  1. Their forechecking is relentless. Gotta move the puck out cleaner and take advantage of the aggressive defense moving in.
  2. Chicago is controlling play, but I expected that. Settle in and start skating.
  3. Finish them off! If the Red Wings can withstand the initial surge from Chicago and get to playing their game, I'm confident they can close the series out tonight. It's going to take a similar effort to the previous three games though because the Hawks are still a very talented team and will obviously be desperate to extend their season. So pumped for this to start. Let's Go Red Wings!

    Helm Status Update

    How is it pessimism? Helm has played one game and change in over a year now. There's nothing to say it will improve either, since every time Helm attempts to come back, the issue flares up. The fact that nobody can pinpoint the exact problem isn't very reassuring either. I think a diagnosis should have probably occurred by now over the span of four months.

    Helm Status Update

    Not significant as the other two, but it's still a loss. Big body, controls the puck and creates space. All of that is valuable in the playoffs. Bertuzzi is streaky, but so are Filppula and Franzen in the top-six.
  6. Oh my goodness, this team. Wow, absolutely unbelievable.
  7. This is an eternity. Kronner and E should never leave the ice. EDIT: There it is. How are they getting in behind the defense still so frequently?
  8. Fil is really struggling again. Kronner has been excellent defensively.
  9. Nyquist and Jimmy brilliant so far this period. Hope Colaiacovo is alright. He has been solid, besides that ill-advised pinch there.
  10. Much better period than the first. Toews is completely unraveled, but the Wings have to keep playing physical against their top lines in the third. Forecheck hard and limit turnovers the rest of the way. I hope the refs don't try to influence the outcome. Chicago is getting away with a lot, so the Wings better not end up with some weak calls.
  11. Bickell should get the extra two for those punches on Abby who was defenseless on the ice.
  12. They are imploding. Gotta take advantage again!
  13. Is Toews really arguing that call? Haha, he has lost all composure. Make them pay now Wings!
  14. How is that not a cross check on Keith there? You gotta call that.
  15. More quality leadership whining by Toews. Edzo only provides commentary related to the Hawks.
  16. This is not good. I know Smith takes a lot of flack, but I do not want to see Ian White ever again.
  17. If Ericsson weren't so valuable to lose for five minutes, I would love to see him destroy Bickell.
  18. Two minutes for playing defense.
  19. Subtle interference! Seriously get Ken Daniels in there, so we have a rooting interest in the booth for each team.
  20. Ah, thank you. Should have just had Kenny do it to balance out Edzo fan boy.
  21. Who is this dude? Doc is the only one I can tolerate of the NBC trio.

    Helm Status Update

    Back injuries are very discouraging and they never truly go away entirely. I just hope Helm can make progress over the summer and into the fall for next season. Obviously his presence, combined with the development we have seen from other forwards, would make the Red Wings even more deep going forward. Imagine this team with a healthy Helm, DeKeyser and Bertuzzi.
  23. Haha, brilliant work on the GDT as usual. Fil and Abby as females is hilarious every time. I really like Patty Eaves on the lines too. I'm nervous about this one -- Chicago is going to come out in full desperation. Jimmy might see a lot of rubber again. I am not doubting the Red Wings ability to do this, though. Go Wings!

    97.1 The Ticket: Hocketown "Dead"?

    ~100 consecutive sellouts. Have they not seen/heard the crowds at the Joe for the playoff games? Foster and Drew Sharp have never praised a Detroit team in their entire time here. I think both would prefer losing to support their viewpoints.
  25. Besides the obvious cup runs, this is the most fun I've had watching the Red Wings in the playoffs. This team is a blast right now.
