Why is a shark fan trying to reassure Red Wing fans. Go enjoy your victory man.

Gmr you are the best! .

I won't give up hope, but losing to the Sharks, as much as it sucks for the team, the fans etc.. it would make sense. It would not come off as a choke job or anything. The only thing is it would be two straight years of failure against the same team. But you are right, last year we were not rested. So, what is the excuse this year?

I would feel fairly confident about the Wings playing any other team in the playoffs, but the Sharks provide a huge problem for us. It doesn't help that their ******* head coach knows a majority of our players and our system like the back of his hand. Think about what he tells his team at practice and in the locker room. I think this is the end of the road here, because I thought the Wings tried hard and played a damn good game, they are just outmatched and out coached (because TMAC knows all of Babcock's secrets).

What level are you talking about? Does anyone else but me see the huge amount of struggle the Wings are going through against the Sharks. We CAN NOT MATCH UP AGAINST THE SHARKS. This series is a rinse and repeat of last year.

Yep. It pains me to say this, but the Sharks are a better team than us.

We will lose this series 4-1, just like last year. Except this year we will win game 3 and lose 4. I expect that some change is made this off season. I have never seen the Wings so outmatched against any team. The Sharks are a terrible match up for the Wings.

The sky is not falling. We will be fine if the boys bring their A game. No doubt about it, if the Wings show up, they will win. Mark it down, make it a law/ this is my thesis... It is important to win tomorrow, and I think the Wings will show up. Championship teams respond to the tough situations and come out on top, I'm not saying going down 1-0 in a series in a disaster, but to shun the paranoid fans (like me, I'll admit) the Wings will show up and win it just for us tomorrow. I hope everything I'm saying is true. Go Wings tomorrow! .

I liked what I saw from Z. Remember, he hasn't played in like 3 weeks.

I thought the Wings were trying to cycle way too much last night. Get more pucks on net, rebounds will be aplenty.

No it is cool. Go Wings, Bro.

You are hilarious.

How am I a troll? What have I ever said?

I'm a troll? haha?

Did you not see everyone except Lidstrom,Howard and Datsyuk floating around out there? Look, this team was saying how they had eight days off, and how they wanted revenge for last year, and they came out terrible for majority of the game.

Mule and Cleary were floating around out there tonight...

They were exhausted from killing a four minute penalty.... They unfortunately could not get the puck out of the zone...

Orca Whale's also get hunted down by predators.

Man, if only the Wings cared as much about winning as we did.

The Sharks just seem to have our number right now. It was really funny reading how the Wings were gonna bring the fore check tonight, and how they wanted revenge. Better effort in game 2? I don't know if I should bother watching though.

Not gonna get myself worked over this s***. Time to chill to some Cudi and discuss the game here.

This is an important part of the series, an OT goal here and all the pressure shifts to the Sharks because they don't want to have this series 0-2 heading to Detroit. An OT goal here also gives Detroit some momentum that even though they didn't play their best game they were able to get a W. Sadly, all the cards are stacked against us tonight.

Flip has been fine. Mule has been terrible and has looked rusty. The Wings don't seem to have their skating legs back.

Seriously, can we break Pavelski.... This guy is killing us...

I'm expecting a loss at this point. I know that is a terrible attitude to have, but if the Wings do manage to score and win this, I will say that we stole a game off the sharks. Is anyone other than the first line playing?
