WCSF Game 3 GDT: Sharks 4 at Red Wings 3 (OT)

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

They can take eva and ZDC with them.

Do we have any chance at Brad Richards?

Now that's a playoff performer I'd like to see on the Wings. Too bad he'll command 6-8 million a year.

[VM1138 1,921]

Not sure where all the Draper hate is coming from. I thought he played pretty well tonight -- assist and +1. He was far from the problem in this game; he played better than guys like Cleary, Abdelkader, Franzen, Fil and Hudler did.

People are just recycling years-old complaints because they can't think for themselves. With them, the problem is Euro players and old guys. Despite the fact that it was defense that cost us this season and lack of offensive pressure that cost us this round.

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

s***, we're dead as it is now. I'd start Ozzie Game 4, put Modano in for Abby and Kindl in for Ericsson. Why the f*** not, there is no chance to win this series. None.

Based on that thinking, we should dress a team full of goons, like that final game in Slapshot.

Just put guys out there to punch Pavelski, Thornton, "The Murderer", Boyle and Setoguchi in their faces.

I'd be content if we went out like that. I'm sick of this Sharks team.

[Ram 240]

Doubtful

He'll be more pissed than all of us combined and come back next year to prove himself and get vengeance.

(at least, I hope)

Agree. Norris finalist. Not like he can't play.

Hit the Refs too while there at it, maybe then they will have a reason to call penalties.

Well, honestly yes, if we're talking cap. Hudler and Flip command what, 5 mil combined? The cap goes up anyway, we could spring 6-6.5 for Richards and still have room for re-signing people or making changes. Theoretically.

[NvrFrgtRussian5 85]

Mcllelen is incredibly modest in his presser...he is overly confidant in this Wings team..

I see what you did there! Not nice....but true...

f*** San Jose.

[JPT 26]

Howard has been good all series but was a reboundasaurus rex tonight - was the cause of a lot of good Sharks chances.

Ericsson, while not to blame for the loss, is noticeably terrible in both ends of the ice. Hope he is not back next year.

The Wings NEVER win in OT! Especially in the playoffs. So disappointing.

Whoever thinks Jagr is the answer needs to have their head examined!

[DyingAlive 27]

If the Wings actually want to Win and not try to coast in the last 5 minutes of the game, they might be able to take 1 or 2 of these games. At this point that would be satisfying.

Not gonna lose faith in the Wings, but it is incredibly disheartening...

Absolute mirror image from last year. We have the majority of the scoring chances in OT and they come down and blast the game winner with ease. Pathetic

[Z and D for the C 712]

The leadership on this team sucks. Hard.

[Online 1]

I love the Detroit Red wings never give up, this series is far from over.

Lets go Red wings Lets go Red Wings

I am behind you guys

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

Well, at least we lasted longer this season than Crosby and Ovechkin.

[Kass 7]

Why don't we play like the Sharks? Do you see those guys? They harass us AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. They've always got someone on the boards, they've always got someone in the shooting/passing lanes, they've always got someone to block shots. They use their sticks to stop everything. Why can't we do that?

lets' Face it... San Jose is just better. I hate to say, but they are. I agree we need to make some major off-season changes. I'd like to trade for speed. I know this won't happen but I would trade Flip, Huds, Bert, and Homer. we won't do it but we need speed and snipers. We had way too many good chances to not win this game or game 2 or game 1 or the 4 we lost last year....

[LeftWinger 4,934]

Hudler/Filppula are about $5.9M.... Richards is at $7.8M now, he'll get more...

Dupuis and Talbot are both UFA's, they are better than most of our team...

[Sgt. Angry 23]

Been watching the Tigers this whole series, because I didn't want to watch the s*** that I was afraid would happen. I finally turned it on in OT, and within a minute, the game was over. So you can blame me, but at least I'm getting you guys to bed at a decent hour tonight.

All the Wings have to do is find another Fedorov, Konstantinov, LaPointe, Maltby, and McCarty, and start all over again. Add to that a few big guys who would insure that in future years we would be the injurers instead of the injurees.

Yep Draper played a good game, he got Helm to play better it seemed and they got results. It is astonishing that the Wings have to rely on the efforts of Datsyuk, Zetterberg and the 4th line so much in order to stay in these games. I think Cleary, Mule, Bert, Flip, Hudler, Abby, and Homer have already given up.

I hate the the sharks!

Did t know that was nt filtered.

Really? You people are pathetic.

[ben_usmc 253]

How isn't it obvious to everyone this team is in need of more skill players, and soft grinders!!

...tis not the game the small skilled Euro-type player plays. Most of our players of that type, avoid the hit. San Jose can control the game because they know for the most part, they aren't going to get hit in the corners or behind the net...
