Wings Vs. Avs
Is anybody following this playoff matchup? I sure as heck am, being from a suburb 30 minutes from detroit, so I'm obligated. GO WINGS! We stomped the Avs today in game one, 5 to 3, McCarty was able to score 3 goals, achieving his first ever hat trick!
LETS GO WINGS! BRING STANLEY BACK HOME! |
Its only 1 game....dont worry about bringing the cup to Detroit...it wont happen
I assure it |
Well you guys had better get Roy to wake up out there. McCarty was putting shots past him like he was a 5 year old with ADD!
|
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! What happened to "The Great Roy"?!?!?!? HE SUCKED!!!
"Their execution was much better than ours in the third period," Hartley explained. - NHL.COM "Joe Sakic missed out on a golden opportunity from 10 feet out when he had the whole net open to himself." - NHL.COM "The Avs Suck!" - Matt Attallah |
"The Red Wings spent their day off filling out Social Security forms and restocking their metamucil. Yes its another typical day off for the Detroit Red Wings."
If by some way that travesty of a team wins this year, you know that many of them will be retiring, and Typical Detroit will spend another 40 years or so rebuilding so they can even have a remote chance of winning... |
Well it would be better than early vacation. Hahahahahahaha!
|
go Red Wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! |

go avalanche!
^^^bah.
i'm ignoring most of this post, cause apparently some peoples' brains were fried at Nationals, because they are cheering for the Red Wings. Did anyone read the interview about how the Wings are "anything but cocky" HAHAHHA YEAH RIGHT!#@! Then they went on to say how Roy is amazing and how the Avalanche are the most respected team in the NHL by the Red Wing players....at least they have some things right. Update to my list of favorite people: DJ fluck |
Wing vs. The 'Lanche
Alright everyone, here's my take:
The NHL playoffs would not be the same if the Avalanche and the Red Wings didn't play each other. That said, to all you Red Wings Fans (myself included): Be careful! Be very Careful! Not too long ago the Wings were up 2 games to 0 and lost 4 straight! Colorado makes me very nervous and Roy will always have 1 bad game against Detroit. Personally, I think Roy played a great game until McCarty got in his head. Also remember that any player who can miss the whole season and then dominate in the playoffs like Forsberg can, is a force to be reckoned with. Now, all you Avalanche fans: The Red Wings are the team to beat this year! If you can't see that, then you are blinded by ego, or you just don't really follow hockey. The Wings may have many older players, but they are still skating circles around most of the younger players in the league. And to all you Illinois and Indiana people cheering for the Avalanche: Shame on you!! Anyway, my pick is Detroit in 7 games and 3 of the games will be O.T. |
Re: Wing vs. The 'Lanche
Quote:
Shame? How...im a proud avalanche Fan Long Live the Midwestern Avalanche Fans!!! Even if Colorado loses this year, they will be a top contender for years to come, once Detroit's old men retire soon, they will be the laughing stock of the NHL for years to come... |
You Hockey Knowledge is Showing ...
Oh young D.J. Your lack of hockey knowledge is showing. True, The wings stacked the team full of older greats this year. However, the Red Wing's farm club is one of the most extensive in all of the NHL. Take Mattieu Dandenau, Sean Avery, and Jason Williams .. they are all from the Red Wings farm system. Avery isn't even playing in the playoffs, but he is good (a little scrapper, too). Also, free agents are going to come flocking to the Wings. When Hasek retires, Curtis Joseph will probably come here next year (I'll even bet on that one), and other free agents will, too.
One more thing, Roy has been playing in the league 18 years; he will retire in the years to come; Sakic will hang it up when Yzerman does. Igor Larionov (oldest guy in the league) has been less of an impact this year and the Wings really won't miss him that much. Robataille and Hull were only gap fillers (great gap fillers) until the younger farm club players come of age. Don't count Detroit out after this year |
I admitt that the wings do have the best defence right now, but they are fairly old, and there arent that many decent defencemen comming up from the NCAA or the farm teams...
The NHL will have a defenceman shortage in the next few years Plus: Im not too impressed with most Farm Clubs Except the Hershey Bears....and a few others Cinncinnati usually has a good club, along with the Manitoba Moose Club, and im sure im forgetting others Example: Brent Gretzky, yes the nephew of the great one. He was supposedly supposed to be as good or better than his Uncle, but he has been around for many years in the farm club and has been really quiet.... |
Save the Debate for IRI
D.J.,
