HaHa!!! Yes! That is exactly the type of game the Sharks have never really been able to pull off.

Big Joe with a clutch performance.

That's it. If you can't sit on a 3-1 lead for 15 minutes, you don't deserve the cup. Even the ref's shitty crease call didn't factor much.

The Sharks are different this year. This series is over.

You know what?! Good fucking riddance Wings. They don't deserve to win this series. That was atrocious.

LOL, what the fuck was Ericsson doing? Did he forget he plays defense?

[evanmarnoch]

Wings sure were shooting high on Nabokov a lot. Funny that it lead to the GWG.

[msaputo]

Dumb dumb play by the Wings, smart smart play by Big Joe. Just coming off a line change, normally supposed to be down low, but like a smart player he saw only Rafalski back and that puck coming around the boards, so he waited at the blue line and bingo.

Man, I'm watching this replay and just have to laugh out loud at Ericsson DRIVING THE NET?! And of course nobody is covering for him.

so are we playing vancouver or chicago next? grind it out boys, take yer time.
unless the wings come back and win 4 straight.
bwwwwaaaahhhhhaaaa!

I'm not a bitter fan. Sharks have paid their dues and they're playing well. Maybe, just MAYBE it's their year.

[feriado]

the NBA and NFL and MLB should call the NHL and teach them how to schedule playoff games so they get their moneys worth - two great games tonight overlapping each other.

yeah, it seems that way. when it's your year you get all the calls and the bounces. add that to the sharks ferocious play, it just may equal a title. congrats, douchebags. i've followed that team since their infancy. i hope they win the cup. i just hope i'm home in time to see it happen.

i'm still happy with my wings.

18 straight playoff appearances
10 straight 100 point seasons
4 cups in 13 seasons
6 finals appearances in 13 seasons.
3 or 4 presidents trophies

also, what an terrible series officiating! that penalty shot call was ridiculous.

whatever, most seasons end with a loss. there's always next season. i'm still getting that 'D' from the winter classic sweater (the old detroit cougars logo) tattooed on my forearm tomorrow.
