OT: Red Wings vs Hawks Game 6 Open Thread
Hoist one for the fallen.
Elimination game #2. The Hawks squirmed out a bit from under the Wings' boot, but the Wings can still eliminate them with a win at the Joe, which will be rockin'. Don't really want to go back to Chicago for game 7, so they need to bring more energy. And stay out of the damn box!

Let's Go Red Wings!
FINISH THEM!
Wings are done.
FUCK! FUCKITY FUCK FUCK!!
If that's a penalty shot...
that's a horeshit call
What a terrible call.
eat shit chicago and refs
That's that., the NHL isn't getting another second from my eyeballs. Just.... fucking... disgusting.
yeah the wings look done to me
denying a reasonable shooting opportunity on a breakaway. I'd take my chances spinning with my legs before taking that slash.
yeah on second look that was a legit slash
Just for the record, "from behind" is missing from my "denied a reasonable scoring opportunity on a breakaway" line. That's the key.
Which of the four criteria at the bottom wasn't met, and how?

There's no way that was from the side, take a look at the skates.
What in the name of Alex Delvecchio is going on here? A close out game at home and you dont even show up for the third perid? Did they think the BlackHawks were going to lay down and die?
Gotta capitalize on those opportunities if they are going to win this one.
I blame my internet
I was just wondering about the opportunities. Do you think we need to capitalize on them?
We had all the momentum in the world coming into the third and they pissed it all away.
Damn, Datsyuk for tripping.
It's going to be a bitch trying to win game 7 in Chicago, especially after them winning 2 in a row. I just don't see it happening, unless Babcock can light a fire under his players' asses.
Let's go Wings, now's the time.
Sharp to the box.
This series reminds me of the Pistons-Magic in 2003. The Magic got out to a 3-1 lead before the superior Pistons blew them out of the water in the next three games. The Wings are getting manhandled by a better team. It's unusual to see that, but every franchise comes back down sooner or later.
The series has been fairly even to this point. Not sure a statement like this is warranted just yet
Manhandled? Have you been watching the game? Sure they didn't show up in the 3rd and had some huge defensive lapses, but on the whole, this wasn't really a manhandling.
The Wings defense is atrocious.
for a few minutes in each game esp the last 2, enough for Chicago to gain the edge. For the most part, yes even. But when it hasn't been even and tilted Chicago's way its been brutal the last 2 games.
Chicago's 3 wins are 4-1, 4-1, 4-2 and Detroit looked poor in extended minutes of those games. ie manhandled
what a screw job.
Can we go back to the start of the period?
Well that's all she wrote. All bets are off in game 7s, though I can't say I like DET's chances
