2/28 GDT: Red Wings 0 at Predators 8

[Electrophile 3,554]

i predict 16 wins in a row in the -playoffs after losijng the first 4 and getting our heads out of our asses

If we lose the first 4 games in the playoffs, there are no more playoffs.

Ron mentioned Lilja trying to fight to Don and he just went off hahaha... now he is just going on and it's kinda funny he's trying to make Ron admit that his wife said at a Wings' game that no one wanted to watch "European hockey". Anyway.... he's just talking about how there is no blue collar workhorses or sandpaper and it's hard to care about the team.

Yeah, can't say I disagree. I'd like to see a veteran steady d-man come in. Nothing flashy. No big name. Just someone to push our 5-6 guys a little bit. Jamie Macounish.......

A question here. Not sure whether MacLean or mcCrimmon is the D coach so I apologize for my ignorance.

However, whichever one it is, do "we" think he could be gone?

It's McCrimmon, and since McClellen (Sp) left look what happened. Our "D" sucks and San Jose is the top team in the West. I personally think that it must take a while for a new coach and the players to build a rapport and get to know each other's strengths, etc, but it's getting a little late now. Our "D" needs some serious work on the basics, and they are not playing with confidence in front of Ozzie, just as they did to Hasek when Hasek sucked at this time last year.

this poses a dilemma then

[I Red Wings I 40]

Though it does beg the question, if people in Detroit genuinely don't care about hockey/the Wings why did supposedly over a million of them show up for the Cup parade?

Easy, it's free

He's still comparing apples to oranges, particularly in a place that's been hit so hard with the economic situation. Hockey already has to compete with all three other major north american sports in Detroit, and if I'm getting tight on cash and really eager to go watch a sports event, I'm probably looking to go to a baseball or football game. Red Wings tickets are pretty damn cheap, especially compared to here in Vancouver, but you can still get baseball tickets for much cheaper.

Take it from me then, I used to (still am in a way) a huge Red Wings fan. I use to base my life around their games, travel from T.O. to Detroit to watch games. This year I have trouble tuning into a game whether we're up 2-1, 5-0, down 0-6, it doesn't really matter, this hockey doesn't appeal to me. I may be a minority on these boards but I know I am not alone. I have nothing against the players (except a few) individually it's a unit as a whole that disgusts me. I have no reason to have anything against the team aside from them being incredibly unentertaining. This happened over time from me watching games... it's not a money issue whatsoever. Again, I am just 1 fan speaking my mind here but I know there are many others who feel the same way. I grew up loving a certain style of hockey, this style is NOTHING like that.

A few thoughts on my end regarding tonight's games:

-It's games like these when the fairweather fans are revealed. They become very visible, as they can't tolerate the team playing one bad game. They need success all the time.

-The Wings have played a lot of games in the last couple of weeks. They're obviously very tired; they're just not moving very quickly, and Nashville is beating them to a lot of pucks as a result. Presumably the fatigue is bringing on a lot of of the unforced errors, as well.

-Sometimes lots of bad bounces happen in the same game.

-Then again, it's REALLY games like these when the fairweather fans are revealed, because they just can't handle all of this.

Carry on.

Fairweather???

No no no no thats way to nice the word your looking for is RETARDED

[EuroTwin 240]

Shut out shut out shut out shut out.

In other news, I may have waffles for dinner...

[VM1138 1,921]

Brace yourselves, everyone. Wings are about to score 15 goals in 15 minutes. Mark my words.

[greenrebellion 415]

That was the joke.

[Shaman 713]

Where were those fans during the year and playoffs? Why was the Joe empty? It's a friggen Stanley Cup Parade, who wouldn't go? I'd go to a Toronto Blue Jays parade if they won the <insert baseball trophy here> and I don't give 2 s***s about them. It's a social event, a friggen' parade...it's not hockey.

[Guest Four]

SHUTOUTTTTTTTTT

[Pskov Wings Fan 71]

How about scoring one goal before the end?

[Electrophile 3,554]

I bet it would blow their assholes out if we came back to win this game.

That's what I'm saying: We can do this guys! One goal is all we need to spark the comeback!
