Red Wings Playoffs

[McCarter]

AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could this have happened?!?  I stayed up until 2:07 am for that crap?

Man, i thought for sure we had that game bagged after the 2 goals in 17 seconds ( or whatever ) to tie it up.  Finally after 40+ minutes of play, the Wings looked like the Wings.  I cant believe it ended the way it did.

They need to step it up and fast.  Why is it every single playoffs, our key guys are out there sleeping?  Where was Lang last night, and Shannahan???    I seen a handful of guys playing well, and the rest looked like they were just out there cuz they had to be.

Legace was taking a beating this morning on the radio.  How dare they use him as the scapegoat.  Ok, so he had a bad game the other night at home, but last night he only let in one bad goal.  The rest could have been easily prevented with a little DEFENSE.  Manny kept us in the game for 5 periods of play and made some spectacular saves.

Had to vent.  Not happy right now.  We go a whole year without the greatest sport, ok the second greatest sport on earth and then we get this crap?  GRRRRRRRRRRR   Step it up, boys!

LETS GO WINGS!

I hear ya, Poorboy.  All of those penalties in the first two periods prevented them from ever getting into the groove.  Also, if I am going to stay up that late to watch the game, they better win it!

In Shanahan's defense, he hasn't been on the ice that much BECAUSE OF PK!
Our boys need to play like this is hockey that matters. If the Oilers are going to trap the neutral zone.......what about all those rink wide passes? The trap doesn't work for Minnesota against the Wings because river hockey is how you beat it. Quit worring about them beating on Pavel and PASS THE PUCK!
Sorry,I tend to get a bit carried away with this, after all it is the Cup boys.

Before the game, I called PG and gave him my score prediction, got it right on, You don't want to know my prediction for game 4

Whew!

Much better.  Finally, we see a little pep in the step of the Detroit Red Wings.  Last nights 4-2 vicotry over the Edmonton Oilers has restores my faith in the team.  Solid goal tending, near flawless penalty kills, outstanding power plays, big hits ( bet cleary is feeling that one this morning ) and hustle.  The perfect recipe for a Stanley Cup.

Our stars stepped it up a notch last night.  Robert Lang had a goal and 2 assists.  Lindstrom finally found net.  Shannahan had at least 6 shots on net.  Zetterberg has yet another goal, giving him 4 for the series so far. 

The officiating was nothing short of bogus.  19 penalties in the game.  some were good calls, most were horse crap, much like game 3.   That and the goal reviews slowed the game up quite a bit.  I was hoping to make it to bed before midnight, but that didnt happen. 

All in all, it was a good game and its nice to see the Wings tie up the series with 3 games to go and the next one back at the JOE!  Hopefully, Stevie will be up for the 3:00 pm game this Saturday.  Might have to reserve a seat at Hooters to watch it on the big screen.  I know, most of you lucky SOBs will be out fishing, legally.  But i will be working.  Sucks.  But good luck and posts some pictures and reports of the big ones.

Go WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst officiating I've seen all year. Just hate the make up calls.
Chelios had a bit of an attitude last night, good for him. Was also real happy to see Datsyuk and Zetterberg rolling again.
Now if Lang can keep it up and have Shanahan get going all should be well in Hockeytown!