We will just have to save this debate for IRI. The ThunderChickens will be there in full force and I will bring my Wings jersey just for you!! -Paul |
Great!
I have my gas can and zippo ready! :D |
Leafs vs. Carolina
Toronto Maple Leaf and Carlina, who do you think gonna win the final?????
_______________ GO LEAFS GO |
Carolina has a hockey team? lol jk...
GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finals will prolly be Toronto vs. Det. Then det will so go down. |
%%%% i am thoroughly enjoying this....
and whether I live in Chicago or Denver, the fact that the Aves are the best around(with Detroit in a close second) doesn't change. <3 either way the Cup is going to a team from the West. |
Well, Colorado is good...
I think det will prolly win (doesn't mean I want them to), but it definately could go either way. Whoever wins, Toronto will be there waiting to beat them in the finals :) |
hahahahahahahahahahaha
I didn't see last night's game but i enjoyed the results... :D Is Hasek loosing air? *choke* *choke* *choke* Detroit losing at home? Its all over now! muhahahahaha Too my good buddy Matt Attallah "Darren McCarty had a hat trick in Game 1. Maltby and Devereaux added goals in Monday's game. Stars like Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan, Sergei Fedorov and Luc Robitaille have yet to score against Colorado." Source: NHL.com I admitt Patrick Roy had a bad game, but his offense really stepped up to save him...... See ya' in Denver! |
Ave's Get One Back
D.J.,
You missed a good game. Both goaltenders have had better games. The Ave's definitely outplayed the Wings, but Roy almost let them back in. In my opinion, the Ave's should have won that game 3 to 2. Although Maltby made Roy drop his shorts on the shorthanded goal. Drury's goal to win in O.T. was one of the prettiest goals I've seen in a while. Update on my prediction: 7 games Det wins (3 games go to O.T.) Well, 1 O.T. game already. Series tied 1 - 1. Time will tell .... Series will be tied 2-2 going back to Detroit. |
Is Hasak choking? Maybe... he's had bad games before, and he usually picks right back in up the next game. At least he didn't kick the puck into his own goal :D
Anyhow, Detroit vs Colorado is always a good series... too bad the games are on so late over here. It sucks getting up for work the day after :-p |
Hockey sucks. :D :D :D :D
|
*smack* and yer from wisconsin, hoser...
Time for Game 3! |
Game 3 Update
1 - 0 Colorado after 1!!
Federov got away with one at the end of the period plus the double minor for mr lidstrom will help too :D |
Roy is a baby!!
did anyone here see the coyotes V.S. avs game ?
If so u probly remember the veteran Roy get schooled by the rookie Kris Kolanos on a penalty shot and Roy went and cried to the refs! it was great. im a coyotes fan but i really can't stand anyone on the Avs so GO RED WINGS!!!!! |
Wings Take Game 3
Well, the Wings took game 3. 2 to 1 in O.T. Update on my prediction: I said 3 O.T.s; it looks like it will be 4 or 5. For those of you who are not into hockey, you are missing one of the best rivalries in sports. There are about 16 future hall of famers on the ice between Colorado and Detroit. These guys are some of the best athletes in all of hockey. So if you are reading this and are not a big hockey fan, watch at 3:00pm Eastern Time on Saturday.
-Paul |
Wow, good game... I just can't help but laugh at the number of goals Colorado has kicked into their own goal. 2 in game 2, another in game 3... and people say that Hasak sucks. Oh well :D
|
Detroit didnt win that game on their own...they now have to rely on moronic defensemen to score their goals for them... DARN YOU Greg de Vries!!!!!!! knocking the puck off of Luc Robitaille's skate....oo yeah that takes talent....morons...
Well I hope Game 4 won't be as stupid |
Well I can't really say anything on this board since I'm a Rangers/Sabres fan, but anyway I think that the key to this series boils down to who has the better defense
p.s. I miss the Sharks |
Hey, if it beats you, I'll take it.... :):D
|
Aww yeah......Say goodbye to the Avs. This one's in the bag
|
Bah, dont count them out yet, its only been 3 games.....Detroit was huffin and puffin in the high altitudes....they can't take much more up there
Anyone catch the Rick Reilly column in the new sports illustrated....its great heres some highlights: "If detroit doesn't win, do you realize how many detroit fans will try to kill themselves by jumping out the windows of basement apartments?" "Detroit has a great owner. He might have a team full of guys who couldn't find downtown detroit with a GPS....." "I hated their little lawn gnome of a coach Scotty Bowman. I hatd their Moscow-Red uniforms (wheres Joe mccarthy when you need him(D.J.'s addition)). And I hate their spoiled brat owner who simply writes a check and steal whichever stars he fancies from whatever organizations molded him.....What happened Detroit? You couldn't come to terms with Gretzky?!" Rick Reilly is one of the most brilliant journalists of today |

