And for those losers in Buffalo, you can't beat this...

They weren't so amazing last night in Nashville. Chelios spent a good part of the night whining to the refs, as usual. We sat just as many of our strongest players, due to the horrific string of injuries we've had all year, and whipped them.
Beat the Buckeyes! Go Blue! ;-)
And for those losers in Buffalo, you can't beat this...
BFD!
Detroit ping.
From the madman of westland!!!!
oh..and i work at the detroit opera house, so i think ill start wearing my wings jersey to work!!!!!
Not Lately. LOL!
Yeah - the Wings and Pistons tend to do well, and the Tigers and Lions tend to do little or nothing. Our cup is half full. That's way better than half empty.
You mean Manny Legace. CuJo is a Coyote.
"Now if Detroit could just produce a winning lineup of cars And better Senators and Governor), maybe then they would have something real to cheer about.'
You are so right.
In 2003, Cujo was a Red Wing. That's an old picture. But still priceless.
But in Dallas, we have the Stars, Mavs, and Cowboys. Not only that, but the Stars lead the NHL in fighting majors, while the Red Wings were at the very bottom. Steve Ott alone had 10 more fights than the entire Red Wings team. So, advantage Dallas.
The Mavs will never win a championship with Nowitzki. He's a nice play and all, but he always chokes in the clutch.
Or as they say in Detroit, "Lions and Tigers and Errors....Oh My!"
Just like they did in November, huh? (~40 point Mav win).
Incidentally, Phoenix is NOT a better bet to emerge from the West than Dallas is. The only thing they have going for them is they don't have to play Dallas or SA in a second round series, but they likely won't get to the Conference Finals.
No, the series (if lightining strikes the Spurs and Suns) will look more like the game in March where Detroit held the Mavs to 40 pts in the second half and forced candy ass Dirk into a 9-23 night from the floor en route to a 97-90 win.
Nowitzki is soft, Stackhouse....we had Stack in Detroit, he's the king of playoff chokers. Van Horn and Dampier are two of the biggest stiffs in the NBA and they're your primary big men off the bench. The Wallaces, Mcdyess and Dale Davis are going to chew Dirk and the rest of your post players up.
Even without Stoudamire, I'll take Phoenix over Dallas. Diaw, Nash and Shawn Marion are more than enough to take care of the Mavs.
Let me get this straight: you are crowing about a 7 point win after Dirk being held to .333 or so shooting, and you think that is a GOOD thing?
Van Horn is injured and its unclear whether he will play in the playoffs, but none of the three Pistons you mentioned can guard Dirk on the perimeter. I'm not saying that Dallas would sweep Detroit by winning all 4 games by 40, but I am saying that as a Mavs fan, if we can take care of SA in the second round, I don't think the Mavs will have to go 7 games in the semis or finals to win a championship. Unless, of course, the Pistons turn it into a slugfest.
That 7 point win you're so dismissive of was a classic example of Piston basketball. Play good, hard defense and smart offense for four qtrs and eventually suck the life out of your opponent because they don't have the depth to keep up.
It's an approach that won a championship two years ago and almost won another last year. What has Dirkie wandering around the perimeter brought home for the Mavs?
