Original-Six 254 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 4) If we lose in the first round, I'd rather lose to the Hawks than put up with "Sharks finally climb out of the first round on Detroit's back" nonsense that will play endlessly. We already have to put up with giving Crosby the cup, I don't want to put up with the Sharks either. Let Calgary be the Sharks patsy. i would rather the Wings get swept by the sharks than lose to Chicago. All those bandwagon fans would cream their pants and never let you hear the end of it.

Every team who meet Detroit during the playoffs will be scared..i'm sure about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 4) If we lose in the first round, I'd rather lose to the Hawks than put up with "Sharks finally climb out of the first round on Detroit's back" nonsense that will play endlessly. We already have to put up with giving Crosby the cup, I don't want to put up with the Sharks either. Let Calgary be the Sharks patsy. But if we lose to the Hawks it will be all about how "the torch has been passed" and how they are the new Wings, Keith is the new Lidstrom and so on. Although I guess there's no scenario in which a playoff exit doesn't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I'd like this team to just make the friggen playoffs first. Then can start getting finicky about who to play. Edited March 8, 2010 by Shoreline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivalred 630 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) With the Wings just getting healthy, we need time to get our chemistry together and win while making the playoffs... The last 2-3 games I see as the beginning of a new, but very short season. With that being said, Wings need to get 4th or 5th place. Them playing Chicago, San Jose, or Vancouver will not result in a good 1st round. Yes, they are able to advance 2nd round, but by then, they may hit the wall.

Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 I'm not too worried about who we play right away because eventually we're gonna have to face the best anyway. If the Red Wings get this figured out, they can beat anyone. If they remain inconsistent, we won't see the second round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theophany 110 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 Sharks. We own them, and besides if we lose, they don't have as many annoying fans as Chicago and Vancouver that would never let us hear the end of it. The kind of trolling we would see from opposing fans would be astronomical. s***, I finally agree with something you've posted. The world is ending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 The best part is: if the Wings beat one of them, they probably get to see two of them. Or even all three by the time the WC final comes. The team I would choose wears teal and used to play in the Cow Palace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SweWings 45 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 As long as Detroit makes the playoffs I think a lot of people will be surprised. I'd prefer San Jose just because their top players aren't exactly big game players - take the Olympics as a recent example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 I hope we run into all three of them in the playoffs, that way there are no doubters that the Wings are truly the best when Lids is raising the cup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Secret 304 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Since I don't think we will be going very far if we do make the play offs I want for us to be the team that hands Chicago a 1st round upset and spoil the season for them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Would anyone agree that with the playoffs, Wings fans have basically two expectations if we're honest with ourselves? 1. The Wings won't make it out of the first or second round. 2. If they survive the second round, we expect them to win the cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Doesn't matter to me. I just want to get in. This team has shown they can beat the top teams in the conference if they play their game and play close to 60 minutes as possible. It's just a matter if they can do it enough times to win 4 games.

Chairman Maouth 97 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Don't care about it! We are Detroit! SJ,Chicago,Vancouver bla bla bla...please ask to Sharks,Hawks & Canucks fans if they want to play against Red Wings in the playoffs! I would. I'd gladly take the Wings over the Sharks or Hawks. And no disrespect meant to the Wings, but I'm not sure they can get far based on reputation alone. They really need to start lighting it up before I change my opinion. This year, the Detroit offense just isn't producing. Stats for goals allowed and goals scored are equal. And as far as goaltending in the playoffs goes, it remains to be seen if there are any more rabbits left to pull out of that hat. I don't think Howard has ever played an NHL playoff game. Not an ideal situation when heading into the playoffs with a struggling offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Pending we make it in... The Canucks. I don't agree with the San Jose playoff choke thing this year. With their coach working his second season, we'll see what impact he's truly had on the team. I'm worried about the Sharks the most. Chicago, I'm beginning to think that Quennville is going to eventually have to beat us once, it's just an odds thing. However, the other night was a good demonstration that their goaltending is shaky at best this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
