So put on your Hawks jersey if we draw Chicago. I'm not afraid of the Hawks. Last time I checked the Wings beat them last matchup in an entertaining fast-paced game, Quenneville is 5-16 vs. the Wings in the playoffs, and we beat them 4-1 last year. The Hawks are much improved this year but they are shaky in goal and they also have the Hossa curse going against them.

I'd prefer that the Wings not meet the Blackhawks in the first round because I think it would be a great series for 2nd or WCF, but right now I'd take the Wings in a matchup with the Hawks. Stop being afraid of teams that have never done anything or won anything....

Gee, that was kind of pathetic... "Hossa curse" wtf is that? Get real... Shaky in goal??? Niemi is a solid goalie, great numbers, did you see the game versus the flames just earlier? if they go with him it's all good he's good enough for that team because they are loaded up front...

Hawks have gotten better this year, true, but it's more wings that has gotten much weaker, less firepower, rather than hawks become very much improved.

Mindfly doesn't have assurance that the Wings will win! Waaaah! Waaaaah!

The Hawks traded Havlat for Hossa. Hossa is no doubt better, but it's not like they didn't lose players last off season.

They did much more than that though. They also added Tomas Kopecky. We have no chance.

And wings lost tons of goals and points in:
Hossa, Hudler, Samuelsson, and those goals are nowhere to be seen on the current roster.

Some team is going to have to prove they are the new 'team to beat' in the playoffs. Until then, the wings clearly have the psychological advantage on San Jose, Chicago, and Vancouver. Yeah we lost some goals, but after we got the full team back, we got to within 6 pts of chicago after this mess of a season. That's pretty impressive. A series with Detroit and Chicago this playoffs would be spectacular.

We're definitely not as good as last year or the year before, but it's not like we didn't replace those players (albeit with not as good players, but it's not like we are only playing with 9 forwards). And Chicago didn't get that much better so saying that we'd get swept is just stupid.

But what else is there to expect from you.

I really wish Ericsson would have fought Carcillo. The Flyers had their way with us today and it showed. It was embarrassing as a fan to watch.

Lame-O didn't score, right?

Not really. They tried desperately to rattle Datsyuk, Helm and Franzen and it didn't work. I'm not sure what the final hit total was but for most of the game Philly only had a few extra hits.

they got under Holmstrom and Franzen's skin pretty well i thought

Yep. People here just don't want to admit that what the Flyers did actually seemed to work with some of our players.

We haven't played many teams all year that have tried this style against us. They had the personnel for it, and they got into the heads of some of our players with constant bullying tactics.

Homer and Franzen don't usually get so angry, so you know Carcillo did his job well.

Opposing agitators also don't usually have a pedo-stache, it's new territory for them.

[Zetts]

Well gee, will you look at that mindfly, San Jose lost. If the godly Chicago can win their extra game in hand, they'd be tied in points and hold the tie-breaker, so they'd be first. And Chicago has got at least one guaranteed win since they play the terrible Detroit Red Wings, right?

I'm glad the Ducks won't be in the playoffs this year; hopefully we can avoid the Flames too.

[stuck in socal]

I think the Flyers can cause some problems in the East if they get in the playoffs.

[Nero]

I'd like to see a Stache vs. Stache fight, Carcillo vs. Cindy.
And then I'd like that fight to end with Carcillo getting another suspension.
