May 4, 200421 yr Gotta love it! Let's go Flames! Let's go Flames! Let's go Flames! Earlier in the game, Darrien Hatcher had a clear elbowing penalty, yet no call. Detroit fans better never complain, ever... :fyou

May 4, 200421 yr whos the bruin fan here? Mathew and I are the only Bruins fans around here, they're still my favorite team but the Flames (specifically Miikka) have been such a great story all year I've been pulling for them too.
May 4, 200421 yr Mathew and I are the only Bruins fans around here, they're still my favorite team but the Flames (specifically Miikka) have been such a great story all year I've been pulling for them too. All about the underdogs in the playoffs for me. Plus no one likes the Octopusses...go Hawks!

May 4, 200421 yr Gola gola gola gola gola Gelinas is Mr. Clutch, first he tells the Nucks where to stuff it, now the Wings. Muh-muh-muh-MIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAA
May 4, 200421 yr so much jealousy very proud of the Wings - it was a very close series and the other team won - very proud of the Wings and praying Yzerman is ok
May 4, 200421 yr praying for Yzerman. I'll take what I can I have detested the Black Hawks all my life - Wirtz had his sell outs in the 50s and it was f*** you to the fans - letting Bobby Hull walk away - I live in a place where I fell in love with the in state team - the level of hockey fandom and hockey knowledge in this state is incredible - only time I ever wore nonSox gear to USCF was 2 years ago when the Wings won that Stanley Cup game in 18,000 overtimes every nonWings fan bashes the Wings for the team spending - which is a bulls*** agument really - if JR spent money the same way for the Sox and got the same results the bashers who are Sox fans would be orgasmic - these things go in cycles, I have seen dynasties come and go and bottom teams like the Wings rise up again and the current run of 3 in 8 (liked it more when it was 3 in 6) has been so much fun, in 96 and 97 as they were building up - I have so many Wings stories involving my friends, makes me smile - I had one frat boy delivery driver, Joe, at a sub shop I managed who had his earphones on whenever the Wings played - he'd make his subs, gather his orders, all without a word as he listened to the games and only delievered during breaks in the action so I sent him to frat houses and other places where I knew the game was on because they only wanted deliveries during the break in the action - everyone was happy, big tips abounded - then they got swept by New Jersey and it was crushing - but everyone got more determined for the next season. Wings tickets are tough to come by and the fan base is incredible and loyal and tomorrow everyone I see will be tired and talking about (aboot) the tough loss - that we are still this truly competitive 2 yars after the last Cup is a joy we didn't expect and Wings gear sells very well out here, redandwhite, you want a Wings shirt, I got one for you - We aren't crushed, just sad, and proud, and pray for Yzerman and trust the right reloading moves will be made; Calagary played well and it went their way in a cleanly skated series and its been a while for them even winning a series so the former Atlanta team is having theior glory tonight and we skate away proud after an overtime 1-0 loss without our leader. This series was as close as close can be (2 1-0 ot games, right?) and we'll be back and good luck to the Flames in the next round- will hey be getting the Avs or San Jose?
May 4, 200421 yr Personally, I'm bummed out. Congrats to the Flames, they played a GREAT series, but for me it's now all about the Eastern Conference. The Western Conf. Finals are completely uninteresting to me now from a cheering standpoint. Now I'm hoping for JR, Amonte and the Flyers to win the Cup if they get past the Leaf series, and I want the Lightning to raise the Cup aloft if Toronto beats Philly to advance. Looks like the "window of opportunity" for this Wings team just slammed shut. It'll be interesting to see what they look like after the work stoppage, because a significant number of the current Wings are probably too long in the tooth to return after a full season off.
May 4, 200421 yr I have detested the Black Hawks all my life - Wirtz had his sell outs in the 50s and it was f*** you to the fans - letting Bobby Hull walk away - I live in a place where I fell in love with the in state team - the level of hockey fandom and hockey knowledge in this state is incredible - I agree with the 2nd half of each of the above statements.
May 4, 200421 yr Being a hockey fan for lots and lots of years, I always admire Detroit for their "go-get em" attitude when it comes to assembling a team to win. They truely are the "Yankees" of hockey, and that's why they are hated so. Stevie Y. He's the TRUE definition of determination. I admire him more then 95% of the players out there today and I agree, hopefully we see him play on the ice again. But let's face it. Calgary played their ass off, and are to be commended. I actually am pulling for them over any team that's left simply because if they win, THEY prove the small market can still work in the NHL.
