Beast game. Amazing how good some speed and youth can look.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

All I can say is, Nose.

 

[Heaton]

Wings dominated - those are games we've all seen the Wings play and lose, not tonight! Thank Christ.

 

[Bench]

Play like that and I like the odds. Great effort.

 

[sarcastro]

I'd love to give Smith a vote for the goal and assist, but he's so bad defensively...wow....

 

[Heaton]

Look at that at the end, all of those young players coming up big. Lashoff knocks the Duck off the puck, Kindl gets the puck up, Andersson springs Nyquist, Brunner follows up. Love it.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

"Oh, the Nose plays."

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Nose
Pavs
Jimmy

HM:Smith

 

[Vladdy84]

Play like that and I like the odds. Great effort.

Wings looked pretty mediocre most of the game. Lets not kid ourselves. Jimmy kept the game close then the Wings turned it on in the 3rd and OT.

Kronwall and Big E were excellent.

 

[Run the Jewels]

1. Howie
2. Pavs
3. Joker

A couple honorable mentions: Brendan Smith, Jonathan Ericsson and Patrick Eaves.

 

[Claypool]

On that Franzen near-goal, there were a couple plays Smith made at the blueline to the keep the puck in that were impressive. Hope he finds his game next season.

 

[theYman]

Cleary
Lashoff
Quincey

lol

 

[Sameheda]

Dats, Howie, and Nose.

Gotta say though, Datsyuk put the team on his back in the 3rd period and in OT. He absolutely went into beast mode and carried us to a win.

 

[Kronwalled55]

Datsyuk and Howard are givens.

I picked Nyquist as the third one though. Props to Brunner for being at the right place at the right time. He's one of the very few people on this team that I would trust to bury that.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Honestly Hiller deserved a star in the building tonight.

All the guys for the most part in the poll played well. One of the rare ones this year where we could really vote for five guys.

 

[SoupNazi]

Brunner
Datsyuk
Howard

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

See what happens when Abdelkader doesn't play?

 

[sarcastro]

Honestly Hiller deserved a star in the building tonight.

His stomach deserved a star. The rest of him didn't do much.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Is it just me or did Smith play really well in the offensive zone? Especially in the 3rd and OT.

 

[CloneHakanPlease*]

Datsyuk
Franzen
Howard

As much as I hate to say it Brunner was a non-factor on almost every shift except his goal one. He played a lot better in game 2

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Datsyuk
Etem
Howard

 

[hot dog]

eaves needs some respect. dude was a MONSTER tonight.. loved his energy defensively. pavs is first star imo... dude was everywhere even if he didn't have his dirty snipe.

 

[Vladdy84]

Is it just me or did Smith play really well in the offensive zone? Especially in the 3rd and OT.

He's a bust in his first full season. Didn't you know!?

Oh and Sammy was useless.

Promoto Bert, Sit Sammy. Bring in Tatar or Toot.

 

[sarcastro]

Ducks actually outshot the Wings in OT 9-8, even though it seemed like the Wings were dominating the puck.

If the Wings can bring their 2nd-half game for 60 minutes, two times, they just might win this series.
