Detroit Red Wing Odds of Winning Series

[johnnytata]

Haha this was funny, but misses my point.

I was trying to imply that the Sharks carried a large portion of the play yesterday, and if that continued, they would be fine. It felt like the Wings scored on half of their scoring chances, and they cannot expect that to keep up. Now, if Games 6 and 7 look more like 3 and 4, the Wings have a good shot of completing the comeback. But they will have to be a lot better than they were in Game 5 to win it.

nah, i got your point. i was just having a little fun.

truth is, it's been a pretty evenly matched series overall, with bounces that could have gone differently for both teams that would dramatically change the bigger picture.

i think i said after game 3 that the sharks were clearly the better team at that time, can't be up 3-0 and not be a better team. i think if anything, the last 2 games have proven that the sharks were a shade better, while the wings were just a shade better over the last two.

bottom line is that for both teams in this series there is very little margin for error. one bad line change, one turnover in the neutral zone, one mis-timed pinch in, one bad penalty, the other team will kill you.

I agree with this. Its a great series between to very close teams. Its sort of a silly argument (one that I started, I realize), so lets just enjoy the rest of it.

GO SHARKS!!

Yeah, I think Babcock said it best in the post-game conference yesterday... I don't have exact quote and I'm not even paraphrasing correctly but he said something like:

It's crazy out there. There are huge swings with each team skating up and down the ice without the other team being able to stop them. It's up and down, non-stop fast paced action. And that Marleau guy mostly just watches.

(minus that last part but I had to try to sneak it in there... hah!)

Didn't Yzerman help the Wings win a series essentially playing on one leg?

I'll believe it when I see it. San Jose will not roll over in their own building. Going to be helluva game seven.

Any fan, on either side, who's not nervous about the outcome of Thursday night is kidding themselves. It's going to be nuts.

Is this upcoming game 7 the most important game in Sharks franchise history?
