OT: Red Wings @ Hawks Game 5 Open Thread

Submitted by I Bleed Maize N Blue on

Elimination game.  The Wings have stepped on the Hawks' throats.  Can they cut off their heads?  Don't want to give them any life.  It'll be tough to win that 4th game, and on the road, too.  But there's no time like the present.

TV:  8 PM ET, CBC and NBC

Let's Go Red Wings!

FINISH THEM!

Even though we are down 1-0, I like the look of the wings in the second half of the first period. The Wings have weathered the storm as best as they can. Should be a great rest of the game.

I'm not worried right now. A lot of chances though to the end of the 1st but no go on the bounces. Wings seem to have settled down. Look for more speed and pressure in Chicago's zone in the 2nd. A lot of time left!

are probably the most important thing here. Looks like Howard is up to stopping a very good Chicago offense given a minimal amount of help, but it has to be there. Thought we looked okay in their zone, nothing especially positive or negative.

That's exactly the type of thing that abdelkater hasn't been doing these playoffs that he's consistently done through his career until this point. He can't do stupid shit like that anymore
