unsaddleddonald 357 Report post Posted March 1, 2013 this would be encouraging, but Emery has been just as good as Crawford this year I'll take Emery. For whatever reason, Crawford ALWAYS seems to play lights out against us. Hell, their whole team gets up when they played the Winged Wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingsfan4795 552 Report post Posted March 1, 2013 Well, if the Wings had sucked hard from like 199whatever until 2006, theyd have a team like Chicago (or Pittsburgh or St Louis who didnt suck quite as bad, or the more recently sucky Oilers).That's the exact arguement I've made when discussing this with my friends here in Chicago. Teams like Detroit New York Boston and Vancouver (I hate vancouver but can't deny the fact that they are really good) deserve a lot of respect for building good teams without high draft picks, especially Detroit.I used to always think the hawks were a 4 man team with no depth, but lately their bottom 6 has improved immensely.

Jericho613 74 Report post Posted March 1, 2013 Without a doubt Chicago has been a great team this year, we took a point from them last time we met and we weren't playing our best hockey. Now i'm not saying we are playing lights out hockey now, but we have turned a corner to do some damage within the next 6-7 games to get some points. I do think we will beat the Hawks on Sunday, just don't think it will be in regulation. Chicago can be a dominant team all they want in the regular season, but it don't mean anything in the playoffs.

Tane 17 Report post Posted March 2, 2013 Thoughts? For a team to have so many draft picks to win a cup, good job on building a team. To have to Dismantle that team and literally lose all your depth and start over from just your key pieces and come back to an elite level, They have an opportunity to be a model Franchise, if they can win a cup with that much turnover. It'd be like us Holding on to Datsyuk, Howard, Z, Kronner and a couple of prospects, and clean house and come back and win another cup.......Kinda what we tried to do, it's just that Chicago did a better job. Mad Respect. I'd rather see an original 6 rival like Chicago doing well over some BS franchise like Nashville or Florida dominating. 1 Redwings 1926 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redwings 1926 47 Report post Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) I just got done talking to a bunch of Blackhawks fans, so I am a little amped up about this game now. All I did was go to a Blackhawks forum, and state my opinion about the proposed realignment, and was basically called names the whole time, so screw them. I want to see a "snowman", in favor of the Red Wings on Sunday. I respect the Blackhawks organization, and all of their history, but cannot stand their jealous, ignorant, and insecure fans. If anyone out there has a case of "penis envy", it's Blackhawks fans. Go Red Wings!! Edited March 2, 2013 by Redwings 1926 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted March 2, 2013 We should have won the first time we played them. If a determined Wings team shows up, we should win again.The Blackhawks have gotten more than their fair share of good bounces even if they are playing well. I can't wait. I will only get to see the first period or so because I have a flight at 3:30 heading to Florida with my girlfriend. I will be updating my phone non-stop in the airport so hopefully I can start the trip out on a good note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 This thread should be called "The Core"...they are kicking some record setting ass. Hopefully, we'll show up and make a game out of it. Anything less than our all, they'll mop the ice with us. Sure would be sweet to beat 'em. 1 Redwings 1926 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
