I agree with winning the cup first, ain't nothin' like a little superstition working against you

this will be the first game since game 2 of the Sharks series that I can kick back and watch the whole thing. Go Wings. Draper gets the GW!!! shorthanded!!!

wow, some of you guys need to just shut up. Anyone saying Kronwall is even close to the worst D-man in the NHL is just plain stupid. You should banned for being such a dumbass. However, this is the internet, and you are entitled to your whack opinion. Anyone thinking that Quincey is going back down to the minors also is crazy. To perform in the playoffs like he has, basically as a rookie, someone will give him top 6 minutes, if not us. What's his status for next year anyway??

ok man, this being your first post you must learn, do not jinx the Red Wings, bad, very bad

are you freaking serious? English is one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, ask any language teacher!!!!!

Ozzie's awesome

I was at an Incubus concert in Grand Rapids, watching the monitors in the corridors, yep every single monitor had the game on. I was so glad we won that game the way we did. I would have never forgiven myself had we lost.

anybody who says that two inches of extra padding anywhere on goalie eqiupment doesn't matter, obviously has never played goalie

by looking at the above picture, Jiggy's sweater is too big and his glove is too big, his pads and blocker are fine, the nhl has placed limits on the width of leg pads but not the height. you can have them covering your whole leg if you want, this does add to the ability to close the 5 hole. I have no idea if his chest protector is too big because I can't see his body, but in comparison to his head, it looks quite large. I also don't need anybody telling me I don't know what I talking about because I play goal and have talked many times to professionals who custom fit goalies to their equipment

Oh dude you are sooooooo screwed, you might wanna reschedule that date

yeah the Hanta Yo story was quite possibly the stupidest thing I'd ever heard in sports. I thought at the time "Where in the hell did they get this freak???" even his players were lookin at him like he was an idiot

pp cmon boyz

a lot of our team has a great ability of sidestepping checks (Dats and Zetts especially) Hitting the board at top speed butt first like that could cause some damage

Welcome to all sharks fans. I'm sure they'll be some great hockey to discuss this series. however, there is and always will be some really stupid, outspoken total idiots who call themselves Wings fans on thhis board. Our mods do a great job of policing a lot of the BS, but still it shows itself. Please don't hold some of their posts against us. We take a great deal of pride in being knowledgeable and dedicated, but gracious people. Those posts make us all look bad. Again welcome, and here's to a great series.

wings in a really long 7

seriously jonesing for more Red Wings. no prediction, 60 minutes of hockey

does McClaren ever hit anyone face to face? I'd be willing to bet that "butt check" move will be his undoing this series.

Hudler is a scratch

dont know yet.

Calder's back!!!!

Sammy is not a big body. He's a below average player who had a career year LAST year. Calder is everything we need in these playoffs, tough and unafraid. I'd play 12-15 guys that stand 5' tall if they all played like Kyle!!!

I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear the things that Lids, Chelios, Hasek, Babs etc says after tough losses.

if Calder is a healthy scratch and Sammy plays, I will not watch anymore. I don't care what happens.

Titantic??? are you serious???

put Sammy on the bench, play hudler on 2nd line and move lang to 3rd or fourth line. Move bertuzzi from first and second, back and forth. Problem solved, oh yeah, make everybody play harder.
