Bit of recency bias at play here though. Pretty ridiculous that this is the 3rd time in the last 2 years that we'll have a game 7 after a 3-0 blown lead, but before the Flyers last year, only two teams in history ever made the full comeback before: the '42 Leafs and the '75 Islanders. And I realize that's not all that uncommon when you look at how sparse it's been in the other sports, but you've gotta go back a long time before last year's Bruins-Flyers series to find a forced game 7 after a 3-0 blown lead.

The closest thing I can remember is when the Sharks forced a game 6 against the Stars in '08, and lost in Quad OT when Brenden Morrow scored. The Avs had a brief comeback against the Sharks in the '04 2nd round, when Joe Sakic scored back-to-back OT winners in games 4 and 5 to force a game 6 that they lost. I can't remember the last time since the Flyers last year that there was a game 7 after a 3-0 blown lead...it very well could've been the '75 Islanders-Penguins series.

cwice...i am uploading a much better quality version of the babcock stare atm. also re-recorded it without the score in the clip so that i can be used a little more widely

lol nice

Lol wtf is this spew?

Anyway all trolling aside, I'm perfectly content with the fact that the sharks may very well lose this series. This has been the best 6 games of playoff hockey I have ever seen and I really doubt anyone who has followed this series closely can disagree.

Obv if the sharks lose this no amount of cups will ever undo the chokez label, but even still this has been ****ing awesome win or lose

**** just got real in San Jose.

Maybe I don't fully understand the lyrics, but why would everyone in Detroit sing along to a song where the protaganist's goal is to be anywhere but Detroit?

Because they can identify with it perfectly?

people will try to tell you there is a south Detroit.. there is a southwest Detroit but no south Detroit

Very good point. I was thinking about this today, but when you consider the skill level of last year's Flyers (and adding in the Boston injuries and stuff), and this year's Blackhawks (defending Cup Champions) and Red Wings, perhaps it's not as surprising as it may seem. But yeah, I'd be interested to know when the last time a team down 3-0 forced a game 7 was before last year's Flyers. I certainly don't remember it at any point in my hockey-viewing life.

It's downriver homes, type south detroit into wikipedia and come back.

you mean the cities in downriver that aren't named Detroit?

It's on wikipedia bro, you can't argue with wiki:

Sharks - Preds WCF tho.

Nice emotional hedge brahhhhhhhhhhhh

Cool. I may even use it, and I almost never do the gif thing. (Assuming that's OK with those of you who make it.)

because it says Detroit, ldo

We'll have to ask GREEEAR if he is from south Detroit

Yeah, a candidate name that wasn't used deezy. The song is about leaving downriver michigan. You can get all nitty about it if you want, but it's what loljourney meant.

Trolling from both sides aside, I hope everyone realizes this is pretty much the essence of sport goodness we're watching.


Re the south Detroit thing: I lived most of my first twenty years there and have heard the phrase "south Detroit" uttered only in that song.

I am from Taylor Tuckey, not south Detroit. I currently reside in the Viewwww, again, not south detroit.

Is there one for Allen Park or is it just AP?

Journey is from SF, they'd cheer for the sharks. **** em.

this is better but not great...it should do fine tho

I might get some biased answers here but is this series really better than the chi - van series?
