More! I don't want Fleury to see a single shot on Friday. Until they come out from behind him, that is.

Never.

Class is a pretty good hatred deterrent. Look up what the organization has done for Vlad Konstantinov and Jiri Fischer if you really want to see what makes me proud to be a Wings fan.

Our "meh" is better than their good. Our good is better than their better. Our better is better than their best. Our best is the best in the world. I'm calling it. 4-1 Detroit.

Another positive, the Accuscore prediction. When they get over half a goal either way, they're very accurate.

They're saying we have this.

I'm feeling peaceful right now, same as I did after game 4. I believe, deep down, that they have this. I didn't believe such tonight- something felt off. How about some positives from tonight? - Osgood is a beast. If not for the D hanging him out to dry, the Wings might have won. - Helm was fighting for every puck that entered his ZIP code. - Datsyuk hasn't lost a step. He was close multiple times. - Draper scored. How often does that happen?

Conklin and Hossa?

Osgood and Cleary are going to come up huge.

I feel a deep and abiding peace right now, the same as after game 4. They will win on Friday.

Three, three posts! Ah, ah, ah!

We got this.

You mean such has been done all postseason?

Two! Two posts, ah, ah, ah!

One, one post! Ah, ah, ah!

Oh, shove it. Feel free to not be a fan, if that is how easily you give up.

Okay, win it in 7. Home stand.

Yes. Play like it's a Cup clinching game, not November.

One shot away from a tie. Come out with some damn intensity, already!

Well, that's made of suck. *stomach-healing vibes* Pavel taught me how to send these!

Man, that would be a mistake on their part. Satan was actually trying out there.

I might have to drive up and get my wife's Cleary jersey autographed.

Those twits don't know hockey. They're passable for football or basketball, but anything that requires 2 balls to play is beyond them.

Probably Larsson, unless Howard really improves over next season.

I might go, just for the game itself. Don't need a table, don't even need a seat, just a few hundred of my closest friends.

Still off? Anyone getting replies?
