OT - Wings/Sharks Game 5 Open Thread
Do or die part deux for the Red Wings at 10 pm EDT/7 pm PDT.
At the NHL.com preview, Henrik Zetterberg states:
"Last game is last game. There's going to be a new fight tonight and it's important to go out and take charge right away."
Mike Babcock echoes the theme:
"We won a game and now we have to re-establish that here tonigh. I think the start is very important, so you have to be prepared for that and I think you have to put your will on the other team."
Game on.
This team seems motivated and spirited after the game 3 loss. Not sure if that means they will win, but I like the changed Babcock made for the last game. I guarantee we win if Franzen scores 4 goals again.
Oh, let's do it.
Early start for an open thread....... Hopefully they go into tonight with the "backs against the wall" mentality they also had in Game 7 against PHX and Game 4 of this series. I think they will prevail once again.
I feel like this is a game, on the road, where an unsung hero or a crafty veteran nets the GWG.
Maybe Abdelkader or Draper?
I have not seen more than 2 periods of the Red Wings this series. I get the Habs every freaking night.
Habs made it close, getting a goal with 36 seconds left. Couldn't get the last one. Fall 2-1. Penguis move on.
It's 3-2, it's not over yet.
OT? - Mike Cammalleri made it close. And, as Mongoose said, the series isn't over, yet.
Obviously skewed by Game 3. Nonetheless:

Kill The SHARKS(I'm sorry PETA)
PETA refers to them as "Sea kittens."

I learned something today.
ESPN America Stream (looks like CBC tonight):

It's a bit funny streaming a Canadian broadcast from Europe via ESPN.
EDIT: It's the VS. broadcast.

Quermos los barcos!!!
....here we go.
Sloppy start by the wings. Need to defend better
anyone have any idea what the penalty is for?
stream.
added bonus, this is the tsn stream which means no versus shark lovefest

password is lol
...Franzen interference penalty. Back to even strength.
Quick first period.......
...taking any shit tonight.
...penalty. This one for hooking.
goddamnit mule, you can't do that.
it looks like we're skating through molasses.
Sharks look good tonight, but you had to expect that they'd play hard coming off the last game.
Just hope the wings can get the next power play and get the first score.
...period. No score. Wings will have to kill another 0:27 of the Franzen penalty.

Sharks certainly had the better of the Wings in the first period. Wings simply were not dangerous at all.
...and the Wings kill the penalty.
The Wings need to come out and set the tone here. Don't give the Sharts a bunch of PP's this period.
Scores! Bertuzzi deflection!!!!
BINGOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Baaannnngggoooooo!
gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! Nice job of setting the tone!!!!!!
Rafalski slapshot off the inside of the post and in.
Dammit, Wings, stay outta the box!!!
...this time Brad Stuart gets 2 min for elbowing and the Sharks tie it up.
Joe Thornton collects the rebound, resets and scores. 1 - 1.
fuck that. have we gotten a power play yet?
receive
1-1
i have the worst timing ever. literally logged onto the stream just in time for the sharks goal.
...power play after Pavelski takes a hooking penalty. Nothing doing on the PP and back to even strength.
Are you serious. Fucking refs
I know that some of these penalties are legit, but this whole series has been one long parade of Detroit players to the box. Since Detroit was not a particularly penalized team in the regular season, you have to wonder where this is coming from.
And as I type this, another ticky-tack penalty.
What? Wings won a defensive zone faceoff????
...sin bin for holding. Gotta do better on this PK than the last.
9:30 remaining in the 2nd
...even strength. Much better that time. Let's hope the next time isn't so soon.
Lol @ the NHL continuing to assign Dan LOL'Halloran to ref Detroit games....
