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

[theYman]

I hope the Wings come out flying because the Hawks are oviously going to play their best game they've played all season. Howie just has to be good enough to win...weather the storm early on as well.

And yes, this game screams Mule time. Also the 3rd line will be key too.

That said, I believe the Wings head to the WCF tonight...

(nervous)

Exactly we just need the usual 4 goal game from the mule tonight. He's due yet.

 

[Fine young man]

i will turn into the game after the 45th minute, when the action starts. i expect the wings will lead then 1-0. until then i will watch the boston game.

The Boston game is on already, don't think they'll overlap unless it goes into OT.

He is. Pavel will be setting him up a lot as long as Abby does his job. With Kane being on the top line you would think Pavel will have more room to do his usual thing.

 

[Yzerberg]

Anyone else happy with those lines from Chicago?
You've got a hot head on each the top 3 lines that loves taking bad penalties vs Detroit.
Toews on the 1st.. Bickell on the 2nd.. Shaw on the 3rd.

I kinda am. Maybe I'm wrong but i think that buries Hossa who would be the one guy that worries me.

Does anybody think Kindl should be up with Kronwall? Just sayin since his play has been impressive this series. Put Cola with Ericsson. And put Tootoo in this game for Miller? I think a little more sandpaper is what we need against the Hawks to send them.packing.

Kronwall/Ericsson have been a good pairing.

Miller has been huge on the PK since he got back. He's our best 4th liner IMO.

Don't know the point of switching things up when everything seems to be working right now. If we lose a few games in a row? Sure, then reevaluate. But right now everything is clicking.

Why would you want to mess with the lineup right now?

Babcock highlighted Toews and Handzus in the pre game interview. Saying that Datsyuk is on one unit and Hank is on the other. So I'm going to guess that the 2nd line (Z and co.) will be going up against Chicago's loaded up line.

LETS GO RED WINGS!!!!

[1st Line Interloper]

Big game, I hope we win this and get it over with. No sense giving them any hope going back to the Joe.

 

[Sameheda]

Lgrw!

 

[kdfsjljklgjfg]

For the game, for the first time in months I just got pizza and wings with a place that provides a free RC Cola when you do so.

Insane prediction: Colaiacovo with the series-winning goal. Book it.

 

[Redwingsfan84]

This is the game where I hope Val Fil. shows the team he is worth the contract he will be asking for this summer.

Would be a nice touch. He's been pretty effective replacing #23
