Hockey night in ... Motor City !!!!

[isawlogs]

  Seeing as some do not like it when a thread goes off to far , I am gonna start this one for the playoffs !!!!

"Quote from another thread "

Marcel, I was flipping around this a.m. during coffee and watched a little Mike and Mike on ESPN. They brought up the "every 33 years" things.

They were doing their morning predections for all the games (all sports) and Greeny made the prediction that the Stars would make a comeback. I think he is just wanting to look like a genius if it happens. I wish it would but I doubt it. I don't know who the Leafs did it against in 42, or who the Islanders did it against in 75, but I guarantee it was not a team as potent as the 2008 Detroit Redwings. It just ain't happening.
However, he DID bring up something I wasn't aware of . . . the Panguns are up on the Flyers 3-0!   yetserday when I mentioned the 33 year thing I was thinking the Flyers had won a home game. YOUR series has a MUCH better chance of fulfilling the 33 year rule. The Flyers have 3 times a better chance of beating the Panguns than the Stars do of coming back on the Redwings.

  Oh .. I get to watch both of the games , one is on every night ...  8)  Those Red Wings are on fire , there gonna be hard to stop by your Stars , gonna take the Pingouins to do that  ;D ( but would much rather have the stars in the finals I think they hit less and are a tad bit slower then the wings  ;D

  And how do you think that the Flyers are gonna do that ???  There defense is all broke up . There penalty killing is well killing them , even when they have a man advantage they are struglling , They do though have one hell of a goally , I would take him on my team anytime . He has kept them in the game more then once.

Roxie, when i was looking for the Pitt/Philly shcedule i ran across an article that said they last met in the 99 playoffs. Not that far back. You may remember, that is the year the Dallas Stars won the Stanley Cup.

  I thought they met also in 2001 ... Might not have been in the semi finals though ... Oh did I mention that I am hooting for the Pingouins  8) 8)

Go pingouins go 
      ;D ;D

Ok so I will just copy my response here - I can be a contrarian in more than one post  :D


Hmmmm,,,,the DeeeTroit Redwings......having served time lived in DaTroiit a couple of times in previous existances I might have to tune in an root for the homies.  

[Warbird]

It sure would be nice if the regular broadcast channels would play the games!  I am soooo frustrated by not being able to watch pro-hockey.  :( 

Although a couple of months ago, I did get to see my very first professional sporting event.  And it got to be hockey.  Watching the Ducks take on the Avalanche.  It was a pretty awesome game.  Ducks won it on a shoot-out at the end.

As for who my household is rooting for, for this years Stanley cup, it has to be the Redwings.  Sorry but the Mrs was born in MI and has lotsa family there. 

[Roxie]

NBC was scheduled to carry the game Saturday night.

[isawlogs]

[TexasTimbers]

Go pingouins WINGS FLYERS STARS!!!  

Period 3 . . . . . 5:26 to play . . .
Stars 3
Wings 1

8) 8) 8)

Ain't over yet but hey. Looking good. We might not get skunked!

[Fla._Deadheader]

Good game, even though Detroit got skinned with a bad call  ;D ;D

[Jeff]

I figured the Wings would give the stars one.

[isawlogs]

They played for nearly a minute 6Wings against 3Stars , and still did not find the net  :  I think the Wings is getting old and windy ... windless ...  ;D

[sawguy21]

The Wings looked sluggish, could not convert power plays including a five on three. The Stars are going to have to tighten up and stay out of the penalty box if they expect to continue. Detroit is normally too good.

[Roxie]

Go pingouins WINGS FLYERS  STARS!!!  GO!  

[isawlogs]

Go pingouinsWINGS FLYERS STARS!!! GO!!!

[Roxie]

Marcel, quit hogging the banner.  Your Pingouins are up three games.  The Flyers need it tonight. 

Go pingouins WINGS FLYERS  STARS!!!  GO!  

[isawlogs]

Go Flyers Go !!!!    play golf !!!!   ;D ;D

[TexasTimbers]

Marcel, the Stars penatly killing is usually among the league's best and often leads the the league.

Sometimes they act human though and look like the Flyers of last year. Hey man you have to hand it to those Flyers. Any team in any sport that goes from the WORST to the playoffs ther next year, that ain't disgraceful!

My prediction for tonight though:

Pangs 5 (at least one goal will be an empy netter)
Flies 2
:

Sorry Roxie those Tuxedo Men are gonna be on fire tonight and want to end this thing to get some rest before advancing to the finals to face the  ................


DALLAS  STARS !

The great 33 year comeback of 2008!!!!

8) 8) 8)

I reserve the right to eat crow if Dallas experiences FTCS again.

[isawlogs]

  I am hoping that the Flyers stay asleep till the Pingouins put um out to pasture    ;D
