TheCapt19 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2009 The jacked up NHL schedule could actually help the Wings if they take advantage of Game #1. I know the Pens are more experienced. But, if Lids plays his game, Dats gets back and Hossa continues, the back-to-back games may help us by giving Pens less than 24 hrs to regroup. Come back out and punch them in the throat again Sunday, and we're back to the 2-0 lead like we had last year. I think we just need to come out balls to the walls and win Game #1 with authority.

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted May 29, 2009 Yeah, both Holland and Babcock have complained about the schedule changing and the back to back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzermania 156 Report post Posted May 29, 2009 I agree that it could help. Everyone is making a bigger deal out of it than it is. Sure we only get two days off, but the pens only get 3 days off. I don't view one day of rest that crucial with the calibur of team we have here. The back-to-back thing is the bigger stinger, but that is the same for both teams. If we're gonna win the series, we'll do it regardless of how the schedule plays out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted May 29, 2009 If we win game 1 and were not injured it helps. Whoever wins game 1 it really helps out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted May 29, 2009 I don't really sit Pittsburgh as getting an extra day of rest. They have to travel to Detroit. No matter how short the trip is, it's still a huge pain in the ass to pack and go and get there and unpack, etc... The bigger issue, as mentioned, is the douleheader - so to speak.

TheCapt19 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2009 @Made in Hockeytown: I was referring to as in comparison to last year... On that note, I still think that they are not well-rounded to recover in less than 24 hrs from a old fashion horse whoopin' if the Wings bring it like they can. Then it is too big a hole to come out of, having to be us 4 of the next 5 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we're gonna win the series, we'll do it regardless of how the schedule plays out. It's the combo of the two that really blows. 2 days off (not as fresh to begin with) followed by back to back. SUX!!! So it isn't quite the same for both teams. You'd be amazed at what that extra (3 days off) before a series will do for yer legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
