Ok, I just got back from doing stuff all afternoon....I am assuming we reached the 321 posts for a win?

Anyhow! 3-1 Wings! Lets Go Red Wings!

I still am having a hard time believing that we will win this series. Win tonight and I will really be second guessing my Hawks in 6 prediction. I think even if we take this series to 7 games it will be a success. The more Wings hockey I get to watch the better!

We weren't supposed to make the playoffs according to MOST NHL experts....we were not supposed to win against Anaheim...we aren't supposed to be in the same rink as Chicago...This is already a successful season, every extra win is bonus and another serving of crow to the NHL experts... I hope we take the series, and I am confident if the team that showed up Saturday shows up every game, we will.

Both Jimmy and Hank are having a Smythe playoff....

I looked and I posted....CHECK!

Notice that after his goal he seemed to exude a bit more confidence out there.  He just looked like he had a bit of a monkey lifted off his shoulders today...A game like today where he was really down on himself and then felt the euphoria of netting the game winner can do wonders for his mental state and help mold him into the player everyone was touting him to be over last summer... You MUST lose to learn to win.  You learn by mistakes and only get better.  If people weren't meant to make mistakes, God would not have created erasers.  You may go through your first couple of pencils quickly, but with every mistake erased and life's lessons learned, eventually the eraser last longer and longer and longer...until finally you have the experience and the confidence to use a pen!

Why did you have to bring up Sid.  The discussion was about Val.  Does everything have to be about Sid?  If Sid is "the greatest player in the world" why has he never even been a finalist for the Selke?  You would think that the "greatest player in the world" would also win the Selke every year.  DATS is the greatest.

Whoa, easy man....without going back through the pages of this thread someone had said that if that was Sid that scored that goal it would been replayed on NBC X amount of times already...which is what I said in the first line of my post of the vids, which you obviously chose to ignore. Instead all you saw was someone mention Sidney and decided to try to incite a war over it. You are talking to one of the biggest Sid haters in the world, which is why I chose to show Val scoring two goals that are rarely equaled by Sid.  In which the point of my post was to say how much Val deserves some similar TV time to Sid because of todays goal, yet he won't get it.

So, if you would have read the post instead of just trying to flame me since I mentioned Sidney, you would've gotten that. I never said he was the greatest player of all time either...

So, back to the topic of the game and the goal, it was a great goal by Val that deserves to be shown over and over again on NBC and TSN.

Well, I see that someone earlier mentioned that if it were a certain other player who made that shot, it would be non-stop playing on NBC and TSN all day and night...Lead me to start looking around for some super goals by "him."

First off, I found Val's on Youtube:

Also here is Val's from 2008:

Sid has had some amazing goals and even though I have looked and looked, I haven't found ANY that are much better if at all than these two by Val.  Sure Sid has some, and they are great highlights, but that is expected of him, Val's goals are equally amazing. $6M amazing, nah!

Not saying Val is as good as Sid, but he deserves some well deserved NATIONAL press time for this goal...it was every bit as equally amazing as any of Sids I could find...

More from Toews...cough-whiner-cough

Don't these players ever learn? When they complain about not getting calls in the hopes that they are "politicking for more calls to be made" they end up getting more calls against them and even less against the opposing team...It's as certain as death and taxes... Thank you Porky, even though we are struggling on the PP, it'll be nice to have your team only have 4 guys out there for about 16 mins next game...

I couldn't believe it when even Edzo admitted that he "might" have embellished a bit for that call.

Thanks!

anyone have Val's $6M goal on video yet?

Really? Wow.....the kid is in his first FULL year.  FIRST EVER NHL Playoff's.  On a team where he is #3 defenseman as a rookie....PLUS HE JUST SCORED!

He will grow into a great player, have patience...

Tootoo in....White in.... Not gonna hurt.

My god people. Calm down. We're playing flat right now, it happens. The over reacting on this forum is ridiculous.

Not that you are too far off base, but seriously the way you say that is like you have been here for 10 years... nothing wrong with a little overreaction... Chicago just the better team tonight....lets just hope the Wings are playing flat and this is not just how good the Hawks are compared to us...

Smith is struggling...maybe White will get a shot this series...

Anyhow....we have that Average Goalie to thank for stealing that period. Chicago is showing why they were the best, BUT we are still there. Gotta come out and get a bit of puck luck....

Hawks have killed off 20 straight PP's...law of averages says it's time to give one up.

She worked last time, so I will use her again!

JUST SHOOT THE F'ING PUCK!

at the line of McCarty - Kennedy - Probert....all be damned, I teared up in 1997 when Stevie raised the Cup and I just did again! Absolute #1 Stanley Cup win in my lifetime!

Well considering the guy above is pretty new to these parts, he/she obviously doesn't understand what my statement meant in respect to these forums.

No, one series does not end a debate in general and I am still of the opinion that Hossa is a better player than Franzen.  Even if We win and Franzen outscores Hosse, my personal opinion will still be that...  BUT the folks that have been around here since "The Choice" know exactly what my statement meant and means to me. Whether or not I think Hossa is a better player, if we beat Chicago or Franzen outscores Hossa (win or lose) I will never compare them again, or complain about "The Choice."

^ Why so serious all the time? I feel like I get lectured everytime I read one of those posts....
