Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests One win away for the Wings!!!!

Looks like they will be hoisting the Cup at home!

That third goal was a thing of beauty, sweet-ass pass by Federov.

The Caines lost their spirit tonight. It's over.

And, big props to the Dominator. Damn, I have a heart attack sometimes when he comes WAY out for the puck, but he is not getting the credit he deserves for these playoffs. 6 SHUTOUTS. 'Nuff said.

Not that I'm a Red Wings fan in any way, but you could tell throughout the whole playoffs that they were going to win it. Even when they went down 2-3 to the Avs and had to play Game 6 in Denver, you didn't count them out. There is far too much talent, experience, and history on that team to settle for anything less than the Cup this year.

I think Hasek is way underrated, and that Roy is overrated. Hasek has come up big in the big games. I remember on several occasions where Roy gave up a goal because of a lapse in basic technique. It's true that Hasek has a better supporting cast, and I'm not saying he is better than Roy, I just don't think Roy's shadow should be as dark as it is.

Roy is the more consistent fundamentally sound goalie. Hasek is extremely unorthodox but both are two of the top goalies ever. Granted, Roy has historically had a better supporting cast, but 4 cups is pretty amazing. On the other hand, Hasek bringing a pathetic Buffalo team within a few minutes of a Stanley cup is also amazing, as is the gold medal and the 6 Vezinas and 2 MVPs.

I am probably biased, but I would consider Hasek just a shade better than Roy because of the dramatic wins in addition to overall solid play. That puts him at #3 on my list of the best goalies ever behind Sawchuck and Tretiak (sp??). If Dom comes back and wins another cup with DRW, then he may pass Tretiak on my list.

That game last night was SWEET !!! Now on to Detroit & on to claim Lord Stanley's cup !!!!

*********** GO RED WINGS !!! ***********

Anyone see the cheap shot by Fisher late in the game? Made me ashamed to have him as a Red Wing (for a few minutes at least... ). GREAT game though, mucho action!

Yes, not very nice. I'll be suprised if that cheap shot isn't called up for review and that the league doesn't punish him in some way. Anyway, GO WINGS!

It was a bad play by Fisher. I didn't like to see it, but he is young and he will learn to be more patient.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Go Soviets!!

Now, if only I could get the $50 I won.

and balanced... like a latin guy with a pony tail who always knows when to say the right things.... and maybe play a little guitar

Fischer's cheap shot was reviewed - 1 game suspension, no fine. I'm not sure this is enough of a punishment.

Other than that, great game. Thursday night it's over, but it will be a tough game, the canes are solid and won't give up. Their lack of depth (stamina) will do them in.

If you didn't see the x-check and the play leading up to it, don't rip on my view - it was a totally unnessessary and cheap shot...
