Red Wings

I like Franzen back with Z but having Dats center a line with Filppula (who doesnt shoot) and Homer doesnt seem like a great fit. I'd rather see Cleary on that line.

I wish Hossa wouldve somehow stayed. Dats and Hossa are a good combo.

How Not to Play a 2-on-1 Let's examine this play to see what the Detroit Red Wings did wrong. http://www.battleofcali.com/2010/5/5...-play-a-2-on-1

Professor is long-winded.

Rafalski left Howard hung out to dry.

Oddsmakers in Las Vegas have put the odds at 8-1 that the Wings can come back and eliminate the Sharks.

The odds were developed by Las Vegas Sports Consultants, which formulates betting lines for a number of top casinos.

Lets see: (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = (1/8)
Must be a tough job figuring out odds is Vegas.

Guess you can't type 8 followed by a )

Brian Engblom has his SJS tie on tonight. Ain't that nice.

If you keep taking penalties, eventually it's going to cost you; and especially when it's a stupid, boneheaded penalty like what Stuart applied.

Stop... taking... stupid... fucking... penalties.

That was the most pathetic Power Play in the history of ever.

And they cap it off with a penalty to Bertuzzi.

I swear the Wings are playing like they're the team leading 3-1 and it's not that big of deal if they lose.

EDIT: Followed by the second most pathetic Power Play in the history of ever for the Sharks. Four minutes of man advantage for both teams netted zero shots on goal.

[Drew]

Well that was a well run power play. Then end it by putting the sharks on one.

Sweet.

[Drew]

Good kill.

[chemiclord]

Hey! It's a shot on a Power Play!

Haven't seen one of those in a while.

Both teams look like they are trying to skate through molasses. Just a really sluggish game all around. I'm trying to think of one player on either side that seems to have that extra step, and I can't think of anyone.

Anyone else feel like the next goal wins this thing?
