PrintThe Wings have scored 3 goals in every game of the series thus far. Tomas Holmstrom deflected a puck in with his skate for the first goal, Dan Cleary scored on a onetimer from the faceoff circle area and Henrik Zetterberg banked a pass off a Shark and past Nabokov for the third goal.

I want to see the Habs tie this up...
But I REALLY need to see them win it in regulation so effing VS switches to the game that matters.

Sometimes it sucks being a Wings fan in Wisconsin where I don’t have the option of watching the local broadcast.

ok end this game
my lame pens fan roommate won’t let me change the channel back
why did you ever get a pens fan for a roommate?
If you’re in school, I hope you get a better one next year.
Sorry I'm late to the party tonigt...
GF was over and have been watching the game while she was on internet. Looking good, minus the penalties tonight guys. Could easily be 5-0, but I’ll take 3-1. Howie looks good other than his brain fart at the end of the first, and Zetterberg never ceast to amaze me.

Empty netter for Dupuis. Game over.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
5 penalties isn't too bad, about average for a wings game
but then again, we only have 2:07 of PP time…
Back off man, I'm a scientist
versus needs to stop showing the pit game now, and switch over...
i want to see part of the wings game on tv.
NOBODY CARES WHAT MALKIN HAS TO SAY.
Switch it back! Damn you Versus!

Unbelievable.
They put the Sharks’ TV feed on Versus.

I shouldn’t complain too much. At least I get to see the rest of the game.

"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
so
how bout we start playing hockey? maybe generate some offense instead of fucking around in our zone the whole time.
remember that stretch a few months ago when we'd give up 2 goal leads every day that ended in 'y'?
i’m having flashbacks
Jimmy has saved us a lot tonight and in the series
Goals he gave up were soft but the 2nd goal he couldn’t do anything about it
CSN commentators acting like..
yes of course that is a penalty
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
Man I don't think I can do this....
This is weak shit….
by BeardedPlayoffJesus19 on May 4, 2010 9:07 PM CDT reply actions
6 penalties. 6.
I mean, seriously? Sharks have 2. And only one was a PP longer than 8 seconds. This is absurd.
Wow.
CSN guy just called Pavelski “Datsyukian”. I’m going to puke. And I LIKE Pavs.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
Again, as a Badger fan, I still like Pavelski.
But the media man-crush on him over the last week is getting to be too much for me.

It is a real pain in the ass watching the Wings all season long, watching them come together as a team just before the playoffs. It can’t end like this… And if it does I will never watch regular season hockey. Ever. It hurts my heart all too much.

Sharks out played wings in the 3rd
Refs shitty calls haven’t hurt us aside from the call back goal…but hey what can u do
Wings are do for a PP at least…I hope
True
But at this point all the shit called against the wings the 22PK’s in 3games (so far) the called back goal. I’ve just gotten to the point were I expect this shit to happen. I’m just happy in the fact if wings do lose this series I’m done with hockey for a good long while.
I thought the refs were bad in 07 series against the ducks. And both series against the retarded birds. but this series just takes the cake
A PP in OT, ha!!!!!
I can’t see that happening unless it’s too many men, or someone loses an arm or a leg.
i think you're giving the refs too much credit
they enjoy being a part of the game…especially when that involves determining the outcome

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
god this is too much
i can’t handle more than 1 OT period

How am I supposed to get my papers written when Red Wings Playoff OT hockey is going on?
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
I'm rocking back and forth in the corner
with my blanket
I'm entertaining myself by arguing with a stupid Wings fan and a decently smart Pens fan.
Good OT intermission pasttime.
Okay help here..
Howie’s in over his head, and Ozzies been playing in practice so he’s fine. They want Ozzie in. I’m just kind of laughing..where do I even start?
haha
tell them ozzie hasn’t played in months, and it would not be beneficial in any way for him to start in OVERTIME. maybe use big words so he gets confused
He gave up
“I’m just gonna be pissed if they lose”
well duh, even though I’m defending Howie, I’m still going to be mad if they lose!
wow he sounds brilliant
i would hope that, as a red wings fan, he would be pissed if they lose. putting ozzie in would ensure a quick wings defeat
" a decently smart Pens fan."
Sir, there are none.

cue-ball there needs to shut the fuck up
I hate everything he says
screw the game sound
i’m just going to listen to jazz on NPR
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
i'm thinking of muting that game
and finding some enya. i need soothing sounds lol
I noticed they somehow forgot to show the sharks 'own-goal'
during the highlights. i could go for another one of those
I just thought you were really surprised..haha
Yeah, Facebook status reads “put Ozzie in net!”
So I had to argue for a while
Apparently so. I argued for a while
(and no offense meant) but he’s male, and I’m a girl. He just wasn’t going to agree to disagree, so it wasn’t worth it anymore. You guys generally know EVERYTHING when it comes to hockey, and girls know nothing, so….
very tentative play
i feel zero emotion right now
Music blasting so not listening to feed
But that was a blanted trip in front of the sharks net the refs missed right. Or did i miss something
My internet has been out for the last week
So I’ve missed you guys. But the Wings are making me sick.

