when the wings won the cup in 2002 they were down 2-0 in their first round series and 1-0 in game 3 against vancouver when cloutier gave up a goal on a lidstrom 100 footer with like 10 seconds left in the 2nd period. changed the game, changed the series, changed the wings playoff run.

i remember cloutier saying it happened to the best of them, and me thinking, no it doesn't.

your f'n sharks look tough. then again, they better be. ha ha.

I remember that like it was yesterday. never trusted Clouts after it. glad he's gone. Shmucks vs Greasers tomorrow Whitey. I hear you had fun at 8 balls neighbours - rock the joint dude!

Is Hasek really 38th overall in save % in the league? That's crazy. Good thing Ozzy is in the top 10 I guess.


38th!?

Oh, hey, lookee that, Detroit clinched the Division with a shitty goalie on their roster.

It's not even about my hate for Detroit, It's about Hasek being 38th in the league. That just shocked me. Even at his age and as much as I bust on it.... he should be playing better than that. I predict he will retire for sure at the end of this season.


And to be fair the Wings won the division with not one, but two shitty goalies on the roster.

True that. If Ozzy can't improve against the screen, we're toast. He needs to step up and open his friggin' eyes.

meh. if everyone gets healthy again, we don't need a great goalie. it's all about limiting the shots they face. we won back to back cups with mediocre goaltending. as much as i hate osgood, he still has two championship rings.

the wings have won 50 games 3 straight years. they've won 3 cups in ten seasons. they have the best winning percentage in the past 10 years. they've made the playoffs 17 straight years. they got 100 points in 8 a record 8 straight seasons. they only had a great goalie in ONE of those seasons.

shit, i still believe we were a broken arm away from a cup last year.

the sharks may be coming, but the wings just gave 'em a little further to travel tonight.

Sharks vs Pens for the final.
