Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn!
So lets see the series so far in the west has gone 1-1, 2-1, 2-2 the wings were down 1-2 and battled back. I think its a little early for any gloom and doom posts regarding any team. Just like the last time when you posted some speculation and were proved wrong. Dont worry about old stats as they reflect teams that are different with different players. Some of the players from the past teams you are discussing are friggin dead I believe, but hey whatever.

Same thing I have been telling you all year. The crest on the front doesnt change, the players do and past teams success dont mean current success. Hence the Wings troubles this year. Also demonstrated by your series with the Yotes being dead even and the Yotes having home ice advantage. They dont have a good playoff history but are doing just fine against a team with an amazing history of playoff success and have a good chance to win the series. Why is that? Because the players on the teams not the crest on the front are ancient history. This is not the the wings of mid 2000s this is 2010 and many of those guys are gone.

That said I am starting to have a few concearns about the Hawks.
The key games in a series are listed as 3 and 5. All three of our teams have lost game 3. Just as the Wings and Sharks bounced back so can the Hawks and I think they will.

As to the crowd at the Joe never settling down. No really, you lead the whole game and they never settled down? Where as the game you lost and trailed a fair amount they were quiet?

On the Sharks. Nice to see Pavs come up clutch AGAIN! Nabby had a good game. Avs definetly stood up more to the Sharks and didnt get pushed around as much. Will make games 5-6 and possibly 7 very interesting. This series I think just might go the distance. I think the Wings Yotes may also go the distance. Both series the momentum keeps going back and forth. Its a chess match.

Have faith Tom.
