OT: Can the Wings Bring It Back to the D? (YEAH! WOO!!)/ Game 5 @ Sharks NHL Thread
Same formula: throw pucks at the net early and often and go hard after them, work hard in the corners, skate, skate, skate. Hopefully get puck luck, early goals and stay out of the box.
It's tough, though, facing elimination every game.
Franzen looked better at the start of game 4, but the announcers pointed out in the second period (IIRC) he was slowing. Hope his ankle has improved, we really need him to get going.
I, too, am tired of EXUCSES. No more exucses... whatever those are.
No more punctuation, either.

and I am tired of divers

in an additional unsportsmanlike conduct or diving call for the acting job. How many clear acting jobs is San Jose allowed before they get called ? There is nothing to deter them from acting, without something being called.
Your wrong Thornton was called for the little trip on Franzen not the dive/acting job.
Your fucking blind if you haven't noticed the prevelant diving/acting by San Jose in the last two playoff series against Wings.
THAT was holding? Bullshit.
at least jimmy howard showed up. I don't know about the rest of the team.
I found myself saying that last year for sure. This series, I actually feel like at least the Wings deserve to lose. The officiating hasn't been spectacular, but the Wings haven't gotten it done when it ounts.
Officiating has completely ruined playoff hockey. What happened to the days of putting away the whistles and only calling the egregious penalties?
just to be clear, the announcers on versus are actually San Jose's team announcers, correct? Otherwise, this is pretty horrible in terms of lack of bias.
If you're talkng about tonight's game, then no. PBP is the guy from Carolina, while the color guy is from Dallas.
Took me a bit to format that one so it was understandable. Hope the result was worth it.
EDIT: Was in response to a post that was deleted.
That we'll pick a puck up and score on a breakaway.
PS: THANK YOU JIMMY HOWARD
Wings have a PP?
Wow, I didn't know the Sharks were capable of taking penalties.
What the fuck? They aren't doing shit on this PP.
that might just be the worst power play i've ever seen
someone get on the horn to babcock - tell him to show the team the team the team video at intermission, then get the hell outta the way.....
Wings are too Soft. I'll be the one to say it. We need more North American players. I keep seeing guys like Kesler, Legwand, and Canadian players kicking ass while our "Euro's" are hurt come every playoffs. Our best player in this series has arguably been Todd Bertuzzi since he is willing to play a physical game.
plain and simple. I suppose Franzen and Datsyuk are soft for trying to battle through injuries tonight,
"your" an idiot. How ironic.
You might need to update your profile pic. Up to you though...
Are you happy now? Of course my mistake doesn't make his viewpoint any less idiotic. I suppose Kronwall is soft since he is European according to that viewpoint.
Canadian guys like Thornton aren't soft right?
Imagine if the Wings were led by five Russians instead of a bunch of hard-nosed Americans and Canadians?
Oh... yeah...
VETS GO VED VINGS!!!!!!!
Exactly, I mean both Datsyuk and Kronwoll are from Manitoba, right?
I think Kronwall is technically from Alberta...
you are a fucking moron.
Lay off the heroine for a few days.
except our leading scorer in this series is our 41 year old Swedish captain...
Im starting to find it inescapable. The sharks just look better. 5 on 5, they are getting to the pucks, and look like they know what they will do with it before they even touch it.
Wings look like the only guy with a plan is the one with the puck right that particular moment, and no one else knows what the plan is.
100% this is an even matchup. With the injuries, the Sharks are the better team. Franzen not be able to factor into this series, is a big difference.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
fuck this shit. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
I hope Vancouver ass rapes san jose.
Fucking bullshit. Wings are playing like SHIT. Deserve to lose.
This is the most pathetic display of hockey I've ever seen out of the Red Wings in my life. Slow, sloppy, soft.. just awful.
Edit: Now they play. If they can tie this I'll eat my words all day.
Kronwall!
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't that exactly the same thing SJ has been doing to us with the defenseman rolling forward?
Wait, you SHOOT when Pavel passes you the pucK?
Finally somebody (Kronwall!) figured that out.
FUCK YEAH!
Yay...a goal.
I AIN'T HEARD NO FAT LADY...
Kronwall'd!
couldn't have happened to a better douchebag.
wow, what a hit,,,Kronall again!
Just as Nick Lidstrom's urologist whether he's "soft" or not.
You've never played two months of hockey with a sprained testicle?
at least kronwall showed up as well.
