You dirty dog!
We had a team of winners in '97. Not so sure now. Should add that I have drank way too much tonight and have transferred my abuse at the tV onto the computer.

Of course I understand that but have you ever heard of changing on the fly to get the match up you want which is exactly what we did in game two? Please. Enough with the righteousness.

**** the refs. We flat out sucked; officials could have tried to give us this game and we would have choked on it.

Q won't have the luxury in Game 6. Babcock will smother Toews with a hearty helping of Zetterberg next game, and Q won't be able to do anything about it.

Agreed. The Wings expected the Hawks to just lay down and die for them and they didn't. That was a crap effort by the Wings as a whole. Now, game 6 isn't a must win for the Wings, but it sure feels like it. The Hawks now have momentum in the series back on their side. I guess we will see how it goes on Monday night.

Did anyone else think that hit on Kronwall was dirty? Just curious. It looked like Bickell hit him from behind at an angle.
Pavel Datsyuk where are you??????????? I am extremely disappointed with what I have seen fro the so-called "2nd best player in the NHL" so far this series. He really needs to get it going here. I dunno if the rumoured KHL contract is on his mind or what, but he just has not been the same recently. I watch every single Wings game closely, and pay extra attention to Datsyuk because he is my favorite player in the history of the NHL, and this series, to put it simply, he has not done enough. Tonight in my estimation was his worst game of the season, as I cannot recall 1 nice play he did tonight. He is the team MVP, and we absolutely need Pavel to do something, anything at all, if we hope to move on. Besides that one absolute snipe in game 3, he has been nowhere to be found.

He could have done better but really there was 0 support for him tonight
how many times was he the only red wings in hawks zone? just where the **** was Franzen? I haven't seen him since Anaheim series.

wings were in mid season form tonight... we all know what mid season form is this year for the wings.

At first I was screaming at the set, wanted to see the replay so bad, thought Bickell had come in from the blue line. After seeing the replay it was a good hard hit in my opinion. Clean and nasty, something I wish our players would have done more. You'd think the team down by 3 would be hitting like that.
I'd love to scream foul but I have seen what whining d-bags the Hawks fans have looked like the past few days and am determined to not follow suit.

Ya Franzen hasnt done much either, but Franzen isnt "the 2nd best player in the NHL". Pavel is. This was not good enough. 1 point in 5 gaes in round 2 against the best team in the NHL?? We need Pavel to be at his best, and he hasnt been.
To set the record straight, I absolutely love Datsyuk. The guy is a pure legend, hall of famer, top 100 player in the history of hockey in my books. He just has not been good enough this series. Maybe I'm being too hard on him, but Detroit needs Pavel to be Pavel next game, or else things could get interesting in the series.

Currently drinking to hide the shame of that loss. Booo.
I am down at the bottom of that bottle with you tonight doc. Shameful display tonight.
Maybe Lidstrom was in attendance?
I was wondering about that too. It cost the Wings a chance to score one (or more?) goals.

Thankfully I'm inebriated enough to the point I don't really mind that much. I genuinely said to the Blackhawks fans next to me to "enjoy the win." Totally not what I would normally do.

Forever Lost.
I think the Wings were excited AND lazy tonight and let off the gas. This feels like the series against the Sharks a couple years ago. Helm scores an empty net goal to send it to 7. They played game 7 lazy with no effort it seemed after coming off an exciting win. I think this is the case after game 4 and taking a 3-1 lead.
No doubt we'll be better in game 6, but Chicago loves momentum and they have it atm.
Idk, I'm probably wrong, lol.

To be fair, some posters (and I wish I could recall who) have pointed out that our big guns have been as impotent as Toews this series; just haven't been shooting ourselves in the foot like Captain Intangibles has been. One win by Chicago turns that onto our stars in a big way. We can beat these guys, and we've proven that thus far, but we can't beat them with the likes of Miller and Nyquist leading the way. Hank, Dats, Mule. time to get it done on Monday. And Fil, you have a lot of balls asking for anywhere in the neighborhood of 5 million.

I'll take the panic button and hide it for the time being. No one's allowed to panic 'till the buzzer rings at the end of Game 6 and by some miracle the Hawks scored more goals than the Wings. We're fine. Put up the same kind of pathetic fight we did in game one... And we all know what happened after we put game one behind us.
You could maybe make a case for charging (took 5 strides from about 40 feet), but the hit itself is a good hard and clean.
55 has delivered plenty of punishment, and even if it was a charge, that was how you want your guy (if a Hawk) to react. A good hard hockey play, certainly not dirty. I would much rather see that then a fight.