Great Idea
Hey D.J.,
Maybe Detroit should sit Yzerman out for the whole season so he will be fresh for the playoffs(huh, Forsberg, huh). The Aves are a good team and I am not counting them out, but they have been relying on Roy too long and I think that well is drying up. -Paul |
yes maybe...but detroit needs to bench Steve, Sergi, Brendon, and Luc who have done absolutely nothing this series....Federov is on a 9 (?) game scoring slump and Luc Robitaille's only goal wasn't even his (DARN YOU GREG DE VRIES!)..so far this has been a disapointing series on both sides becuase both teams have played tons better....if Colorado didnt go to 7 with the Sharks and they were more rested it would be 3-0 Avs....Detroit is playing bad, but Colorado is playing as bad and sometimes worse....i have a feeling this is going to 7 and rhe rest of the games will be in overtime due to the lack of scoring, or too much scoring.
Anyone counting out the Leaves yet? Down 3-1....i think its going to 6 before Carolina taks it |
42 to 21
Yep. That was the shots on goal total for game 3.
Roy actually had decent game. The Wings dominated most of the 2nd period and all of the 3rd. The Wings had 13 shots on goal in the O.T. to Colorado's 4. These are the best 2 teams in hockey and the defenses (for the most part) are making the offenses look worse than they are. Oh, and about Yzerman, he is playing hurt. If Forsberg was hurt like Yzerman is, he would sit out the whole season .. Oh wait ... |
hahahaha
No. Anyway there is such a thing as comming back too early...careers have been ruined due to people comming back too soon before they were healed and then they re-injure the injury and it gets worse....Peter was playing it out and making sure that both of his feet were ok...anyway he wanted to get back on the ice the day after he had his appendix removed....which is crazy if you ask me |
YEAR Team (CONN SMYTHE)
2001 Colorado Avalanche (Patrick Roy ) 1998 Detroit Red Wings (Steve Yzerman) 1997 Detroit Red Wings (Mike Vernon) 1996 Colorado Avalanche (Joe Sakic) Take a quick gander at the revelent winnings of the cup recently. You accuse detroit of relying on our vets, which I dont think is wrong but look at the Avs there doing the same. relying on theirs so dont be the pot that calls the kettle black. I think that these are two kick (insert generic term for glutious maximus here) teams and some great hockey eh? but there will be a winner of the series and taking each team for its merrit I think the Wings will emerge triumphant!!! * SDHatWMU chants, "Lets go Red Wings!!!" , and tosses an octupus on the ice. :D |

GO WINGS GAME 7!!!!!!!!!! |
Wow, 2-0 Detroit. Going to game 7 back in Detroit!! Figures too.... going to the David Lee Roth/Sammy Hagar concert on Friday, so I'm not going to be able to watch the game :-(

The odds are against the wings for game 7. Dominator never winning, avs never losing.

Quote:
anyway about last nights game Both teams played bad, its just that Colorado played worse and Detroit finally woke up and realized they aren't gods... still i still back what ive said all along: Detroit is overrated! |
Hmmm... Detroit overrated? I don't think so. The wonderful thing about hockey is that anything can happen, no matter how good a team is. Look at Carolina... who actually thought they would make it all the way to the finals? Anyhow, Colorado is tired and hurt. Look at how many of their players are injured. I think playing 3 7 game series is finally catching up to them. As well, no team has ever won that many 7 game series in a row. Colorado is tired and Detroit still has plenty of energy left. Should be a good game tommorrow.
|
Wings rule
The wings havent had to do a game 7 since 96' but I think they're up to it. By the way thanks to Roy for the assist in our first goal.

Quote:
Also Detroit is overrated...they arent what they think they are and are easily beatable... Anyway, what kind of a person supports a team named after a pair of work shoes... The Detroit Work Shoes will be playing their last game this season tomorrow...I promise that! |
Ok, enough w/ Detroit sucks. Honestly, on paper, could you tell me, HONESTLY!, that Detroit sucks? If anything, they have too many stars.
Predictions- Det-1 Avs-0 (No OT) It will be a very tight game, but I believe the wings will win. And about the head-hunting, what in the hell has Col done w/ Yzerman? Going after him, particulary his leg so don't complain!!! |
Quote:
The odds are against Detroit tonight...and we can only wait and watch..... |
Well, if Colorado can't take a physical game against a bunch of old guys, well.... I won't go there. Anyhow, the Red Wings got their name from the team they origionally came from. I don't remember the specifics, but it was a Canadian team. Anyways, as for the Red Wing shoes, they are named after the city where they are made, Red Wing, Minnesota. A little bit different. Once again I say, Detroit is not overrated. Anything can happen in hockey, that's what makes it the best sport out there.

