He picked them to upset the Ducks.  I don't get the inferiority complex that seems so prevelent here.  Everyone doesn't hate the Wings.

 

I must have missed that prediction....ok in the past, he religiously picked the Wings to lose....even when they were the best team in the NHL

Wings fans are still griping about the no goal against Anaheim.  Every team thinks their team gets all the bad calls.  So if Wings fans are "living with it", you could have fooled me.  It's been mentioned numerous times.  The call was certainly a game changer, and if had happend to the team I cheer for, I can't say I'd be too pleased.  I don't disagree with Valenti.  The Wings got a break, it was a questionable call and move on from there.  The Holmstrom calls over the years are irrelevent to the Game 3 goal.

 

They are irrelevant to game 3 sure, but they are very relevant to the way the Wings fans look at the game 3 goal...just as much as that was a game changer for us, the no goal against Anaheim was a game series changer for them.  Same situation.  The Wings have suffered enough of those blown calls that they feel its about time they got one in their favor.  That is why they aren't feeling sorry for the Chicago fans.  Welcome to the club Chicago, we feel ya, but can't reach ya!

 

Trying to get a Wings fan to change their mindset about this goal would be like trying to get a Chicago fan to change their mindset about their 1st goal...the informative fans probably say the same things about that goal as we do about theirs non-goal..."it happens, it was a missed call and Kane's goal shouldn't have even happened, but it did."  They blew that call and they blew the no goal. If they would have called the penalty before Kane's goal, they wouldn't have gotten them momentum and the no goal wouldn't have even happened...It's my opinion if the penalty was called, the game ends in a shutout... BTW, refs blew TONS of calls all game long.  I was particularly pissed at the flying elbow to Smith's chin in the 1st that wasn't even called a penalty NOR reviewed by the NHL...it was a headhunting BLATENT hit. But, he wasn't injured (or faked the injury) so it isn't suspension worthy....

I know a guy who is addicted to brake fluid.

Saw Larry Murphy by the zamboni entrance just a bit ago. Looks like he's taking the mic from Darren McCarty for pregame emcee here at JLA.

Do you really want to let this kid down....just win!! =)

Lids?!!

That friggin' chant makes me grin like an idiot every time I hear it.

@CraigCustance any chance at a possible Karlsson-like miracle return to the playoffs?

.@RyanWalker78 When I asked if playoff return possible, he smiled and said 'maybe.' He's definitely not ruling it out.

Just give us 3 more games like today Wings...

Or 11

I don't remember any specific plays that were blatant penalties by the Wings that got overlooked. If you have the puck and are controlling play more, the less likely you are to commit infractions. Toews should know this on a puck possession team.

This was just one team being far better than the other. The refs influence outcomes all too often in the NHL these days, but it's silly to claim a little physical play prevented Chicago from winning. Toews doesn't care that Shaw skates around like an idiot though nearly every shift?

 

CBC was replaying the "should've been called" highlights several times, and Zetterberg was rough on Toews, but nothing that deserves a playoff penalty (probably not even a regualr season call). It's a part of the game, Holmstrom made a career off taking far worse clobberings.

This group just continues to impress the hell out of me. The resiliency they constantly have shown is unreal. A dominating performance on the road against the best team in hockey to get the series even. Mike Babcock is the Jack Adams winner -- nobody has done a better coaching job between the injuries, offseason losses and incorporating a ton of youth all at once. 

 

I don't know the Red Wings will win this series, but I have no doubts they will compete and give the Blackhawks everything they can handle. The Joe is going to be nuts on Monday!
