Who out there is upset about the Detroit Red Wings being eliminated from the playoffs?

I agree with both parts of your statement.  I am not upset that the wings are out and hope that Ottawa wins it all.  I predicted, against many vocal opponents on here, that Detroit would get upset and that NY Rangers wouldn't get past the first round.  Nobody believed me.  Detroit had an extremely easy division to play in and I thought they would have trouble winning a more difficult series.  (against any team with a record over .500)

I'm not satisfied!!\n\nI'm a Duck's fan and I wish they could win the cup this year; however after game one I told my girlfriend... "My prediction is either Edmonton will sweep us or the series will go to seven games."  After tonight it looks like (sadly) I will get it right with the first guess.  \n\nEdmonton is not a true Cinderella, they finished eight but the bottom three teams were playing musical chairs at the end of regular season... it won't a big surprise if they go all the way.  Too bad for the NHL and tv ratings.\n\nAs consolation to all Duck fans out there we can say the Ducks are mightier than at least 26 other teams in the NHL (by virtue of actually making it to the conference finals).

Well, the Tigers. The Red Wings are gonna blow it, as are the Pistons. So a Detroit team has to win the championship.\n\nThe Detroit Tigers!

I'm not disappointed.  When I was there for the last Ducks/Sharks game at the Sharktank, the Sharks fans got too cocky for their own good.\n\nI think its karma.  They thought the Thorton /Cheechoo line was unbeatable.  Then when Toskala gave up that one goal by trying to play the puck, the entire game shifted to the Oilers.\n\nThe last clinch was the fans booing the Canadian anthem.  Sure, fans are posting they were not booing at the song but at the TV monitor... yeah, whatever, but the fact is, that fired up the Oilers and they beat the Sharks in 4 consecutive game.. because of Cockiness.\n\nSharks fans... have those Raider fans turned hockey fans stay home if you want to win.  Bad Karma for you

Well, everybody knows they're Detroit Red Wing history now.  I'd also like to add that during the playoffs, Detroit suspends a huge octopus from the rafters named "AL the Octopus".  Although, all the posts on here about it starting back in 1952 are 100% correct.  but nowadays many people convert the resemblence of the eight tentacles to represent the eight teams from each conference to make the playoffs, which is false.  Also, I know for a fact, in Detroit, I've never seen a penalty assesed for the throwing of octopus or hats for that matter.  although when it is thrown, it's usually during a stopage of play.  But we all love to see it.  It pumps us up.  Go Wings

They've done a good job during the regular season and I see no reason why this won't continue in the playoffs. Bill Clement and company are polished and professional and I look forward to watching as much playoff hockey as possible for the next couple of months. I hope ESPN is crying in their worthless NBA beer for losing the NHL contract.\n\nGO SABRES!!!

No... only You.    .Scotty Bowman is not even the head coach anymore.  He retired about 4 years ago I think it was.  When they won their LAST Stanley cup!\n\nScotty  Bowman retired when he was at his highest point and is loving every minute of it!  Now if you are asking about the Red Wings HEAD COACH, MIKE BABCOCK is not crying.. he is relaxing!  Stressful and SUCCESSFULL season is over.  Who was ranked number 1 in the whole NHL ALL SEASON long??????  WHO got the presidents trophy???  WHO'S  goalie was Mr. October???   Just because Detroit IS the best does not mean they are perfect!\n\nLOL.. I think you are my newest favorite enemy!!!   lol

I would like to see the Rangers win the cup.  I think that they will end up being my surrogate team (seeing as both Minnesota and Phoenix have not a chance).  Unfortunately though, I think that the Wings will end up beating the Rangers in 6 games.

Very disappointed the Leafs are out but not surprised. I will still be watching all of the playoffs as there are still great games to watch.

You may laugh but I think the stars aer getting to old to play playoff hockey and the youngsters aren't stepping up when they need to.  It is a long season.  It takes a toll on everyone, but especially the older guys.  For all that talent, the last couple seasons haven't been kind to Detroit in the playoffs.

It should be Ottawa, but New Jersey could win it too.  Defence wins championships, and I don't think Detroit is good enough to win it.  Defence is a trademark of the Eastern Conference.

Moon, I have never been more ready for any game in my life, and I've been following -- and loving -- hockey since I was six years old! My proud Buffalo Sabres have played superbly all season long and have been THE surprise team of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Carolina Hurricanes have whined and complained and arrogantly proclaimed themselves the superior team from game one, yet here we are facing the ultimate seventh game of this series to decide it all. \n\nWhat do I expect? I expect my glorious Sabres to shock the hockey world yet again and defeat the 'Canes in their own building (where there will be thousands of Buffalo supporters cheering in full throat). It would be poetic justice and no team nor its fans could be more deserving than the Buffalo Sabres. I am so primed for this game and can hardly wait for the puck to drop tonight!\n\nAlthough I grew up in the Buffalo area and spent most of my life there, I now reside in the Washington, DC area. You will find many transplanted WNYers scattered about the country, including a large contingent here and in North Carolina. We are loud and proud in support of our beloved Sabres, no matter what happens. But again, we are going to WIN! :)\n\nThank you for the "welcome back" question, Moon! ;)\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!

I have no idea where Dustin Slade is going but already I feel sorry for the team that gets him.  His character and attitude leave a lot to be desired where the concept of TEAM not INDIVIDUAL is required.\n\nTalented goalie with a bad attitude!!
