Besides a few moments of brilliance, he was invisible, or visibly floating around the ice like he used to do in Vancouver.Sean Zandberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367951232268606248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31097487.post-29141940286038964432007-05-24T05:14:00.000-07:002007-05-24T05:14:00.000-07:00Hey careful with the racist comments towards Ameri...Hey careful with the racist comments towards Americans.

It's true. Oh yes, it's true.<BR/><BR/>I have been reading some pieces by Detroit writers and most miss the point, defending the Wings too much and praising the Ducks too much.<BR/>I think Lidstrom capped Detroit's inability the best post game when he said: <BR/>“For whatever reason, we got too rattled. We were getting too rattled out there. We wanted to do a whole lot, but instead of just doing our jobs we were trying to do too much, and that backfired on us. We were trying to do each other’s jobs out there, instead of just focusing on what we have to do individually. We were running around too much.”<BR/><BR/>Mike Babcock called it "inability to execute".Sean Zandberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367951232268606248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31097487.post-25504626926402466402007-05-23T17:59:00.000-07:002007-05-23T17:59:00.000-07:00I'm just saying that I don't like Anaheim's effort...I'm just saying that I don't like Anaheim's effort recently. It's definitely not a 60-minute effort and as well, they are taking way too many damned penalties! Ottawa will bury them if they do that.<BR/><BR/>Just think, Anaheim's win in Game 6 was less to do with their strong play than it was Detroit's inability to show up! I mean, 13 shots after 2 periods in an elimination game? Pathetic!!<BR/><BR/>Hey, if the Ducks put out better efforts in the Finals, then I stand corrected.<BR/><BR/>I don't like your regular season stats because the playoffs are a whole different picture. Sorry, dude.<BR/><BR/>If the Ducks do win the Cup, I won't even mind much. I like that team. And if it angers Oiler fans that Pronger hoists the Cup, well...that's even better!<BR/>Aside from that though, I do want the Cup to land on canadian soild for once, and not in the damned Hockey Hall of Fame either!Sean Zandberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367951232268606248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31097487.post-78313301134652746292007-05-23T15:46:00.000-07:002007-05-23T15:46:00.000-07:00Aw, Zanstorm, you are betraying your blog name, ar...Aw, Zanstorm, you are betraying your blog name, aren't you all about waiting for Stanley?<BR/><BR/>As for projections, I'm not sure how you stack these teams up--the east and west are such separate universes this year. Who knows how Ottawa would have fared against MIN / VAN / DET (combined 694 GF, 572 GA) or how Anaheim would have fared against PIT / NJD / BUF (combined 770 GF, 647 GA)?<BR/><BR/>It's going to be all academic until G1.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.com
