TheDatsyukDangle 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 The breaks are even, the series is even. If we can't beat Pitt in a best of 3, we don't deserve to win the Cup. Let the fair weather fans *****, true Wings fans lets get it going for game 5. Wings in 6, mark it 8 dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zion 93 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 The Wings will NOT win at the igloo. That ice is HORRENDOUS, and they just are too gassed to get to those loose pucks at this point in the series. Wings in 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cirov19 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 This is what we live for? So we'll take the excitement; I still have faith that Detroit will pull through in six and NO DOUBT they will win game 5. No doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 If Pitts doesn't win it in 6, I think it'll take 7 for us to win. We need Dats to at least help on our end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yak19 303 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 WINGS WILL WIN THE CUP! It was a tougher battle against the Ducks and i think we took a night off, the Wings live for a challenge! Datsyuk will be back and the Wings will be flying next game for 60 minutes. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings in 7. The benefit we have now is that there is that extra day of break before we go back there. Hopefully it will do wonders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NHLrules? 32 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 You think Dats may have a concussion? Seems odd with all the skating and everything he is not cleared to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
helmster 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Wings in 7. We're not winning on their ice, and it'd be nice to see the boys raise the cup at home. Edited June 5, 2009 by helmster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Three nights ago, I had plans for us to be skating the Cup at this exact moment. Why? Their impressive turnover numbers and penalty kill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAWing 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 This is what we hoped wouldn't happen; that the Pens would seize momentum. It's getting tougher without Datsyuk, really need him out there for game 5. Then again, if we lose game 5 we don't deserve to win the Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsudzy 2 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Why am I a "fair weather fan" if I *****? I'm sorry, I think we have valid reasons for bitching. The Penguins didn't win the last 2 games, the Wings lost them. Poor quality play killed them. You can't pass to the penguins and expect them to hand it back because that's not what you meant to do. You can't shoot into someones shin pads and expect it to further. If the goalie has everything low blocked and you've just slapped it into his pads THREE times, it's probably not going in on the fourth try! These guys need to get their heads on straight, because I don't know what the hell they're thinking. The whole "game 4 was a must win for the pens, so our guys could just phone it in and rest up for game 5" s*** is insane. This is the cup final and every game is a must win FOR BOTH TEAMS. Sure, nothing to worry about! The pens need to beat us twice! Well guess what? We need to beat them twice, too. And the way these guuys are playing, that's not happening. So, yeah, I'm a little bitchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, yeah, I'm a little bitchy. I feel your pain. There is a difference between critiquing the team and players and taking the line that we suck and are doomed. Sadly, the two types of responses get blurred here. Plus, people just need to vent some times! I personally will take venting over the "stay positive at all accounts" point of view. It's a Detroit thing. Remember the old campaign to say nice things about Detroit? Gee, that worked out well didn't it? Nothing wrong with being able to call the issues and problems out. Perhaps if we bring up a problem, THEN offer a solution even the rose colored homer glasses types might be okay with it. For example. Problem: Homer sucks. Solution: Move him to the 4th line and tell him to grind it out and concentrate on D over O. Free up a skill guy to play with our top 6 boys and that might generate scoring.

xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 The Wings should win this in 6 games. Datsyuk will be back, it will give us an emotional lift at home. Then we'll have two days off before Game 6, so fatigue shouldn't be a problem anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you obviously have the reading comprehension of a young child then, if you didn't make any sense out of this. You are pretty cocky to post such an insult for just joining today. My suggestion: Get your self known and established here first before you decide to redicule someone on a post in which they made.

Guest Sid the Kid Report post Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Detroit looks like an old and tired team right now. It's clear that their age has a good bit to do with how they're playing. No coach or doctor will have a cure for getting "owned" by a younger and more skilled team. I'm very sorry. Edited June 5, 2009 by Sid the Kid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
