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.

Nearly seven hours of hockey between Chicago and Detroit. Three games a piece. 15 total goals each. 1-1 tonight. Somethings gotta give.
It wouldn't be Red Wings hockey if Howard didn't get tackled at some point.
Goalie interference?
I hope shaw chokes on his breakfast tomorrow.
Zetterburg is disgustingly good sometimes!
Howard covers 2:32 3P
I thought for sure that stick on the ice was somehow going to screw us there.
we had momentum too ... still some time
Chicago with the likely game-winner.
GODDAMMIT, they score, 2-1.
Edit: Or not?
Waved Off
choke
What the fuck? Thank goodness!
No goal Chicago 1:47. That was not pleasant.
ha refs got it right !!
Holy shit.
We're gonna lose either way. I can feel it.
Yay for penalties?
Qunicey saves the day lol... besides the fact that Z got hauled down....
Abs just about decapitated dude laying down...
That's what you get for Filppula.
I don't know why it doesn't count, it looked clean to me, but I don't care. Wings got lucky there!
It wasn't anything in the attacking zone, it was the two roughing calls along the boards in the neutral zone.
Uhhhh, so Quincey commits the awesomest penalty ever???
