My how things change...what happened last night and other two games previous is why Detroit is called Hockeytown folks. Watch and be amazed as history is about to be made. :D
“There are games that define what franchises have become. Game 6 Tuesday was a game that delineated the blueprint that has become the Detroit Red Wings… the professionalism, will to win and competitive spirit that drive this team forward.”
Morris Dalla Costa, London Free Press
“While the Red Wings’ best players continually rose to the challenge, the Sharks’ big guns fell silent. Not only are the Sharks 0-for-10 on power plays during their three-game slide, their top two players — Joe Thornton and Patty Marleau — each have yet to score a goal in the series.”
Rich Walcoff, San Francisco Examiner
“The only doubt now resides in San Jose, where the Sharks, perennial playoff disappointments, face the possibility of their biggest choke yet. Former Shark Jeremy Roenick just called Patrick Marleau ‘gutless’ on television. The Sharks all need to show some guts now.”
Nicholas J. Cotsonika, Yahoo Sports
“If their confidence hasn’t been dented, it should be. Seeing a perennial championship contender such as Detroit come back with three straight wins should have any team shaking in its skates.”
Pierre LeBrun, ESPN
“Now it’s up to the Sharks to disprove all the doubters that will cite perennial playoff disappointments, while the Red Wings have already shown the heart of a champion.”
Scott Cullen, TSN
“Detroit has the momentum, Detroit has the Sharks on their heels, Detroit is on the verge of history…. And the Sharks are in full back pedal.”
Tim Kawakami, San Jose Mercury News
“This is a matchup between a tested, Original Six franchise with four Stanley Cup rings since 1997 against the Chicago Cubs on ice. For Red Wings fans, this is the fun time of the year. For Sharks fans, it’s getting old.”
Adrian Dater, Sports Illustrated
“At the moment, it’s difficult to debate San Jose’s status as the kings of playoff failure. The Sharks may be one loss away from cementing that reputation for all time.”
Bob Duff, Vancouver Sun
