Thats guaranteed imprisonment in SJ

Dont count on that. I was at game 1 and they found ways to get loud even when we were winning. We need first blood AND LAST BLOOD this will be a one goal game.

Lets pray the hockey gods see it that way as well

Miller is always an injection of energy when he plays. He moves and we need that on the line, sorta like Helmer where hes all over the back end of the zone picking up the loose man. Prediction: Helm, Draper, Miller are on the same line by the end of the game. Predicition: Ericcson and Salei are oour biggest liabilties in this game. Its obvious from the predicted lines that Babs is lining up a banger and a sniper on each line. Unfortunately, Salei isnt a sniper and Ericcsson is no banger so expect (hopefully) to see the Nick Stewie line being mixing heavily between Kronner and Raffy. Ericsson will probably play fill in when guys are tired. I hope that Nick gets on the PK cause we definitely need his help breaking up the Sharks PP. I also hope they stick to a tighter pattern on the PK, we have been hammered by chasing pucks trying to bat it out of the zone. Nick is the only one on the team that can do that so if he isnt there we need to bolster the botttom 20' and suck up shots from the blue line. I would like to see Mo playing in this game although there must be a reason hes not which we dont know.

To the Sharks haters on this board... Ill gladly take 11 Cups to the Sharks NONE. Ill take the 6 trips to the SCF in the last 15 years compared to the Sharks oh NONE. We got this game. Nicky looked like the youngest guy on the ice last game, so much for being old. Helm is getting a replay of his GWG from Friday. We have nothing to lose and we are going to play with an intensity that dwarfs the show we got on the 6th. Lets go fishing boys I want so fin soup for dinner!

/im 100% with you. If it wasnt for the ton of PP we had in the start I think the game woulda been way lower scoring. To that end if the Sharks didnt get those PPs in the last period they wouldnt have tied it. /if the Sharks didnt tie it Id be calling this game a hollow victory with SJ getting way too many calls against them. I made a thread regarding Game 2 being over officiated but I dont think anyone has talked about the officials helping a team to come from behind. I have seen way too many last minute penalties when a team is just about to wrap things up and then go on the Kill with a minute or two left and have to fight off a 6-4 rush. It makes for good TV, especially if you dont care who wins and just like to see the drama of it all. To that end its like setting up NASCARs so they are more likely to crash so people that dont ever what it, tune in and see some spectacular crash of 20 cars. Its not the right way to gain viewership and it is very obvious that certain rules and regulations have been created to have a super tight conference in the regular season and to have as many Game 7s or OTs as possible in the Playoffs. It was alot more prevalent in the Quarter finals where a ton of teams went OT or long series due to calls.

well lets hope for Clowe to get the instigator penalty for next game aka 1 game suspension.

nevermind NHL store doesnt show em but found it through detroitathletic.

cause hes awesome and i hate you that you came up with a helmer tshirt.. May I ask where someone in NorCal may find one online???

And when a sharks fan comes in and posts a video link about one of their players I take it personal. And I recall those personal memories about NICK and all the other GREAT RED WINGS PLAYERS THAT HAVE WON THE CUP. Sharks fans dont have room to even gloat as they havent even won a cup. To come here and gloat as well as someof the talk in my area of the world about how they are gonna take it I get a bit defensive,. I come to a Wings board to hear support for the team, not backing up fans from the team that is coming here more or less saying HAHAHA . Some one wanna gloat?, Im gonna give them nothing but disrespect and hope for nothing but disappointment. Take it for what you will.

