That's a goal in 3 straight playoff games for Abby.

Where's the great Keith Yandle at *******?

These s***ty fans caused their team to be bankrupt.

Just like the Arizona Cardinals, who used to play in that empty stadium until they became good. Bunch of fairweather pricks. That whole area is a s***ty place for pro sports fans. Just like Atlanta, they're all fairweather who only show up in the playoffs.

Yeah, Howard's 5 hole reminded me of "he who we shall not speak of"

Fenix has such a low fanbase, that none of their fans are coming here to troll like we've seen before.

There's no telling which Wings team we'll see here in the third. I just hope it's the same team that picked up that physicality that 2nd period. For once we hit them for a change.

Rafalski is responsible for that Lombardi goal. He got beat to the puck and failed to pick up his man.

What a ******* period!! It'd be nice if Kronwall, Rafalski and Ericsson didn't screw up so much, or else we'd have this game in the bag. I love how our top two lines are rolling right now, though. We need these stars to carry us, because we have more firepower than them.

Like that hasn't happened before. 2003, 2004, 2006.

I guess Jason Williams wasn't the problem after all.

Stevie Wonder must be in charge of keeping the shot count.

This one is pretty good. http://www.freedocast.com/TheBlanetwork

What a horrible period. Wings suck cock, drum's feed died, the channelsurfing feed is in Russian and blurry, and Versus is showing the Preds game.

Too bad it wasn't Crosby, Malkin, Talbot or that ManBearpig

Oh he was definitely a great enforcer and a very willing and entertaining fighter. I've just never heard anyone say he was one of the best fighters ever in terms of actual fighting ability and effectiveness. You're the only person I've ever come across who has him in the top 5.

I hope not. We've been there before, where our top players disappear and we have to rely on grinders to score. That's usually when teams lose a playoff series.

Yeah, "The Sandman" was a tough SOB. You could argue that he was the best fighter in the league for a few years there in the 90's. I don't agree with Semenko being up there, though. He had a great rep and was a good fighter before he played in the NHL, but he always had bad showings against top NHL heavies. An overrated fighter if there ever was one, maybe the most overrated fighter ever. Always jumped his opponents like a puss. Why do you think Basil McRae was one of the best fighters ever? He was always a willing fighter, but never a top 5 guy during his career. Not the greatest win/loss record either.

Wouldn't it be something if San Jose lost again tonight?

Yeah it's been talked about here before, and it seems very unclassy by Ilitch, especially since he refuses to explain himself.

1. Behn Wilson 2. Bob Probert 3. Dave Brown 4. Joey Kocur 5. Donald Brashear Don't know how the OP can rank Wensink and Schultz ahead of guys like Wilson and Brown. I think Probert is the best enforcer ever, but Behn Wilson has to be the best hockey fighter ever. Guy fought around 100 NHL fights and only lost around 5 or so times. None were bad losses either. He was the perfect fighter who had no weaknesses. Was a pretty good player as well on the blue line, scoring 360 points in 600 games or so, before injuries and laziness ended his career. Also, I want to give a shout out to guys like Gillies, Nystrom and Playfair, who could easily be in anyone's top 5.

I guess if the Wings blow it, at least we could have some company that would deflect the attention away from us for once.

What if all the lower seeds win in the first round?

Didn't Abby score a goal in his last two playoff games before he was benched?

There is no bandwagon. Unless by bandwagon you're talking about believing whether your team will win or not. As far as cheering for your team, I'm pretty sure mindfly cheers hard for the Wings. Maybe even harder than any of us, based on how angry he gets over each mistake or loss.
