Diving is the new fad of the nhl I guess.

I love seeing the Sharks fail. Pathetic team with s*** douchebag f***heads who will never win the cup. I love this.

Very proud of the team for the valiant effort. Unfortunately, the puck didn't bounce our way tonight. I honestly think this is the year for the Sharks as well. This was the real WCF.

I was fine until I saw Lidstrom in the handshake line.

Everyone just sit back and enjoy the game. .

This game has huge implications on the Red Wings obviously. This could be the last game for the Captain. Just think about that. I honestly feel like the Cup is on the line tonight.

We believe, and the important thing is the Wings believe as well!

I hope the Sharks are crushed and just mail it in. That is what I want .

I can't even put a coherent sentence today right now.

Big Joe may be the worst nickname for that prick. He is anything but big. Small in the heart, and I assume small in the dick.

Weak dive right there.

Great start so far!

I am so proud of this team the last two games. So much heart was displayed by the Wings tonight. It is moments like these that make me really proud of the team and organization. Thanks for reminding to never give up Wings! Onto game 6 now.

Very proud of this team. I was giving up when the Sharks tied it at 3. And, I must apologize for that. One game at a time boys. Nothing is impossible, ever.

Datsyuk is injured?

We need a goal.

f***. We are such spoiled fans. We may have been ragging on Homer lately, but I'm sure we all have a special place in all our fan hood hearts for Tomas. (No homo). I'm sure when he is gone, we will miss Homer a lot. This ******* sucks. Time flies, and sometimes I just wish it would stop for a bit.

2007 - I remember losing to Anaheim after a nice boneheaded play by Lilja that cost us game 5. 2008 - The top players wanted to win the cup for themselves that year. Also, that team had a relatively easy time in the playoffs matchups wise. 2009 - This was a terrible choke job. Went up 3-2 in the series, and ended up choking game 7 on home fricken ice. 2010 - Stolen by refs? Just like this year, the Wings were outplayed last year. 2011- Failed to make any changes against a team that embarrassed the Wings last year.

Yeah, the only reason why I think I want to watch the game Friday is for Lidstrom. A good guy like him always deserves better than this. Sadly, the good guy doesn't always win.

No surprises really. Once the sharks tied it up I knew the game was over. This team doesn't have the "it" factor if you want to say so. They can't close out a game. All this means is we need a change in philosophy. I know we all love Babcock around here, but he hasn't produced anything other than one cup with with a pretty solid core. Call me crazy, but I think we need a lot of change, and that starts with the man behind the bench.

Please don't compare arguably one of the greatest nhl teams every assembled to our lineup now. Please don't even try to do that. Please don't. Seriously, please don't.

Lower the expectations, the Wings are not winning this series...

Tough decisions because the expectations are to win a cup. I would be open to trades, and trying to get a big Free Agent signing. We need some new ******* blood on this team. Not some of this Modano bulls***.

Yeah I just want Lidstrom to go out on top. He is a class act, and that would be the perfect end to his career.

I would be completely open to a few new faces on the Wings. Kenny will have some tough decisions to make this summer.
