OT: Red Wings @ Blackhawks Game 7 Open Thread
The top-seeded Blackhawks have battled back from a 3-1 series defecit to force a decisive game 7 in Chicago. This has been a great back-and-forth series, and is a fitting way to end the in-conference rivalry between these two great Original Six franchises.
Zetterberg and Datsyuk have come up huge when it has mattered most for the Wings, both this season and in years past. Jimmy has been phenomenal in net this year, and he may have what it takes to steal this game in Quick-like fashion. Toews seems to have found his game a little bit in the last few games (when he is not whining), and Crawford has been solid in net despite 1 bad goal. This should be a nerve-racking affair.

I'm heading off to the United Center shortly, and I'm hoping it will get quiet in there real quickly.
LET'S GO RED WINGS
Just no. LA and its fetid sports franchises must sink into the sea.
I don't like LA but I like to see them pound Chicago in the ground in the event that we lose today. Shaw would be one of their b**ches
This looks terrible... Someone, please give Shaw a wet willie.
The guy is out of control ... let's take advantage on the PP
1 for 23 so far. We're due.
Completely agree!
We look all sorts of confused on our PP right now... two missed passes in a row.

Wings on PK now.
Great.
Sigh. Sparty no!
What a difference a series makes. After the Anaheim series, Abdelkader was seen as a legit top-liner guy, whereas in this series he's basically been a cheap goon
They're gonna bury Detroit if Detroit keeps taing penalties.
Kill that PP like you have a purpose!
I'm actually ok with having to watch this game hammered from Puerto Rico tonight. Unbearable.
Would love to hop in the ocean right now.
One more mojito and I'm gonna jump in the ocean. Thanks for the idea.
PK has been good. Too bad we need them to be great and get a SHG.
FUUU that was the best non-goal I... errr. Damn it.
Seems like we're spending a decent time towards the offensive end but not getting great opportunities.
^ This.
I haven't even felt a flutter yet when we're in the offensive zone. The closest we've come is two cross ice passes that Miller couldn't handle (not positive the first one was his, but I know the second was. Both back in the first period).
We need to get through this period tied or only down one, if we go into the 3rd down by 2+ goals it wont be pretty. GO WINGS
Close. Knuckleball. Great Save.
Smith stood someone up and that's about it for now.
Fire Babcock.
It was saracastic.
Every shot goes right into Crawford's chest.
Need some high quality H_2_O before this third period.
too bad the period ended ...started to play with a little more edge toward the end of that period. Let's return the favor Chicago gave us in the third period last
derp....twas a response to the post previous to this.
I've heard rumor he's in the lockerroom already....
I am impervious to pain.
Are you saying you're comfortably numb?
No momentum, no possession, no finishing, Brendan Smith being Brendan, and Z, Pav, Franzen, and Filppula still haven't shown up... Not looking favorable for pulling out a win.
