Must play PHYSICAL and allow less shots against.

GET A LOT MORE THAN 25 SHOTS THIS GAME

ALSO PLAY IN SAN JOSE'S OFFENSIVE ZONE MORE THAN IN OUR OWN

GO WINGS!!!

[Konnan511]

Wings had a near perfect game one and everyone is freaking out. We weathered the storm of a long lay off and almost pulled off a win on the road. Who cares if we got dominated on the stat sheet? Truth is, we brought the Sharks to OT in their home arena while playing short handed the entire second, third, and OT. We just need to steal one of the next two in San Jose and we have the series won because I don't see San Jose winning in Detroit. I mean, look at all the line matching Babcock had to try and do FFS.

Go Wings and F off haters, go be a Vancouver fan if youre going to be a fair-weather ******

[DRW Dominance]

I am actually really excited for this game. I effing hate sj now more than ever. I expect a lot out of our wings today.

4-2 for the D.

[ACallToArms]

No they won't come back down from 0-2 as I don't think they can come back from 0-1 as I have already written them off as a result of what I've seen thus far!

Playoff time really brings the trolls out. Did you create a LGW account just to complain in the GDT? Did you even watch the game on Friday? I can't imagine you did if you're willing to write them off at this point.

It took you too long to set things up. San Jose had things up quicker than you. They dominated with their GDT. Sadly I don't see this GDT being able to top theirs, not today and definitely not if the series becomes 2-0 San Jose. God I hate the Sharks. I bet the refs help with their GDT threads. Their mod must work for Bettman. It's going to be a long game if this GDT doesn't get its act together. Maybe Matt can fire up our posters and we won't embarrass ourselves in front on the Shark posters.

[Jericho613]

Its not like San Jose ran away with game 1 so we just need to get more shots at the net, split Dats and Z up except for on powerplays. I have nothing against the Sharks, but I don't see how the Wings can't score on Niemi, hes not that good of a goaltender I don't care if he has won a cup. Franzen has to shoot the puck, Cleary has to shoot the puck, anything can happen when you fire the puck, that's how the Sharks won in overtime.

Konnan, great parody whine about the GDT. Certain troll like doomsayers need to drink a quarter keg of STFU.

I won't be able to watch the game since I have to play keys for the final performance of Phantom of the Opera this afternoon at a neighboring school, but I think the Wings come out and make a statement today. If Jimmy plays as solid as he did in game 1 the rest of the way and offense actually gets a decent amount of shots on Niemi from here on out then the Wings will be just fine.

[b.shanafan14]

Here's hoping the Red Wings from the first round show up and Jimmy Howard from Friday shows up. We need everyone playing like Howie and Pavel did Friday. If we can do that, Wings can handle the Sharks no problem. As much as they should have won Game 1 save for the bogus penalty to tie it, its probably better that the Wings didn't win when they didn't show up. Losses create urgency, which the Wings sorely need.

Here is hoping for a solid, willful game by the Wings and that the refs do their jobs right and stay out of the f*cking way. So long as the officiating is consistent and the Wings show up, this series is theirs.

Franzen said, "It's tough to know what you're allowed to do out there. You can get your head cut off in one sequence, and then you can blow on someone's neck and you get a major."

From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/a...s#ixzz1L7Fu3IZc

Niemi is a rebound machine and looked uncomfortable handling pucks last game, the Wings need to drive the net and pick up the garbage.

Wings 4-2

[AFwinger]

If we play better and the refs don't buy into the diving I say 3-2 Wings (Dats, Zett, the mule), if both of those don't happen than Wings lose 4-2.

[Jasper84]

I passed out during the second intermission the other night, so I have absolutely no idea how we lost or what the third period/OT was like. I have just read a few comments on this board since the loss and I am very confused. Wings have been playing some really good hockey that us fans have been greatly enjoying and after one loss, quite a few people already giving up on the team. Just makes me wonder wtf it was that I missed in one period and whatever OT it took.

I personally am not worried one bit, it's only one loss in the post season so far and I believe that we're taking today's game and heading back to Detroit with the series tied at 1.

[Firehawk]

If Howard plays like he did in game 1 and the wings team steps up the intensity I will not be worried. San Jose played about as well as they could and they still almost lost.

The wings played a great 1st period and then seemed to lose some intensity. It was weird, usually it's the opposite. I would fully expect a higher intensity game today, much more hitting, much more focus, much more offensive pressure.

5-2 wings today.

Need this game big boys. Hoping Wings make this horrible day of studying and bush league much better. Let's go Wings!!

[Anijuice]

San Jose played like they typically do against us while we sat back and we still took them to OT. What gives me hope is remembering LA score a s***load against them - if our 2nd and 3rd line guys at least show up, there's no reason why we can't beat the sharks.

Playoff time really brings the trolls out.  Did you create a LGW account just to complain in the GDT?  Did you even watch the game on Friday?  I can't imagine you did if you're willing to write them off at this point.

Well, obviously the team SUCKS if they can't win the cup by sweeping the entire playoffs. Duh!  

So psyched for this game. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Wings are not doomed to utter failure because they lost game one of this series. In fact, I'm going to go way out on that limb and say that they have a better chance at winning this game than Rebecca Black has for a major record contract. I'll even go further out on that limb and say they have a better chance of winning the game than Donald Trump has for staying married to his current wife for 3 more years. I'm venturing out to a very tiny branch of said limb to say that the Wings have a better chance at winning this series than Don Cherry has the chance of being chosen as the Prime Minister of Canada (as the new leader of the NDP, predictably).

6-2 Wings.
