I will not make a predictions...because me + predictions = bad stuff happens. I do have a good feeling about the game though, so that is good!

I will encourage you guys to root for Bobby Lang this time...as rooting for Lang = guranteed win. But most people are sooo stubborn that they won't try it...and we didn't win last time. Too much negative energy is devoted to #20....most definitely.

Well folks, I don't want to sound like a broken record, but this is game 7 for us!! We lose today we are done tomorrow!! No doubt about it!! We have to ghetto stomp these guys this afternoon, we need to have Homer or Bert smash into Kipper a couple of times to keep his booty in the crease, he is killing us by being able to move out 5 feet infront of the net to be able to slow up traffic. I expect a huge game from Dats and Z and yes even Lang!!! Redwings, my Redwings Come on Come on Come on!!!! :thumbup:

So those Flames are getting cocky again saying they have the Wings 'right where they want them' and that they are going to win tonight and tomorrow.

Wow. I hate when teams get ahead of themselves. Play the games first, jackasses. Although I do LOVE when they say these things because it came back to bite them in the ass the first two games.

GO WINGS!!!!

Recent history in game 5 suggests a Flames win.

We are 5-0 since 2004 in game 5.

Flames win 5-3.

Just means you're due for a loss.

Edit: I do like the Wings in this one. They're a smart team, so they'll stay away from the box, and being home should help that. Calgary has yet to show they're capable of doing anything 5 on 5.

Also, I think Z and Dats come to play today.

Go Wings!

I don;t know where you read that Regeher is out for the rest of the series

Flames have him as a gameday decsison

Anyways, Flames still beat the wings without him in the Lineup anyway

Also some interesting Stats

Flames when in Game 5 in the Playoffs have went

5-0

Wings

Lost game 5 last season to the Oilers - In the Joes

Lost Game 5 in 04 to the Flames -in the Joe

Something about his game 5 stuff, not looking good for the wings

And yes I cheer also for the Wings, there was no player like Stevie Y

I like the Flames as Darren McCarty is a fav of mine also

Honestly I hate stats like:

Wings usually lose when a series is tied. Or 3 out of 4 times that Calgary has came back they have lost...or The Red Wings usually win on odd days of the week...etc.

Trying to notice trends from the pass and figure out what will happen is just frustrating to me because each game is different. In any case, we have different players on our team now, as do the Flames...I just see this being inconsequential.

GO WINGS!

I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength." -Winston Churchill

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory! -Dwight Eisenhower
