Hockey Haiku for this preview...

Lidstrom plays defence
Pavel Datsyuk can dangle
Howard likes the snow.

But Thornton can pass
And Joe Pavelski can score
Nemo is super.

Detroit is a pit
It is really kind of sad
But now they've Lions

The Joe is quiet
It doesn't rock like the Tank
Home ice advantage?

No, I do not doubt
I don't doubt the Red Wings fans
But Sharks are better.

Go Sharks, Go! Tonight
Run circles around the Wings!
Come up with big saves!

Tonight, Go Sharks, Go!
Play the best game you can play
Try to get that W.

Prediction: Sharks win 4-3. Goals by Pavelski, Couture, Havlat, and Burns.

I like to write with closed form
It’s fun to make a poem conform
So this preview’s in verse
Please don’t find these a curse
‘Cause for some reason the limerick seems the norm
