Nailers Eliminated, Wings Force 7, Jagr


The Wheeling Nailers were eliminated from the Kelly Cup Playoffs in the ECHL last night in a 6-1 loss to the Kalamazoo Wings. They lost the series 4 games to 2.

In the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings forced a game 7 with a 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks. After three games, the Sharks had a 3-0 series lead, and now Detroit has tied it 3-3, they just refuse to go away. Antti Niemi played a great game for San Jose, making 42 saves, but his offense couldn't do much. 

Game 7 is tomorrow night in San Jose, with Detroit looking to become the 4th team in NHL to come back from a 3-0 series deficit, and the 2nd team to do it in two years.


The annual rumors about Jaromir Jagr returning back to the Pens have already started. He isn't under contract for next season, and the as usual, it's speculated that the Pens want to bring him back. There's also a chance that it's a move to get him here so the Pens can retire his number, 68.

Speaking of Jagr, he scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win by the Czech Republic to eliminate USA from the quarterfinals of the World Championships.

No NHL playoff games tonight, how is that even possible?
