OT - Wings must win and does anyone have a feed thread
Salai has been a nice surprise. Very effective all playoffs and few mistakes. Now let's get another goal boys!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Ffff;uuuu
ugh noo we had this game
crap crap crap. and it was scored by a former member of the dynasty...i hate miami...
very nervous. basically sudden death now.
I would love to see Franzen get the winner.
OT. Time for videogames.
bad feeling about this. Sharks are undefeated in OT in these playoffs.
I believe they're also 6-0 against us in the last 2 playoffs in one goal games, which this game is guaranteed to be
I have a bad feeling about this....
May the 4th be with you everyone!
damn this blows. we badly needed this.
i dont think anybody feels good during overtime periods.
on a positive note, the wings do look a ton better to me this game. the first two they looked unorganized and didn't have good puck possession. tonight they are at least controling the game at times and getting good chances.
Agreed. They have definitely took it stronger to the net tonight forcing SJ deeper into their zone. Wings deserved to lose the first two but IMO probably deserved to win this one. Unfortunately, they don't cash in on a handful of good scoring chances in OT and one slight deflection and it's 0-3. Ugh.
I am bracing for the dong punch
The playoffs been crazy this year. Out of 21 days of hockey, 20 days have produced overtime hockey.
Too many good chances with no goal.
fear the counter charge
love the charge
Finally. LETS GOOOO
C'mon, Wings, get that PPG!!!
Or score later! ...but please score first...
interesting penalty call, but who cares. wings must take advantage.
I don't have a rooting interest in the game but fcuk, that was aboot the worst call ever...on par with the Nashville call last night.
Gotta end this game right now.
Wings wasting too many chances.
at least the wings are getting chances. keep up the pressure and hopefully something good will happen.
EDIT: damn. nevermind.
You gotta be fucking kidding me! Son of a bitch!!!
That sucked
well....baseball season is coming up.
I am going to kill someone.
goal
It deflected off Zetterberg's stick.
stick the fork in them. Sorry Wings fans; after watching this team three games in a row that's a regular season team not a playoff team. The talent disparity between Thornton and every other player on the ice tonight was that substantial.
the talent disparity between thornton and ericsson on that last play was substantial. that's it.
I'm not invested in this thing but it sure looked to me like Thornton was dominant in that overtime (i.e., it was Thornton who blocked a shot on the Wings OT powerplay and gained possession/cleared it off the wall later in that same shift when the Wings had it deep). It was Thornton who thoroughly humiliated Ericsson on that last play...oh, and he set up all three of Setoguchi's goals. Easily the best player on the ice. In watching that game I am puzzled by the Wing's lack of intensity excepting Zetterberg/Datsyuk who looked great.
OT you were watching . The Wings had almost of all the scoring chances. Nobody on the Sharks was dominant in overtime. That goal might have been the first scoring chance they had in OT.
You shouldn't come in at the end of a game thread and tell all the fans that their favorite team was outplayed. I know you're trying to stir discussion or whatever, but it's just too soon.
Its just hockey up here; I don't feel your pain but I get it.
looked like two pretty evenly matched up teams. The Wings had the majority of the scoring chances in OT, unfortunately the Sharks got a lucky deflection off a d-men's stick. Sometimes that is the way the puck bounces.
sometimes that's the way the puck bounces? I haven't seen a puck bounce for Detroit since this series started.
this series even more frustrating, even though the Sharks did play better in games 1 and 2. Thought the Wings played better than the Sharks tonight, but unfortunately the scoreboard is what matters.
wow I didn't know the talent difference between a single D pairing and a single player was substantial. I would take Zetters and Dats over any player on the Sharks.
you should know better since you have only watched three games...
Sorry, Thorton was not better than Pavs tonight. Pavel was everywhere and was unlucky several times as well. Thorton did have a very good game, I will agree.
Your from canada this doesnt surprise me you say this. Every quality player on San Jose is canaidan. minus Pavelski. Canaidan hockey fans have such a huge bias toward their own players its un real. I hate people from canada esp. hockey players nothing is more enjoyable than beating a hockey team from canada and watch them "try" and send a message it's precious.
FUCK
how the one-time best defensive team in hockey and just about highest scoring team in the regular season looks listless in the postseason.
When they were scored on first on the powerplay, I figured this is how it would end. What the hell? How hard is it on the penalty kill to not let a guy stand at the corner of the net and ignore him?
Aargh
look listless tonight. They played alot better than the first two games. Thought they played better than the Sharks for a good portion of the game, Niemmi made alot of saves to keep SJ in the game and in OT though.
It is just so frustrating that they keep coming up on the wrong side of one goal games against SJ.
son of a bitch
between the Wings teams that won playoff series a couple years back, and the Wings of this years and last years playoffs is simple. The Wings are playing not to lose. Both the OT games Detrroit had the lead in the 3rd and was content to continually give up the puck deep and then chase it around the rink. What happened to keeping the damn thing?
SUCKS!
