Wings Sharks Game 6 8:00PM EDT Modano in, Ryane Clowe Out.

Pre-Game on Versus starts at 7:30. Puck Drop shortly after 8:00. FS-D is carrying the game as well. 

Complete TV info: VERSUS (HD),TSN (HD),RDS (HD),CSN-CA (HD),FS-D (HD)

EDIT: Modano is in for Franzen. Ryane Clowe is out for Sharks with an "upper body injury". Ryane Clowe is the Sharks leading scorer in these playoffs and plays on the line that was causing Detroit the most problems with Couture and Heatly. 

The Wings and Sharks faceoff tonight in a huge game 6. Momentum is favoring Detroit, while the heat is turned up a bit on the Sharks. Questions heading into tonight’s game. Will Franzen play? Modano is itching to play another game, I'd imagine he will play as The Mule logged 0 minutes of playing time in the 3rd. Can the big power line with Thornton and Marleau come up big in this game? The difference for the Sharks has been the play of Couture, Clowe and Boyle. As all three have scored timely goals for the Sharks. The Wings playing at home with the last change should help them out a lot. The home team has been the team to register more scoring chances and shots on goal. Also the sharks are 0-6 on the PP in the last two games. The Joe will be rocking tonight. Detroit wings the first game in this series by more than one goal 5-3. Detroit gets the empty net goal at the end.

Any one else have any other thoughts on tonight’s game.

What is everyone drinking tonight while watching this dandy of a game?

I'm not convinced there needs to be a thread on this game this early, but meh.  WOOOOO GO WINGS!!!

Detroit has momentum, and it's home ice.  I'm hoping they can take care of game six.  They need to fight off complacency, and I think they manage it tonight.  I think they win by one with a third-period goal (it always seems to come down to that).  I just pray there's no overtime... it has not been kind.

Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.

I'm guessing the NHL is concerned that fans in SJ might have a tough time getting to the arena by 6pm.  The HYPOTHETICAL Game 7 is scheduled for 9pm though FWIW ... which is hopefully something.

If it is difficult for SJ ticketholders to get to the game by six, it means they will have to spend their "dinner money" at the concessions.  I can't imagine the team and NHL not liking that.  SJ just wants to keep the late-night component of their home-ice advantage intact.

Most people/organizations don't seem to know the difference between EST/EDT. I almost always see EST year round even if we are in the EDT phase of the year. It really only matters when you start to look outside this country to compare time zones since most of the states all switch to Daylight savings and stay in the same zone except for Hawaii and Arizona.

Welcome to the new NHL.

In the old NHL, nothing would have been called and Thornton would get his bitch-ass kicked later on.

In the new NHL's supposed-rules, it should have been 2-minutes for slashing on Thornton, 2-minutes for embellishment, and let's say 2-minutes on Franzen for roughing for after the whistle.

In the actual new NHL, it was that bullshit.

Coach Mke Babcock has no doubts his team will be right back on the team plane late Tuesday night or in Wednesday's wee hours of the morning.

Oh, we're getting on it," said Babcock, who earlier in the series described himself as someone who focuses on the positive and has “always thought that I could defuse the bomb.”

I believe majority of the few teams that have come back from a 3-0 deficit have floundered in the following series. I didn't do a lot of research on this, but that is what happened the few times I witnessed it. I think it is because of a natural let down once you accomplish something so huge.
