Go Wings!
Thanks for nothing. My next move was to close the net browser and sit back for the recorded game.
Me too. I live for the NBA playoffs!!!!!!
Welcome to deja vu
Go Penguins!
(speaking as a Canucks fan)
Should be a great final - hope it goes to seven!
If you read the game notes from ESPN’s recap of this game, they have a note about their defenseman Ericsson who had an emergency appendectomy today. Then they say that he’ll be back to play in the finals on Saturday. Even for a hockey guy, that’s asking a bit much.
And how is this breaking news?
Flesh wound - not a problem.
You must be a Blackhawks fan.
I’m a Blue Jackets fan and I hate both teams. But I wouldn’t miss this series for anything.
Another Wings defenseman...or if you’re a Canadian, defenceman...Andreas Lilja had an appendecotmy earlier this year and he only missed a couple of games. I don’t think it’s as involved a procedure as it used to be.
The Wings are an amazing team...the best I’ve seen since the Canadiens of the 1970’s.
Should be a fun rematch!
WooHoo...Go Wings!! I grew up watching them on my parents black and white TV in the mid-sixties. Loved em’ my whole life!
Yawn!
Fart!
Oh Yeah! Go Wings! I remember many times of going to “The Joe” with my Dad to watch them back in the 70’s. Can’t wait to rub this into all the Flyers and Devils Fans around my neck of the woods! I’ll be proudly wearing my Red Wings ballcap for another year...
I’m glad they moved the first game up to Saturday. Go Pens!
Go Wings!! Woo hoo!
