nah, this is easy pickings for Nabby. He's having blast tonight. Wings mostly miss the net or the shots get blocked before they get to Nabs.

it just makes you wonder, doesn't it? Oh whee.. another PP. I sure hope they don't get shut out. How sad, we have NO offense at all tonight.

and it resulted in a goal. Say thank you to the nice men in stripes, Sharkies...

is 11 considered a few...?

much better, thank you! We don't necessarily agree, but we respect your right to say this.

maybe switch for the second period, Edi.

thanks. The Wings will regroup and come back out strong. They know what they have to do... Bert and Calder with goals (at least) in the second.

Wings can't buy a goal. Ridiculous. I sure hope the Wings don't let us get shut out.

TB, say that again, and I am going to turn you into a toad. zzzapp!! They're getting a rough start, just hang on...

sure... I think we lose this one and win on Saturday. Nick can't be sitting in the box when we're missing Homer and Lebda. Bad idea.

overmodulated? Got your media director hat on there, Edi? The Wings appear to be undermotivated tonight, for certain. If we can't win at home, I am a bit concerned...

anybody here think these guys are going to score even one?

I am leaving now. I really can't handle this tonight. Good luck, Wings...

nothing Dom could do. Too bad we didn't score on the lazy shift earlier.

Nick knows better than that. PK!

chat is too hyper for me. I am tired... and can't type fast enough.

shoot de puck, boyz... please? Nice complexion, there, Mule...

Dom says no.

OK, so nothing about Lidstrom's or Cheli's or anyone elses stats in their career mean anything either, I guess. Hasek is a great playoff goalie, and all of the stats quoted are by definition, in the past, therefore "old."

Hasek among the best ever Over the hill? You cannot be serious. In the Calgary series, "the other goalie" was the story. Dom made the difference in that series. He might not be as good as he once was, but as long as he's better than the other team's keeper, I don't see the problem here. Wow, Detroit fans are tough on their goalies. "When the Wings signed him, we said they took a chance. How can you take a chance by signing one of the best players ever after an excellent season?" Look for Dom to be the difference maker again in this series. As Joe Thorton said, "Hasek's like fine wine, he gets better with age."

all of these are incredibly brilliant! I am humbled by your creativity. I have very little skill at this but I might have to give it a try. Keep 'em coming in the meanwhile, please.

I was thoroughly un-impressed with Bill Guerin when he was with the Dallas Stars and remain in that camp. I was so happy to see him leave. Guerin thinks he knows more than he does, so if the Sharks listen to him, that's good. Guerin is apparently San Jose's "veteran" presence on the bench. IMHO, the likes of Lidstrom, Chelios, Draper, Dom and a few others who've been to the dance a few times trump that hand in the playoffs. As for intelligence about players and teams, Detroit's also got Scotty Bowman and Steve Yzerman to whisper sweetly into our players' ears about how to beat the Sharks. Perhaps San Jose (or maybe just the author of this article) believes the Wings are ignorant of all things Shark-like? Let them talk, that's all it is.

Luc was great with the Wings in 2002. I was glad he won a Cup with us, and more happy for him when he went back to the Kings to complete his stellar career. He can say whatever he wants, it's fine since it doesn't make it true, eh? He's still one of the best, IMO, w/ 668 goals. Wow. Remember the goal vs Carolina in the finals, where Igor dished off that little saucer pass to Luc? It was soooo pretty. Trivia: Did you know Luc's last game in the NHL was against the Sharks, and it was a 4-0 shutout for the Kings?

Sorry, KP. Didn't mean to cause you pain. Mr. Jonathan Cheechoo scares me less than Mr. Milan Michalek does, now that I consider it (thanks a bunch for reminding me, there, jjcast408). I can't wait to hear Versus announcers butcher the pronunciation of Michalek's name. heh~ Wings can handle both of them, I have no doubt!
