GDT: WCSF | Game 5 | Detroit Red Wings @ Chicago Blackhawks | 8:00 PM EST | NBC

[JPE123]

I don't mind losing a game, Chicago is a good team but this is a pretty poor effort

 

[Geki]

Its kind of funny just how bad every single player has been tonight. Not ONE player had a game where you'd say "yeah he was pretty good"

 

[YostisHome]

It's too bad because Crawford was giving up a lot of rebounds... any sort of sustained pressure and we may have gotten a couple more but they were completely dominated tonight

 

[TKB]

Yeah, releases tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. More excited for it than commenting on this train wreck 3rd.

Well...you just made my night.

I always like to watch the replay before drawing conclusions (on the game), but this one feels like Detroit spent to much reading the press clippings.

The Hawks were a bit more physical which I think they need to do, but given the desperation spot they were in... I expected more.

If each of these teams are what I think they are...the Wings should win one of the last two.

 

[sarcastro]

Maybe dumbass Keith will get himself suspended here. That'd be cool. Idiot.

 

[theYman]

"We want the Cup?"

Um.... you guys have a lot of hubris.

Are they really saying that?? No way!?

 

[Vladdy84]

Wings got pushed around tonight, bent over and grabbed their ankles tonight.

 

[SoupGuru]

Um, Edzo just said, "You know it's a good night when you have Frolik and Kruger taking runs at Red Wings trying to get off the ice"

He literally just said that.

 

[sarcastro]

Icing + penalty = neutral zone faceoff? Since when?

 

[Sadekuuro]

Um, Edzo just said, "You know it's a good night when you have Frolik and Kruger taking runs at Red Wings trying to get off the ice"

He literally just said that.

Mr. Professionalism, they call him.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

It's okay everyone. Aves destroyed the Wings in Game 5 back in '97. Wasn't over for the Wings then, it ain't over now.

 

[chances14]

Howard looked pissed as he came off the ice. At least we know one player cared about this game tonight. Can't say that for the rest of the team

 

[KJoe88]

Toots in for Eaves next game?

Btw, I HATE that horn...

 

[theYman]

Well good on the refs for helping the Hawks score 2 of their 4 goals. Every little bit helps eh?

 

[Retire91]

Uhg, depressed

I remember before we all talked about Howard yelling at his teammates like it was a bad thing, but I really hope he yells at them this time. They let him down.

Really, I hope Babcock reams them and they come out with some jump next time. If they play this way, the Kings will destroy them in 4.

WTF was that? Seriously

If they play this way the aren't getting passed the hawks.

 

[Yzerberg]

Everyone had an off night. Including Babcock. Don't understand why he took Z off Intangibles

 

[fimoknete]

next game we will finish that series aqnd nobody will ever have this game in their minds.
just wipe it off.
we will kick butts next game.

 

[Syckle78]

It's okay everyone. Aves destroyed the Wings in Game 5 back in '97. Wasn't over for the Wings then, it ain't over now.

It actually happens a lot before a team is finished off. I fully expect a big bounce bad win to close it out Monday.

 

[sarcastro]

Do people really not understand that the home team gets the last change before every faceoff?

It's been covered here on just about every page. There's nothing Babcock can do about it.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

He didn't. Q kept the Toews line away from Zetterberg on purpose.

 

[Yemack]

this is really saddening

they just ****ing gave up

 

[Nut Upstrom]

I'm so in the mood to come here like a Blackhawk fan and whine and ***** and moan about everything, but really one team showed up tonight; one team played like it was the playoffs the other sort of loafed about and floated. When it became 3-1 I was thinking at least start taking the body.... But nothing. More watching, more floating, more **** and fluff. Just a disgrace to what they have accomplished to come out and half-ass it like this. I'm extremely disappointed. Did not look as if we belonged in the same league as those guys tonight; when this team takes it's foot off the gas they don't mess around. Absolute crap. Get it together and take this series once and for all. All the **** Toews has been taking, but where the hell is Hank, Fil, Franzen and even Datsyuk tonight. Crap effort all around. Great killer instinct there boys.
