Any chance he can take some face-offs while he is here?"<BR/><BR/>Hilarious post. Carbonneau was legendary in the circle. I can remember a line from Modano years ago about how Guy helped him improve in that area so much. The players know how key each draw is and it's a let down to leave the circle w/o possession.<BR/><BR/>C'mon Guy - suit up for old time's ssake.

The Stars can do this, they just have to get back to where they were early in the San Jose series. Like Bob said, the offense has struggled mightily now for the last 5 or 6 games, and that has to end starting in Game 3.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04831137936388404022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-60252968882278368972008-05-11T20:36:00.000-05:002008-05-11T20:36:00.000-05:00Um...yeah, what Osgood did was worse.

At that point in the game (which was over), it was uncalled for.<BR/><BR/>Its a moot point now, both guys fined, so let's move on.<BR/><BR/>Not sure about the point of the Stars not being aware of Detroit's injuries in February. I can't recall how bad they were, but I certainly recall the Stars not having Zubov, Boucher, and Lehtinen for extended periods of time. And in the playoffs, Boucher, Zubov, Barnes, and perhaps Lehtinen again.

And that wasn't called.<BR/><BR/>As for the Wings not having any adversity, the Stars fans would not have been aware of all the injuries they had during Feb, when they couldn't win a game. Babcock, Holland and most of the guys have said that that strech of games was what they needed. They were dominating the league to the point that they were on cruise control, and playing all the younger guys and having to fight through that made them the team they are now. <BR/><BR/>These are not the Wings of 05 and 06.love johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421390249117056672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-72479553041450785632008-05-11T17:21:00.000-05:002008-05-11T17:21:00.000-05:00Stars are still very much alive.

Nashville did it to the Wings in Round 1. I realize that Hasek was in net as the time and that the Preds eventually lost the series, but an 0-2 deficit does not necessarily mean a done deal.<BR/><BR/>As far as the Ribeiro/Osgood ordeal, because both should and NEED to be on the ice in Game 3 for this series to be decided on the ice and not in the league office.<BR/><BR/>In the end, <A HREF="http://nojoshin.blogspot.com/2008/05/game-2-det-2-dal-1-fracas-at-finish.html" REL="nofollow">Dallas needs to get more shots on goal</A>. In the first two series, Dallas put pressure on Giguere and Nabokov by forcing them to make saves. Osgood only faced 18 shots last night. That has to pick up for Dallas to get back into things.<BR/><BR/>Game 3 should be exciting.

By taking Ribero out, Dallas has a less likely chance of defending its home ice. <BR/><BR/>My opinion, a suspension is deserved...for both Ribero and Osgood. Osgood could have taken Ribero's eye out or smashed his cheeks or jaw. Although he tried to act like he was move away, that stick was intentionally moved up and right into Ribero. Then that FLOP? That's reason enough to suspend him. But, it won't happen. I will boycott the NHL final..of course, I'd have to find it on one of those goofy cable channels before I can boycott it!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and by the way, Detroit is just too good for Dallas regardless of whether Ribero plays or not!CMAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489233811981836545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-31340264214637082512008-05-11T16:24:00.000-05:002008-05-11T16:24:00.000-05:00Rangers W 6-4Stars L 1-2I hate the Red Wings, they...Rangers W 6-4<BR/>Stars L 1-2<BR/><BR/>I hate the Red Wings, they are like team Iceland in the Mighty Ducks movie.<BR/><BR/>Down with the evil empire.

You approached from a game standpoint - the Stars missed their early opportunities, then got killed on face-offs and time of possession - not a recipe for a W. I expect to see a desperate Stars team on Monday night, but, they will not take dumb penalties either. They can't if they hope to have a chance at winning.<BR/><BR/>As for Osgood/Ribero - at first look, you couldn't see Osgood's move, and Ribero looked nuts, as you said. Upon review, Osgood took his shot and deserved retribution - not sure a 2 hander into the chest, but, whatever it takes. If the tables had been turned - and it was Turco who jabbed then received the chop - Dallas fans would be feeling the exact same as Detroit fans. <BR/>I agree with you, Ribero and Osgood will both be on the ice monday - and I don't expect much to come from it - unless the game gets out of hand. If it's close, no one wants to be responsible for the dumb penalty that costs the game. <BR/>I know you hate the Wings, but, you are definitely fair in talking about this series. Enjoy the rest of it and see you at the AAC.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159564998482766861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-30269726805825257852008-05-11T14:46:00.000-05:002008-05-11T14:46:00.000-05:00In the 2007 and 2008 playoffs, the Red Wings have ...In the 2007 and 2008 playoffs, the Red Wings have been at 2-2 in the series every time with the exception of their last series with Colorado.<BR/><BR/>I think that should give us all hope that they aren't unbeatable. <BR/><BR/>I think if games 3 and 4 at home are played like game 2, there's a good chance that the series turns into a best of 3. At that point, then we can revisit Turco's winless streak at the Joe, but do so with much momentum.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to hear the crowd taunt Osgood -- it should happen early and often.<BR/><BR/>Turco's Better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092368466646603990noreply@blogger.com
