No chance in Hell Henrik and Pavel take a game over by themselves against a complete San Jose team. The problem with Detroit besides being old and hurt all of the time is that they only have one scoring line. Yeah, Pavel of Henrik might get a point or two but so what? San Jose has 3 complete lines, 2 physical defensive combinations and solid goaltending. You know Detroit is in trouble when their strength is Jimmy Howard. Unfortunately for Detroit, San Jose has defensemen big and strong enough to compete with Franzen and Holmstrom in front of the net. In fact, Murray has owned both of them. Detroit is in trouble.

1- They need to contain Pavelski....This guy has far and away been dominating in 7 playoff games in under 2 yrs against the Wings
2- Would it hurt to WIN a 1 goal game? 6 straight 1 goal playoff wins for the Sharks doesn't sit well with me. Close ain't cutting it.
3- If they can rattle Niemi in game 3 with an offensive outburst then it changes the whole series. They need to get in his dome with something EX--Dan Cloutier.

Some of the 2nd and 3rd liners for the Wings have to step up just like the Sharks 2nd, 3rd and 4th liners have. Guys like Fillpula, Bertuzzi, Cleary and Franzen have pretty much been non existant so far.
Not to make any excuses for the Wings but having 9 days off to me hurt them bigtime and having a 12pm West coast game which is really 9am for them hurt as well.
I would expect them to come out very hard tomorrow night and win the game but I just can't see them winning this series now that they are down 0-2....SJ has been on fire for quite sometime now.

IMO, you are just another guy who doesn't know hockey, like many people who simply bet on games here on covers....Wings had the first game up 1-0, Howard standing on his head, winning....then 4 straight power plays to the Sharks, any good high school team scores at least once in a 4 STRAIGHT power play stretch...a Joke!!! You try and kill 4 straight penalties....Then the double minor in the OT, stick to the chin could be and should've been over-looked...especially when the game, a playoff game, is on the line....the Ref's determined that outcome, not the Sharks! Just like they did in game 6 and 7 when the Wings lost both games 2-1, in 2009 to the NHL fabrication of Sid's first Cup...!!! Detroit plays the team their playing, and the whistle way to often...IMO!!!
