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.
it's worth trying...
Alright...
doesn't matter we are still going to lose. I have seen this game before.
Are you related to" the_big_house 500th?"
kiss my ass.
the sharks will ties it up with 1 min left, and then win it OT.
I have been dong punched way too many times and know when it is coming.
I've got the feeling right now that I've grown accustom to feeling about Michigan sports over the last couple of years..... Hoping with my whole heart but deep down expecting an unendurable dong punch at the most gut-wrenching moment of the game.
Lidstrom!!!!
(Edit: actually tipped by Homer.)
LOL NO WAI
THAT
JUST
HAPPENED
This guy is too good
YES! The ageless wonder strikes again!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! LETS GO!!!
Great job by Datsyuk to steal and keep the puck and get the assist.
my dear sweet baby jesus...
DATSYUK
and
LIDSTROM.
and Homer.
that was gorgeous.
I feel the need to wax eloquently...
OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!
Shut it down Jimmy. We need you to be clutch.
I don't buy any arguments about the wings' age.
Wait, where did all the Negative Nancys go? We're still destined to lose, right?
Wolverine319? Any thoughts?
He's probably writing Brian an email to complain about people.
I am right here. Have something to say to me????
Are you trying to pull off your internet tough guy routine again?
Yes.
On the internet I am 6 foot 8 weighing 275 with 30 inch pythons.
In real life I am 5'11 140 lbs.
Now that that dude's posts are gone, i just look certifiably insane.
I accounted for this on page 2, where, without his posts, I look like I have an imaginary friend.
just set the threshold to -1. I am still here.
Is he attempting to catch MSU's passes as well?
Captain Kirk does alright keeping Tacopants on the pine.
Except sometimes when he throws off his back foot. But that's not necessarily "tacopants" as much as it's "other team's db."
one name Abs. sharks will tie it here.
I'm just going to assume you're setting yourself up for less heartbreak or more excitement depending on the outcome.
Notsomuch...
Sparty NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why I root for the Persians when I watch 300
Xerxes would have won the battle of Thermopylae if he had an army of millions of wolverines.
Xerxes probably hated being forced to sit on the beach for an extra few days. Otherwise, Thermoplyae was fine for him. Afterwards, things didn't go quite as well.
Fucking a. If we survive this pp, we'll win. Jimmy needs to be clutch.
Abs takes at least one awful penalty a game. If this comes back to bite us in the ass i'm personally going to his house and paintballing the shit out of it.
Yay, PK!
I have to give credit to the announcers on versus. They are actually praising the effort of the wings. Honestly, they are kinder than Ive been tonight.
I bet you are just a joy to be around
Interesting, the refs are definitely praising the wings here. I'd say it's definitely warranted, given this resurgence. Hopefully Howard gets rewarded for his performance.
The other players throw him a pizza party?
2.4.
be still my heart.
edit: 2.9. sonovabitch.
Comin' back to the D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all of a sudden I don't hate those "History will be made" ads quite so much.
what a period for the wings! finals be damned, I'm watching hockey on Tuesday!
Law school finals v. Hockey.... I dont think its going to be too hard of a decision
YES! I'm still fucking pissed about Game 3..should be leading the series 3-2. Oh well...I love our chances in Game 6. GO WINGS! #shocktheworld
That was one I'm glad I caught on the net. Good to see Kronwalls interview. SUPER happy not watching Lidstrom's last...
hasn't indicated whether or not he is retiring at the end of year. I wouldn't be surprised to see him back.
