And the Flyers lose again!



About the only thing I can hope for now is that Pronger has an earlier tee time than Zetterberg. :)

Good man. I gotta commend you for being a good sport, it seems most of the wings fans I talk to are pissed about the refs or some junk, where you seem to not need to provide excuses. I gotta say, thinking about this thread after a sharks game has provided me with additional enthusiasm!!!

Look at it this way, your team has many a cup, and the magic is not gone but minimized, where the Sharks would value more than anything just a single cup. To be a sharks fan while they get that goal is all someone could ask for (hope for).

Go sharks!!!!!!!!!!!!

its funny, ive heard a lot of wings fans complaining about the reffing....sure it may not have been great BUT they seem to forget the first round where the refs favored them very heavily. It was pretty well a gift that they beat phoenix

Sharks FTW....cant believe i said that being a pens fan and all lol

I just don't understand the Wings. They beat those clowns at least 3-times out of 4 during the regular season! They just aren't being consistant for 60-minutes. The Wings have had too many stupid calls on them... like Homer getting called for goalie interference and Nabakov was several feet out of the crease! Every other goal the Wings score, gets reviewed! Zets did NOT kick that one goal that was negated in the last game. I'm not into conspiracy theories or whining but I just have a lot of questions. Maybe, the Sharks learned too good from Mike Babcock! As much as I would just love to see the Wings be the third team in NHL history to coma-back from a 3-0 defecit, it ain't gonna happen. [:/]

Never say never. Someone's got to be the third team.....who better than a team who's lost 3 games in a row by 1 goal, with one game going to OT ? All we need is one less shot to hit iron, or one less stupid penalty, or one more hustle play.

The mantra of a Sharks fan. :o:ph34r:

It's true though. These are the Redwings, playing the kings of choke. If any team could pull it off...

Regardless, tonight's game is going to be epic. Can't imagine either team not showing up for this one!

I just about threw-in the towel but just couldn't bring myself to make the wind-up.
Did you see the look on the Shark's coach's face? I thought he was gonna... Wings just scored! 5-0!!! anyhow, blow a blood vessel!

The pens got done in by the ghosts of Howie Morentz and Rocket Richard!!!!!!:P



I only saw the last 7 minutes...what a finish! Looks like Fleury let in a bad one at the start that he'd like to have back.

These Habs are for real!

Yee-Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Wings - 7
Sharks - 1

Franzen got a Gordie Howe 'Play-off Hat-trick'! Holy Cow!

So the $2,500 question is--will the Red Wings violate curfew again at SJC? If they'd lost tonight they would have mercifully avoided another opportunity to live up to their name.

The Wings just let the Sharks know that they weren' going down without a fight.

I guess the Wings unspooled just enough primer cord tonight.

Versus handed off their coverage to some outfit called Comcast Sportsnet California, who were so unbelievably biased that it almost made the game unwatchable. I laughed out loud when, with about 2 minutes left to play, one of the announcers commented on the fact that Babcock was still rolling Zetterberg and Datsyuk out for their normal shifts, and the other announcer stated " Babcock knows they'll take care of themselves, and he knows the Sharks won't get chippy or anything -- this is playoff hockey." Made me wonder what game he was watching.

I hope you have fun at the game, but that you're ultimately disappointed when you leave. :)

The third period went as expected. The Sharks were trying to put Wings players out on stretchers. I'm sure, the Sharks were frustrated and showed it. The next game in san Jose is going to be ugly! I just hope, the Wings get through it and get game six in Detroit. What a series!!!

Yeah, the Sharks got an epic schooling tonight.

On a good note though, this means I get to go to a playoff hockey game - we have tickets for game 5 on Saturday. B|


If you run into my old grappling buddy Drew Remenda (Sharks colour commentator) please say hello from Murray!B|

I hate runaway games for that reason. They get chippy and ugly and people get hurt.

Game 5 won't be a continuation...the Sharks won't want to take penalties and go back to Detroit for Game 6. The Wings can't afford to get into penalty trouble. Soooooo, it should be a good hockey game.
