Really? Really???? Come on now... maybe as one of the luckiest goal ever, but amazing? Sorry, you lost me right from the start...

Apparently he did have the flu or a food illness, but the concussion amplified Arnott's symptoms such as nausea and what not. It all comes down to whether a player wants to play or not regardless of their own situation. If they are set on playing then they will find a way to play.

When will Game 1 be?

My roommates want to see it....

It is confirmed. He does have a concussion. And it is causing for more of his symptoms from the flu like naseau to be magnified.

No Arnott... out with concussion from getting jumped by his own team and flu-like symptoms... Good job Radulov

haha the guys on Versus just did a recap on Wings Game 5 and said Ellis stood on his head... wow

“They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.” Honestly, what is with all the negativity around here? I'm just sick of it! Fire Holland, Fire Babcock, Wings suck, see you next year, we need a new captain, its Dom’s fault, its Lilja fault, what is Zetterberg doing? And the list goes on and on with these negative and pessimistic threads. Everyone knew this would be a tough series. And if you thought the Wings would sweep Nashville, although I applaud your optimism, we knew it was very unlikely. We lose two games and the world is coming to an end. Two games! Let’s not forget who the Detroit Red Wings are. They are the best team in the NHL. They have already outshined and outplayed the rest of the league in the marathon that is the regular season, now they must finish the sprint to the end. They have faced adversity before and have dealt with it and will continue to deal with it as it comes. And who are we? We are the so-called fans of this great team. A fan is someone who is “marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion.” Let’s break that down. Excessive enthusiasm: we are beyond what is considered acceptable, proper, usual, or necessary. We are crazy in the eyes of others because we yell and have passion for a team; we paint our faces and wear their jerseys. We have an excited and engrossing interest in the team. We are glued to the TV. We go to games. The team consumes us during game-time throughout the year. Uncritical devotion: We should be accepting and approve the team without analyzing or questioning it or discriminating between good and bad. We should have a committed love for this team. We should be greatly dedicated and loyal. We should not be putting the team down and counting them out. Yes, players have off nights but others just need to pick up the slack. You win and you lose. This is all part of sports and part of being a fan. There is jubilation and adversity. It is part of life. Everything is not perfect. Let’s support this team rather than tear it down. So I say to you Red Wing Fans, let us all think before we type. Let us cast the negativity and pessimism aside. Shame on you all who have torn this team down with the worthless nonsense that you spew in your negative threads. We will win this series and continue to fight to the end. Let’s all have “confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized.” And that something will be Lord Stanley’s Cup. We are the Detroit Red Wings. Impossible to win the victory, unless you dare to battle. Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum. Let’s Go Wings!

Nice try. I'm probably one of the most conservative people on here FYI. I'm just saying that the over the top and constant complaining should be toned down a little bit. I don't care if you do it, there's just no need for it. The negative threads seemed to be the majority of threads there for a stretch of time and it was just stupid to read the same complaining game after game. If you want to vent then vent. Just don't say ridiculous and unwarranted stuff without presenting a coherent argument such as the Wings suck and Lidstrom shouldn't be the Captain. That's all.

Oh sorry man, I'm not the one who wrote the dictionary definition for fanatic... Idiot.

THANK GOD.... Honestly I don't know what I would have done if they had lost. GO WINGS!!!

Merrrrrrrrrrge.

Ah sweet sounds cool!

I'm apparently completely out of the loop... What exactly is Joe Vision?

I don't know if I can stand this pace much longer... too intense

That hit could be a game changer...

Keep it up boys! Sammy oh Sammy...

Yeah because the Detroit Red Wings would stoop to the level of being goons...

How the hell was it Hasek's fault? He got hung out to dry...

Here's hoping to a Red Wing blowout in Game 4... That was just unbelievable...

There are rules about what players say??

Yeah they are... Their photoshop skills don't even come close to our board's skills. Keep it up! (That's what she said..)

I knew I should have picked Dallas to win this series...
