Deverill Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Red Wings hockey team - it's a Meeshigan thing. Quote
stevevan Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Hmmmmm...lost in OVERTIME to Calgary? Good thing it's a 7-game series! Quote
Head Guru Posted April 23, 2004 Author Posted April 23, 2004 How we loose to the flames in OT is beyond me. Well we did loose in the first round last year to the Ducks.... So go figure. Quote
stevevan Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 With all the Hall-of-Fame talent, they'd better! (But didn't they have most of this talent last year too and lost in round 1?) Quote
Hockeypuck Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Go SHARKS!!! No. The Wings are way cooler. Anywho, how'd you like that 5-1 win today HG? Quote
Head Guru Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 I think the time off wasnt good for the Wings. Game one they looked sluggish and out of synch. I am just so happy they got the power play back in groove, it was looking pretty ugly. Watching Stevie blast two shots past Kiprusoff was like eye candy. Just loved it! GO WINGS! I think the sharks are a very very good team btw. I was really hoping they would not make it to the next round. They are scary. Oh, can you tell we love hockey up here in Michigan Quote
stevevan Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 HG: We like it down in Florida, too! Go Lightning! (Even though I have been impressed with Philly's two wins thus far!) Quote
Head Guru Posted April 26, 2004 Author Posted April 26, 2004 Yea but look at the team Philly is playing. Toronto is simply tired. Belfour has looked awful. I think the two teams to beat (right now) are the Sharks and Tampa Bay. They are young and full of fire. With that said, I think experiance wins games in the playoffs. So round 3 will be interesting. Go Wings. It is funny I live in detroit and yet the wings are not my fav team Quote
scotttyz Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 Oh, can you tell we love hockey up here in Michigan Much of my Family is in Mich. My cousin even has a picture of her kissing the last cup the wings won. I think I was just born in the wrong state, but o well..... GO SHARKS! Quote
TCH-Dick Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 Toronto is simply tired. Belfour has looked awful. /me busts out his Belfour jersey...The Eagle is the man!! but yeah, he has been looking bad Quote
Head Guru Posted April 26, 2004 Author Posted April 26, 2004 ah the eagle from the stars team eh mike? Quote
PSF Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 GO WHALE!!!! Oh, wait.... Seriously, the NHL died for me in 1997 when Karmanos pulled up stakes and went to Raliegh. Quote
TCH-Dick Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 ah the eagle from the stars team eh mike? Yup, I was sad when Dallas let Belfour go. Turco is good, but he's no Belfour Quote
iconocoustica Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Bill, I moved from Livonia, MI 3 years ago to NC, and became a big fan of the Wings while there. I moved here just in time to see the Wings kill the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley. (I pulled for the Wings). Here is hoping they can go all the way this year, though Tampa Bay is looking pretty scary right now. Franklin Quote
Hockeypuck Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Game 3 has been stressful so far. Nothing but back and forth scoring in the second. Quote
stevevan Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 How 'bout Tampa Bay? Anyone picking the Sharks & Lightning for the finals? Quote
Head Guru Posted April 30, 2004 Author Posted April 30, 2004 Go Wings. On a side note... Is Ricci the ugliest player on the ice. egads... Quote
scotttyz Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Is Ricci the ugliest player on the ice. egads... he looks much better in person with his teeth in Quote
stevevan Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 He might be the ugliest, but (IMO) Ty Domi has to be the dirtiest! (Lightning zapped Montreal! Go figure!) Quote
Head Guru Posted May 1, 2004 Author Posted May 1, 2004 TORONTO (April 30, 2004) -- The National Hockey League announced today that Calgary Flames forward Ville Nieminen has been suspended for one game for a charging incident against Detroit Red Wings goaltender Curtis Joseph in an NHL Western Conference semifinal game played on April 29. The incident occurred at 19:56 of the third period. Nieminen was assessed a major penalty for charging and game misconduct on the play. Nieminen will miss Game Five of the series to be played tomorrow afternoon in Detroit. Quote
stevevan Posted May 1, 2004 Posted May 1, 2004 That was one that the NHL should definitely do what they did. On a related subject, I know that they want to crack down on interfering with the goalkeepers, but it's really becoming ridiculous. For example, last night's game (TOR vs PHI), John LeClair got a penalty for freeing his arm while being pushed towards and brushing (not hitting) Belfour's mask with his elbow. There have been numerous instances to each extreme. Some get called, others don't. Weird! Quote
Head Guru Posted May 4, 2004 Author Posted May 4, 2004 Well tonight is do or die for the Wings. Good news is that Stevie should be able to have full use of his eye. Anyways, my best friend told me today. "If the Wings loose tonight, they will fire Dave Lewis and Hire Barry Melrose". Off topic but I really like to see Melrose in detroit. GO WINGS! Quote
stevevan Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Good to hear the word on Stevie Y. That really looked nasty on TV. Kinda makes one wonder about mandatory eye protection as they have in all ranks of hockey through college. Can Detroit go down two years in a row? woooot Quote
TCH-Don Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I can't believe how lucky he is not to lose that eye, thank god he will be ok. That was one awful hit. Quote
stevevan Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 HG (and other Wings fans): My condolences on the loss of the Detroit Red Wings. With all that talent, they should have gone all the way. Perhap it's time for a coaching and/or player change. They just don't appear to have things together for playoff games. My money's still on a Tampa Bay - Sharks cup final. Quote
ThumpAZ Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Go Tampa!! (The Coyotes have been awful, as has any other PHX team for the last couple years, so I can't pull for them) Quote
