#2416451 Darren Helm - Career in Question?

Posted by Mike J. on 31 May 2013 - 01:29 AM

I really hope this is all cleared up by the time training camp starts. Helm is one of my favorite players to watch, and lord knows the Wings could have used him during these playoffs. He is pretty much the spearhead of their energy game. They need those young energy players. I feel like Nyquist really stepped up into that role during the playoffs, I'd love to see him on a line with Helmer.

Such a disappointing game. I lost it when the hawks scored in overtime. I just wish Helmer and Danny D had been in there for this round. The last three games there was no grit or energy it seemed like. I'm still pissed but what can you do. I want next season to start already. I wasn't ready for it to end, I love watching this team.

I nearly pissed my pants numerous times in the last half of that third period. My god that was a close game. After the boys killed that last penalty though I knew they had it in the bag. The momentum was just there. That crowd was amazing too. The Wings are making people eat their words one game at a time

Hahaha this is one of the best ones ive seen yet. Lets hope the guys can make another step towards eliminating these crybabys. I hope we see some more hissy fits from Chicago tonight

This was a fun game to watch, stressful because it seemed like Chicago often had the puck, but fun. Especially the last few minutes of Chicago throwing hissy fits every stoppage of play. Showing the entire world how classy they are. The Gus was loose, and Pavel pillaged. And you can't forget Howie turning into Stonewall Jackson. The hit on Mule should have been called too. I was pissed about that one. Let the Blackhawk butthurt begin!




#2401956 Captain Z

Posted by Mike J. on 10 May 2013 - 10:27 PM

It's games like this that further enforce the reason why Z is my favorite player since he came in the league. Favorite all time will always be Stevie but Z is just so clutch it's ridiculous, they needed him to perform tonight and he came through with flying colors

Sweet baby jesus this team sure knows how to give a guy a heart attack. 




#2398720 Six outdoor games in 2014 for NHL

Posted by Mike J. on 07 May 2013 - 12:46 AM

I live in southern CA and I have absolutely no desire to go to a game like that here. Mainly because I hate both of those teams.. But still. The NHL is kind of like Hollywood is with 3d movies. Just throw as much dog poop out there as you can and just assume the people will flock to it. The sad thing is, is that I'm sure that its gonna work. I'd rather have 1 outdoor game a year and that's it. The WC is still going to be the best game, that's what matters most.




#2395277 Brian Lashoff to take Dekeyser's place in game 3

Posted by Mike J. on 03 May 2013 - 12:11 PM

Lashoff was dressed at the game last night. So was Samuelsson. My vote goes to Lashoff for game 3. Losing Danny D is a kick in the balls though




#2395098 WCQF Game 2 GDT - Red Wings 5 @ Ducks 4 OT (Series tied, 1-1)

Posted by Mike J. on 03 May 2013 - 12:54 AM

Welp. Just left the Honda center. My voice is shot. My review, they looked better. Took advantage of the ducks mistakes early on and have themselves a nice lead. Jimmy definitely didn't play his best game. But the team looked good. Still could be better, definitely gotta work on exiting their own zone. The passes were there for the most part and Pavel played one hell of a defensive game, he had some pretty big hits too that I was jumping out of my seat for. My dad and my cousin were with me. As well as two other wings fans next to us, but other than that we were surrounded by orange. I was about to have a heart attack by the time the third period expired  I knew they had to make something happen on hat power play at the start of OT. If the ducks had killed off that penalty then I think the wings would've been in trouble. But as soon as I saw Goose move in and I saw the net fly back after he released the shot I was screaming like a school girl hugging my new drunken friends next to us and jumping like a lunatic. Honestly the most fun I've ever had at a hockey game. Definitely a night ill never forget. If they can carry this momentum over into hockey town for the next few games then I think they can put the ducks away. Now I begin my three hour drive back home and get to wake up for work in the morning. But I wouldn't trade a single second. Now I understand those "because it's the cup" commercials there's nothing like watching a playoff hockey game live. No other sport compares to it

I hate you, but I'm also scared you're right, and that is why I hate you.

P.S. I don't really hate you.



 

Honda center, what a joke. All you have to say is where'd you hide your Kings jersey?

 

I might have to grab a few Ducks jerseys while i'm there actually. We're almost out of toilet paper at my house

Please don't lose this one Wings. I really don't want to have to walk out of the Honda center hanging my head tomorrow.

I think it's safe to say Hank will be wearing the C until he retires. After that I'd like to see Helm wear the badge for a while




#2393140 WCQF Game 1 GDT : Red Wings 1, at Ducks 3. (Anaheim leads, 1-0)

Posted by Mike J. on 01 May 2013 - 12:25 AM

Well, it was a disappointing game. I was hoping the team from last week would show up and play. I'm hoping this isn't the same story on Thursday because I'm actually going to that game. My first NHL playoff game and I hope to god they don't lose, or that I don't have to knock out a Ducks fan. Last time I was there to see a game the Wings got shut out and it was pathetic. Plus I got stuck in the middle of the most annoying fans on the planet, I was ready to drop kick the guy behind me. PLEASE DONT LOSE ON THURSDAY WINGS. PLEASEEE




#2391325 WCQF: (7) Red Wings vs. (2) Ducks

Posted by Mike J. on 28 April 2013 - 01:21 AM

I couldn't be happier. I live out in CA about 2 hours from Anaheim, so that means im snagging tickets to either game 1 or 2 asap. Are any of you guys gonna be at the games there? I didn't get a chance to see them in the regular season, and i've never been to a playoff game so I figure this is my best chance. The way they've been playing I honestly think they could beat just about any team right now. If they keep this hot streak going and dont mess with the lines then I can see a lot of good things to come in the next few weeks. But for now, let's just celebrate our Wings continuing the greatest streak in any major sport at the moment.
