This old pice of good old european trance : 

Such a shame we're out the playoffs, this is photoshop gold!

For next season then. Gold fortunately doesn't oxidide. 

Boston. They simply have the most balanced team in my opinion. And with Dennis Seidenberg the last German left in the competition.

Congrats to the Blackhawks, but also to the Wings. What a season ending with a lucky OT-Goal in Game 7. I'm pretty exited to see what they can do next season with what is hopefully a stronger rooster. Let's GO Wings !

Visiting team trailing one behind in an elimination game after the second period....reminds me of something.

Our guys always played their most effective hockey when they needed to. So I believe. 

Let's GO Wings ! Shoot the hawks out of their building ! Give Edzo something to mourn !

Beautiful. Thanks for posting this.

Yesterday was bitter. Tomorrow won't be, if the refs do their jobs properly. We play a game 7 against a team who most of us, myself included, wouldn't dream of reaching it, let alone the realistic possibility to win it. My personal prediction at the beginning of the postseason was Hawks in 6. And I think of myself as an optimist.

So I join you in being proud of the guys. Let's GO Wings !

Do it guys ! My new razor hasn't arrived yet ! Oh and what ever happens don't forget guys : 

We still have a game 7. Let's GO Wings !

Found this on Facebook today : 

2010 , Game 4, Detroit 7 - San Jose 1.  We all know how that ended

2009, Game 5, Detroit 5 - Pens 1.  We all know how that ended.

 

There's lots more examples, but we should all have seen enough playoff hockey to know that blowing a team out at home when your back is against the wall means NOTHING.  If anything, it makes the Wings comes out harder than a 3-2 triple OT loss would.

This. I was thinking about the Sharksgame during the whole the third. 

Let's see what we have : Two close periods, where the first could have gone either way and a admittedly bad third. Does it mean were done ? Of course not. The teams reaction may not, and I'm pretty confident it doesn't, show a lack of determination but a high level of confidence in winning our game at the Joe. And why not ? Did our Team start to blame the ref ? Nope. Did the they try to play dirty or frustrated like the Hawks ? Nope, in fact during the last seconds the Hawks looked more frustrated the we did when Keith took the penalty on Brunner.  Did Howard broke ? Nope, he still looked confident after the 4th goal. Did Toews finally outplayed his shadow Zetterberg ? Nope, his coach just avoided the matchup. 

In my opinion we're not out of their head yet. They didn't outplayed us in the matchups where we beat them. If I was Toews my head wouldn't stop working on how to beat Zetterberg next game. If I was Quenville I would wonder how I avoid this matchup. Monday will be another challenge than the last game. If they can outplay us then we're in trouble. But not while we still have home ice advantage.

To be fair we had few chances by ourselves. Even with the pressure up at the beginning the Hawks didn't get many shots on goal let alone quality chances. Could be 1:0 Red Wings either so I'm quite optimistic they get it done in the remaining two periods.

Is it actually an Edzo Bingo card maybe?

If it is I go with "subtile Inteference", "what a great play by the Hawks" and "what an amazing goal by Zetterberg" for tonight.

The obvious one : 

The longer we can keep them from scoring the more it will get into their heads. Hawks are the ones unter pressure tonight not the Wings.

Edzo only provides commentary related to the Hawks.
