No no... It wasn't a choke. It was because of the officiating! (Sound familiar?)

yep...and im pompus and arrogant too...i guess you can be when you're on the brink of making one of the greatest comebacks ever...and you know...i enjoy watchin the sharks choke...that's what they're good at...CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE...blah blah blah blah blah..

Wow... Who stepped on YOUR toes? I said my team lost because they played badly. You're the one who moans about things not being "fair and square". When your team loses you cry about how bad the officiating was.

Man... Some Wing fans are just bad winners....

Quit Making Excuses...your team lost fair and square...

Don't turn what I said into an absolute. Last night, the Sharks played badly. The Islanders would have beaten them. There are nights when the Sharks play well and get beat. Just like (Shocker!) there are nights when the Wings play well and get beat.

So if the sharks lose to the wings its because the sharks didnt play well but if the wings lose to the sharks its because the sharks did play well? No credit at all that the wings owned every aspect of the game last nite? they only owned it cause the sharks let them, right?

No... You don't know the Sharks. Last night local high school teams would have beat them.

What an incredibly entertaining game last night... the Wings were able to keep up the intensity that they built in the 3rd Period of Game Five and brought it for all three periods of Game Six! I was getting a little frustrated that it was taking so long to get a few shots past Niemi, especially since a couple were misses on wide-open looks and have to admit was a little worried after the Sharks went up 1-0 on that dribbler past Jimmy Howard. I have seen too many games go down in defeat after dominating nearly every phase of the game which is what the Wings were doing last night (or maybe the Sharks backed-off again). If not for Niemi, that game is a blowout.

If the Wings continue to play like that tomorrow, the series is over! Oh wait, the series will be over regardless of how they play! :-)

Looking forward to Game Seven!

Great win...now make it complete

Wings just made em look like minor leaguers

At least when their opponents play like minor leaguers you shouldn't....

Wow, what a game. Never count the Red Wings out!

You Bet Your A$s.

Congrats ML31 on the Gold Medal--bet youd rather have the win though.

It was an exciting game and the good guys won!

Not at the end of the first... They kept their cool then in spite of the Wings mugging their Captain.
If you are talking about the end of the game I didn't see it. I turned it off when the empty net was scored.

Sharks lost their cool there at the end. I like it!

Yep. He was hot crap for 50 minutes and 30 seconds. Then he crashed down to the level of the rest of the Sharks....

He was 3 ft from the bench and didnt touch it---unlike our score on your complete 6 man defence!

Niimi was crap hot tonight! This game would have been an absolute blowout without him standing in the net!

awwww are you getting upset because your team doesn't know how to close out a series?? **Sarcasm**

You are in the minority among Wing fans. But I agree... The Shark goal was a soft one. It's just that Niemi was having a great game I was hoping that one fluky goal would hold. But to be honest, the Sharks had no business even being in the game as they played like crap ALL game long. They lost every neutral zone battle. And that is what lost the game for them. Not bad officiating. (And the officiating was bad this time) Game 7 has the potential to be intense... I hope the Sharks show up for it....

I, just speaking for myself, don't blame the refs. San Jose's goal was because of another poor decision by the Red Wings in their own zone. The Sharks have a very good team, with some great players. Game 7 will come down to execution, heart, and experience. May the best team win. Go Red Wings!

Do you know the way to San Jose? Yes, it's where the Sharks will play their last game, and where the Red Wings will win Game 7. Let's Go Red Wings!

The difference is... I can take it. I can admit when my team screws up. Your team messes up and you cry about the refs.

Who's pompous now??? shut your hole and open it after game 7

ohhhh how nice it is to be pompus when you can back it up...bring on game 7...CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE

goal should not have counted

too many men on the ice

Effing Sharks. Why can't you play with a lead? What the hell?!?!

Karma has nothing to do with it. Karma didn't make the Sharks play like minor leaguers... If karma was involved, the Sharks would be able to hold a lead!

HUGE powerplay here

Wings are playin pretty hard, just dont have all their weapons---Man, Dats is the shnitzke!!!!

how bout that karma for you... 2-1 RED WINGS

If you are talking about the legal hit on him in the first... What about it? Dats wasn't knocked down at the end of the period. It was Thornton who got mugged. But I never complained about all that. Wings fans are.

OMG>>>LETS GO RED WINGS...BRING ON GAME 7

Crap

what about the boarding of cleary and the knock down of dats after the period ended?

I'm blaming you and your lack of alcohol consumption for the last two losses! :)

I was pretty positive last game... Didn't work out very well. And I don't want to come across as arrogant or cocky like some Wing fans. That is just bad form.

It appears I better be...oh..and yes :)

I'm blaming you ML...GO SHARKS!!!

DUDE...as a fellow fan...you end each statement with negativity..knock it the F off please....GO SHARKS!!!!

Sharks are looking better now that they got one past Howard....

Have you been drinking? It worked in the Kings series....

Niemi has gone completely insane!!!! GO SHARKS!!!!

Sharks have a lead but I'm certainly not celebrating yet... All kinds of bad things can still go wrong...

I see ML31 has been talking to himself again :/

Doesn't matter. If you want to comment on the poor officiating it would be best to point out bad calls and miscalls that go both ways. Else you sound like you are just moaning about calls going against your team.

I was at work :( ..but now I'm home!!! GO SHARKS!!!
