Wings better bring it tomorrow. The Hawks found their scoring touch last night and the Wings were on the wrong side of the puck all night.

Yeah. I am definitely concerned. Yesterday felt almost like a must win. I dont care what they say about the odds, Chicago can EASILY win 3 in a row with their roster.

Yep.  I figured for sure after losing game 5, they'd show up with the jump and fire they have had earlier... NOPE. They suddenly reverted to the regular season team I didn't even think would make the playoffs. Maybe not that bad, but still.

It's over. They have now had 2 chances to close it out and rest up for the WCF-- and failed to do so.

The crazy thing is... I don't think the Hawks were playing at their best last night either... But they brought it more than the Wings did and their grinders (3rd/4th lines) played well enough to beat our 3rd and 4th lines.

And that penalty shot call... UGH. the difference maker. If the Hawks don't get that call and score, the Wings still could have lost in OT-- but at least it's fair and square. [The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the League - as happened in 2007 - wants a nice long series for the West so the East has a banged up team to play in the Finals.]

Chicago's got all the mo now.

Yeah, Wings really blew a opportunity that the may never get again. There is no book anywhere that it is written that if the Red Wings lose in the playoffs this year, they're guaranteed to be here next year.

Hawks/ Wings game starts in 3 1/2 hours... my drive that typically takes me 40 minutes to get home from work. Due to the game, cubs/ sox game ending, and the president possibly shutting down the highway because he's oh so special. I might make it to see the first period!

When I look at that I think the Wings are by far the weakest team left. Chi/LA and Pit/Bos are going to be insanely great series. I love how each of those teams is built.

All of those four - maybe with the exception of LA - are cut from the Bowman template. Strong forward corps, great checking lines that also produce, solid defensemen, and a goalie capable of slamming the door (if he doesn't lose his sh!t). There's more (must needs a large winger on the first or second lines who comes alive in the playoffs... stuff like that) but close enough.

I've enjoyed four out of five of those winners, and even this year I can't root against the Beaners like I usually do (I'd be happy to see them succeed for their city).

But I will always always hate Chara.  I don't even have reasons.

Tonight I wear my Wings loyalty in spite of living in the Hawks market.  Even if they lose, I couldn't be happier with the way this post season shook out.  I can root for every team.

As much as it sucks that the Wings didn't win in game 5 or 6. If you'd of said the Wings would be playing game 7 against the Blackhawks before this series started, I'd of been very happy.



Blackhawks just have way more talent. But all you have to be is the best team on the ice TONIGHT.

Exactly how I'm approaching this as well.  I was fucking PUMPED they knocked the Ducks out.  To take the #1 seed to game 7 bodes very well for the near future.

Considering I doubted the Wings would even make the playoffs this year - let alone beat what I considered to be the #3 team in the league and take the #2 team to a game 7, I feel the exact same way.

And yeah, come whatever happens tonight, this marks a good turn for the organization - a season I figured would be "lost".

Just shitcanned him, truthfully him cursing f-bombs on CSNBC probably embarrassed the bosses. I understand him, I have worked for exacting bosses like him. He jumps in the players shit and soem respond to it others like Gaborik and Richards started regressing. If he likes you and you perform he will stick with you, but God forbid you have a bad run, he will scratch you, trade you or send you to the Whalers in Hartford

Debating on whether to buy a Winter Classic 14 Datsyuk jersey or not.

Only jersey I have is the black practice squad one, its pretty cool, just want something new.

I REALLY want an Abdelkader jersey, I like his style of play, just don't know how long he'll be with the team.

Torts got what was coming, he takes insane talent and smothers it in his system and makes players like Nash, Gaborik and Richards look average. Torts will find his way with a team, a good young team would be a good fit but his unwillingness to let his talent off the leash cost him his job maybe he will adapt next time.... oh well...
