OT Franzen Playoff Commercial
http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=618&id=68822
I am really at peace w/ the wings this year. They battled to get to the playoffs and all the way to the 5 seed. They won a game 7 on the road. They played poorly at times to lose 3 straight by one goal when the refs made it even more difficult to win. They came out and put an amazing performance together last night for the fans. If they win on Sat. they will come back to a frenzied Joe Louis and if they lose they will have given their fans a great season finale at the Joe. Second to Michigan football, the Red Wings give me that great feeling that only sports can do. Hopefully we will continue to witness history. Go Wings!!!
I fail at html....
The new editor, I haven't figured it out yet either.
Are they calling Franzen an ass?
Ok... now I'm pissed (LoL)
Sweet commercial.
Does anyone else find it ironic that you have to watch a 15 second ad, in order to watch a commercial?
seriously. That is what it has come to these days.
I will also not be disappointed by anything that happens from here on out... BUT, can you imagine what woudl happen if the Wings could swipe the next one in SJ. Everyone would be talking about the San Jose choke jobs that have been thier playoff reality over the last several years. They will be bombarded with questions about all thier playoff demons.. over and over and over again.. that is the kind of thing that can snowball....
I agree. I think the wings not getting swept and showing what they are capable of instantly made the off season way more tolerable. The way I see it, they get the win on Sat. and there is a huge momentum swing as the Wings bring it back home for the potential equalizer.
Everyone's trying to throw this win under the rug as if it's just a formality before SJ finishes us off tomorrow night, but I'm not so sure. As you said, if there's a potential combo for a 3-0 meltdown it would be between two teams like San Jose and Detroit. The perennial chokers and perhaps the most experienced team left in the playoffs. I don't think it's crazy to say that SJ needs to put it away tomorrow night or they might be the ones in trouble.
If they win the next one in SJ then all bets are off. It still will be an uphill battle, but it will put some doubt in SJ's mind.
Does anyone know where to find an MP3 of the song used in the "history will be made" commercials? I think it's so haunting and beautiful--I wasn't able to find it after doing a quick google search.
What if Bombay didn't blow a .08?
but the reffing has been a joke in this series and it could easily be 2-2 at this point. That said, the Sharks are much tougher than years past and having a rookie goalie is finally catching up to us. Win on Saturday in SJ and its a series again.
sifting thru the vids, i came across the full version of Stevie Y's goal in his commercial. fascinting stuff - does anyone remember that Gretzky was on the ice at the time for the Blues? I had totally forgotten he played there. . . .Coffey, Larionov, etc. . . .fascinating:

GO BLUE!
That's the best part of that sequence:
"Gretzky had it, lost it".....and then epic.
agree with everything 2blue4u said, word for word.....
