Yeah, I hate to say it, but I never saw this coming. Anaheim's play, especially Giguere's, has surprised the hell out of me. 140 shots in 3 games is definitely not a weak performance by Detroit though. Giguere has just played friggin awesome. I don't care if you're Muhammad Imar Bruce Lee, nothing seems to get past that guy...



Other key to the reason the Wings have sucked ass....Curtis Joseph

Although his save % and GAA look OK, his play has been anything but acceptable. In the playoffs, a team needs a goalie that they have confidence in so they can take chances and know that their goalie will bail them out every once in a while. He needs to come up with a few big saves, stop ALL easy shots (not happening so far), and handle the puck carefully (DEFINITELY not happening!)

Giguere has done that for Anaheim and you can see how confident and balls out they have played. Their forechecking has been amazing and the reason for a good majority of their goals!

IMHO, we'd (the wings that is) would be better off throwing Legace in for game 4, if for nothing else than giving the Ducks a new look. It is painfully obvious that they have figured out Cujo's weaknesses (which are too many to list here IMO). It is also painfully obvious that Detroit's D has absolutely no faith in Cujo, Lidstrom and Schneider have both been reluctant to join the rush and without our strong offensive defenseman, we are no better than any other team in the playoffs....offensively speaking.

OK, rant off, only for the reason that it is pissing me off to think about this series and how badly Detroit is getting handled
