[skacore 2]

It's been a while since I've anticipated a game this much... bring havoc Abdelkader.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention.

"Plus/Minus

Small mistake.

Go Wings!

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Since I have to miss Game 6, I hope they kick the s*** out of Anaheim tommorow!

[FunkedUp 29]

Holmstrom-Datsyuk-Hossa

Franzen-Zetterberg-Cleary

Hudler-Filppula-Samuelsson

Abdelkader-Helm-Maltby

Are you sure those are the lines? I thought Bab's would be rolling Mule, Fil, and Hoss after last games dominance.

These may be the lines at the start of the game. The Wings need to fight off these early Ducks goals. These lines have worked pretty well all season but since we saw the domination of the ZDH line with Flips centering a line with Hossa and Franzen all has been well and these lines dominated.

[Duck Guy 86]

Must win for both teams.

I believe whoever wins this game takes the series in Anaheim.

oh ya... and

GOOOOOOOO DUUUUCKKKSS

[Wingman 0]

Wingman's key to game 5:

1. Sustained high overall effort.

2. Z & D finding that Euro-twins-, Sasha & Pasha-, Hanky & Panky-groove.

3. Urgency from the get-go. No 10 minutes of oh-the-game-has-started?-mentality.

[The Mule 0]

KILL OR BE KILLED!

Hit them hard, and hit them often.

[EuroTwin 240]

GOOOO WINGS!!

Pavel with 17 goals!!

I'm so stressed out... why isn't this on something I can watch at home?

[titanium2 867]

I want to say 4 point night for Pavel.

[Third Man In 2,091]

Full 60 minutes!

[Electrophile 3,554]

Kill. Maim. Destroy. Obliterate. Annihilate. WIN.

Dark Side of the Moon juju will be in FULL affect today. Blast it as loud as you can, because we need the Wings to get those vibes.

Wings win, Hank with the hat trick. GET IT DONE.

[kylee 727]

the games will only get bigger in importance for the rest of this series.

very excited to see how Abdelkader will perform with this huge opportunity.

i dont know what to expect but the Wings cannot let in another early goal like they did in Game 4. Series is 2-2 and they have a real chance to just take care of business and head onto the conference finals, but anything can happen.... should be a very exciting game, hopefully the crowd will be going nuts @ the joe.

[Echolalia 2,961]

Its weird to think that there's actually at least another game to be played after this one. With tying the series back up and the two day break, I'm in the Game 7 mindset.

When's the last time the Wings were in a Game 7? Against the Avs?

[seeinred 1,488]

Wings win this one 14 to 3.

The Ducks concentrate too much on Franzen-Filppula-Hossa, allowing ZDH to score all 14 goals.

Let's f***in' rage!

[10 Minute Misconduct 104]

Wings win 3-1!

[Shaman 713]

ON THE LINE: In Game 5, Valtteri Filppula again will center Johan Franzen and Marian Hossa. The Filppula line produced seven points in Game 4, making Babcock look like a genius for changing the lines.

Per Free press

So, 4-2 Wings win

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

My memories of Game 5s past often harken back to heartbreaking, soul crushing losses. It would be really, really wonderful if they did the opposite of that.

Go Wings!
