Everyone is bored tonight.

My reply post is also gone.

Someone should tell him that it is behind him.

Some people may not have the room to do that. A laptop is great for watching and posting but people may not be able to afford that. Lack of streams is the problem tonight, plus the game is pretty boring. Even Ken and Mickey sound bored.

Damn right it was Gretzky who lost the puck to Stevie.

Wings looked bad for those couple of minutes there. They looked slow again.

Then take the remote away from her.

There are a lot of out-of-market posters on here and some people may not have cable near a computer or have cable at all.

We can only benefit if we win. The Sharks will have a slightly weaker team without Nabby and will probably let in more goals. Lack of streams is killing LGW tonight.

He doesn't keep his head up.

It could also be because of the lack of streams for this game.

The Sharks are 2 up on the Wild. Wings need to pull a win tonight.

Yeah, this is a pretty boring game. And of course it is another PK.

That Nabby injury is definitely more serious than the Sharks are letting on.

Very slow.

Nice PK by Maltby.

The goalie is out of the crease so there should be no penalty. That should be the rule.

The Wings don't usually fair well when they are behind in faceoffs.

The guys need to pick it up in the blocked shots department. 0 is unacceptable.

They were talking about something that Downey said. What was it that he said?

What did Downey say?

MLive The lines look much better than what was reported from practice yesterday. Hope Holmstrom has a great game tonight and I hope that the D decides to show up in front of Conks.

I think this is the most likely situation. Hopefully a good embarrassment gives the team the kick in the ass that they so desperately need.

It's pretty hard to come down hard on a team with that many veterans. The guys know what they did wrong, they don't need to be berated about it. Then again, the veterans could be ignoring the problems by telling themselves that the ship will right in the playoffs.

I think this is the most likely scenario unless Osgood has a couple of more horrendous games. If the defense wakes up in the playoffs, as I expect they will, then Osgood should prevail and play well. If not, Conks is a solid goaltender that has shown he has the stuff. The Wings are just bored right now, that's why they play so bad sometimes. They know they are a lock for the playoffs and they don't care about home ice throughout, they can win without it. My guess is that the team flips the switch for the first game of the playoffs and never looks back.
