This is THE game for Marleau to shut everyone up. Either he steps up and takes it or continues to show that he's a nothing more than a *****.
Nope that was last game and he blew it; I don't expect him to be any better in Game 7. The Great American Hero Joe Pavelski (I smell a Photoshop) will lead us to glory. Both goals in a 2-1 win.

A Lidstrom own net goal in OT boyle style would complete my life, but since that's not possible in this universe I'll go with a Vlasic wrister from top of the circle that takes a crazy bounce off someone.
Marleau played well enough but is he really the hero? I think Clowie might have been the winning factor tonight ... he brought the pain and that kept detroit reeling and running around all game
I love the fact that the game 7 was won exactly why the Sharks should've won the series. They're just deeper. Yes, Datsyuk is the best player on the ice, but he couldn't be out there all the time. The Couture and Pavs lines just wore'em down, and Nichol was pretty sick.
I've been hard on Wallin, but this was his best game as a Shark. He looked like an NHL playoff defenseman.

Yes I saw that too. I still don't think he played like the dominator he can be, he faded in the 2nd and I was really afraid he was out of gas/guts. But he did bring it in the 3rd and I guess it's hard to discount the fact that he got the GWG. The final few defensive plays were clutch too.
But man, I dunno if it was just because they came home or what, but the team with Clowe in is like night and day.
Marleau played his first good game and scored the goal that ended up being the game winner. I would go as far as calling him the game 7 hero. JR's just trying to make things right in "his" universe.
