Octopus's Garden

Please score. Please. Please. Please. Please.

Just hard to envision this thing turning around with the way the Wings are playing. Can't score, getting beat to every loose puck, struggling on defense ... Things are really going to have to role-reverse in the next 3 days.

This team's not even trying.

LOL.

This is absurd. Also ... that's a goddamn penalty.

And another great chance for the Sharks after the Wings dick around for 45 seconds. I can't stand this.

I'm pretty confident Modano and Draper will be in the lineup next game. Guessing Miller and Abdelkader sit, but who knows.

Are you ******* KIDDING ME FRANZEN? The WHOLE NET WAS OPEN

Howard should start slashing his own guys. Maybe they'd start skating then.

Nice play Franzen.

"The fans don't understand it." ... You got that right, Panger.

Nice dive you f***s.

Lucky it's only 1-0. The Wings look like they could care less.

They look like they're playing a preseason game.

Embarrassing.

4 minutes. Nice job, douchebag.

One of these bouncing pucks out front is going to find its way in within the next couple minutes. Let's get it even right now.

Perfect.

"What great player in the NHL doesn't want to be on the penalty kill?" ... Crosby ... Malkin ... Ovechkin ...

The puck is sitting right there.

Great start ... penalty on the Divers, getting pucks to the net. Let's get the lead.

Surprised Pavelski made it through that whole interview without trying to draw a penalty on Pang.

Let's do this already.

San Jose WILL NOT win in Detroit in this series. So it's either going to be 3-1 Wings or 2-2 when this thing goes back to SJ for Game 5.

I've already said this in this thread a couple times, but I totally agree on getting to Niemi. If there's one thing I took out of that game, it's that he's as shaky as I thought he was. While Howard was swallowing pucks up, Niemi was struggling to find them and kicking out huge rebounds -- Detroit just didn't have enough people flying to the net to take advantage. He's GOING to give up goals. If the Wings' grinders start getting to the net in Game 2, it will look completely different on that end of the ice.
