[Chris 84]

apparently the refs won it for us. no, ducks fans, sorry, but your players stupidity, and in particular that dirty clown souray helped win it for us.

Does Babcock think that timeouts gain cash value if you hold onto them or something? Did I miss him calling it? I don't understand.

Didn't he call it after an icing in the third?

 

[kuick]

Look at Goose's shiner in this post-game interview. Dang.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

My 'prove your worth' avatar seems more like a prophecy fulfillment now.

Mission Accomplished!

 

[Bench]

I actually just broke my chair and threw my shoulder out.

I like your style.

 

[RedWingzz]

Filppula deserves 5 mil a year now because of that dirty toe drag. I woke up my whole household yelling there. What a finish haha. I can now relax again. wwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[bullocks]

Everyone's givin nyquist props but that play was all filpulla 90% of players shoot that right into the d man wow

 

[Gavin24]

i woke up the neighbourhood wow. what a finish

 

[Flowah]

Pretty awesome to see the Wings score 5. Pretty disappointing they allowed 4. But that's all that counts in the end.

If this was game 7 of the SCF, sure. That's all that matters.

But this is only game 2. And it points to big problems throughout our lineup. We won here, but our D is getting seriously exposed. Howard let in two softies. Several of our forwards are just not up to snuff or only show up for one shift a game or some other garbage.

Just big problems all around.

 

[Bench]

Whatever, not worth my time. This team played gutless hockey and left him out to dry. I don't care. I'm done for the night.

No use bickering about a win. Howard could have been better, but the team 3rd period effort was pretty bad, too. End of the day, the offense carried the load to a win, so commence the high fives.

 

[Flowah]

Man, I was in the freaking bathroom and they of course finish it early in OT. I need to see this goal....

 

[Sameheda]

So we scored within the first 1:21 of each period...

1st - 0:48
2nd - 1:04
3rd - 0:20
OT - 1:21

That's insane.

 

[bullocks]

I've watched that goal about 5 times holly **** so sweet

 

[Fine young man]

That game sure got the heart pumping. Incredible atmosphere in Anaheim.

Howard had a bad game but they still won this one. He usually recovers well tough, predicting a good game for him at the JLA.

 

[crashman]

Howie let in 1 soft goal, but the ducks took over that 3rd period. They hung him out to dry.

 

[Sameheda]

Man, I was in the freaking bathroom and they of course finish it early in OT. I need to see this goal....

Haha, I had to piss SO BAD at the beginning of OT but I had this funny feeling that we'd score on the PP. Glad I waited and nearly pissed myself from joy.

Who starts a poop with OT looming?

Ugly wins still count. They don't get extra points for winning it clean. One game at a time. Every great playoff run has some ugly wins.

Am I disappointed with the 3rd period effort? Yes. But they showed they can hang with the Ducks, got a win, and it's time to look forward to game 3.

Besides, your post failed to mention 5 goals from the offense. And that the powerplay actually produced. Franzen played great. Abdelkader was strong at both ends. You can take away some good things from this, too.

 

[PullHard]

NYQUIST EXPLOSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
