Sometime during this series, I'm almost positive I read or heard Uncle Mike say something to the effect of; the longer this series goes, the better he likes the Wings chances to prevail - - he got his wish then. Game 7, for all the marbles. The Wings are either going to Chicago, or going golfing.
The big boys carried the water in Game 6, and that is all well and good; but there can be no passengers tonight. Even more importantly, we have to hear some names for something other than atrocious gaffes (yes, Wally that'd be you).
Fair Warning, Rumbear and Capt D will represent the 19 tonight at the Honda Center. It's all over but the shouting, the Wings have come to take what's theirs.
