2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[SabresRule]

The Bullin wall has been like that all season.

And to think, when he first came to Chicago, Khabibulin looked like a bad signing...

There we go 2-1, big goal by Frazen!!! number 2 tonight!!

Lot of hockey left, but good start

I for one, thought it was a GREAT signing for them.

Franzen has, IMO, the funniest nickname in sports.

I know he's a good player- see his one-man dominance of the Avs in last year's playoffs- but "The Mule?!" :haha:haha

There is a story behind it, but I don't remember it at the moment.

Wings were very sloppy in the first half of the 1st period ... passes were going nowhere, behind people and all over the place.
They seem to be more in sync in the second so far.

 

[Jimbo]

Wings score late in the 2nd period , take a 3-2 lead.

This is the same point that they took over the game the other night.
The controlled the end of the second and the third period the other night , but still lost.

 

[Jimbo]

And one on the power play :up

Hossa with two late goals !!!

4-2 Wings

 

[Jimbo]

An odd thing is happening in this game ...

Perry for the Ducks have both Duck goals.

Franzen has 2 and Hossa has 2 for the Wings ...

Deuces wild ???

The unthinkable has happened- Hiller got pulled.

I don't think Carlyle wanted to chance losing his stug goaltender if it got any worse.
And Gigure played well when he came in.

Big wins by Chicago and Detroit this evening! I didn't see much of the Chi-Van game, but I did see the Blackhawks come from behind for the victory. The Wings were skating circles around the Ducks in the 2nd and 3rd periods - it looked like Anaheim's big lineup was tired. I just looked up the box scores and the Wings have outshot the Ducks 185-121 in this series. Yikes! Anyway, Games 5 should big HUGE as the home ice advantage changes once again.

I was really surprised it happened.

(Also, I wonder why in the world didn't San Jose attack the net like that in their series?)

I hope Chicago wins it... We need to seal the deal on this one, Like now.

I'd be cool watching a Wings vs. Hawks conference finals

Could get interesting between Bob & I.

The wings / Ducks series has been everything that I would be. This still ends with the Wings on top in 6.

Where you been at????? I've been missing your pie hole thru all of this!

WHEW! I am all black and blue and I haven't even been in one game.

Wings definitely have the advantage going home. However, going home tied is a helluva lot different than going home up one.

I need to take a nap....

Computer, actually the connection, was down. BTW, I'm not going to complain about the errant whistle 2 games ago. The Wing's shouldn't have put themselves in the position for a referee to change the game in the first place.

Anyhow, this series has been everything that makes the Stanley Cup playoffs so exciting. Physical to say the least, but my Wings haven't backed down.

That is the proper way to view it. A team should always play good enough to absorb calls out of their hands.
