One thing I enjoy doing is reading responses in a necromanced thread to find all the people who didn't look at when it was originally posted. Good times.

Datsyuk then, Datsyuk now, Datsyuk forever.

QFMFT.

There's a GDT. That's where posts about the game are supposed to go.

According to my clock, 19 minutes.

Re: who is a fan and who is not.....seriously? The Wings are on the verge of an epic comeback, one I myself didn't think it was possible for them to make, and instead we're pissing in the wind about what constitutes a fan and what doesn't? Ooooooooooookay. Now, back on topic. When we went down 3-0 and were generally playing like sacks of crap, I didn't think it was possible for them to be on the verge of forcing a 7th game. I'm beyond ecstatic that they've done what they've done, especially since it looked like they wouldn't have the chance to do it. I always enjoy when the Red Wings prove me wrong.

Win. Push this f***** to 7 games.

Is this the thread where we talk about how awesome the Sharks are?

The San Jose Sharks are the greatest team in NHL History. We're all better for being able to play them. Joe Thornton is my all-time favorite Shark, and I hope he scores 10 goals against us.

The diving is out of control and I wish the refs called it more. I also wish the refs would undo their rectal-cranial inversion they seem to love so much, but one thing at a time.

It's hard to win games when you're always playing from a deficit.

The Sharks are the greatest team in NHL history. We should be honored they're lowering themselves to face us. All hail the Sharks.

Win.

Geaux Sharks, eh? Right?

I hope your faith is rewarded. I would hate for the Wings season to end now. It's not even my birthday yet. That said, we still have a long row to hoe if that's what we want to do.

You have no idea how happy I was to come to the site this morning and see a 5 up there instead of just a 4. I was worried all during my sister's graduation about what the score of the game was, and when we got back from that and dinner, I was too tired to even turn on my computer. Now, can they do this another three times in a row?

I won't be able to watch the game as my sister is graduating from college this evening and family comes first.......but I better come back to find a 5 at the top of the page, or else I'm going to be royally pissed off.

Enough with this "die-hard fan" poppycock. We're all die-hard fans, otherwise we wouldn't waste the time to answer the question. You can be a fan and be optimistic, you can be a fan and be realistic. We swept the Coyotes because they're a piece of s***, rinky-dink team. The Grand Rapids Griffins could have swept the Coyotes. The Sharks are a better team than we are, and we've been outplayed three games in a row. We can't score on the PP, our defense sucks, and the Wings at times go on the ice looking lazy and frankly, like they're somnambulists. That's not going to win you games. The same thing happened last season. We beat our 1st round opponent because they were a lightweight team, we face our 2nd round opponent and get our clocks cleaned. Is it possible that we'll win the next four games in a row? Sure. It's also possible that I'll win money in the lottery this weekend. Does that mean it's going to happen? The chances are slim to none, and slim is walking out the door with a hooker on each arm. Face it -- when playing better teams, the Red Wings get exposed. We can't go through the playoffs always playing weaker teams.

Yes, go Sharks. Go far, far away is where I'd like the Sharks to go.

So Nick is now the all-time league leader in playoff PP goals. Kiss the ring, *******.

The Sharks are a better team than we are. There's no shame in saying that. We should have won at least one of those games in SJ, but we didn't, so we move on to the games in Detroit and win those there. Assigning blame after the fact makes no sense. The team wins or the team loses. The team lost. Get over it and move on to Game 3.

Seriously. Just be total assholes and phone it in all the way, don't pull that bulls*** cocktease at the end where you make your fans think you finally give a damn.

Embarrassing. s***-tastic. Putrid. Revolting.

Where is the team that swept Phoenix? Because I haven't seen them.

Good news: We finally scored a goal. Bad news: San Jose scored two goals.
