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?

Modano can provide a lift to one of the other lines. If any of his old skill remains, he could make a big contribution on the power play.

Clowe is out.  Howard has been playing great.  The Sharks are historic playoff choke artists.  I predict the Winged Wheel forces game 7 4-2.

I'll be missing the first two periods and maybe part of the third, but I should catch the end. That's the virute of working at the dollar store next door to your house: no commute.

I think Modano can help, especially with the power play, where he's on the point with the 2nd unit.  We haven't made them pay too often for the penalties they take.

It's too bad that Franzen hasn't been healthy - when he is, he's good for at least a goal per playoff game.

But you play with the guys you got, get goals like Cleary did, go to the net and jam the puck in.

I really want the Wings to make the Sharks face an elimination game, so they're gripping the sticks tightly and feeling that familiar constriction in their breathing.

What a privilege to have Kronwall and Datsyuk play for your hometown hockey team.

And I can't wait to see what Mattison is able to do with our Defense.

I just hope our offense is creative enough to keep putting up big numbers with our playmakersl.

GO BLUE!
