I hope Danny comes right back out and does it again in the third, only it goes in. We needed that goal, to deflate this team so we can go home with the series - I hope that wasn't the decider goal. Come out hard in the third, boyz!

good job tying it up, Wings!! Now come out in the third and finish these creeps off, so you can get some rest and save us the chore of looking at them again on Tuesday. awww.... Versus announcers are sad. Poor widdle Calgary seems to have lost the game during that period. I feel so bad. Not.

unfortunate miss on that one.... hope it doesn't come back to haunt us.

and the cow-tippers go silent... LANGER!!!!!!!!!!!! more, more, more!!!! I am greedy and I don't care!

oh, not saying it wasn't... I just don't think we need a 30 second rhapsody about how wonderful he is.

isn't it? My beautiful, talented buddy made it for me. I love it! Is it me or are the Wings shooting from 20-30 feet out because they are afraid to get near the Precious in Calgary's goal?

these announcers loooooove them some "Miika," don't they? The Wings need to stop shooting easy stops like that; if Kipper can see it, he will stop it.

really nice play by Markov, nicking that puck up over Igoonla's stick (can I borrow that, Harold, I like it...).

maybe it's just me, but they look tentative. Maybe afraid whatever they do will result in a penalty... like, I dunno... touching the puck? I hope they are not playing "not to lose" tonight -- they need to play to win, like they did yesterday.

that save by Dom was a demonstration by a player who can read a play like nobody else. We need to go score some goals. Why are they letting the Flames tear through center ice untouched? This game may depend on how many breakaways and 2-1s Dom can handle alone.

Dom.

oy vey... we need to get down there and crash the net and score and danged goal. Right now! Quit letting them buzz all around our goal. Versus announcers are gleeful, hoping the Flames will knock the Wings out of the playoffs. We need offense, guys... and we need it bad. Or else we'll have to put up with these goons in Motown one more time to finish them off.

not sure where they got the persecution complex about Kipper. He must be very fragile indeed.

I don't expect anything resembling fair officiating in this game, or whatever is left of the series. Honestly, this one may have already been decided off the ice, if we're not careful. Is anyone watching the FSN feed, rather than Versus? I wondered what Mick and the guys are saying. Versus is presenting the Wings as worthy of any and all penalties, real or imagined.

I think that's called wishful thinking, that Dom is "scared" of those goons in Calgary jerseys. Mac chose a good time to get injured so he doesn't have to skate around apologizing to the players he won a Cup with. The only message McLennan sent was that he's unfit to play in the NHL. And, oh, look... he's sitting somewhere else, and he's a disgrace. The sad part of this all is, the Wings don't actually have to do anything wrong at all to be penalized. That fact could cost us the game.

I just got home, in time to see that hilariously bad call on Homer. It boggles my mind that people have spent the last week or so chiding Hasek for his supposed acting and diving... and Kipper gets a call on THAT? Clearly, the officiating is tilted toward Calgary, or against the Wings, take your pick. I hope they can kill the remaining 40 seconds and move on. Calgary doesn't deserve a goal on that call, and they sure don't deserve to win this series. I hope the next round is more even-handed than this one. It literally makes me ill to watch this nonsense.

Momentum is all Wings right now. They just need to take advantage, and ignore the goonery, classless acts, and know-nothing fans -- not the good fans, I mean the ones who think everthing the Flames did yesterday was fine and dandy. Home ice will not help the Flames tonight, they've shown their true colors: mostly yellow, they have no integrity as a team. And black and blue, where they bashed, slashed and sucker punched the Wings in a failed attempt to do... I am not sure what? They knew they had lost, so they should have taken it like men and professionals and moved on to try and win the next one. They won't. Take them out of the picture tonight, Wings!

Cleary's penalty shot goal Click on "+ View the frozen moment" at the right. Kid Rock is on the far left in the corner of the pic. I love that he's a Wings fan, that is very cool.

I think it's pretty universal, really. A lot of Dallas fans are ready to borrow Manny's rope right now. Honestly, the Stars have played great, and every game is a 1 goal decision, and two of them shutouts for Dallas. Three games are OTs, and one of them (the Late Night Crew's initiation), went 4OTs!! Stars lost. Hysteria ensued. Dallas is looking at a third straight first round and out and they're very jittery about everything, understandably. Vancouver has the series lead 3-2 now, and I think Dallas could win the next two. I still think the Wings will win this series, too. Sure, they need win 2 out of 3, but they can do it.

I understand.

topic title is a bit misleading, if you ask me, since it's an opinion and not what was said. Hasek and Lidstrom are both known for telling it like it is. If someone wants to take it to mean the Wings are not confident, then so be it, I guess. I don't get that from the article. It's more of a "we need to challenge ourselves" mentality. The Wings know what they need to do. You are correct in your comments, too, GCW. The Wings know there is no such thing as luck. Bad calls and bad bounces, yes, but you make your own luck out there.

best of three, my friend. Wings can do this!

QFT, Crym... see 10-15 other threads in this forum where people are starting topics to cause more stress and anger. But, hey, everyone gets to express their opinion here, right?

I don't think Hasek sounds as if he's not confident. He just doesn't sugar coat anything, just speaking the truth as he sees it. They need some home cooking, that's all. What did we expect the Calgary press and SLAM to write about the Wings, nice things?
