Comments on: Avs – Wings: So Much For Pride, Mr. Theodore http://jerseysandhockeylove.com/blog/2008/05/01/avs-wings-so-much-for-pride-mr-theodore/ Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:24:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Tapeleg http://jerseysandhockeylove.com/blog/2008/05/01/avs-wings-so-much-for-pride-mr-theodore/comment-page-1/#comment-33022 Tapeleg Sat, 03 May 2008 14:15:55 +0000 http://jerseysandhockeylove.com/blog/?p=929#comment-33022 HC - It should have been more competitive, and I still believe that the Avs had the potential to give the Wings more of a run for their money than the Flames had. That is, until the great goalie meltdown of 2008. Cupster - probably Cochy - Yeah, a preview button. This place sucks!!! ;) But again, a few asses making the fan base look bad, and sports fans who like to pounce are a common problem these days.

I know that game had to be hard to watch for Avs fans. I remember in 97 sitting in McNichols and watching the Wings get shelled in Game 5, ugh, that was so hard. As I said over on Mile High Hockey, I'm glad the Avs did not goon it up last night and finished out the game without incident. It is just too bad that injuries had to play such a big part in this series. As much as I enjoyed the series win by the Wings, I was disappointed that it was not a more competitive series.

The Avs were tired, and showed a lack of depth. For all the depth that the Versus people, and others, thought they had, they had no solution when Forsberg went out. But considering the drastic amount of injuries, they were getting ready to dip into ECHL players, so I'm not sure how many teams have that kind of depth. Dewman - I don't put all Wings fans into the same camp. Take a look at comment #5 in this post. And while I have no idea where you live, if you have been to a Wings - Avs game in Denver, the rivalry is still going in the stands. And I'm sure it still goes on in the Detroit stands also. There are classless fans on either side of the aisle, I agree, but the classy ones are rarely the loudest. After an 8-2 ass kicking, it's very hard to take a fan from the other team stopping by for a little ribbing and condolences. I think I do a pretty good job of sorting out the BS from the discussion. As far as riots, after spending six weeks in Detroit this winter, I'm not sure if you could tell the difference. ;) (that's a little joke) But I remember there being some mild rioting, or more like idioting, in Denver when the Broncos won the Super Bowl. Of course, it didn't go far, since everyone got tired out from the lack of oxygen. Molson – True that. The Avs were tired, and showed a lack of depth.

As an Avs fan it shouldn't matter who you lose to or beat. It sucks to lose to anyone, at least you lost to a good team instead of losing to a crap team like Minnesota or Nashville. Its time for the Wings/Avs rivalry to die, or start over with new players. The teams are not the same as before and are not at the same level. The reason the rivalry was so heated years ago was that they were equally the two best teams in the league for 5-7 years. Its just not the same right now. Don't put all Wings fans in the same category as those who post stupid moronic trash talking. We all know if the tables were turned a couple thousand Avs fans would do the same thing because thats what classless fans do. ALL teams have the classeless fans and the Wings are no exception. The Avs are not an exception either. But I do believe one thing both Avs and Wings fans can agree with is that there won't be any riots in Denver or Detroit this year or ever for their hockey team, while the same can't be said in the hockey Mecca of Montreal.

They played with real intensity the first three games and come up empty. Last night was like they had already given up when they hit the ice. I think that Budaj should have been given the nod to start. Look at Hasek, he would go through some brain farts and finally Osgood was given a chance to start, and look where there at. But no matter what, I think Colorado was out gunned from the start. You have Z and Datsyuk tearing it up and then Franzen has been a man on a mission for the last two months. Its hard to slow a team like that who has so many options right now. The wings are deep and thats what carrying them. No major injuries except for Maltby and the ones who were injured became available right when the playoffs started. I don't see anyone in the West being able to keep the Wings from getting to the finals but the East post the best bet in giving the Wings all they can handle.
