Red Wings game

Obviously a nightmare.

Sykora, Prospal were both +1. Ozolinsh, Fedorov, Lupul and Sauer were even. Everyone else was minus, Krog leading the way with a mind-boggling -5, and Havelid was -4, bringing him I believe to -17 on the season, which is close to the worst in the league if not the worst.

Small consolation: Chelios was -1. Very small consolation. Oh and The Tony scored, T-Mart, Soprano Boy, he needs a nickname.

Positives...? A shakeup in order maybe. Maybe Havelid will sit, now. It makes me so sad that the team was better with Kariya, Oates, Thomas and Chouinard than it is with Prospal, Fedorov, Lupul, and Johnson.

Nightmare. Well at least your prediction almost came true. 7-2. An a** whipping.

And TM did score. He already has as many goals as Sammi-the-non-finisher Pahlsson, and one more than Chistov (hey, I got it right, no dyslexic fingers this time!).

This is depressing. When can we start the wine and cheese party in the cellar?

I bailed at 4-0. I'm a weak-willed, simpering fool.

Well, this was it. We finally had the collapse we were on the verge of for so long. Now we see where we go from here.

Yup the writing was on the wall. The Ducks couldn't get wins against struggling teams like Minnesota, Nashville (who has been playing well lately, but not when the Ducks played them), Columbus, and struggled against Phoenix and Chicago. Now tonight is what happens when they come up against a very good team. Can't wait until they play Vancouver. Whoopee.

anybody else think there will be a change? I know its not a must, but BM will not let this team go to *****, especially now that were 5th i beleive in highest payroll. BM is not scared to make changes, and i beleive one is coming soon. i think a push for comrie will come, i dont think he will make a stupid move, but i think he wont be afraid to give up something big to shake things up. hopefully he doesnt overreact tho.

I didn't get to see Martensson's goal...I'm sure he didn't feel like celebrating with the way the score was. But was his first goal nice at least?

If it makes you feel any better Oilers are doing just as bad, so you shouldn't be in a disadvantageous bargaining position if you swing a deal.

Talk about going full circle.. first game ever against detroit 7-2.. this game 7-2.. I really am glad I had to work late and missed this one..

let this be a wake up call for the ducks..if this doesnt wake them up then something hased to do

Not really. A shot from the blue line that was going wide until it banked off a Wing and went in.

But he played well. Comparatively.

I heard Simpson beat the **** out of some guy in the fight, maybe thats a positive :dunno: but id rather see him play better defensively.

He landed about 4 punches to the face of Darryl Bootland that had him trying to hide his face. Gave him a cut.

He also put a huge check on Devereaux, but this is stuff that should have been happening from the drop of the puck, not when we're out of the game.

I didn't see much in the way of aggression from him until we were out of it, but I agree that he didn't make too many mistakes.

Havelid and Salei were the biggest culprits tonight.

...okay.

Well, the positives from this game are
[list]
Simpson beats the feces out of Bootland
Fedorov scores a goal
Martensson's first NHL goal
Simpson gets Devereaux in the train tracks...and delivers!


But, other than that, the game pretty much sucked.

Well I like Mike Keenan -type of hockey, if you're getting your ass kicked on the scoreboard, make sure you atleast kick some ass on the ice. Send a message that we don't like this ****.

Yes and no. I liked the way Simpson played. But, there's a fine line between "sending a message" and just being a sore loser.

In hockey there's no such thing as 'sore loser'. Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser.

I don't agree with that.

Any team is going to lose games. If you lose the game, look at what your team could have done better. I don't see how running around beating people up makes you a better team.

I'll give you 3 of those 4.

Bootland has had a cut on his nose for about a week now. He got it while celebrating his first goal.
Kris Draper accidentaly hit him on the bridge of his nose with his helmet, opening up a nasty gash there.

The blood was from the cut on his nose being reopened, but I'll award the win to Simpson, but just barely. It was a much closer fight than people here make it out to be.

There's a great Guided by Voices song called "I'm a Big Fan of the Pig Pen"...I think Bob Pollard was referring to a different pigpen however

Please. I don't need you to "give me" 3 out of 4. I'm taking 4 out of 4. To say the fight was close is like me saying the game was close. The Red Wings handed the Ducks their ass in the score. But Simpson kicked Bootland's booty. No two ways about it.
