Excellent analysis, Admiral... I think you are dead on. The skill of the Red Wings in the neutral zone necessitates the dump and crash. Hope the Hawks can execute tonight... you know I am pulling for Ladd. :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Thanks Joe....I think the Hawks know it is the only way they can win. Doesn't mean they will win, just will give them a chance. Hopefully the skill players listen to Q and don't try to finesse a team that they cannot out-finesse. :)

Go wings!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

1-1 after one period. Almost a replay of game one 1st period. Now we will see if the Wings can turn it up a notch like last game.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Let's hope so

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Good game tonight. Hopefully the Wings can pull it out in OT.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

3-2 Detroit Wins!!!!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

What a great goal to end the game. He had no chance with the 3-1.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

No chance at all. Samuelson just buried it.

Predicted the Hawks would make it tighter. That was to tight. Osgood came up huge in this game.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Osgood is definately the MVP for the Wings.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

At this point in the playoffs I would definitly agree. Been rock solid.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Lets go Canes!!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:tpd: Thanks, Al! :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

If it comes down to Canes Wings I gotta go with Wings and support Jr. He has been a Wing fan his entire life.

Lot of hockey left before we get to that point!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Campbell made a poor play that led to the 3-1 that won the game for Detroit. Campbell is defending the backhand, cross-the-blue-line pass saying "I would do it again 100 times...I can make that play."

What an asswipe....maybe he can make it again Friday and Sunday so the Hawks can get swept.

Congrats to the Wings for capitalizing on their opportunities ......

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Got a ticket for Game 3 in Chicago....hoping to bring them a little "Hog Luck", haven't been to a loss at the U.C. yet this season. :)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I'd wish you luck Tom but you know I'd be lying!:D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I know. ;) :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

You could have spent that money on something better like cigars than to see your hawks lose :)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:r Sorry Tom :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Bite me. ;)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I do like pork :) Just kidding have a good time

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Me too....just need a win, Jon! :r

P.S......the ticket was free. :wo

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

ONe of my fav. sayings is if its for free its for me

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

In all honesty, I would have paid $200 for a $65 seat....Karma just brought me good luck this time. :)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

C'mon, Blackhawks! Win one (or four) for the Hog!!! :ss

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Go Canes! Want them to stretch that series out if not win outright. Sure hope Cole and Ruutu can play. Tough enough order even with them in the lineup.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Lets go Canes! Give Crosby a reason to cry!:tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Just got home from the shop to see the Pens score 2 quick goals. 6-4 Pens.:mad:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Only good thing that happened tonight was Ovie got player of the year.


I wonder if jackoff asked the refs to make an announcement to stop throwing hats on the ice after Malkins hat trick? :hm

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

7-4. So much for Ward and his steller goaltending.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

You guys see Malkins third goal? That was just f'ing sick! One of the top shots of the year in my book.

Congrats on the win Kevin!

Sorry Joe. :(

GO WINGS!! :dance:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Question is...will the Penguins win it all?

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Yeah. Canes looked good in the first period but couldn't finish. Malkin had our number.

Oh, well. I can't make game 3 but will be at the RBC for game 4 on Tuesday. Go Canes!!!

btw--got some great winnings from ahbroody on our bruins-canes duel. Will post a pic when I can :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Oh man, I hope not. Just thinking about Cindy skating around with the cup makes me want to :pu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:tpd: X's a bazillion!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:r

looks to me like it may be Wings/Pens final again. Except this time we have Hossa. I'm sure that losing their 2nd or 3rd best player (althought best in last years finals) to the Wings won't hurt their chances...;)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

That's AWESOME Tom! I'm not gonna wish your team luck but I know that win or lose you'll have a great time at the game :tu


I'll be watching from my fave sports bar tonite after work

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I think I saw Tom tonight...He had a scowl on his face...oh wait thats what everyone looked like after the Red Wings scored their 3rd goal in less than five minutes

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

You got one tonight but thats it no more!!....I blame Tom!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Go pens!!!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I generally blame Tom for most things....including world hunger and the clap.


It was a great game last nite no matter who you were rooting for. Both teams played their heart out and the mixture of skill, speed, pure aggression and heart was evident.

Good win Tom. But that's the last one you guys get :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I found periods 1, 2 and overtime good, but period 3 was a snoozefest imo - decent game but not awesome like the other 2

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I have nothing to do with World hunger, Dustin. ;) :r

A win tomorrow would make it a best of three....but Havlay and Khabibulin look to both be out. I can onloy hope Pavel's foot still hurts, and Nik gets some gonnoreah tonight. :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Ouch, I hope Havlat is going to be ok. He played so well this season and stayed healthy for most of it.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Hawks website says Coach Q is optomistic that Havlat will play Sunday. Hard to believe.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I am not worried. I think we broke khabibulin though there is no coming back from what happen the second period
