glad to see there is still some optimism in the wings camp. a seven game series is a long one, and i've seen many go in the opposite direction from where this one is at now. all the wings have to do is win 3 at home and steal 1 of 2 left in san jose. given their record against the sharks, it's not to high of a hill to climb.

but here's to hoping it doesn't happen.

sharks in 6!

[MississippiWing]

We should freaking win all next two games. Series is far from over. Let'sf****** rage

This!!!!

The secret is.........I run a brothel. All the members here who are guys get the best hookers if they give me +1s on all my posts. They're clean, really enthusiastic and think hockey fans are SEXXXXXY. But please don't tell the cops, I don't want to get shut down before I hit 2000.

Haha. In that case you owe me over ten hookers at least. I'd like at least four voluptuous-type shaped; but a woman with no implants or any kind of alien stuff in their bodies. Not a fan. Race doesn't matter. For the other girls I'm thinking... Scandinavian imports. I've been in an accent kind of mood lately.

Seriously though you're not the only one with high numbers. I guess all that's done in the water cooler forums and whatnot and I don't spend any time there so I have no idea what goes on there. Must be good though.

Montreal only did it because Halak stole three straight games and Washington's powerplay couldn't score for s***.

Do you think Howard can steal three straight from the Sharks while getting outshot 45-15 and to have our PK own the Sharks PP?

I doubt it and hope we don't have to find out. That's a good enough explanation for why we can't go down 3-1.

Going down 3-1 would likely be the end of the series.

You're assuming that they'll win a game. At this point I don't know about that.

For me it's like this.

I say the Wings will win in 6 or 7 games.

If they lose a third game, I'll say they'll win in 7.

If they lose a fourth game, I'll wait for next season and say they'll win then.

I believe they can win any game and any series until I have definitive proof otherwise.

I'm a fan. This is what I do.

A very positive fan.
Good outlook I wish I could share,but you should be commended.

How is your rep in the one thousand range?

It was in the 50s when I saw her profile a week ago.

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

Yeah, this whole rep thing just seems inflated for too many posters.

I mean how the hell does GMR get a rep over 100?

[Electrophile]

Why do either of you care? Just asking.

Series is far from over. I actually welcome the Sharks fans who think otherwise. Series heads back to San Jose 2-2 bank on it.

I don't know about the actual series game tally going back to SJ, but you are absolutely correct that the series is far, FAR from over. The Sharks know firsthand what it is like to completely blow a 2-0 lead, just four short years ago, to the lower seeded Oilers, who came back from a 2-0 deficit, and advanced to the WCF after winning four straight games in a row, winning that series at home in six.

Tell me the Sharks team isn't aware of that little precedent/possibility.

Many have said here that they will worry if the Wings lose one at home. I echo that in reverse. If they come back to SJ tied 2-2, I will be very, very worried for the Sharks, who really do have to steal at least one at the Joe.

[Doc Holliday]

I am indifferent. Don't know how you got me caring simply because I posted about it.

Outside of sheer curiosity I'm not exactly sure. I just saw it and it seemed freakishly high. I was curious and in amazement somewhat. I don't think there's anything more to it than that.

Yeah seriously. You're an *******. And I call you that because I'm pretty sure you take that as a compliment. I didn't think others would be so understanding but I was obviously wrong.

Thank you...

And I agree. I've felt a strange calm since this series started; I was more nervous for the Phoenix series, but even then I felt that the Wings would win that series. It took them seven games to do it but they took their game to a new level and pulled it off.

Even now, with the Wings down 2 games, I feel calm. I vented along with others about the poor officiating, but I firmly believe the Wings can still take this series. Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but until this team gives me a reason not to believe, I will stand behind them and believe that they can do anything that they want to.

[sphere10]

Even as a shark fan, I fully expect the Wings to look like a completely different team in Game 3. I think you will out shoot us and I think you'll actually have a slight edge in faceoff wins as well (or at least even them up considerably). The Sharks defense can be taken advantage of and even with two losses you guys have still put up 6 goals so it's not like Nabby is standing on his head.

Barring a collapse by the Wings or Nabby playing his best playoff game ever, the only way I see the Sharks taking this game is to keep it tied going into the 3rd and then scoring the go ahead goal in the last ten minutes. We will need breaks to keep falling our way and as a Shark fan I wouldn't know what that looks like so it's really hard to see it happening. Hell, Game 3 could turn out to be something ridiculous like 6-1 Wings.

That being said, I'm hoping to be proved wrong. Go sharks!

[Grypho]

I hope not, but it is definitely possible, and if they do, I do want it to kick the pendulum hard to one side, big enough to humble the Sharks, and also big enough to give the Wings overconfidence going into Game 4. It's for that very reason that I'm glad the last two games were won by small enough margins to keep the Sharks focused, and also to possibly cause the Wings to believe that nothing on their part really needs to change, aside from officiating, a change of behavior on the other team's part, or something else outside themselves.

Even that's an illusion. They know they have win more faceoffs, and they also know that they took several (too many) penalties that weren't the slightest bit controversial. At a minimum, I fully expect those adjustments have already been made.

I like being the bad guy.

Like Gary Oldman or Triple-H (back when he was still a bad guy).


But I'm pretty sure there's a glitch in the system when some posters have like a -400 or some s***. No way anyone has that much free time on their hands.

Pretty sure "Electrophile" is part of the "Water cooler crew" where they post alot of nonsense in them threads and have agreed to give eachother "+" all the time because one can give infinite number of "+" but not "-"

No, she already explained it. She has a brothel. Think about it. I'm one of her "girls". In order to rent me, you have to give her 10 plusses for 5 days. That's 50 plusses per man who has the pleasure of my company. I then get "gratuity plusses" after the fact in appreciation of my services. We then "comp" our best customers by giving them plusses, and (to get back on topic) that's why we have no worries about this game. We're all happy, and the good vibes will flow all the way to Detroit, which will energize our Wings and produce a Zen-like state from which they will overcome any obstacles the Men in Black (and White) throw at them.

As to the Water Cooler: Many of us enjoy it, so what's it hurting?

Hey I post there, and nobody gives me +'s all day long.
