beauty of a pass by hossa

[Dabura 12,232]

I don't think he froze that.

[EuroTwin 240]

GET. OFF. PAVEL.

[Nightfall 871]

Hossa is backchecking pretty well. I am happy to see that.

FIRST, yes - we played a horrible period of hockey. But let's not underestimate the team we're playing against. What you're seeing right now is what I honestly believe are the two best teams in the NHL head-to-head. Whoever wins this series is going to win the Cup, mark my words.

SECOND, people going on about us having more hits need to stop. We had over double the amount of hits last game, too. That's the problem with this team in terms of physicality. It's not that we CAN'T be physical.. it's that when we up our physical presence against a physical team (Anaheim), we lose our focus on scoring. I've seen it countless times throughout the year. We are a FINESSE team. Not a PHYSICAL team. No matter how much that pisses some people off, that's the way it is. Suck it up and deal with it. Everything would NOT be peachy keen if we had someone to drop the gloves skating around the ice. Realize that.

THIRD, we're down by ONE people. ONE. Not five. Not twelve. One. We saw proof last game that we CAN step it up when we really want to - we just aren't. By the way some of you are acting, you'd think we just got swept.

Chill out.

RIGHT ON.

Have the Wings applied any pressure on Hiller? Like I can think of one, but the shot went wide, so I guess that doesn't count.

Kidding, finally some pressure!

Wha??? Again... Post 741. Stop copying me!!! You think yours sounds better because you use more capital letters? Oh alright fine. But I'm still better at answering my own questions. Babs would be proud of me.

Hiller shutout. Shutout for Hiller. He will NEVER let in a goal!

Hiller isn't even that great. Look at him fumble that easy shot. Take advantage of him, guys.

Selanne...

is beating to many Wings off of the puck.

[Wingsallwin 0]

Crappy passing play

[Never_Retire_Steve 35]

Dats & Z reunited?

[Dabura 12,232]

The Ducks are absolutely swarming.

I'm hoping they burn themselves out.

[aflac9262 211]

How many damn faceoffs are we gonna lose?

[Vincanni 1]

Hoooly crosscheck on Cleary.

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

When will it be realized by the wings staff that Ducks are pretty easily shutting down every one of the Wings lines. Try changing it up.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

this is kinda starting to look like the Calgary series from a couple years ago.

The Wings seem content to let things to come them instead of going out and getting those things.

This isn't like 2007 where the Ducks just outplayed Detroit.

The Wings clearly aren't going into this with any killer instinct.

[EuroTwin 240]

Who the hell was that pass to?

[Dabura 12,232]

The ice is obviously s***.

[Wingsallwin 0]

Dats & Z reunited?

Unless Babcock is not drunk anymore, never happen.

p.s)) Franzen is horrible tonight

[Never_Retire_Steve 35]

is beating to many Wings off of the puck.

It would be a real shame if Kronwall or Stuart were to lay him out.

WTF is up with the ******* giveaways????

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

I am pretty sure we don't want Perry out there against Maltby.

[Chris L 0]

well stats wise we're stepping up.

shots 4-1 for us this period, faceoffs are 15 a peice for the whole game.

Let's hope it pays off.

[puckloo39 5,686]

How many damn faceoffs are we gonna lose?

50% of them (at the moment).