Im just pissed and don't care any more
Shark will lose in 7 if they chocked once they will do it again.
im not a long time hockey follower
but its seemd to me howard was way too committed to that one side of the ice in that two on one, or is that just me?
Moisture is the essence of wetness.
i guess not
this is my first season really being committed to following the sport and learning about it, so sometimes i think things are a way that they aren’t, if that makes any sense.

all ridiculous annoying people…
All the reasons I hate for stupid Wings fans.
It’s not a damn conspiracy, they’re not too old, and NO Ozzie should not have played. They just got beat. There are more reasons for that, but none of those in particular.

Sometimes a dog needs to be put to sleep
Like a home team that botches a 2 goal lead in the third, in a must win game.
In this case the Wings are Old Yeller.
Except there’s no rabies-induced rage. Just a complacent please-end-my-life sloppiness that plagues their entire being.

Pathetic defense attempt by Rafalski on that 2 on 1.
You have to get down and block that pass and force Thornton to shoot. Also, Pathetic defense by Ericsson in just letting Couture take that wide angle shot to tie it. Pathetic goaltending on the first and third goals. Good job Wings, outplayed them… but found a way to lose again. This is midseason all over again. Also another flop by Naflopkov. Not as many bad calls, but I really find it hard to believe that the Sharks couldn’t have been called for more than 2 penalties. The problem is that the Wings aren’t falling. 2 full power plays in 2 games. Something isn’t right.
i don't think that had anything to do with it tonight.
we gave up 2 in the 3rd. one was a terrible goal that any goalie should save- jimmy played it like rec league goalie. he needs to step it up and be solid for an entire game.
nothing else

I'm simply at a loss
I break out the jersey for Game 4 as all my superstitions are sucking it big time. I will not drink a beer every period, I will not stand for the whole game,
This Sucked
As much as I disliked the reffing for most of Game 2, some of Game 1. The sharks won more on our inability to defend ourselves when we needed it most. Congrats to the Sharks. Unless a miracle happens, we might actually be going for San Jose if Chicago advances or we will care less/go for the Canucks if they advance
One thing for the Sharks...
If they make it to the finals at last (and they’ve had the talent to do it for years), they god damned better destroy the freaking Penguins. I want to see little defeathered bird bodies dangling from the bridges of Pittsburgh after they finish with them.
Otherwise what freaking use is the entire damned team. Unless Robert Ballard is hiring for a new expedition.

eh....I'll be on the other side if that matchup happens
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
cant agree
I can only root for teams who arrive to the Final on their own merits, and SJS had games 1 and 2 pretty much gift-wrapped for them. Sorry, but I can’t root for a team for which penalties was a larger factor than talent. I’m not saying San Jose doesn’t have talent, but I’ll be damned if they’ve had to put it to much use.
No Limits.
hold that in reserve
Maybe see how they deal with Vancouver or Chicago? They might earn something there.

I'd actually root for the Blackhawks against the Sharks and Pens.
The Blackhawks don’t mistake the sport for an Olympic diving exhibition.
I would for sure
I’m just not sure their goaltending will hold up. If it does, I like their style and I like a lot of their players.

I'm the most Pesstimistic person
But this is a god damn 7 game series u just need 1 win before it turns into 4. If any team in any sport could do it these guys can, so until the final whistle blows and all is said and done I still think wings win it in 7.
The sharks won’t advance this series is just started. Wishful thinking or not but until I’m proven wrong it’s my point of view
I may feel the same later on
Just not right now. I’ve been watching for years and every playoff loss hurts to the core. :(

I wouldn't mind someone Clauding Jumbo Joe.
Overrated player, tremendous waste of talent. Don’t want to see his name on the Cup.
No, just bitter.
Thornton has been an overrated choke artist since his days in Boston, and he’s arrogant for no reason.
If you knew the first thing about Joe, you’d know he’s the least arrogant guy out there. Seriously, other criticisms I can understand, but the dude isn’t arrogant at all.
Also, choke artist? Let me just take a quick look at tonight’s box score…
The curse shall be ended.
Battle of California
Everyone lucks into a good one every now and then.
Ten years of gagging doesn’t get erased with one good series.
And yes, he’s an arrogant jackass and has been since he came up.
I suppose
We should just be happy about the Wings second-half run and keeping the 100 point+ and playoff streaks alive
I'm sure after the season is over we will be
Considering that in January we were thinking the team might be in the mix for a lottery pick as badly as they were doing. Just while the season is still hanging on by a thread it’s hard not to think that way when you want the team to win.

Suddenly...
…my preseason Stanley Cup winner pick, San Jose, looks to be really smart right now. I thought this would be teh year they break through in the playoffs, because I mean if you’re a top 5 regular season team for like 5 straight years you’re bound to make it to the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Finals at some point. But it sucks, because I had hoped I was really really wrong about that.
Alas, I hope I am still wrong about that. And hey, it would be cool if the Wings made history here.
Think positive…one win at a time…think positive….
