Clark, I think that hex is done. We’ve been good the last couple games.

Posted by Nate A  on  04/29  at  10:00 PM

It pains me to say it, but I could see the Wings losing this game tonight.

I just finished covering the Raps-Magic NBA series (so I missed the first two games of Wings-Ava) but I think the matchup and talent level between the two teams in this series is very similar.

So if my theory holds true, the Avs will beat the Wings 4-2 or so tonight. Then Game 4 will be really close, but the Wings will pull it out in Denver, maybe in overtime. Then they will come back to Detroit and take care of business in Game 5.

If Forsberg and Hanan do play, and the crowd is nuts, it will be enough to push them over the top emotionally. It’s such a boost to come home to a rocking crowd when you’re down.

Hey I hope it don’t happen. I hope the Wings nail em to the wall tonight, and Theodore might let that happen. I just wanted to put my genius thought on the record somewhere.

Posted by Jayo from Toronto  on  04/29  at  10:00 PM

Jayo, you are a Real Man of Genius.

I know this because my prediction is basically the same as yours, and I am a genius, too..

go wings

I usually just let ‘em rip Paul.  I’ll read it afterward and correct any stupid spelling/grammar stuff, but for the most part it’s just kind of a mass spewage.

for the most part it’s just kind of a mass spewage.

that’s what I figured.  kind of hard to come up with the things you do if it’s planned.  it has to come from inside.

Ugh.  Bad omen.  Versus is pre-empted by Petey McNab and John “Late Night Sneaky Uncle” Kelly… As bad as Versus is, this is terrible

Hopefully these two are sobbing in each other’s arms by the end of the night…

Well guys here we go again. Go Wings!

I just don’t know if I can stay up all night to watch this one. I’m still recovering from surgery and I’m all loaded up with Vicodin tonight.

Here’s hoping I don’t bust a suture open yelling at the teevee.

Tomorrow morning is going to suck.

So far...so good.

Who would have thought that the can would have a waste management logo at center ice?  Fitting.

Posted by eyesris from Georgia  on  04/29  at  10:12 PM

Agreed with earlier comments about the likely loss tonight...or at least tomorrow.  Unlikely we’re getting the sweep, but I’m not too worried.

Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA  on  04/29  at  10:13 PM

no boarding call?!  are you kidding me?!

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach  on  04/29  at  10:14 PM

no holding call against the Avs on Datsyuk.  do the refs realize the game started?

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach  on  04/29  at  10:15 PM

Now we see why the likely loss.  Looks like they refs are going to make up for that 3rd period from last game with no calls.

Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA  on  04/29  at  10:15 PM

Definitely letting them play.  At least three penalties that could have been called either way.

...or not…

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach  on  04/29  at  10:18 PM

Ugh… this isn’t good. But maybe it’ll spark the Wings to step up their play.

Posted by Jennifer  on  04/29  at  10:18 PM

First LaDERRIER lays out the dirtiest hit of the series…

Then the Dive score a weak one.

Somebody needs a f***** beat down…

Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado  on  04/29  at  10:21 PM

70 degrees in Denver and the ice is “the worst so far in the playoffs” according to the Wings.  methinks the Avs want the puck bouncing all over the place.  but hey, it’s not like they painted the visitors’ locker room last night or anything…

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach  on  04/29  at  10:21 PM

Jesus...there’s no fight in this team.  Kronner not following through on a hit?

Though it’s unlikely the Avs can keep up the tempo.

Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA  on  04/29  at  10:22 PM

Mule Time???

Posted by BP29er from Livonia,MI  on  04/29  at  10:22 PM

So that was McLeod with the goal...who per NHL rules should have been suspended following the ‘pus throwing incident...against anyone but the Wings.

Thanks, Gary.  Ass.

Posted by number9  on  04/29  at  10:22 PM

don’t get sour already, people!  the goal was a good one by the Avs.  they don’t have near the energy I would expect them to have considering the importance of the game, and the Wings look good so far.  time for the PP, and even up the game.

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach  on  04/29  at  10:22 PM

one consilation to that first goal is we now have LaDerrier to hate and target… who’s down for sending LaD a good old knuckle sandwich, d-Mac?

Posted by VooX  on  04/29  at  10:24 PM

I thought homer had two for sure that shift alone. He’s looking a little more active.  Man, this is gonna be a frigging nail biter.  Might as well drink.

Quote of the game so far

Posted by BuzzFledderjohn from Frederick, MD  on  04/29  at  10:38 PM

We score one more, 3/4 doesn’t play starting the 2nd.  Forsberg is in the locker room again ALREADY!!

Posted by Chris from Columbia, Tennessee  on  04/29  at  10:38 PM

Forsberg went to the room

Posted by Osrt  on  04/29  at  10:38 PM

gee, The Great Distractor went to the dressing room, eh?  so he tried to play when he shouldn’t have, made it all of 15 minutes, and now leaves his team short a forward.  Quenneville is a genius.

Posted by Chris from Columbia, Tennessee  on  04/29  at  10:42 PM

Thanks for the correction, Paul

Posted by Chris from Columbia, Tennessee  on  04/29  at  10:43 PM

I have to say that Mule is making so many smart choices on the ice right now he has to be commended.  He is playing on a different level… wow.

