The Wings don't seem to play well when there's no pressure. Sometimes it's a game, sometimes a series, sometimes an entire playoffs. If there's no pressure, they often just don't play up to their potential. If any team has that mythical "switch," it's the Wings. Hopefully being down 2-0 in a Game 7 is pressure enough to flip the switch that we saw in Game 6. The skill is there; the desire needs to match it.

I still think we're gonna win but if we go down 3-0, I will begin to lose hope but let's not forget, weren't the Flyers down by 3 goals in Game 7 last season? Look how that turned out. Definitely not a position you want to be in but they still have 40 minutes of hockey left.
Hopefully Babcock can light a fire under them during the break.
I honestly have no hope. I know I deserve to be negged but were not playing good at all
Ken Daniels says Bertuzzi out with an upper body injury, won't return.
It's a shoulder injury you could tell the instant the collision happened. Bertuzzi after the contact start to favor that shoulder right off the bat.
still on a powerplay????
really like the effort from the 4th line at the end of the first as well as that last shift.
these lethargic whistles going against howie are killing me...
IN THE NET!!!
Kronwall and Helm had golden chances. Gotta start capitalizing on those.
another Shark PP.
Another PK
was THAT call?
30 minutes is a hell of a lot of time; the tide is turning.
LET'S GO WINGS!
wait, are you fucking kidding me?
hope the refs don't suffocate with their heads so far up their asses.
If they ever make a hockey version of the Harlem Globtrotters, Dan Cleary and Jonathan Ericsson will be first liners for their Washington General's counterpart.
That was a garbage call! They skate into each (incidental) and they call Datsyuk?!
fucking BULLSHIT
Dats got RAPED by the sharks, Holmstrom get shis knees taken out (again) after getting whipped with the shark stick, and the penalty is on us?
We're getting worked in faceoffs and beaten to pucks even when we outnumber. Not looking good for the wings.
If Sharks score I hate to say it, but I think the Wings are toast. If they can kill it maybe they can get some momentum.
but whatever.
They just killed a penalty and then scored. I call that a momentum shift.
jackass joe with a nice trip to take eaves out of the play. someone needs to drop the gloves on him, and soon.
Zetterberg!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let the comeback begin!
wooooooooooooootttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Fuck yes let's bring this shit BACK
WHAT NOW, BITCHES!
and the san jose fans boo. what a bunch of idiots.
IT'S NOT OVER!
I think I just dislocated my shoulder with a violent fist pump.
I know someone who actually did that cheerng for the pats
POKE CHECK OF LIFE
Ok, we have momentum, lets do this wings.
Ok, we have momentum, lets do this wings.
Great 3 on 2 led from Dats right out of the box leads to Zetterberg goal on a awesome Filppula assist. 2-1 now. Let's go Wings!
Cleary down.
no, cmon, cleary....
FUCK.
Of all the bad luck...
Damn was that hudler running into him. Shit
Anyone else catch the announcer comment regarding Thornton's faceoff shenanigans?
Is that actually cheating or just against convention?
it is cheating, though I do feel like it is pretty common. it seems like the wings just need to harp on it until the refs do something about it.
I saw they threw out shark number 8 (name escapes me), with a point down to the ice, seemed like a crackdown on it. Wasn't thornton, though.
right, that's pavelski. that one looked like he just went early, that's all. don't think that had to do with the running start.
Yeah, Pavelski, thanks....
are down 3 top forwards. That is too much to ask of this team to try and win without those 3 guys.
the wings can do it.
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE.
