    The line combos are just WEIRD. I don't get it.

    The officials are content on ******* this game up. The call on Getzlaf was the worst of the bunch. The power play just needs to shoot. I don't care from where, I don't care who has the puck. Just shoot it. Little, fancy passes aren't doing anything for us.

    Objectively speaking, I think you have to call that on Kronwall. It's the call on Z that I had a real problem with. Whatever, our PK was sensational.

    I've already cut 5 years off of my life with the start of this thing. Oh my god. A goal here would be GIGANTIC.

    f*** that call. God damn. We're going to have to earn it tonight.

    Wow, what a scene. Let's go, guys. I am so nervous and so excited. It's awful.

    I haven't felt like this before a game in what feels like forever. The Stanley Cup finals last year weren't like this, I'm not sure the Ducks series in '07 was like this. There is just something different about tonight, this series and this team. I would give everything I own for a guaranteed first goal tonight. I can't take a close game. I just can't. If this goes overtime, I'll probably be watching from my kitchen with the volume off. The Wings should win this game and I believe they will win this game, but Game 7's are crazy and I don't like it. I have so much faith, confidence and love for that group of guys, though, and I struggle picturing them coming out with anything but their absolute best effort tonight. Gah. Can we start?

    This is...too much. I'm really excited and anxious but, man, this is going to be intense. An early goal would be like a gift from God.

    Alright, maybe a few calls were missed in that last sequence. Still, the officials don't owe us anything because we took two stupid penalties. We have to be better than that. Pavel is so close, but there's just a little something that is missing. I think that if he gets one, the flood gates are going to open. I'm still sensing he might get one tonight, but I've been saying that for about two weeks.

    Man, I hate that delay of game penalty. Ugh. Weird goal, too. Bounce back time.

    No, not at all. I appreciate the optimism.

    Your constant zen-like reminders just make me more nervous.

    I know, what's up with this? The dude gets his first hat trick EVER and he's suddenly a messiah. I would love nothing more than to bring those damn Hawks back to Earth next round.

    Oh come on, you guys. The officiating has been FINE. It's tedious having to hear this every single game. I hear what you're saying, but there was really nothing egregious about the way that first period was called.

    WCSF GAME 6 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Ducks 2

    I'm going to ignore you the rest of the game, just know that I disagree or take issue with everything you say. Anyway, a decent road period all things considered. The Ducks weren't able to get much sustained pressure at all. I'm more than happy to be scoreless after the first. We'll need to be better the rest of the way in order to win, but I'm pretty content with where we are. Big kill to kick off the second period, however.

    Well, it probably is. But, yeah, the crowd is awful tonight. They were pretty amped for Games 3 and 4. How quickly the bandwagon is abandoned.

    I mean, I'm assuming most of us are aware of this.

    The longer things say like this, the better. The Ducks already look tired and a little lost. Ozzie has made some big stops to prevent another fast start from them. So far, so good.

    For those asking, Darren McCarty ain't playing tonight or for the rest of the playoffs, barring some sort of startling rash of injuries.

    It's kind of funny how at ease we feel about seires-clinching games on the road. The Wings haven't won a series at home since 2002, when they won the Cup, which is totally staggering. It speaks to their coolness under pressure, though. Let's hope they can close out another one away from home tonight.

    Man, I'm elated. The series is far from over, but this is enough for now. I hate those ******* pricks and beating them feels sensational. Finishing off the series in Anaheim on Tuesday would be pure bliss. A great game from lots of guys. Ozzie made saves when he needed to. Mule continues to be a playoff beast. Zetta nabs 3 points. Abdelkader gets a point. DARREN HELM continues his amazingness and gets a goal. Just awesome stuff. Ah, this is great.

    I know it's not over, but god damn this feels good. Game 5's at home have been depressing more often than not as of late, so this is pretty great. Seriously, though, Darren Helm. He will be a superstar. How he has so much confidence, skill and ability so early in his career is unbeknownst to me. He's like this little Griffin gem.

    Halle-frickin'-lujah! Way to go, Helmer! He's been so fantastic for us thus far, I'm so thrilled he gets a goal. Not over yet. Let's finish it.

    Hiller has been incredible. He's the reason this is still a one-goal game. We need to keep going. The longer it stays in limbo like this, the closer I get to a heart attack.
