He's gonna come up big. Just you wait.

What's killing us is this putzing around with the puck in the defensive zone. If you're tired and you have a chance to get it out of the zone, then fire it out! Don't get fancy.

Cleary rocked Cheechoo.

Oh go f*** yourself, stripes.

WHERE THE HELL'S THE INTERFERENCE CALL???

Too much screwing around in our end.

Shark Tank = Ghost Tank ("BOOOOOOO!")

Correction: really dirty. Joe's after his head.

Wow, apparently Sammy said something pretty dirty to Joe.

Absolutely. The FSN commentators haven't said anything about it, so I guess it's nothing new.

He had a big hit and one really good backchecking effort. I was all

Wow, the refs are demolishing the Sharks. All legitimate calls, though. Great first period. It's amazing how bad the ice is -- how many times have the Wings fanned on passes or overskated the puck? Must be at least a couple dozen.

No way does that count.

See?

Grier giving Nick grief from the back. That's a no-no. Also, the ice is clearly bad.

God almighty, the FSN picture is terrible.

This is ridiculous, why is Versus giving me a black screen?

WTF I just lost the Versus feed!

I've got a good feeling about this game. I'm calling a Markov goal.

Less talk about playoff OTs, more talk about disbanding expansion clubs.

I'm in no way trying to "bail myself out," nor am I feeling the least bit guilty. The Wings were playing s***ty hockey, and I and others said as much. Granted, many went overboard in doing so, but seriously, enough with the "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW PEOPLE WERE FREAKIN' OUT. SHAME ON YOU" posts.

I have boatloads more, but I like "Get over yourself" for its succinctness. However, if I'm beholden to speak at length about this matter in order to appease the "true fans," I will. Calling out fans for being fairweather is just as tired and "simplistically cliched" as bashing the Wings for a lack of effort is. If your point is simply that some fans are idiotic, then God only knows why you feel the need to make as many long-winded posts about the subject as you do. We get it: Wings fans make extreme -- and often times inane -- statements. It's a simple, widely-accepted truth, so the elitist finger-pointing and diatribes are unnecessary. In response, you might say that harping on the Wings' poor play is equally unnecessary. I would say that's both true and false. On the one hand, going to extremes and saying our postseason run is as good as over when we're down two goals in the first period of Game 2 in the WSF is pretty stupid -- I think we can all agree on this. On the other hand, if the Wings are clearly playing like chickens with their heads cut off (as they were earlier today), I see nothing wrong with saying so, nor do I see anything wrong with discussing its implications (i.e. sustained "headless chicken play" will cost the team the series and should not be tolerated by anyone, whether its Babs or the Wingnuts paying huge sums of money to see the game in-person).

Get over yourself. The Wings were mindblowingly horrendous in the first, and deserved the crap they were getting from fans. Granted, saying our postseason run was over was extreme, but when a team plays that poorly (especially a team like this one), people are going to say so. Early on, the Wings didn't show any effort or heart. Thankfully that changed.

That passage jumped out at me as well. It's just...weird.

Not very classy, and I can't say I condone it, but giving Joe Thornton the finger and living to tell about it is something few people can claim to have done.
