3/27 GDT: Islanders 2 at Red Wings 0

[ltgator333 3]

I can only respond to this paragraph. The major reason then was because we had the Russian Five. I believe, the best line in hockey to this day. They were a group art form. They were muscle and grace and finesse on ice. They made most opponents look like peewees. And I can't tell you how much I miss them. There really aren't words.

No no no, the Russian Five didn't need to use their bodies to shield the puck because they could pass better than about anyone, and get it done before it was necessary to shield the puck, normally. A lot of the rest of the team did though, I specificly remember Malts/Drapes doing it.

To be fair, I think Wings were favored for the calls last night. It seems the refs were giving the Wings "opportunities" to come back, but just couldn't finish. Bottom line, J.Mac played like a freaking MVP beast last night... Why did we let this kid go???

Out of all the loses this year, for some reason, this one stings the worse for me.

Hahahaha

1 fricking shoutout in his entire career and it's "why did we ever let this kid go"...

...this one stings the worst....

hahhaha

give me a frickin break.... You are telling me that this is such a big loss. A meaningless game to a non-playoff team when their best defenseman was a goalpost and you are ready to jomp off the ledge...

hahahhaa

I think it's time to realise that the parity level in the NHL this season has been beyond ridiculous...you can probably do a coin flip before alot of games, the outcome really is 50/50, everyone can win against anyone.... can't believe people saying "that's why it's so fun with NHL, every team can win and loose against anyone" go to the casinomachines, it's the same thing... ******* lottery.

And yeah, boston, detroit, san jose has had a bit more luck through out the season i guess.

mindfly, my friend, you have outdone even yourself.

How bout 2002. Remember that... They sucked the last 10 games of the season then lost the 2 first games in the playoffs.

Remember how that turned out? Stanley Cup.

All the negaitve post about regular season games on LGW are just stupid. The Wings are within a game of the Presidents Trophy and people are bitching every time they lose a regular season game.

Lighten up people. None of it counts until the playoffs start and we have the same team that won the cup last year.

geeeze

Oh ok so they haven't sucked bad before they got booted early either I suppose? And good anyway, now I am positive I'm not watching another game until Game 1.

This was not just another game. This was a game against a horrible team that would've near cemented home ice advantage ALL PLAYOFFS LONG. And they blew it and played as a team for 20 mins of 60. After they were already down 2, and the game's outcome was already ultimately decided. They got, and rightfully so, booed off the ice after 40.

I don't care to watch games like that, if I did I'd be an Senators fan. Or a Habs fan (cringe!).

Hardly. A win would have put them 1 game (2 points) up on the Sharkies and the Sharkies would have had a game in hand. The Wings have 8 games left and the Sharkies have 9. And you think a 2 point lead would have cemented home ice. You're kidding right? You think the Wings are going to go 8-0 in the last 8 games?

It was the f'n Islanders that was a 2 point gimmie! Hell no they weren't going to go 8-0 in their last 8, but now they're 0-1 to the worst team they could've played in their last 8. And mark my words- the sharks win their next game they will absolutely win the president's trophy. And gain home ice, all playoffs long.

Oh yeah- at least they could've tried to win and lost.

Fine, cut off your nose to spite your face. See if we give a damn.

No. That's not what I'm telling you at all. Nice try at spinning my OP though. However, you FAIL!

P.S. If you have A.D.D or any other mental disability that affects your reading comprehensions, then I sincerely apologize! Sometimes it's really hard to tell the difference.

Again, I don't know if you have a mental condition or just have a really bad learning disability or reading comprehension, but Wings only have 7 games left. Not 8 as you posted.

The real travesty is you thinking the real travesty is me thinking Diet Coke is a good drink. I can't drink regular pop (I'm giving away my Midwestern-ness, here), it gives me horrible acid reflux. So I have to drink Diet. Which I don't mind, I actually like it.

Other than water, the occasional Starbucks/Gloria Jeans and orange juice, Diet Coke is all I drink.

Diet Coke is horrid. If you want to go diet, go Pepsi. Much better diet drink.

If Detroit doesn't repeat, I'm blaming your addiction to Diet Coke as a reason.