You may recall that you guys whipped our asses pretty good in Game 4 last year. If, however, the Sharks learned their lesson from last year's beatdown and look like they're going to get the sweep this time around, enjoy watching what could be the final games for some of the classiest players in the league. Here's the link to a nice tribute to these guys from ESPN.com: http://sports.espn.g...erre&id=6487568 Whether your season ends after Game 4 or you live to fight another day, Red Wings fans have a lot to be proud of. Lace 'em up . . . drop the puck . . . and may the best team win. I seriously wish you didnt follow me up there. As nice as you seem I wish nothing but the worst for your team. I hope for injuries, penalties and loss after loss. Smug is Smug and sadly you dont know what it is to win. You can keep hoping for the S word but as imminent as it may be you still havent sat at the edge of your seat with your father when your team won in 2002 and said that there would never be a team as good as this EVER. Youll never stand next to your girlfriend and hear that your team won the cup for the first time in over 4 decades. You will never be laid up in a hospital and watch you team win the cup after a horrible motorcycle accident and you will never get to hope your runaway dog comes back while you watch your team win the cup in 2008 and then have him show up the next day. You may love your team My team won and it won A LOT. My team changed my life, my team gave me a reason to live, my team brought a family together, and my team gave me a reason to believe, Your team lost. Even if they win they cant do what the Red Wings have done no matter what. Heres to the Wings and heres to the guys that gave me so many great memories.

Give the Joe a blowout, I dont wanna give up, but the odds are seriously against us. The team can give us one game that tides us over till next year. If we tie this series Ill get on youtube and eat a dead crow. I wanna eat some crow and feed the guppies some humble pie but I just dont think we have a come back team. Lets mark 5 6 11 as possibly the last time we will see the greatest Defenseman of all time, not just for us but in the entire NHL. Maybe we can talk about Nicky before the start of the game. He has been such an important part of the team that I have followed and to not give him the most amount of praise in what could be the last 24 hrs of his career would be shameful So heres to Nick, No need to type out his credentials, he is the best that was, has been and ever will be.. Nickey heres to you playing a Game 7

/no I was kinda skipping ahead through time. /i said I lost my virginty, watched them win and GOT MY DRIVERS LICENSE on the same day, Truth be told got my drivers license the day earlier but that was THE BIG NIGHT Being 30, they won in 97, my bday is december of 80. The fam didnt let me get my licence till the summer cause of my grades. I was 16 and 5 months old when they won. That was a huge day for me.

Hey Imagine me a Sacramento bred kid. My dad is born in Detroit and he curses every Thankgiving that Sanders needs a team around him. Then ESPN starts showing playoff hockey games when Im 13, June of 2007, I get my drivers license and my dad lets me go out all night. I take my girl friend to a local show (rock bands) and one of the bands is named Boneback. He is a total rocker but is on stage wearing a redwings t shirt and on stage says that we just won the stanley cup championship. Long story short, I got my license, the wings won and I lost my virginity all all the same night. I dont think it has set in how important that team has been to my life and typing this is getting me choked up. Love you Nick, Homer and Drapes, Love you Shanny, Love you Lapointe, Love you Maltby, McCarty and Federov, Love you Prof, love you Joey, love you Larry s*** they fought for their lives and won. That team brought a father and son together. When I was 16 we barely talked. At age 30 we are connected at the hip at that team helped it. We have another game but I have no illusions that even if we win it that we dont lose 1/4. Time does fly and my what a good time it was!!!

Sad day at my dads house /he got choked up that its pretty good likelyhood that other than D its probable that Nick, Homer and Drapes hang em up in the next couple months. /im sad that D is gonna be the only one left from our best team EVER. I have a tissue handy when it that news is truth. Hope the Wings spare me any cruel and unuasal punishment

Ericsson is the tallest traffic cone Ive ever seen. If we wore orange Id swear he had a cone head. I had hope that we still had a chance till now. We dont have the team to climb out of this hole,. Ill root a win if we get one but we are done. Heres to the Sharks losing in the SCWF.

Time to go golfing. Next games are moot. We are done,

ITS A MUTHA FKN MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank god there wasnt a call on that dive

Well there no excuse today. .. We had it and lost it twice. Good thing is the pattern says we get the next one. Ill let em have first goal of next game lol. I do feel like breaking my fingers with a hammer though. Might ease the pain of watching our team break apart. /whats worse is I have to watch the Sharks feed. I am FORCED to watch the Sharks talk them selves up, I sure do miss the cuddly voice of Mickey right now.

Salei = FAIL

spoke to soon..............................................

/anybody else feel sick to your stomach knowing that the game is WAY TOO CLOSE???

We cant be slacking right now PRESSURE!!!!!!!!!!!
