Guest MrSandMan Report post Posted April 15, 2009 I certainly hope Wings don't come out flat. They've been flat for the past month. That being said, this is my opinion, Babcock has rattled more urgency from this team than Bowman did in some of the past first round games. I'm not a stat junkie, but has Babcock ever experienced a 1st round upset when coaching the Red Wings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: Babcock and the Wings had a 1st round upset in 05-06 against the Oilers (and the Oilers rallied on to the Finals and were beat in 7 by Carolina Hurricanes) Edited April 15, 2009 by MrSandMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) He talks about the '06 Red Wings like they were the only #1 seed to ever lose to a #8 seed. Get over it Clement, that was '06, this is '09. We don't have Leagace between the pipes to collapse on us. Also, the critics always bring up the '06 Wings. Always, every year.

zaxx 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) As much as I am not a fan of the guy the upset chance has me worried. From something like 1997 - 2007 one of the #2 seeds (in the east of west) was upset each year by the #7 seed. It is a cause for concern and our boys better not take any chances. (read this on kuklas) I should add that the fact that Clement claims that Hitchcock is the best coash in the NHL playoffs marks him for a know nothing fool. Hitchcock is a great coach but he has not won the cup in a long time. Just some food for thought. Edited April 15, 2009 by zaxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincanni 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 Bill Clement picked the Wings to win the cup in '06 when we lost in the first round to Edmonton, when everyone was expecting us to choke yet again. He was actually the only television analyst I recall picking us that year which I personally watched. So 1. He doesn't have some secret agenda to put down the Wings, and 2. He's inaccurate, don't worry its just one opinion and it isn't like we don't have a semi recent history of flubbing in the 1st round against a hot goalie and last I checked Columbus has a pretty good guy between the pipes on their end.

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 Well, he did pick against the Pittsburgh Crosbys so I think it's more a rejection of consensus rather than the Wings. I think both these teams will make it all the way so I guess you could say he's just trying to spite me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hokike 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 hey forumites!!! Do you have to be ultratouchy about everything not according to your taste? Last checked, it is not a crime to pick somebody but Red Wings, rrrright???? Doubters have every right to doubt 'til proved otherwise. Thats why they play games.
