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!
I'm kinda surprised shots were tied at 10. Felt the Wings weren't doing much for most of that period. Thankfully Eaves was Johnny on the spot getting that rebound.
4th line goals are always a good sign
Considering how we played I'm happy being tied. Finally started showing some jump the last 5 minutes or so
Huge response but overall a very bad period. More pressure on Chicago's zone in the 2nd period is going to be needed but a huge play by the Wings leads to the tying goal. This team needs to come out into the 2nd period on fire along with the fans. Looks like it could be a close one but the turnovers need to stop along with the lazy play! GET YOUR HEADS TOGETHER and shake off that bad play in the 1st and build off of that goal! GO WINGS!
Sometimes Smith drives me crazy, but the flipside is that sometimes he gets aggressive and that last goal happens.
2 minutes for checking. awesome.
D'oh, Franzen to the box.
Hey look, Franzen still plays for the Wings. How about that
Seriously, the Wings cannot win with a lot of penalty kills.
Now, that PK is more like it.
GAH! Back on the PK.
Wings with too many men on the ice, Chicago immediately back into a PP.
come on wings get your heads out of your asses
Picked a great time to get really fucking stupid
C'mon guys. We cannot play short handed all night
Howard with a nice save there.
but "one of those strange things" that too many men basically exists in mites and squirts and then disappears until you're playing with NHL caliber players. Logically it makes sense, but still odd thinking about it in those terms.
Interesting
OK, now STAY OUT OF THE DAMN BOX!
Two solid PKs in a row, alright! Crawford with a save for Chicago.
Good pressure from the Wings.
Two nice penalty kills followed by a really good scoring chance. Gotta keep it up
GOAL WINGS!
Andersson!! 2-1 WINGS!!
Lolololol really Crawford?
Wow... WHAT A SHOT!!!!
HOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNK
2-1
ANDERSSON!!!
Oh Tobias.... GO WINGS!!!!!!!
It's knuckle puck time!
YESSSS! Fuck Chicago!
LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!!!
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
There was nothing going on, all of a sudden - GOAL!
HAIL yes!
CRAWWWFORD, CRAWWWWWFORD
I have been waiting for that guy to get a goal in these playoffs and FINALLY he gets it thru! LETS GO RED WINGS!!! Huge goal!!!
That was one of the least-expected goals I've experienced.
Bickell is a big f-ing prickell.
Great D by Kronwall to stop the breakaway.
What was the call?
Abdelkader in the box? There's something you don't see every day!
Great jump by the Wings this period. Nice play by Howard knowing the bouncy back boards at the Joe.
Phew, coincidental minors!
We've now got them where we want them. Got the lead and we are starting to play more physical. When Chicago tries to match our energy, penalties usually follow... Just need to keep playing with poise and intensity... Huge difference from the first period.
What are you kidding me? We're out there bustin' our butts and you're going to make a bush-league call like that? That's bullcrap.
not sure you can get away with x-checking a guy in the face
Highsticking Chicago.
