I approve this thread.

Lets act like we have seen this team play before, Wings WILL bounce back and win in game 7.

Wings beat a much tougher, harder hitting, better defensive Ducks team last year with Hiller playing as good as Brygaylove if not better.



GO WINGS!!!!!

If Lids does retire, it will be interesting to see who the Wings go after with the money that will be freed up.

Ah. I thought I was the only one who noticed.

[DatsyukianDeke13]

Also I kind of feel like you should make a thread about it. But you'd probably get flamed for it.

Yeah I mean I got a minus just for expressing my opinions of game 7...the last thing I need is to make a post where people don't believe me so they downgrad the f*** out of me

[Duck Guy]

Did your sources tell you this?

Why won't you reveal them?!?! Gah...

-per eklund... /e4

[titanium2]

Wow, I haven't even considered that this may be Lidstrom's last game.

Also, Game 7 is on Tuesday and Nick's birthday is on Wednesday.

"Hey Happy Birthday Nick!"
"Hey, yeah, thaaaanksss. Uh, hey, so, yeah, I'mactuallyretiringandmovingbacktoSwedenso uh... yeah... Peace out."

Ahhhh.. Don't do that. The spelling was the same in the game 4 thread(Wings will win game 4 thread), and the Wings ended up winning!

[Wings_Dynasty]

Lidstrom's last game!?!?!?!

[ToMaToToWnWinGsFaN_24]

well..we will know if the wings win game 7 or not come late tuesday night.

remember the wings had the opportunity to close out the series today on HOME ice...but they failed to do so.

i knew this series was gonna go 7 games. i dont know why i just did.

regardless if the wings win i applaud the season the coyotes had this year.
the coyotes proved they can play well even with all the stuff surrounding them off the ice.

[DmitrifromRussia]

If this the same "I guarantee it" post that was like with game 4, so I don’t worry anymore. We’ll win. It’ll be not an easy ride but going in the second round is important.

A little too much pessimism in this thread...Detroit has shown that they can overcome adversity over and over again. I can't believe I'm reading that some of you are so sure that the Wings are not able to win a cup this year. This team can do what it wants; they've shown that with battling back to make it into the playoffs for the 19th straight season. And if Detroit does win this series, I firmly believe they can have a deep run and win another Cup.


SetecX - LOL. I hope it's the Messier kind.

Way, way, way too much pessimism on this thread. Personally, I don't buy the fact that Lidstrom will retire or that the Wings will lose Game 7. Obviously, there are no guarentees in life but for ppl to just roll over and die is a little ridiculous.

It's true that the West is a tough conference but right now every team has holes (including the Wings) but that gives Detroit just as good a chance to come out as anyone. Luongo as a sub 900 save percentage and if it weren't for Quick's meltdowns LA could have beaten the Canucks. Chicago is getting by Nashville by the skin of their teeth and although Niemi has had his moments he has also been exposed at times. San Jose's top line hasn't done a damn thing. Marleau has one goal and that was the fifth goal of a 5-0 win. Heatley and Thornton are goaless while Heatley is clearly banged up. If the Wings can win game 7 they'd face the Sharks and in my mind that is a great match up for the Wings. So for everyone who thinks the Wings have no chance well I think you're just being silly. Obviously their chances aren't nearly as good as years passed but if Howard settles down we can defintely make a run.

Not to mention most of the goals yesterday weren't Jimmy's fault.

Honestly it doesn't matter if we win or lose. The Wings will not win the cup this year. It just wasn't our year. Unfortunately, if we lose Tuesday night, it will be Lidstrom's last game in the NHL . While I think that physically he can still play (as his non physical game warrants) I just don't think he will continue to play at the elite level he always has. Plus, if hearsay is any indication, the Howe family says he is done (I live by them). I am optimistic about next year though. Especially with the return of Happy Hudler!! I am really hoping we win game 7, but I just don't think we have it. Even if we do, we are just postponing the eventual elimination (The West is just way too deep this year). In the end, I don't trust our defense, our goaltending, or our forwards on a game to game basis. Inconsistency will eventually our downfall.


But hey, maybe I'm just crazy and completely wrong


Go Wings!!!!!!

People and their 'sources'. Whatever.
Everyone says he is coming back for one more season. Win a Cup this June, I still think he plays one more, though less likely. Like, cmon. Our series ain't even done and you've already got us beat and Nik on a plane to Sweden. Like WTF?

And go talk to VAN, SJ or CHI about "goaltending" and their "forwards/defense". What a damn joke.

[GAWing]

I don't know, it's going to be a tough task. We'll find out if they still have it in them or if falling back to the pack has started.

I think with Doan out they should have run these lines, with Z and D on the same line i know they did it a little but the Yotes are a young team and sooner or later that Z and D line would have got to them, and Lidstrom i think on the 2nd pairing is good he has gotten burned a few times by the speed of them but its like splitin' D and Z with him and Rafalski, adds that little extra thing to worry about for the yotes 2nd line, and Flip just needs to shoot more so many times he passes up on a shot.

Everytime I watched a game in this series, they lose. When I don't watch (power outages, not televised here, etc), they win. I will NOT be watching tomorrow night, so you can bet on the Wings winning and advancing to the next round. I'll miss the entire playoffs if it helps the Wings win the Cup.

-Point and case Titanium. My sources = Gordie Howe and his family (who lives a few houses down from me).
-Soo um have you been watching the same series as me? Because last time I checked the games we lost, we didn't even show up to play. Last game, we got manhandled. Our team plays uninspired (forwards/defense) and Jimmy Howard gives up suspect goals (goaltending). The only forward I have applauded for his work this series is Justin Abdelkader.
