Round 2 - Detroit Vs. Anaheim

pronger is going to the box he is getting dirty ... good chance for the wings to snag a late goal and swing momentum in their favour for the end of the period

Ducks almost got a shortie there... heh heh.

I don't understand why Babs is playing Cheli instead of Meech...this game is being played exactly to the Duckies' liking.

PS shots 12-9 advantage Anaheim.

W/O Rafalski IMHO the Ducks have a major edge on D and on the PP.

I love the comments comparing him to how he was 10 years ago... suggesting that his infractions these days are "Lady Byng'ish" compared to back in the day.

EDIT: And SHABBS hits the 3000 post mark!

on the teemu goal there was no way that chelios was going to catch him either maybe a younge d would have a little better chance...not much because Teemu has some quick wheels

PS the Ducks have put their checking line of Marchant, Rob Niedermayer and Drew Miller against Dats, Zetts, Hossa...

PPS Pronger...name me a coach in the NHL who would not want him on their blueline. More intimidating than Chara IMHO...and probably better overall. A deceptively good skater and VERY smart in managing time and space.

Plus he whacks you until you cry Uncle.

chelois played a whopping 67 seconds in the first period

...and got beaten badly on the Selanne goal...

From what I can see in the Gamecast, the Wings are essentially playing only 4 d-men...Lidstrom, Kronwall, Stuart, Ericsson...

This can't be a good thing for Detroit...the Ducks have Pronger, Nieds, Wisniewski, Beauchemin, Whitney and Brookbank in their rotation.

yeah the wings are going withmainly 4 guys and after the lengthy game last game these guys have already got to be dog tired

ducks to the pp

ducks score on the powerplay and by the way they are playing tonight that just might be enough

A flock of Ducks overwhelms the Wings...

:****: :****: :****: :****: :****: :****: :****:

wings dont have it together tonight they are completely outplayed by the ducks so far

Wings are just letting the Ducks in their zone... very odd to see that...

Well...after all we are watching the 07 Stanley Cup Champs Vs the 08 Stanley Cup Champs.

This is a textbook matchup of how hockey should be played.

And SCOTT NIEDERMAYER!!!

the wings look like a very tired team tonight they are going to have to play chelios and the other d man a bit more to give the rest of the d a little bit more of a rest

Wings to the PP.

some great pressure there by the wings ducks take a penalty

datsyuk has been the best wing tonight by far

Wiz looks hurt bad...
