gesundheit39 Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Detroit continues to do its best Jekyll and Hyde imitation. In the first game, Calgary dominated the Wings 5-1 despite the Red Wings getting 3:50 in Power Play time. In fact, the Flames were so swarming on defense, that the Wings only goal, a slapper from Ciccarelli was also their only shot of the game! "We won't tolerate the allowance of Calgary using illegal magnetic sticks and a magnetic puck," said coach Bowman. "There's no way in a fair game we get outshot that bad unless the team we are playing is the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders in bikinis" If game one was Detroit doing Dr. Jekyll having taken a bunch of downers, game two was the Wings playing as Mr. Hyde showing his level of power. Detroit performed a complete turnaround as they shutdown and shutout the Flames 5-0. Steve Yzerman netted a pair and added a triple of assists. Ciccarelli also scored a pair and Kozlov closed out the scoring. Part of the team's fortunes were changed by the overaggressiveness of Calgary. "Joe (Nieuwendyk) was most aggressive," remarked eigth-string center Jim Hiller. Not to be outdone, resident team jokester Shawn Burr stated "well, we're conducting an experiment this season. Before this last loss we ate Moo Goo Gai Pan, slurpees and gnocchi. So scientifically we now can rule out these items as being good 'energy' food. Then we switched it up and just ate bananas and canteloupe before our shutout. Was a great energy food, but thankfully we didn't need any bench players cause we were all in the can after that pregame meal. That's the great thing about science though, it's always a work in progress." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
