random sidenote....anyone else notice there's not a lot of people showing up in hockeytown? lot of empty seats last night (and Tuesday)....and dare I say, it looked like PHO did a better job of selling out then DET did in the last series....

Don't generalize all of us. Just don't.

Not generalizing, my bad if you took that as my opinion. Just passing along the rep attributed. No more, no less.

I can certainly understand why an Avs fan would hate Detroit. The feeling is typically mutual. I have come to appreciate the Avs, particularly during the lean years when they petered out and DET didn't really have a good Western rival. Back in the '90s DET and COL were the best rivalry in hockey. COL had some great players: Sakic, Forsberg, Roy, Drury, Bourque (for a year).
I get that, and understand why that is "good" for the league if the golden child gets a ring or six, but why tarish the golden puss by giving his team special treatment? In some peoples' minds, any victory that comes that way will always have an asterisk, and place into question if he is really all that great or not. That (and his continual whining to the refs) makes people hate him everywhere he goes, even his home city. I heard a lot of "Crosby sucks" chants during the parts of the PIT games I saw, even the ones played in Montreal. Quote:
Wings fans feel like their team rarely gets the benefit of a favorable call and have to work harder than everybody else in every game. I think it actually helped them this season that the West had a handfull of higher ranked teams pretty much all season. It took some of the pressure off, as teams finally focused their energy elsewhere for a while. Quote:
Plus, who you gonna spend your cash on, the team that has been playing their best hockey in years and finally, finally made it to the playoffs for the first time in however long, or the team that gets there every year, but has a lesser squad than in years past and won't likely get past the other top teams in their conference? Anyway, here's hoping they push it to 6 tonight! (though I doubt they will) |

I give SJ the credit they deserve, they've been at the top of the west for much of the season. I told my brother if Detroit can get past the Sharks they'd make it to the finals. Blowing a 3-1 lead is not going to get it done, but playing like they did in game 4 will. Detroit has a long battle in front of them if they want to stay in this series. Do I think for a second SJ will lay down and let them have the series, no. Do I think Detroit has the ability to make a comeback and take the series, yes. It's only been done twice in history, but it can happen. This will be very interesting to see how this unfolds tonight in the Shark Tank. Go Wings!!!

Wow, 2 calls on the Red Wings already, but no tripping calls on SJ at all......hrmmmmmm. Seems like the only way SJ can win is getting 5 on 3's. Why can't they at least show the penalties after they are called?
Franzen scores 4 (or 5) goals last game, and has 2 penalties already. You can say us RW fans bitch and moan, but come on. If the Red Wings had that many 5 on 3's I think we'd be up in the series. |

Let me be the first to say congrats to the Sharks. Tough, hard fought series. I'm not going to complain about the refs for the loss. Their actions speak for themselves. Here's to hoping Chicago can go all the way and win the Cup.

DET didn't deserve a sweep and it kick enough SJS players in the ass to get them charged....also restored my faith in Nabby since he was able to bounce back so well last night.... now, if we could just stop SJS players from scoring in their own goal......
