1:19

The Wings played well last night against the Sharks on the road in game one of the western conference finals, and outscored the Sharks 3-1 for the game.... except for that 1:19 frame of the 1st period where the Sharks scored 3 goals, and hung on to win 4-3.

The good things:
1) It was only game one
2) They lost game one at PHX too
3) They responded well and down 3-0, came back to make it a game
4) I think they still know they are the better team

The Bad things:
1) You put the pressure on yourself that you almost have to win game two on Sunday
2) The Wings are 0-2 on Sunday in the playoffs (note: both of those games were afternoon games, this is a Sunday night game... it does make a differences)
3) Your down 1 game to 0.
4) Howard let in some cheap goals though the 5 hole
5) They took some bad penalty's
6) Left guys way too open in the slot


With all that being said, I still see them winning Sunday, then splitting in Detroit before winning games 5 and 6.

Tiger did have a great 3-0 win over the Twins yesterday afternoon to take two of three from them. If D Train can pitch like that all year, 6+ innings of 4 hit shutout work, we will be fine. I'm right, you're wrong.
