Can if he wants, but I'll just argue against him.

Yeah, it's likely that was part of the problem... though it certainly made the loss much easier to deal with. Oh well... I say next year, we rematch again, best of 3!

With a healthy Lidstrom and Datsyuk.

And a healthy Cleary and Rafalski too.

After hearing that Rafalski has a herniated disc, I'm amazed the guy was even skating.

Gonchar was playing with a partially torn MCL. (Just saying, not trying to start a debate)

Some warriors out there. Stanley Cup is the hardest to earn in all of sports. Not really even a contest..

Petr Sykora and Sergei Gonchar sure as hell weren't healthy. Gonchar got hurt on a cheap shot by Ovechkin, missed some games and was no means 100% for the Wings. Sykora missed game seven in Detroit and Crosby got hurt during game, playing two shifts the last 30 minutes of play.

No one was saying Pittsburgh wasn't playing with hurt players.

This is the Red Wings thread, you know, where we discuss the Red Wings. I wasn't making excuses and I don't think dragard was either.

You're saying you wouldn't want a rematch with both teams with their stars healthy?

[jimotis4heisman]

is this where i point out its hockey, you play hurt unless youre a euro pansy visor wearer like

[dragurd]

Well in Lidstrom's case it was a freak injury that I'm surprised he could skate with. The rest are sort of expected in the game.

Pffft. At least he had the guts to skate to the bench. That pussy Malarchuk just stayed there on the ice.

I will be honest. I wouldnt shed a tear if the wings never made the playoffs again. I am so sick of them, they are startin to remind me of ND back in the day. all you hear about when someone mentions hockey is the damn wings. If any other team had 15 year all stars on their team, they would do the same thing

Although unlike in ND's case, the Wings have cashed a couple more opportunities in during the streak

Well right, I didnt mean as far as sucessful championships go. Really meant the fact that people wont shut up about them, and I wanna punch every bandwagon jumping fan that I see
