BigShooter 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 I totally agree with this sentiment. The reality is that by general consensus the two best teams in the NHL are in the series this year, which doesn't happen that often. I just can't see us not giving up a game or two. But on the bright side, nothing worth having is easy, and the tension of a close series makes it better in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shockwave180 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 I've been supremely confident in this team all year, but anything can happen, especially in a sport where one bad bounce can change an entire series. I'm getting more and more nervous for tonight. Bring it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 20 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 I really don't see a lot of people counting out the Penguins. Everyone knows it was one game. Everyone knows Pittsburgh is going to be playing a lot harder tonight... Especially the Red Wings. Who cares what the fans think, as long as the team is in the right mindset.

If we win tonight I will feel a lot better personally, but we all know how Nashville had us at 2-2. Or else what? I've never heard of a team losing due to fan over-confidence. At worst, we'll all just look like idiots. And that's a risk I'm willing to take. Wings in 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why? Maybe the players need to make sure they do not get too cocky, but I don't see why I can't do whatever I want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you for some reason trying to protect us from disappointment, or are you attempting to protect yourself from being 'infected' by hope that could lead to disappointment on your end?

You should have been here when I got blasted for making a post about Dallas already being done after game 3. People were accusing me of being too optimistic. I was wondering where you were at that moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Do it! If I remember correctly, the last one like that was a lot of fun. Jerk. Seriously, though, if we win tonight, I will be heavily tempted. For instance, if we win again 4-0, it's probably going to be posted. However, I don't know if we'll ever get the same kind of intense, philosophical discussion that the last thread generated.

TheCaptain19 49 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 personally, to make myself NOT go to far after a win.. i just think of it as "at least we cant get swept". not because i dont think we can win, but because i dont want to think its in the bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) I don't think anyone has counted the Penguins out yet by any stretch, especially the guys playing the game. Maybe some people on here are slightly overconfident, but it's tough to blame them after such a convincing win in game one. I expect a much better effort from the Penguins tonight, and the Red Wings will have to match and/or better their intensity. Regardless, our cockiness level on LGW has no effect whatsoever on the series. Edited May 26, 2008 by GoWings1905 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zata40 3 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Having faith in your boys and not being pessimistic does not mean you're counting out the pens. The pens could beat us, yes. But do I chose to get absorbed in that thinking, no. I'm going to be looking at any situation with all the optimism I can muster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winsgnut_19 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 this thread was to the people who are talking about whats going to happen after the wings win the cup... having confidence in your team is fine... i believe i stated they were winning in 6... but i guess theres people on here who will find a way to disagree with what someone else writes in their threads anyways GO WINGS!!

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 By my count, the Wings already have 1 win. They need 4 to win, that doesnt seem like alot of "hockey left" too me . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
