You both beat me to it...

I think if there was a replay showing it from another angle (e.g. side-on) it wouldn't look quite as weird.

You're right. NHL.com has it with a side view and it's not nearly as strange looking. Still pretty odd though.

I totally want to play them now, with Anze out.

No Anze and no Williams is like taking 6 goals minimum out of the first round of the playoffs. I want them to be our first rounder. Especially if we make it a short trip.

"It is a lot easier to be an ******* to words than to people"-xkcd

Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.

This thread has been closed due to emotions being higher than people's ability to read, interpret, and properly respond to simple posts.

I say pee on the pinging puck. I don't want to meet up with Nashville. They always give our guys fits. I'd sooner our guys play the Hawks because I truly think we can beat them, especially if everyone's healthy.

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Money on the Board - 100 bucks on the base. From here on, one buck per puck IN goal, win or lose!

Total right now: $108.

I'd change the title of this thread to "Why I don't want to play Anaheim in the first round".

8 wins in their last 10 without their #1 goalie.

Perry is looking like he could win the Rocket Richard and 40 year old Selanne is one point behind Zetterberg in points.

Not to mention:
Ryan Getzlaf (14th in pts)
Bobby Ryan (22nd in pts)
Lubomir Visnovsky (29th in pts)

In total 5 of the top 30 point leaders in the NHL are Anaheim Ducks.

I hope they keep winning and face Phoenix or something because this is not an opponent you want to face in the first round.

Plus I think the Wings are 3-0-1 against them this year.

Kind of like how the Wings seemed to dominate the Sharks last year in the regular season and then, well, you know...

I also forgot to mention that Getzlaf is 14th despite missing 15 games this season due to injury. Had he been healthy he would have probably joined the top 10 with Perry and Selanne.

So yeah....no thanks.

The Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan line is the scariest lineup in the NHL hands down, thats not even including all three log double shifts during the playoffs. They get worked to the bone and produce under the stress. Emery is playing real good taking up from Dan Elli's slack and filling in for Hiller as he comes off of IR. I know Hiller got destroyed his first game back but right now they have steady goaltending with OUTSTANDING offense. Anaheim is the team I don't want to come near during playoffs.

Yeah but the whole point of this thread was supposed to be seeing that amazing non-goal (or save what ever you want to call it).
