    I think I found out what happened.

    The players heard this song just before the game.

        It's like Playfair looked at the '04 series with Detroit, thought "What did work?"

        Then filed it under "What didn't work?"

        Well the coaches talked all week about the need to be physical but the flames weren't. Frankly they got dominated in every aspect of the game. The only positive was that Kipper was amazing and thats hardly a wondeful thing to say when the opposition scores four.

        As I have said all along I don't think Playfair's failures are anything to do with his systems and gameplans and they have everything to do with his seeming inability to motivate and inspire. Tonight I saw offensively talented Red Wings backchecking EXTREMELY hard when the score was 4-0. That is the kind of effort that is needed

          There's no way any player on the Wings is going to accept being on the second 1st place team to bow out to an 8th that goes to the Finals. Them being the first such team last year is a special gift from the Oilers to the Flames.

          Asher should have hoped for Anaheim.

            Dammit, Cheechoo was my number 3 pick my playoff pool. And I was already screwed cause I had to get someone to pick players for me and I forgot to tell him not to pick that bum Vanek.

              Apparently, New Jersey only had 14,000 at the game last night. Brilliant fan support.

                What don't you like about Vanek??

                I can't imagine not being happy with that pick.

                  I heard he looked extremely nervous the whole time, again...

                        I can't imagine not being happy with that pick.
                        I picked him in my draft last year after he had a solid rookie season - 48 points. In 18 playoff games he got 2 points and was benched eight times. ;(

                        This year I had the second pick. Briere goes first. The smart move for me, if I wanted a Sabre, would have been to Drury. Maybe Vanek can erase last year and prove he's a playoff sniper, but it's a big gamble.

                            Detroit didn't sell out their first game...

                              Last time NJ went to the finals, they didn't sell out UNTIL the finals, IIRC.
