GAME 4 - NSH @ DET - APR 17 GDT

Shocking result.

Honestly not trying to rub it in Wings fans, but I am stunned that Nashville managed to take both at the Joe with how good Detroit was at home this year.

It's quite difficult to avoid very high quality scoring opportunities for your opponents be handed on a silver platter, when you've got a guy like Kronwall, who thinks that his sideline job is to play police investigator and chase every suspect on skates all over the ice. He even has some of the other dmen with him at times when he calls for backup, as was the case oin that first goal yesterday. And to think that some of the fans of the Wings actually refer to him as Nick Jr. That, to me, is an insult to #5's reputation. He's not remotely close to Nick's ability. For one thing, Kronwall can't think; he's not very bright; but, I guess the same cn be said for others on this team, like Homer, Hudler, and Abby. That, actually, is a necessary requirement on any team to be consistently successful, especially when things must get ramped up, as they must be in the playoffs, which, at times, it's difficult to distinquish between the Wings energy level in the regular season from that of the playoffs. But, to be fair, when trying to compare the intellect of some of these guys on this team to that of Pavel, there is quite a bit of space on a IQ chart for most of them from where his score must be; and, that shows whenever he's on the ice because he makes his decisions in what appears to be milliseconds.

Why do I have this awful feeling that despite all the pressure we put on Nashville, the Preds will score the first goal off a freak bounce?

Like I figured, its all because of that damn bird...

For now on, no more posting without adult supervision. :p

Hey, Higgy, would you happen to be going to the game on Friday? My daughter and her husband are driving over from Memphis to see the game. She's purely a Wings fanatic. She'll occasionally be hollering out some chants that the homefolks won't take too kindly to. I'm just hoping that she doesn't drop any four-lettered bombs on the yeehaws.

No, I was hoping to but can't swing the cash right now. We might drive down to Nashville and watch it at a sports bar and stay the night down yonder, we haven't decided yet.
