game had beenn palyed in Dallas the Turco Chant would be on the whole game because he SINGLE HANDEDLY one them this game. For god sakes Dallas ahd like what? 3 shots in the third? we outplayed them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) We had a better team than just about every team we've lost to in the playoffs in the last 6 or 7 years. The more talented team doesn't always win. It's the hungriest team that wins. As far as hunger goes, the Wings look anorexic right now.

MississippiWing 14 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 playing 'not to lose'. I think you said it all there. We weren't playing to win, we were playing not to lose. We got the goal to tie it and just seemed content to sit back and let them try and beat us and guess what they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What happened earlier in the series can easily be washed away by what's happening now. At this point, we're getting it handed to us from a passion level. Shots on goal dont' matter if most of those are meaningless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Dallas outplayed us today, period. Generating chances and missing the net doesnt count for anything. We could have had 60 shots and would have only scored once because they kept us to the outside and our shots were very weak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 I have this to say, Ducks were the better team. Sharks were the better team... You guys are on the ropes, Dallas was playing the rope a dope to a tee. And the funny thing is you all bought in to it. Oh and Wing far from dominated the last two games, you need to open your eyes my friend. Dallas did what they had to do, its all butter from now on. Turco has broken the Joe jinx and now he will begin his undefeated streak in the Joe and game two notch on his belt will be played in four to six days. GO STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You think the Sharkies and Ducks were better than the Stars, yet the WINGS aren't? Hahaha. Nice one. Your immature posts are so great to read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KocursRightHand 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 If you're not worried, you're not paying attention. Once again, beating the Wings 4 in a row is not probable, but this team looks tired and slow all of a sudden. Part of it is that the Stars really are faster than they showed in games 1-3, but part is that guys like chelios, mac, malts, sammy, flip, and cleary are either done physically or tentative mentally. Now we get to see what this team is made of. Motown Musclemen or Swedish Meatballs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realistically i belive we've won 4 and lost only one, and that one was todays game which can be attributed to a hot goalie. Idk, i just thought we needed some postive energy. You really think Turco was unbelievable today? He made a couple good saves, but I don't remember ever really seeing one that made my jaw drop. We had a lot of shots on goal--as is par for the course--but by and large we didn't have great chances. Detroit just didn't bring it today. They didn't play with any intensity (apart from Drake I guess). Honestly, they played like a team that knows they only have to win 1 out of 3. But now it's 1 out of 2. Dallas has done a nice job on Z and D lately and our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines haven't stepped up at all. When we won the previous Cups, we got goals from everywhere. Brown, Kocur, Lapointe, Draper, McCarty....there's hardly been any of that in this run. It's been all Z, D, Franzen, and occasionally Hudler if we're on the PP.

Did he basically just imply that the Stars let the Wings get a 3-0 lead just so they'd get overconfident? I'm sure that's what it is. That's about as likely as Milbury's suggestion that they just now got over the 4 OT game.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outsider 42 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Detroit has looked awful the past two games. No intensity. They look like they're skating in slush. And they're more or less flipping the puck around the ice, rather than passing it. I've got a bad feeling about this Series. I'm not liking their chances going back to Dallas only up by a Game, and with ALL of the momentum and confidence in the wrong lockerroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
