[russianswede919293 95]

you missed all the first period non calls?

you don't trust your eye

Both teams got away with a lot in period one. They are really only calling the ones that they can't ignore.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Finally...our forecheck and pressure have arrived.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Nice job Homer taking down Pronger

[Vincanni 1]

Wings putting together a couple of good shifts here and Getzlaf was even out there too.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Good shift. We're picking it up.

oh give me a break, are you worried about looking homerish or something? be real. the ducks got away with a ton more than we did.

[russianswede919293 95]

Fil, Sammy and Hudler are the only ones making a difference.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Our big guys need to get going, they just havent done anything.

[Vincanni 1]

Seems the Ducks come out at the start of each period and put us on our heels, but then tire as the period persists.

[ShanahanMan 473]

we really gotta step it up if we wanna win.

They look hungry, we don't

Its not that Im not trying to be a homer, im not a homer.

The Wings are being outplayed. You can make any excuse that you want, but the long and short is that Anaheim is playing with more energy and the Wings look flat. That is all there is to it.

The role players cannot continuously bail the team out. With the exception of Lidstrom none of the big guys are getting on the scoresheet.

[Guest lilja4mvp]

chelios with that 'veteran presence' everyone is always talking about!

[RyanK 1]

I just don't understand how our top lines can be SO invisible in this game.. 6pm NHL headline today.. Series tied 1-1.

[NGKEIB 32]

It sounds odd, but just now was our best pressure in the game, including from the top line. I think that Holmström has been the best player on 1st line, and that's saying somethign since all he's meant to do is check and screen - but htat's what he's done.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Ericsson can't hesitate to take those shots. Easy blocks.

i get you're trying to do the stand up thing but you're either blind or not real. we're fans, buddy....it's ok to call out refs for horrible play. the last 7 min or so oof the first period was filled with ducks non calls. calls that, c'mon, you know would've been called on us.

people like you look at nothing but the scoresheet.

[adampsyche 0]

Finally some "desperation" hockey...try that before you fall behind, guys.

[Jedi 1,865]

We're starting to take more and more of the pressure to their end.

Keep it up boys!

[YoungGuns1340 1]

This couldn't be a more frustrating game.

[Vincanni 1]

As a big plus, the Ducks have done absolutely nothing since scoring on the PP.

[ShanahanMan 473]

I pray Ralf will be back for game 3

[RedWingedKitten 9]

Don't worry fellas. The Red Wings will battle back.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Hossa is really looking bad, he's shying away from contact and isnt going top speed, I really hope he's hurt, otherwise he's really not doing himself alot of favors in terms of a contract next season.

The Zetterberg line is looking good though.

[edicius 3,269]

We need to tie this up before the end of the period. We CAN'T go into the 4rd down.

None of that is the case. I think that the game is one where they are letting things slide. I don't mind how the game is being called. The only call I'm upset that they missed is the Perry interference on Ozzie in first period.

Its not that I only care whats on the scoresheet. Its that your top scorers need to be on the scoresheet.
