Wings4Life19 150 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) so as i'm watching game 7 of the 2003 cup I started thinking about the similarities between the 2000-2003 Devils and the 2008-2011 Wings are. NJ 2000:Wins cup in 6 games NJ 2001:Lost game 7 in finals after having 3-2 lead in series NJ 2002:First round loss NJ 2003:Won cup in 7 games DET 2008:Wins cup in 6 games DET 2009:Lost game 7 in finals after having 3-2 lead in series DET 2010:Second round loss DET 2011:? with the exception of the game 7's(NJ road, DET home) and which round the teams lost after the game 7 loss they are the same results. Is this foreshadowing or just a coincidence? Edited August 13, 2010 by Wings4Life19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Shouldn't we have missed the playoffs after winning the Cup in '97 then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings4Life19 150 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Shouldn't we have missed the playoffs after winning the Cup in '97 then? this is only comparing the 2000-2003 devils and 2008-2011 wings and has nothing to do with any other years 1 Doc Holliday reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 It's definitely mid-August on LGW this is a pretty cool stat just for gits and shiggles though, even though I see absolutely no connection... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 You had to love the pattern of Cup wins in the late 90's/early 00's between the Devils, Avs, and Wings... 95 - New Jersey 96 - Colorado 97 & 98 - Detroit 00 - New Jersey 01 - Colorado 02 - Detroit It was all so predictable! Too bad we had to go and break it when we lost to Anaheim in the first round of '03... 1 zata40 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad we had to go and break it when we lost to Anaheim in the first round of '03... You forgot '03 - New Jersey won again Those 3 teams were the most dominant in the league at that point. It's kinda sad to see the Avs being so bad now. I wish that that rivalry still raged, because those were great ******* games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egroen 384 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Hopefully they play like they have something to prove, like in 08 after the loss to the Ducks and played like they wanted it from the start of the season till the end of the post-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted August 14, 2010 I hope our team will never be as infinitely boring as those teams were to watch. The Devils more than any other team prompted the idea of a "new NHL" with different rules and less trapping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
