Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus! Here comes hopefully an Epic Game 7!

When we went down 3-0, my heart sank with the millions of Wings fans across the country. To play so hard and lose on a redirection off a stick can kill any momentum. The experts who picked the Sharks to win felt confident as did anyone else that this would not go beyond 5 games.

So the Wings win game 4, OK the Wings made an effort.

The Wings play a lackluster game 5 but thanks to a Herculean effort by Jimmy Howard and Pavel Datsyuk the Red Wings stole a game that should have been over in the 3rd with San Jose making plans to fly North into Vancouver.

Game 6. Niemi has proven me wrong. He can play an outstanding game and it looked as though the Sharks would win with a shutout and steal one of their own. Then the Red Wings exploded on the ice in the 3rd period and would not go down without a fight. The empty netter was icing on the cake.

Now the Red Wings and the Sharks are looking for that game 7 victory. Who will fly home and who go on to face a well rested Vancouver Canucks team. Could it be the winner of this series be too beat up to take the Stanley Cup? Or will the winner of this series prove that the West is the toughest Conference to play in and against.

The Sharks seem to be desperate to show that they are tougher than the Red Wings and the better skills team. The scrum in front of Howard was more of a test of wills than San Jose trying to tie up a game. Of course as I write this the San Jose History says Never say Never commercial plays.Then again the Sharks have won from behind and are still one of the most dangerous teams in hockey. They play with skill and determination. To say they're done would be a mistake. A horrible mistake.

The Detroit Red Wings are on the verge of proving all the naysayers and haters wrong that they are too old, too slow, and being out out worked by a larger, faster, better team. These allegations are like clock work every season no matter who they play. Yet Detroit relies on its role players as much as its stars. Goal Tenders will face the brunt of all ills facing Detroit despite playing on their heads. The Red Wings are an unorthodox team with late draft picks and giving aging players a second chance at glory. With a puck possession game that moves pucks all over the place that can break down and frustrate a team as well as any trap defense.

Come game 7 win or lose this has been the best series of the Western conference perhaps this year's playoffs. Hockey at its best. Any who says otherwise is a fool. Now is the question is who steps up to win. This is Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus! To the San Jose fans you have a great team there with some up and coming stars. Whoever wins this series it's been a wild ride. See you in game 7.

LETS GO RED WINGS!
