Okay in all honesty. Holy crap man that may be the most epic QQ post I have seen. I will try to answer some of your stuff.

I didn't say the Wings were not skilled. I said they are slower and smaller. Both teams have similar skill. The wings have the Dats xfactor who is due to go off. The wings need to find away to overcome the Sharks size and speed. I don't see them doing it enough over the next few games as the Sharks are treating them like their *****& and you don't have any tough guys who are going to change that. They need to find away to gain a psych advantage because they are not bigger, not faster, not stronger, and not more skilled. If they cannot they will continue to take stick and frustration penalties. One things for sure they cannot sustain a 7 game physical series against them. They start to fold as the game progresses. I think the Wings will still take a game or two. Did you forget last year and this year? Looks like much of the same.

I addressed the Bert boarding call that resulted in the goal after that first game one post. Yup it was boarding yup they scored. Are you arguing it was not boarding? Again I have only seen clips of that game so can't offer much more. Bertuzzi is a piece of $hit who shouldn't even be in this league. More importantly check his ice time.

Hollywood diving? Sorry not worth addressing. Again I question how much you have played or understand. The wings are taking stick penalties from getting beat and being careless. You are the only person I see arguing diving. I see some analysts addressing the wings getting beat and using their sticks too much. Again LET GAME 1 GO. Why did they lose game 2? Same reason they lost game 1.

Holmstrom. The fact you are bringing up abuse when you stand infront of the net is comedy. My 5.5 year old son who camps the net and screens goalies takes abuse infront. He did it this weekend in a tourney and has some bruises. If he understands that's how the game works then so should you given your knowledge. You stand there you take sticks and get knocked down. He knows not to cry about it. Its the price you pay.

If you think the Wings are not giving players questionable hits behind the play also then I got a unicorn for sale.

Snow shares? You think the series is 2-0 because of snow shares? You spent that much effort finding things discussing snow showers? Yeah you got them. That's the reason they are winning. Not the fact they are out shooting, out working, out skating, out everything them.

Mike I don't care what happens in this series, but reading some of the wings fans blogs and reading your posts is so strikingly similar. Like I said you better hope this off season the Wings can entice better then the likes of Modano and Bertuzzi because looks like that farm system isn't producing anything.