Yea, it was a pre-nhl team. When the NHL was formed, they came to Detroit as the Red Wings.

WINGS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
overrated or not thats 5 shutouts for Hasek, and the widest gap in game 7 EVER!!!!!!! Lord Stanley is coming home. |
Excellent
Ha! Take that Avs fans!
Seriously, we are better, but the Avs played very well (I would expect no less). It may have been a horrible last game, but it did come down to game 7. I look forward to next year... |
Avs Sucked tonight!
Ok i admit it, Colorado's performance tonight was total crap!! Detroit defanetly was the better team tonight, but Detroit put too much into tonights game and they are going to spend the first game, 2nd, and possibly the 3rd game playing tired and for the first few games they are going to struggle...
Detroit will be the favorite in this series, but dont count Carolina out, Irbe is a very good goalie, they have the advantage of resting time, and they have a well balanced team so don't count the canes out..... Colorado will be back with a vengence next year...im not so sure about Detroit....so lets see who is going to be laughing next year..... LONG LIVE COLORADO!!!! GO CANES! |
So, ah, who's overrated? :D
Sorry, I couldn't help it. I'll shut up now. |
Quote:
Detroit still is... They slacked off thinking they were all good, but they woke up finally when it gets close and overdoes it....Detroit is overrated....Age is a factor...I promise they are going to have a difficult series |
Ok, here's my theory.
What better way to embarras the team that's been a thorn in their sides for a while? Scotty Bowman is a genius when it comes to coaching. I don't think of any better theory then revenge. Take Colorado along, and crush them horribly in game 7. With how much experience the Wings have, do you really think they don't know how to play the game? That's my theory at least... flame it if you like, but I'm sticking to it. |

Im telling you this year is going to ruin Detroit either way....if they win, the majority of the team retires and they start all over and spend another 53 years rebuilding....if they dont win, the old men will stay another year and risk injuring their crumbling old bodies for good...either way they lose |
Well, at least they still have a shot at winning the cup :D
|
Well DJ....how can you talk about the wings losing either way?
We may have an old team, but we still stomped your'e team into the ground. So maybe, your'e team is screwed either way, as being a young team, it's easy to show them who's boss *cough* game 7 *cough*. Plus, as I recall, your'e team has already lost...so it's screwed no matter what. |
Final Thought
Quote:
FINAL THOUGHT Anyway, like I said earlier, Colorado played like crap and game 7 was a total disgrace to the state of Colorado, it was a terrible way to go, but Colorado has the upcomming talent and plenty of youth to cover in the future once Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy hang up the skates |
REAL Final Thought
Yeah that last reply was out of impulse and frustration...after thinking about it I figured out what I really want to say..
I have no reason to blame the players of Detroit, they are doing nothing wrong, they have a ton of talent on that team, even though they are aged...You have to have one good owner to get Dominick Hasek, Sergi Federov, Steve Yzerman, and many others on a team together....In a radical way, I basically said in previous posts, that Detroit will spend forever rebuilding...once their superstars retire, get traded, or move on as free agents, Detroit will have a big gap to fill. The only complaint about Detroit is the strategy of the Front Office...They come close to the salary cap by filling the team with heavy talent...the problem, most of them are on their way out of the NHL in a few years....The owners of Detroit are going to disapoint their fans when this happens, becuase you cannot rebuild a team to what they were, no matter what kind or how good of owner you are. Colorado is playing it smart by sacrificing a few stanley cups this year and most likely next year, but they still will be a top contender and when they finally get their act together and stop relying on the goalie to carry them they will become a very strong team.. Why? Their roster has a wide variety of age, and they have some good young men who are going to make it big and possibly be the next Dominick Hasek, Patrick Roy, Steve Yzerman, and Joe Sakic... Summary Detroit has a great team right now, but the front office isn't planning their future really well...Colorado's owners could teach them a lesson or two. Once Detroit's superstars retire, the fans will be disapointed when they aren't as good for the next few years Good Luck to Detroit and Carolina, and may the best team on the ice win. Finally: To Matt Attallah, Dan Levin, Dave Hurt, and whoever else I angered with my thoughts, I apologize, lets put this childish arguement behind us and move on... |
