Ultimate torture. It's maddening being a Sharks fan.

Gave them a chance to win it for sure. Given them a chance to win every game.

I'll go back to playing WoW but just wanted to say... you guys expect way way WAY too much out of these bunch of chokers.

They said the same thing about the Florida Panthers some years back...

but they had heart...

 

[rares]

Not nervous at all. Gave up on the team last game so expectations = zero.

 

[filosofy29]

Well. I think Lidstrom gave a retirement speach after game 3.

Fuck. Goodnight boys.....tough loss. Hopefully Detroit acting like a bunch of bitches at the end fires this team up.

Never used his speed, not physical, missed the net. But you can't blame Marleau for this one only, this was a team wide stinker. They did not deserve to win playing like that. Overall effort was an F-.

 

[caliraftdude]

Not very proud of the end of that game either - that pile up at the DET net is not showing a lot of class. That is NOT what is meant by showing emotion and heart...

 

[naes666]

embarrassing to be a Sharks fan now...i hate that many of my friends are Wings fans will not hear this end of this for a lifetime if the Sharks don't man up and win the final game.

so angry with this team, tired of always hoping for them to progress to the next level.

down to one game at home, hope that will give them some mental advantage. they sure as hell need it.

 

[filosofy29]

thAt was Detroit, not the Sharks.

 

[koblix]

TM should have call TO after Logan's goal....anyway, we will get them on Thursday...history will be made either way....

Go SHARKS!!!!

worst part is i have many wings and nucks fans as friend.

If SJ loses, im not following SJ until DW is fired

This team is the softest team I've ever seen, and that includes basketball teams such as Marshmallow Nowitzki, although he finally showed something.

 

[WestEndVol]

I know one thing. The Canucks are going to have their hands full with either of these of these 2 teams.

Have to agree there... they started making everyone believe toward the end of the year and then limped into the playoffs. They did a good job early in this series when the bounces just seemed to always go our way...

but championship teams take advantage of their opportunities - and this series should have ended at 4. Everyone keeps looking around at everyone else to do something and collectively we do nothing.


Even if we get by DET, I think VAN is going to be a harder team to play against.

 

[koblix]

REMEMBER 1994!!!!

 

[MrFlyingV]

The core of this team just are not winners. It has been proven over and over again. If they lose Game 7, I am willing to see a couple bad seasons to overhaul this team. Great regular seasons are just not enough. I know I am spoiled, but for God's sake I want at a minimum a Stanley Cup Final appearance just once.

Well, I already decided not to renew NHL ticket next year - I just travel too much and my weekends are too busy. I dont like being a fair weather fan, but I feel like I have been duped for many years...

In the end its purely entertainment. Its not helping me fix up my house, build my retirement, and spend time with my gal - but it competes with those activities. If they fuck this up and shower the fans with lukewarm platitudes for next year - then I am going to have to seriously reconsider where I invest my time.

Awful performance all around by everyone not named Niemi and Pavelski pretty much. I think the main problem with this team is something I brought up earlier in the year, and that's the fact that this team has a civil war going on. There's a group of guys like Clowe, Pavelski, Couture, Wellwood, and Boyle that put everything they have into the game and work their asses off pulling the team forward. Meanwhile, there's guys who just don't seem to give a shit like Marleau and Heatley (and Joe on occasion although not in this playoffs) holding them back. If we let this dead weight go we'd be able to invest in higher quality defenseman and forwards and the team would no longer be struggling with itself, and all oars would be rowing in the right direction.