Posted by VooX  on  04/29  at  10:44 PM

Theodore has been one lucky bastard tonite.

Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC  on  04/29  at  10:45 PM

He’s responded?  2 goals on 19 shots is kinda mediocre...but then compared to his record over the last couple of games, I guess I can understand his logic.

Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA  on  04/29  at  10:45 PM

One word to describe the first period: unsurprising.

Posted by Ryan from Toronto  on  04/29  at  10:45 PM

19 shots after that slow start, not bad.  We started to take over as the period went on.  We’re settling in just fine

Posted by Chris in Columbia, TN  on  04/29  at  10:46 PM

good period on the road.  Avs got some chances, and they’re going to, but Osgood was solid.

one thing I notice that’s glaringly absent from this series is that “OMFG what the hell do they have to do to score on this guy?!” thought that we’re so used to in the playoffs.

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach  on  04/29  at  10:46 PM

I love that Crosby commercial.  that shot with the puck going over the frozen goalie is awesome!

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach  on  04/29  at  10:47 PM

Absolutely couldn’t have asked for a better first period. Withstood the little momentum boost from the wine sippers. Settled down. Then absolutely took over.

Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC  on  04/29  at  10:47 PM

If I was Sakic, I would walk over to Petey and smack him front of everyone.

Posted by Osrt  on  04/29  at  10:47 PM

...then smack Q for putting him in.

And then defect.

Bitches.

Posted by TeamDub  on  04/29  at  10:53 PM

I really like the confidence of the Wings at this point.  The Dive ran them to begin the game and scored an early goal but the Wings played their game.  They look very steady, and dare I say it, ‘championistic’ in their determination.

Helluva period.  Even when the Avs took the lead the Wings were playing better and making more chances.

Avs lucky it’s not 4-1 by now.

Posted by RWBill  on  04/29  at  10:56 PM

“In terms of” dim-witted play-by-play men, how many times did this guy re-use “in terms of “ in the first period.  “____ leads his team in terms of ____” “The _____ lead the NHL in terms of _______”

How nice would it be if the Vag savior ends up costing them another goal?

Parity Nate, parity.

they can’t stop him fairly so they get a little leeway on the “rules” in order to give the game a little parity.

there have been a few missed calls in the last 5 of the 2nd.

Alright. Been drinking and have something unpopular to say. Little Gary...ass? I just can’t get behind it anymore. Since he’s taken charge (92? 93?), the Wings haven’t missed the playoffs, have picked up three Cups, 6 president trophies, have dominated the whole league…

Gary’s an idiot...an ineffective leader, a poor choice when it comes to handing over the keys to the NHL...he’s dilluted the talent of teams, he’s expanded into the wrong markets, made sure you can’t find hockey on TV, partnered with companies that make a joke of this league…

but…

None of that has been bad for the Wings. In fact it’s been good for them. Even putting the team in the West and making sure they have one of the most grueling travel schedules in the league hasn’t shown that it hurts them. His attempts to create parity have only highlighted the genius that is Ken Holland.

So I just wanted to say thanks Gary. Yes, you’re an ass, but you’re okay. Feel free to screw this league over for years to come if it means I get to keep watching the Wings spank the Avs in the playoffs.

I’m too superstitious too agree with that, but then I’m a strange like that.

The Wing’s PP is about where it was at in the regular season - 20.20%.  It’s at 19.04% after those two PP goals tonight.

Posted by jrl123  on  04/29  at  11:40 PM

You know, what I like best about this board is that when someone has a legitimate question one of the regulars takes the time to explain and educate the person. Kudos to all of you on a job well done… Now, back to the snide comments..

Didn’t the DC pick the Snorks to come out of the West?

I know he picked the Rangers in the East and Sidney and friends are going through NY like Oprah through a ham.

Yea RWBill; I can’t believe they won.

Posted by Osrt  on  04/29  at  11:45 PM

Around 8 minutes of power play time in that period, but only 9 shots?

Snorks?

Wow. Wingsfan, I think you just outed yourself as a child of the 80s.

Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA  on  04/29  at  11:45 PM

Well WingsinDenver, the DC is a hockey genius, that’s why no GM will offer him a position in the game.

Posted by RWBill  on  04/29  at  11:46 PM

thanks for the link, IWO.  Datsyuk looks unbelievable.  every time he’s on the ice, the Wings have a scoring chance.  almost got the hat trick on the breakaway.  i’m calling a Datsyuk hat trick tonight!

Posted by Alex from San Francisco  on  04/29  at  11:46 PM

As much as I hate to say it, I think the Wings are really going to play tight defensively in the third.

Gabriel, definitely not the way to start a sentence.  In AA they teach you that it is “not all about you.” So find a friend and stop drinking alone.  At least that’s how I took their advice. 

Me? I’m on the roof of the Hasek between periods hitting golf balls.  Chief said we need to get out more on the other thread.  C’mon up.... buck a ball...unless “Lucky” the three legged dog brings them back, then it’s free.
