Oh man, this is going to be a blast. My buddy Dan (–who sent me the team picture on the previous post, happy now?–) asked if the Senator blogger’s were going to be like the Red Wings. Now, I really didn’t seek out anyone last series, I just sit back and do my own thing and let things come to me. But I was curious, so I took a gander at what a Senators blog might be saying, a confident group I must say.

Their first 2 series were forgone conclusions and almost impossible to watch. I thought the Wings lost that series more than the Ducks won it.

Then some argument about how Zetterburg and Datsyuk each had six points and flew around the ice uncontested. They have played better forwards in Buffalo and in Pittsburgh and the Ducks powerplay is mediocre. The Ducks hit early, but not late in games and not for a whole series. And Carlyle is as a good a coach as Niedermayer, Pronger and Giguere.

Objection! - Sustained! - Your honor?!? - What counselor?

The Penguins and Devils weren’t exactly awesome competition either. Detroit’s studs scored on the powerplay for 150% of their points, free roaming I think not. Buffalo may be deeper as far as all around 1-4 lines, but yea right, who has been as talented and as sized as the PPG line? I am not sure what to say about the powerplay line, I think the Senators should take some penalties and test that one out. I wont even talk about the physicality of the Ducks, that was just stupid to say that. As for Randy Carlyle, whatever, that one will be determined when this series is all over and Ottawa got a sniff at winning more then one game.

We have too many days now to sit at our desks or on the couch and bitch at each other about how kick ass our respective teams are and how much the other team sucks. I can not wait to hear the jokes about Disney, cartoons, video games, the movies and the market that the Ducks play in. We already know that California is not a hockey market, we don’t give a damn, that, along with the Coach Bombay jokes are over ten years old. I fell like I am in junior high hearing ‘Yo Momma’ jokes, oh snaps, heard that one before.

Believe this though, the series wont even be close. Ray Emery isn’t half of any of the three goalies the Ducks just roasted.

Get Over It

My god, I say one thing that doesn’t praise the Red Wings and people attack. I actually only said that they lost because ‘”hey couldn’t get it done” when it counted the most. I thought they played an incredible series against the Ducks, facing all the adversity they had and really made this more of a series then I thought it was going to be. I have said that so many times throughout the series and I am tired of it, Red Wings fans just don’t get it, so who cares anymore, Detroit lost and now it is all over. Unlike people who swarmed here (a post that was from before the blowout game just so they could get their licks in) the second game three was over and then trashed my post regarding the actual game with all their Red Wings Own propaganda, I made a simple, true statement about what the author had posted.

All the trash talking, all of it and now nothing. A bunch of high school kids I say. Every time the Ducks sucked, I said it and put them down further, though only in my own little world of being a fan. I’ve heard from some people that I am not objective on here, I actually think I am. Sorry I don’t cheer for the other team when they play the Ducks, maybe I should start doing that, will that help?

Thank you to the good Red Wings fans, I know you are not all tools, Paul and RocketRob were very good commenters. Some others were objective at times, but for the most part they all came here and talked shit, but they are utterly silent today, hiding in their troll dens. I don’t care to argue the point or say that the Ducks kicked the Red Wings ass, I just don’t get why everyone bitches and then can’t simply say that the team they cheer for lost. I know I was fully prepared for it given how the Ducks played. So no flame wars.
