this game's still up for grabs
 
we just need to catch our 2nd wind
 
LGW!!!

Exactly. That's the beauty of intermission. This has happened to us so many times, its time for us to do it to someone else

We're bending but not breaking against a team that looks like they really want it. If we can get a goal and pull of the W, this will be very deflating for the ducks

my heart sank sooo badly when that happened

You seem like a pleasant opposing fan. Welcome! Your type are pretty rare here
It's funny how one teams best moment is always the other teams worst. It's weird looking at things from the opposition's point of view!

Just curious, does anyone know what the powerplay will be? Dats- z and mule are a given, but I can't remember if Brunner was moved off the point when dekeyser came in, or if he is still back there

Also, I remember seeing nyquist on a couple powerplays (second unit). Is that full time or was it just because they were up by a few goals and wanted to try it out?

Cleary!!! I love that goal. Very grinder-esque
The way that series had gone, I was worried they would call that goalie interference.

i don't see how that's "trolling".  nothing i stated is untrue.

It isn't about points, our top 2 lines are better than their top 2 lines. All our third line needs to do is cancel theirs out. Lately, they've been our best puck possession line (except maybe dats and Z), so they can easily tire their opponents out and render them useless

 
how is the wings 3rd line any sort of advantage?  they may have been playing well, but they're not putting up points.  nyquist has 1 point in his last 10 games.
 
big deal.

"I love the red wings so much that I post nothing but negative things about them."

That was my second prediction - the first was like 68 points.. haha 
 

I suppose its never bad to be optimistic haha

Stats don't matter when you get pulled, scored on 4 times on 19 shots, and put it in your own net 2 times in one game. Stats do matter when you do none of that , which he did exactly last week. Last week he didn't mess up and played like he's a future hall of famer.
 
ELITE status doesn't comprise putting puck into your own net and getting pulled.

Rask, quick, Luongo, Schneider, lundqvist and price all had their fair share of bad games too.
Over the course of a full season, stats DO matter. It proves that he has had enough great games to make up for those bad games.
Nobody is arguing that he had no bad games this year, they are arguing that he has been WELL over average over the course of the whole year.
I'm one of the biggest Howard lovers out there, and I'll admit that he cannot be called "elite" yet, but I think will get there in the near future (starting with a Cinderella cup run maybe?) and I think he is well above average

Wings over pens!
Wings go through ducks, hawks, kings and pens en rout to their 12th cup in their farewell tour of the west!
I always suck at brackets because I always pick my team to win it... Totally screwed me in the NCAA bracket this year. MSU!!!!!!

LGW!

Alright one more.. might come up with some once the series starts.
 
 

 

Wow!

I hope they let it ride at least until they lose a game

Hey Murph, are these really only a dollar? I'll have 2 more!

I was losing hope when we forgot how to win shootouts for a while there, but I think overall this team has come together nicely with this push for the playoffs. Let's keep the intensity up and see what happens.

Best news of all: no shootouts in the playoffs!

This series won't be as physically taxing as Ducks series in the past have been. The ducks just aren't as physical as they once were. I see our skill guys matching up well against theirs. The way franzen has been playing, I see him being more of a factor than Ryan for them.
The ducks won a lot of games this year, but I really don't think they are as good as people think they are... In fact, I don't think there's anyone who the wings can't compete with. Should be a good series.
Wings in 6!
LGW!!!!

They should salute the fans here at AA center
