Why does Lebda have to wait for this Lidstrom joker to make a decision?

Hurry up already with the decision so that we can know whether Lebda will be back or not next year.

omfg haha

This commercial is not only the most retarded thing I've ever seen, but it's an insult to the Red Wings organization, which had to put up with this idiot Leino who had "NO DRIVE" this season because of his laziness.  Leino's drive my ass.  

And no I don't care if the Finnish posters here lower my rep because of this post.

Tell that to Crosby.

GMR: Did Sandstrom not deserve his cup ring for his 0 goals on a line with Steve Yzerman in 1997?

Sandstrom wasn't a star player that was going Cup hunting with different teams every year.

As a star player, Hossa doesn't deserve the Cup.  He disappears in big games.

Well, that wouldnt' be hard considering how San Jose got swept.

I thought we'd match up well with San Jose based on our previous dominance of them, and look how that went for us.  Before the playoffs, I wanted us to play Chicago because I thought it'd be a good matchup for us.

However, based on what happened with us and San Jose, we probably would lose to Chicago.  Better to lose to the Sharks than to the Hawks when it's all said and done with.

These Wings fans rooting for the Hawks are not "real" Wings fans.  

He's the most complete Russian forward. Whether that means "best" is up for debate. Datsyuk, Ovechkin, Malkin and Kovelchuk have all had terrible seasons though. At least Datsyuk can finish with a bit of a high note.

Datsyuk is the most complete, but Ovechkin is a scoring machine and is one of the 2 best players in hockey.  Kind of hard to say that he's not the best Russian player in the league.  

Not his fault he didn't play with the 2002 Wings or with Lidstrom and Zetterberg in the playoffs.  He has a lot more pressure on him than what Datsyuk has ever had in Detroit.  Other Caps players just let him down in the postseason these last few years.

Is he the best Russian forward in the NHL right now?

No.

I disagree. Had the officiating been even half-decent---and had Lidstrom's stick not broken, heh---the Wings very well could have won that series.

More blind homerism.

That's part of hockey.  You have to overcome that adversity.

Had Howard not let in softies in game 3, had Flip not sucked in the series, had the Wings PK not been inept, and had our 3rd and 4th lines not been useless, then we may have won the series.  

The Sharks were better than us.  The Wings deserved to win the series like I deserve to wake up tomorrow next to a young Brigitte Bardot.

Statistically, the jobbing doesn't even compare to what the Wings faced.

Maybe, but the better team is winning this series.  

The better team won the last series too.  It's hard to swallow that the Sharks are better than us, but it's true.  This season they're better than us.

The Sharks barely beat the Wings, and what made the difference was the horrendous officiating. The Sharks did not deserve to be in the WCF, and I'd glad to see them getting the pasting that they deserve.

Stop whining Crymson.

The Sharks deserved to win the series more than the Wings did.  Yeah they got breaks, but the Wings were 0-4 in one goal games in this series.  We played like crap and you suggest that we deserved to win?

What a blind homer post on your part.  

Wings didn't deserve s*** for the way they played.

I doubt it has ever been done.

Rhett Warrener lost in 3 Finals with 3 different teams, but not consecutively

Let's just hope Hossa loses again.  That would be hilarious.  He'll probably join the Capitals next year.

I don't like those rosy red cheeks of his.

He did, however, go 4 for 4 in the "Most Accurate Shoooter" in the All-Star Game competition, so he must be great, right?

Amen.


Must.  Not.  Delete.  Abuse...of....power........

I call that picture, "The Day God Failed"  

Take that, Sharks. It ain't so easy to win without the refs backing you up and falling for your act, eh?

Losers.

Actually, the refs handed them game 1 and they still lost.

Like I said, the Hawks just overcame adversity better than Detroit, and their PK has been solid.

Stop making excuses for us, and just admit that fact.

So are we gonna have a "2,000 posts for a Hawks Victory" in game 4 thread now?  

All the Sharks hate in this thread resulted in a Hawks win.  Thanks guys.
