[cjm502]

LETS GO WINGS!
Time to make history and end this series!

[Hockeytown0001]

Per MLive, Mule is a game-time-decision.

[cjm502]

I would rather have Mule sit out. We dont need a guy with an iffy ankle playing in this game 7, we need speed.

[RedWingsRox]

Agreed, Modano did fine in his place. The Mule is not the best skater to begin with, if he is not 100%, then save him for the WCF :>.

[puckbags]

Play the way we played on Tuesday and we win no doubt about it, off to Van city, I can go to the game, all is good. Simple requests for a simple guy !

[wmubronco420]

I think if Franzen is 100% or really close to it, theres no doubt that he should be playing. I mean come on, it's the Mule we're talking about here. Though i do agree if he's is the same shape as game 5 then he should sit.

Anyhow..Lest Go Wings, make some history.

[HOCKEY MATTERS]

Normally I'm not like this, but if Clowe plays, I think the Wings should focus on his "flu-like symptoms". I only say this in light of Big Joe s***bags's antics of late, and more importantly, the lack of zebra interest in these lowlife shenanigans.

Wings continue with momentum. 4-2 last goal an empty netter. Wings spend an inordinate amount of time in the box, and one of the goals is a shorty.

[clairbear303]

I wish it could be game time already, I already feel sick from being nervous.

Go Wings!!!

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

History will be made. Does anything more need to be said?

[marcaractac]

Go Wings!!!

I've been sick to my stomach all day. Even had to go home early from class this morning lol. I have no idea if I'm actually sick, or if it's a result of how much of a nervous wreck I was watching the game last night. I just hope I'm better tomorrow because feeling sick + having to deal with a game 7... oh my lol

[brennan17]

If they play like they did yesterday with a little more puck luck of course, than things should look good in our favor. Im gonna be hella nervous for this one tom..

[greenrebellion]

I scored free tickets to the game! I'll be driving up from LA.

It will be interesting to see how Babcock adjusts the lineups now that he doesn't have last change.

Ya, i really want to see flip with pavs. That would be awesome

[MGreenberg]

EVERYONE LOOK OVER THERE! It is a Shark choking,someone go help it. Actually on second thought, let it choke because it seems it is all it knows how to do.

[RedLightGoesOn]

Bring the Thunder and complete the comeback to win. Show SJ what it takes to win and expose them for being chokers.

[Wingzman91]

60 minutes to Legend status, drop the puck!

[Travis]

[8 Legged RedWing]

I'm not ready for hockey to be done. This team has too much potential. Just win! Go Wings!

[Casey]

They have this. I said after game 4 when my mom asked that it would be either Sharks in 5, or Wings in 7. Why?

Win game 4, force game 5.
Win game 5, plant the seeds of doubt.
Win game 6, Neimi starts overthinking- you could see that late. His rebound control went to hell.

Red Wings 4, Sharks 1, see ya in Vancouver.
