Nightfall

When you put it in perspective, you will sleep well tonight. Trust me on that.

Dammit! I hate agreeing with you. Please stop posting.

That series was one of the best I have seen. Yea, the Wings didn't win in 7, but man they showed a lot of heart. Jimmy Howard played solid all playoffs. I hope that Howards performance will silence his critics for about 3 months. They never surrendered or gave up. I am proud of the Wings effort even though they came up short. Rest up this summer boys. See you guys in September for training camp.

Never give up!

Not going to win many games only scoring 1 goal thats for sure.

Stuart: "We have to get pucks to the net and crash the net. We really have to connect on our passes. We also have to stop giving the puck away and score some goals." Keating: "Are you a professional hockey player?" Stuart: "No, but I did stay the night at a Holiday Inn Express last night." Stay smart, stay at a Holiday Inn Express

I am standing by the Wings to the end. Season isn't over yet. That being said, the Wings are playing like this is a beer league game.

What a disgusting effort by the Wings. The Sharks came to play tonight. The Wings did not.

Hell, we need to look a lot more determined NOW.

Thats a no brainer call

The Sharks are carrying the play so far. Howard has had to make more quality stops. The Wings are going to have to pick it up. Lets go Wings!

I remember back in 1995 when I first started watching hockey. Looking forward to the next game really brought me anxiety and excitement. Now that I have played and reffed the sport for the better part of 10 years, I just look at it as another game. Sure, the stakes are high, but I have learned that I am just going to support the Wings as much as I can and they will do the heavy work. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. If it works out, thats great. Nothing I can do about it anyway other than offer my support. Being the fan of a sports team really is one of those things that brings with it a sense of hopelessness. You are stuck on the other side of the TV or glass cheering the team on, but you can't make a difference other than yell or support them. This is why I love playing hockey because I can directly control what happens in the course of a game. Lets win it tonight Wings!

I think we need Quint! http://player.vimeo.com/video/6780820?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0

Lets do this Wings!

More pissed than when we lost in game 7 of the SCF to the Pens back in 2009? Lets put this game in a little perspective here.

I really think the wings fans have to put this into context. Every game except game 6, has been a 1 goal affair. Either team could have been up 3-0. A bounce here or there and the Wings could have been up 3-0 on the Sharks. These teams are very very close in terms of skill level. This game 7 will be the same probably. If the Wings win, it will be an epic comeback. If the Wings lose, its going to be a sad day for me because if you are going to make it this far, you have to seal the deal. At the same time though, you gotta have realistic expectations. If the Wings play hard and lose, I am going to be as proud of the team if they played hard and won. Support your Wings in winning and losing. Thats the key.

Wow. Just wow.

The Sharks fans felt the same way in Game 5.

There are two possible storylines to this game. 1. Wings dominate Sharks. Force game 7. 2. Niemi weathers storm. Sharks advance to WCF.

This is playing out just like Game 5 when the Wings were getting outshot like crazy. Except this time its the Sharks getting outshot. Niemi has an opportunity to shine over Howard this time around if he can steal this game. At the same time, the Wings need to bury some of these chances.

Meh, the right calls were made. Time to move on. I really like Kerry Frasier's columns on TSN. The article on make up calls was great. He really seems honest when he writes them. With the amount of high praise I read on these forums about him and McCreary, you would think some of these would get a little more positive attention.

I agree 100%. I am going to turn over a new leaf though from this point forward. I have in the past gotten all upset at some fans on this forum for being so negative and selling their allegiance down the river when the going gets tough. Well, I am going to change my attitude a bit. There are many different fans on this forum, and instead of pointing out the negative aspects of those fans, I am going to concentrate on the positive and on my own attitude. No more self righteous bullcrap.

Pot meet kettle?

There are a lot of similarities to Wings fans on this forum. Bickering about announcers being biased. Complaining about calls. Complaining about reffing. Complaining about players not scoring. Complaining about players not pulling their weight.
