Wild Wing

^Pennywise performing as well? This can't get any better. It's a bummer we don't have a parade (The Angels had a parade when they won the World Series), but I'll be screaming my lungs out at the two hour rally. Three sun-belt teams have won it in a row, will the trend continue?

^Just out of curiosity, there has been only one defined "cheap shot" in this series, and that would be Chris Pronger's. Eliminate that one instance in this round, and tell me the Ducks are a "dirty team." I don't judge Ottawa by Alfie and Neil, Minnesota by Boogaard, the Kings by...well the Kings suck.

Then why the sudden requirement to make excuses for your team? Your whining really detracts from the highlights of the Red Wings season. As a relatively new hockey fan, one thing I love about Red Wings fans are their great display of class. I guess I can't wish for classy fans of all teams. It's okay though, I won't judge your organization by one person, as you or some of your peers love to do.

I'm really surprised Detroit hasn't exploited Giggy's vulnerability when it comes to lateral movement. Take the 5-on-3 powerplay you guys had in Game 2, Lang got the puck to either Clearly or Datsyuk, and the quick pass threw Giggy off, and the Detroit player had a WIDE OPEN GOAL. That's okay though, please keep shooting it at him! Giggy is on a roll right now, but we must help him out. We can't expect to win if Detroit keeps outshooting us 2-1, and our defense is not omnipotent. Beauchemin, Marchant, and Pahlsson, are non-marquee defensive specialists, are playing their hearts out. Our offense? Sloppy, turnover-prone, and lacking in the shot department. We need to get everyone involved and send ourselves to the SCF.

Ouch, that is how we should be running our power plays. We got lucky on that Holmstrom miss.

It still amazes me how well you guys kill our penalties. I swear, nothing is more frustrating then witnessing Detroit ruin all our power play opportunites thanks to amazing team efforts. The worst part, this has been happening all series. Kudos.

I actually think they were talking about Moen and Draper mouthing off, because Moen was trying to go after Datsyuk I guess.

Once again, you guys really have our number on power plays. When you are shorthanded, you play better against our five guys.

Thank you NBC, for disallowing me to watch another overtime hockey game, replaced by something that shouldn't even get any coverage on national TV. Seriously, WTF? I'm buying Versus next year.

^^Claude Lemieux on the Wings would make the Earth blow up.

I'm actually really surprised we didn't let a goal in towards the end of the third period. I was freaking out in my seat at the Pond last night, because Detroit went crazy offensively. I was surrounded by Red Wings fans, and everyone was just standing up as Detroit let go shot after shot. Is it Sunday yet?

Haha, I saw the sign last night, and my buddy who is a Detroit native loved it. One thing that I always root for in all professionals sports is for the perennially bad teams to finally overcome their slumps...except for the LA Kings

^^Any chance you can book Pebble Beach?

If we lose tonight, I have my list of excuses: 1) Our masseuse got arrested for a D.U.I. while on a spending binge in posh, South Orange County. I guarantee we would win if he didn't get arrested. 2) Emilio Estevez was supposed to be there for Game 3, he probably won't show tonight. How can we win without Gordon Bombay? 3) We didn't sign Greg Goldberg for goalie, we are screwed. 4) Detroit uses steroids. 5) We are just resting to kick your asses back in Detroit. There, I think I covered the bases. DUCKS IN 7!

I'll be there in three hours, and funny enough, I am going with a die-hard Red Wings fan (born in Detroit, and lurks on these boards). I'll be cheering my ass off, trying to drown out Detroit fans.
