Anaheim Ducks at Detroit Red Wings, May 1, 2009 6:00 PM CDT
Anaheim (42-33-7, 91 pts) vs. Detroit (51-21-10, 112 pts)
Anaheim is fresh off their upset of the 1 seeded Sharks while the Wings are just fresh. Its been 8 days since the Wings took the ice last for a competitive game and have had plenty of time to rest while the Ducks entertained the physical Sharks for six games.
The Sharks play virtually the same game as the Red Wings so there shouldn't be much need for adjustment on the Ducks part. The Sharks may play the same game but no one can play it as well as the Red Wings. The Red Wings will try to control the puck for the majority of the game and get as many shots on net as possible. If the Ducks fall into trouble in the penalty category, Detroit could capitalize often andmake a big difference in the game.
What to look for: Jonas Hiller will have to put forth another monumental effort in net as he faces the team that lead the league in shots per game. Ryan Getzlaf will need to lead the Ducks offensively as Chris Osgood looks to improve upon his already stellar playoff performance. The Wings will look for Hossa and Zetterberg to continue their production while trying to get Datsyuk going offensively.
Game 1 starts at 7 p.m. ET and will be on Versus and as always, GO WINGS!

Heard Rafalski is out......
That’s not a good way to start the series. Hopefully its not too serious although with the lay off they had, if he is still not recovered I cannot imagine its good news. Looks like Chelios is getting the start in his place.

yep Raf is out. too bad, but hopefully Cheli can be physical and push these toolbags around a little.

Well Chelios
looked alright when I saw him play. In fact with all the time off I thought he skated really well when he played. (including the game he played forward).

Game Time Approacheth
Hey guys, 30 mins til the puck drops! Well, after all the regular sort of stuff they do before the game so like 45 minutes. Anyway, I’ll be here all night during the game providing feedback so let’s get ready to show the Ducks and the rest of the NHL we’re for real!

didn’t look good when he ended up in the net there… i’d bet he’s fighting through a concussion

Man, they’re not playing as well as they should be. Those two penalties in the second felt like a gut-punch. They need to step it up.

Question
Why do so many teams use the dump and chase technique? I think its kind of stupid. I understand for line changes but when you’re not changing lines, I think it’s dumb to give up possession in a hope that you’ll regain it. just carry the puck in!

Well, for physical teams it allows them a chance to get in on another team. If they’re good, they’ll regain the puck. For other teams, they’re just not good enough to bring it over the blue-line. To be fair, it’s pretty hard and you need a lot of good stickhandlers to do it consistently enough for it to work as a strategy.

Yeah that makes sense for a team like Anaheim. I’m a fan of a forward carrying it in, and holding it until he has more teammates but I guess like you said its hard to do consistently. Its kind of like in soccer when they pass the ball waaaaaaaaaaaay back to the goalie after having it in the other teams 18. haha oh well. They’re professionals, I’m not.

Hiller looked to see if Fillpilla's shot was past him...
…unfortunately, it was not.

Looking at the minutes that Getzlaf is getting, and I’m smiling. In a long series (Which this probably will be) those minutes are going to wear him down more and more. The advantage of rolling 4 lines. :-D

At the very least, we now have an eVil© rival like we did back in the 90’s. That hit was horrible.

Hossa is a monster
He doesn’t look that big but man he’s physical and hard to take off the puck. Hope we can keep him.
