Din758 371 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 So often we complain about the wings getting screwed with the late start times on the west coast, but this saturday our early game could cause a problem for the yotes. I personally think it would be harder to get into your routine with an early game than it would be for a late game. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legaleaglewingsfan 75 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 The Wings play with the intensity of the last 40 of Game 1 they win. They play like the first period, they lose. Simple as that. 2 Rick D and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And for those who fret about afternoon start times, the Wings have won their last two starting at early times, 12:30et, 11:30 actually for them where they were at (Minnesota and Chicago). Also won their last afternoon game @ Nashville. I understand the concern but it shouldn't be as much of a factor as it is made out to be. They know how to handle earlier than usual games.

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 The Wings play with the intensity of the last 40 of Game 1 they win. They play like the first period, they lose. Simple as that. They killed off 4 penalties and a 5 on 3 with horrible officiating to boot and still stayed down by 1. If they play like that, I still think they can dispose of this team. Just my opinion there. Also, to add here that Bryz made like 3 real big saves that would normally have gone in. Their play for the 1st wasn't as bad as most make it out to be. 2 Frozen-Man and Datsyuk Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nate94gt 134 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 FYI its a 1pm game, not a 10am game. It sucks for the fans on the west coast, and those of us that have to blow an entire saturday afternoon in front of the tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I personally think it would be harder to get into your routine with an early game than it would be for a late game." last i knew, the fans didnt need to get into a routine to win a game. regardless, the coyotoes have been in detroit since at least wednesday, and the game is saturday. thats plenty of time to adjust to the time difference.

Like you mentioned, after they killed off that 5-3 Wings started taking control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then he mentioned something about after the first they had 11 shots and we had 10, so we did ok for ourselves.... 2 Datsyuk Fan and HankthaTank reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legaleaglewingsfan 75 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 The Wings play with the intensity of the last 40 of Game 1 they win. They come out flat and only show up after the first intermission as has been a recurring thing sometimes, they lose. Simple as that. Fixed, and agreed with those who commented on the PK stuff, but we know thats how it will be so it sadly almost has to be part of our gameplan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 This is an Early Bird Special because the Wings are old. (Had to play the Old Card sometime during the playoffs.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Wings have to assume they will get an unfair amount of penalties at the worst possible times, so they need to plan for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted April 16, 2011 I hate to rain on the parade here, but Phoenix has had two days to get acclimated to the time change, the start time isn't going to be a disadvantage to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
