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

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Just not in the cards. I've been as positive as possible in these playoffs, but we arent a team that wins OT games. I'd love, love loveeee to see it, but I dont believe it's gonna happen.

[sputman 1,268]

well as long as we're thinking positively

[tdinc 45]

This Wings team is an absolute mess. whom are we kidding.... The Sharks have this teams number.

frustration and disarray is setting in on the Wings.. and its showing,

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Ok, all the negativity needs to go away from this thread now. The Wings will do this tonight.

YES.

[Guest Grayne Wetzky]

I guarantee this:

If San Jose scores in OT, Ericsson and Rafalski will be on the ice. The coach needs to pull his head out of his ass and get these two stooges OFF the ice PERMANENTLY. They suck against the Sharks. Plain and Simple.

What was the stat about the Wings in OT? 8-16 or something?

Yeah, OT is not good, especially with a team as fragile mentally and physically as this one appears to be...

Mule in OT

Z deserves the Winner the most with assists from Dats and Nick.

When's the last time SJ lost in OT? Ya doesn't happen ... Wings stink in OT at home too. Would be amazing to win it... but we might as well go to bed now should e done in 5 min

[aMonster 96]

I see Detroit's experience winning this one in OT, both teams are tired but SJ is more tired and making the kinds of mistakes that the Wings know how to capitalize on despite fatigue.

[Firehawk 305]

How come all the fans know that PREVENT DEFENSE IN THE NHL DOESN"T WORK 99% OF THE TIME?

Oh mY GOD. The wings decided to play prevent for 15 minutes of the 20 minute period. You could just see the ******* goal coming.

I swear to God this team is not a stanley cup team, no way. Can barely kill penalties, doesn't get the puck out of the zone smartly, doesn't want to scrum for goals, etc, etc, etc.

I really hope we win but come on. Sharks are 6-0 in 1 goal games against us the last 2 years in the playoffs and have won all the OT games.

STreaks are all meant to be broken but I have zero faith. Goin to bed, can't take it. Hope I wake up and we won.

I am calling Pavel Datsyuk in OT.. he looks like a man who is determined to force his game to another level... also what the hell is with our forwards leaving guys on the point wide open tonight?!

[lookalive07 251]

This Game shouldn't be in OT. At all. We've been patting like the sharks played the first two games.

We deserve this one.

[sputman 1,268]

cool kid rock is at the game? awesome! he's our best fan! and chicago's! and carolina's!

I think Supernova used up the Wings jinx already.

[Canned Heat 4]

This is what happens when you sit back and play prevent defense. This game should have been over if the pedal was kept to the metal.

I've never felt this good before about a Wings game going to OT.

Sadly, it's because I don't expect us to win.

For some reason, God likes San Jose.

where has Detroit's experience been this entire series?

Experience doesn't matter for s*** when you don't put the effort in consistently.

[Guest stinky fish taco]

wings are always garbage in OT. sharks soon to be 5-0 in extra time.

I cant say that Rafalski sucks. He does have an offensive upside and I dont see him make "TOOOOO" many bone head plays on D.

However, Ericsson down right sucks big stinky monkey nuts.

Sharks are no strangers to OT, since they've gone to OT in like....almost every game.

Not to be pessimistic, but the Sharks are not the team you want to play against in OT.

[Guest mjtm77]

well boys we are either down one game or down three. Fait is in your own hands

[26point2 203]

1. PK at the beginning of OT, we kill it, but can't clear the zone...Sharks score.

or

2. Win the opening face-off, Dats gains the zone w/Lids trailing...Dats takes the shot, Lids puts away the rebound.
