Red Wings

[Malto Marko]

Hmmmmmm.

Got home from Work, fixed Mama her Mothers Day Dinner, fell asleep after cleanup.

Woke up at 9:45 and put the TV on the channel the game is on.

Fell back asleep to wake up with 17:35 in the first and Detroit ahead by one.

Fell back asleep to wake up in the second intermission.

Woke up after the game was over.

Re-broadcast started at 4 and am currently watching with 6:23 left in the second (the re-broadcast is an edited version with fewer commercials and they cut right to the 10:00 mark of the second). Filppia just scored to make it 3-1.

Glad to be able to catch the action.

Where are all the Ducks fans comments? Heck, it was only 7:00 when the coverage began there.

........side note. I am a traditionalist that does not like when the Star Spangled Banner gets embellished by the performer but, I thought the young lady that did it, knocked it out of the park!

I wonder what time Selanne has reserved for his tee time today?

[Malto Marko]

......oh ya, and Chemi, now we get to see if the Wings can be competitive against the Hawks.

I see Chicago in 6 or Detroit in 7.

Depends if the Wings are too busy patting themselves on the back for advancing.

[Malto Marko]

BTW, Selannes stick to Howards head and then another to Eaves at the end of the second was bush league.

[Malto Marko]

Wow!

What a finish.

Ducks could easily have scored to send it to OT.

Howard stood on his head the whole game. He and the Captain are the reason they are advancing.

.......oh, and did I ever mention that fans that sit by the glass and find it necessary to bang on the glass every time the opposition has the puck in their end are ignorant jackwagons? Tonight there was one (out of all the people that have seats on the glass) that stood out.

The Wings usually go as Zetterberg goes. Really played great :-)

Ahem...did anyone not notice that a certain forumite said the wings would win the series way back when they were down 3 games to 2? Even God told me she was impressed. And yes Wings fan and Malto a great deal of the credit goes to Captain Zee....

[Tony G]

He and the Captain are the reason they are advancing.

What did Steve Yzerman do to help them win this series??

It'll depend on if the Wings can get the jump on Chicago. If they can grab one of those first two games (and prove to themselves they CAN beat these Blackhawks), a long series is definitely in the cards.

But if the Blackhawks shake off the rust and take control in a timely manner... it's a series that could be over very quick. Once Chicago gets the engine revving, they are a very hard team to stop.

[froot loops]

Its going to be a long series no matter what.

[jaadam4]

I wish Scotty would come home. I hate him being in Chicago.

[CGVT]

Damn. Too bad the made it into the playoffs, they obviously weren't worthy. What a waste...

[Tony G]

Another series does give the I's bottom line a nice boost.

[froot loops]

Scotty Bowman is a hockey nomad, Detroit isn't anymore a home than Chicago, Pittsburgh or Montreal.

[Tony G]

or St. Louis

[The Cat]

Chicago in 6 or wings in 7.......interesting prediction Malto...hopefully the latter prevails....

BTW....I no longer can see a quote button....on the thread.....Is there a problem with my computer settings or what?
