Haha that's awesome!

Not hating...actually makes me smile. :-)

As a Sharks fan from day one lastnights win was about as sweet as it gets. The Wings have tormented the Sharks all during the Pre Cap Era. As a result of that and dealing with bandwagon/and or obnoxious Wings fans at the Tank. Most of us Sharks fans have a true dislike for all things winged wheel. It just comes from years of being the Wings doormat and having to hear crap from obnoxious fans.

The Sharks pulled off an Epic comeback last night and removed many demons in the process. Yesterday before the game I said line 1 looked like it was comming around and Jumbo and Patty two goats in past years got 2 goals. The Pavelski line still scored though they stopped Pavs the line was not shut down. Second the Wings failed to hold onto a lead again and took too many stick penalties again. The previous very physical 7 game series has clearly exposed what I have been saying was the issue with this Wings team all year. The Sharks in a sense got very lucky that The Yotes took it to the Wings so hard and wore them down. This series would not be as loopsided if not for the Yotes. Well also the fact that the student clearly learned some of the teachers habits and his old teams weaknesses. Lets face it though the Wings barely escaped the first round.

I said and continued to say the following things this year about the Wings: First year Salary Cap is effecting them, aging leaders on the team, stars will no longer take less money to go there, Not as deep. It will be nice seeing the Wings struggle like every other team in the years to come. The Wings are still a good team and I am sure will continue to make the playoffs. That said the Wings continued dominance and trips to the Conf and Cup Finals will be ending. What worries me is that with the current economy and lack of money in the D will it have an impact?

All that said this Wings team has amazing veteran leadership and I still think they can grab a game or 2 hell maybe 3 before the Sharks finish it. As to them taking the series? The Sharks are the masters of the EPIC IMPLOSION so you just never know, but this would be an Implosion for the ages and I am sure Wings fan would love it. It wont change the yearsto come though.

OOOO and buy some shorts. Its been in the 80s lately.

First, the serious. Only 2 teams have ever come back from 3-0. 1942 Leafs and the 1975 Islanders. Almost an impossible feat in the NHL.

Now, the less serious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJXZLnMPiQ4&feature=fvw

:-) :-) :-)

getting close to game time:-)

Watchin a little BOS vs Flyers before going to watch Mitch practice. One of the Cup commercials came on with all of the pics of Crybaby from last years win. I said to Alina, "it's all about Sid". She shakes her head and says with disgust, " it's sicking, he's, he's, he's such a pu$$y!".

ROFLMAO

If you knew my wife and how mild mannered and sweet she is you would be as well.

I just had to share. :-)

Love it, Al! :-)

Philly is down to "do or die" time in the 3rd.

Picking out something to smoke for the Hawks game.

Three down and one to go....It's Tuka time :-)

:-):-):-):-)

Wrong on so many levels!

First that needs to be Gary Bettman there, not Pierre! And second, Sid is a giver, not a taker!

Chris that was some knappy ass ref'ing in the Hawks v Canucks game tonite. So many blatantly missed calls, not the least of which being goal #5. Allowing it or disallowing it would have had zero effect on the game but you're honestly going to allow any goal for any team to stand when 2 of the opposing players crash the net and score by pushing the goalie over his own goal line? Honestly? I'm betting AV and Gillis are already on the phone with the NHL's head of officiating ripping him a new one for allowing such absolute BS from the ref's.

That and why is it that as soon as hockey players start making a min of $800K/season they apparently loose the ability to count how many other jerseys that look like their own are already on the ice? So so sloppy.....

Opinions may vary. :-) :-)

Nice win for the Hawks...not nice because they played great, but because they were dominated in period 1, and came out with a 2-0 lead. Outplayed in perios 2, and come out with a 3-2 lead. 3rd period was the way they need to play.

Great game by Niemi, the Canucks easily could have had a half dozen goals.

And Dustin Byfuglien...."How you like me now?"

From a Hawks fan's perspective, I saw calls missed both ways. The 5th goal was kicked in my a Canuck D-man, and both Toews and Buff were jostling with Canuck D-men when they crashed the crease...but I am sure I would not be happy if the goal had gone the other way and been against the Hawks.

Good game for the Hawks, they seem to have recovered well after Game 1.

I still think this one might go 7, but happy the Hawks are up. :-)

So what's up with these guys? :-)

They are doing it wrong! There is only 1 Green Man:
