ash11 78 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 Okk guys i dont think this warrants a new thread. My gf suprised me with tickets to game 1 home at the joe for the playoffs. So 3 games into the series, idk what to expect how do playoff games differ from regular games in terms of being their. I have never been to a playoff game! Also when will they have the schedule come out for the first four games? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 While the record since March has been less than stellar, to put it politely, maintaining the streak is downright impressive. I'm 43 so I also remember the non-streak era. Here's hoping the outbreak of cranial-rectal implant syndrome that has haunted the team recently is cleared up for the playoffs. If they are healthy and focused for a full 60 minutes each night, I think they have a legitimate chance against anyone. In any case, let's enjoy the ride. Let's Go Wings!

It's no different than except the atmosphere is electric. Totally different than a regular season game. You'll love it! They usually pick a playoff song and then the opening is usually pretty awesome. Not sure what they'll have as a give away but I personally like the playoff rally towels. Will be interesting to see what the playoff slogan is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 Even nicer since the second longest streak just came to an end at 10 years. Not only that, but now Pittsburgh is 2nd at 8 years and Boston 3rd at 7. One of them practically certain to end. Our streak is longer than the next 3 (almost 4) combined. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ami 273 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 Anything can happen now! It's real wishful thinking! But if you honest with yourself... no, not anything with current mindset, current coaching, the best could happen is a 'not-so-early-exit'... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted April 11, 2015 Ugh but once again we limp in, only to face a better opponent. I hate this first round exit tradition that Holland seems to be happy with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Huge kudos to the Senators but I'd rather play them than Tampa, Rangers or Montreal I mean, if first round exits are good enough for Holland then so be it..personally I don't think that's wings style..clicking through that gallery made me realize how great this team has been in the late 90s and early 2000s Edited April 11, 2015 by frankgrimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kliq 3,763 Report post Posted April 11, 2015 Why do so many people act as if we get bounced from the first round every year? Since 2007 we have only lost in the first round 2 times, its by no means the usual.

I have to wait and see who they play, but I think are going to upset one of those 3 teams. The team was great in the late 90's and early 2000's, I miss that as well. But they also spent way more then mostly everyone else, its now an even playing field (or at least to a closer degree). 2 wings4thecup06 and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted April 11, 2015 In October if someone told us we'd finish 3rd in the division (assuming we hold on tonight), we'd all be thrilled! We moved up a couple spots compared to last season. I think the Wings accomplished their goals for the year. Let's see what happens in the playoffs! 3 kliq, wings4thecup06 and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzerfan87 146 Report post Posted April 12, 2015 People keep comparing the modern team to the team of the 90s/early 2000s, and that's really not fair. Since the lockout we've been knocked out 1st only three times, with three second round knockouts. Compared to pre-cap days with five first rounds including being swept by the #8 seed, two second and three third rounds. We've been remarkably successful for 24 years and with the constraints of the cap, we've still made the playoffs and more often than not gone at least to the second round. And the past three years especially we've been "rebuilding", yet still in the playoffs. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Euro_Twins 4,485 Report post Posted April 15, 2015 Seemed as good a spot as any to post this. All the "experts" are picking Tampa over Detroit in the first round. Not surprising since most of them said we wouldn't even make the playoffs.

It would be very interesting to compare predictions of these individuals with what has actually happened. I bet best of them wouldn't be higher than 25%.
