If you don't score on a PP in OT (or right after it) you don't win.

Um, tell that to the Sharks who won 30 seconds after failing to score on a double minor.

no offense but holy s*** most red wings fans are a bunch of *******. At the start of season you think they will have a record breaking year you think stanley cup hands down no one els has a chance, after 4 games in you thought this team was toast. after little slumps you want to trade every one on the team and fire the staff. sorry but most people are right when they say wings fans are *******. we have been spoled over and it clearly shows the effect it has had on you guys. Stop complaining believe in your team and watch game 4 tommorow as it could verry well be last game in the NHL. wings fans should make sure to cherish whatever games are left in this series as the odds are Lids wont be back next season

Sorry, the DRW fan you're describing isn't me. I'm a realist.

I'm pretty sure the Wings will stay in the NHL if they lose game 4. Unless you mean the shame will drive them to the minors.

I ment to say Lidstrom's last game

Sorry, Never said it was you I said most people

[CanadaBoy]

After what Chicago did? The Wings will at least take it too game 7.

[sinbin]

One game at a time!

[rrasco]

This isn't about game 5, 6, and 7. As it stands, the Wings need to concentrate on game 4. I live for today because tomorrow has not come. The Wings live for game 4 because game 5 has not come. Anything can happen in a hockey game. Crazy bounces, puck luck, and everything between. Skate fast, work hard, and shoot shoot shoot. You can only play one game at a time and if this series was over they wouldn't drop the puck tonight. There is a reason they play the games, because anything can happen.

Can they win this series Yes, will they probably not. I've seen this team do some amazing stuff in my years of being a fan I believe in my team and I love the Wings It would be very hard and it would mean a total total team effort and they CANNOT play they way I've seen them play this season. If they can do what they did last year in game 4 and do it for 4 strait games than San Jose has no chance but since I don't think the Wings will be able to do all that they won't win. It's not over yet.

[AtlantaHotWings]

As much I would love to see them come back I am thinking they grab tonight for pride.

Just in case they do win and to assure a chance of winning the rest. I am working on a time machine to go back to 1997, 2002 and grab some players for the rest of the series.

[Hockeytown_Ryan]

Wings will probably lose tonight.... WHY you ask???

This is why....What he says here before game 3 holds true today and therefor the result will more than likely be the same


You need to make some changes to the way you play when you can't play the way your used to playing.
adding Draper for Miller is not a change...

Babcock is starting to wear thin with me. I am so sick and tired of hearing "We need to find a way to...(Fill in your phrase here)..."

and Hockey Gods. that's another one I am starting to hate hearing.

[MulesWillFly93]

HELL YEAH THEY CAN!!!

What the hey, might as well have a little team spirit before the season ends.

[Blood On The Ice]

The real question is...Do the wings have what it takes to make history?



BELIEVE

Do they have it? Yes.
Will they put it all together? No

[HankthaTank]

Going to be tough. I said no as I have seen us be that close and still can't close it out it any of these games. Jimmy has been OUR MVP but no one around him I can even mention outside of Pav, Nick, and a gutsy round by Hank. I want to eat crow for this everyday of the week and love it up. Prove me wrong as I still believe!

This is a pretty ignorant post...

First off, of course we thought we were gonna have a great team this season and do well in the regular season... and we did.

Most of us remember last season and knew that if we faced the Sharks, we could very well lose again... we are.

IF we lose this series, and there really hasn't been any indication that they won't. Especially considering everyone is to the point of wishing for a lucky bounce. If you are depending on lucky bounces in order to beat your opponent, you aren't good enough... they aren't.

Of course they could turn it around, but if they don't start imposing their will with a little more zest, they wont. IF they lose to the Sharks (again), personnel will have to change. You can't just keep repeating the same things over and over hoping for a better outcome. That's insanity, right?




If the Sharks sweep, and their isn't some kind of personnel change beyond bringing up GR guys, then it will be another short playoff run again next season imo. If the Sharks sweep, there are only about 3-4 totally untouchable guys imo.

[BigWinston]

Wings win this series? Erm, no...

[rrasco]

That's one. It is now in the past. Sunday is a new game with a new scoresheet. One game at a time! LGW!

[sinbin]

Think about it......what the difference is in this series is......lucky bounces......puck luck....deflections...... this has been very entertaining to say the least.....did we expect anything different? And it is still up for grabs!

[purrrnella]

All the games have been so close. you never know, but i do know its not over!

[GunnarStahl]

Can the Wings win the series? Yes
Will the Wings win the series? Maybe
Does Mike Babcock like to answer his own questions during pressers? Absolutely

[Motown4013]

This series is very deceptive...It could be 3-1 Wings...or more likely, all tied up at 2-2. A weird bounce, a bad penalty- the difference is so slight ..we are so close to breaking through. We have momentum coming into game 5. We CAN still win this series!
