History is never giving up.

So we will have back to back playoffs with a team overcoming a 3-0 series lead. Wings begin by winning tonight, then Sunday in San Jose they will win an overtime thriller. Back to the Joe for game 6, Johan Franzen's hat trick leads Wings past sharks while tying the series. Game 7 is tied 3-3 in third when Dan Cleary breaks the tie and the Wings hold on and Win the game and the series!!!

Hey lets just support our team til the end. Gotta think they'll win every game until they don't. Lets Go Wings

Remember when Brad McCrimmon wasn't the defensive coach?

Remember when fans used to support their team during the good, the bad, and the ugly? Those were the good old days that appear to be long gone and done now

Ericsson is useless...

I hate Versus

JR is sucking off one of his former teams again. I'm glad this piece of dogs*** never won anything in his career and has no idea what it takes to win the Stanley Cup. How can you not hate this rat bastard?

I'll believe until the Sharks get 4. I want more Red Wings hockey!

Can we stop bitching about the loses of this year and last years team? Do Red Wing fans understand you can't win the Stanley Cup every frickin year? Come on boys, I think this fan base is more knowledgeable than this. We act like we AREN'T spoiled year in and out by actually making the playoffs. I could ONLY imagine what would happen if the Wings were to not make the playoffs, oh my.. god...

Grypho, stop making me feel bad for not participating as much.

For anyone else just tuning in, we never just had a 1 goal lead, WE HAD A 3 GOAL LEAD in this game. We have had all the power plays in this game. The game is tied at 3. How can you do anything but laugh or cry at this? It's just absurd.

Go Drapes!!

Great, thunderstorms...Directv and thunderstorms don't mix.

Howards was the only one playing in the first 3

Be nice to see the mule bust out!

:puke:

Erm... there's 22 teams who would like to talk to you about the definition of early exit.

I've been laying low, not wanting to be taken as salt in the wound. Time and a place for everything. I won't post in this thread during the game for that same reason (unless the Wings are blowing out the Sharks - then I might come in), but I will say that this is not the series I had hoped for against the Wings this year. You can't pick your outcomes and it's often said that you shouldn't pick your poison, but I did want this series to be WCF. I wanted the Sharks to win, of course, but I love the Wings second only to the Sharks (and don't consider myself conflicted as a result), and as such wanted a nail-biter that went at least six and was hard fought both ways. It is what it is. The edge has always been sharp enough to make the outcome of each and every game tantamount to a coin toss. As such, I don't think the Wings needed to do anything with their lines or anything else, but only step up their existing game for more scoring chances, which is the only way to actually start to count on lady luck. In terms of work, heart and grit alone, I thought both teams deserved to win Game 3, with an edge to the Wings, who outworked the Sharks for two of those periods. I'm still shocked at the outcome. Not displeased, obviously, but shocked - truly stunned - nonetheless. But the Wings did ramp up their play with each successive game, and did get more scoring chances, and I don't expect that ramping has stopped at all. Two very solid and determined teams will be on the ice tonight, intently focused on winning this one game, and very much in the moment - and as a result we should all be treated to some amazing hockey. I do wish I was in Detroit, having a brew and enjoying a hard fought game with some of the best, most loyal, positive, optimistic and amazing fans in the NHL.

‎"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." - Muhammad Ali Lets go Red Wings!!!!!

We had the lowest goals against and shots against in the league in 2008. That doesn't quite fit the definition of suspect.
