Heroes of Hockeytown

That was one of the most intense hockey games I've ever seen. If the Wings can play like that Thursday...

SEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

Open the floodgates, Wings. Bury these f***ers.

Zetterberg is a hero. Kronwall with another big play.

No more traitorous ******* sticks. Throw away all the composites.

This is driving me nuts. I can't believe they haven't scored yet.

What's this warning s***? And they call Homer for GI for NOT touching a goalie? This is a ******* joke.

You've gotta be kidding me.

These guys will never be able to forgive themselves if they can't win this. They should have 3-4 at least.

Pavel Datsyuk ain't nutin' ta f*** wit'.

Oh no, Miller c'mon!

Hank has been straight up clutch in these last few games. Wouldn't be surprised if he buries the first one.

Never be a better chance to score.

Nick has been in front of the net at least three times tonight, he's feelin' it, he wants another goal. Feed the Captain!

There's Ericsson getting burned.

Hell of a start so far. Gotta get it in the net.

Draper doesn't really kill penalties anymore.

Not if I have anything to say about it.

He had a typical understated Zetterberg kind of game. His diving clear actually went for icing, no problem, he just casually won the next faceoff (and the last one with seconds to go for good measure too). He won 2 of 3 faceoffs on the late Sharks PK. In fact he Mike's go-to faceoff guy all night long with Pavel unable to take any, and rose to challenge, winning 16 of 25. An assist, +2, led all Wings forwards in ice time. Dude had himself the gritty, gutsy game we all expect him to deliver come playoff time.

Yeah, nice to see Bert and Dano get involved in back to back games -- and, surprise, wins. Hopefully they pick it up more, because this series has been 90% Pav/Hank/Nick to this point.

Unfortunately it looks like man down with Franzen, but that's what Modano is for, hopefully. Pavs seems no worse for wear with the wrist, except not taking faceoffs. Good thing Hank was unreal in that capacity at the end.

Abby is a hitting machine and did a great job blocking shots on the PK... but good god those penalties. Late in games he should be glued to the bench.

I love the Detroit Red Wings.
