WCSF GAME 6 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Ducks 2

[Cern 0]

It's a two goal game, everyone needs to calm down. Once Babs tells the players to follow their shots we'll start banking in these rebounds.

Yeah, because he probably didn't bring that up in the first intermission...

[sixer 37]

Yes, we're talking about it in the game day thread above!

[SliderJeff 11]

Time to vomit. Osgood f'ed us on the first goal... so faulting Kronner for that is BS. Now they get a late period goal in the second. Ducks are playing like they actually want a game 7 and the Wings are... apathetic at best. Sludge for ice, notwithstanding, they look like they are already on the jet back home. I'm not even going to watch the rest of this period, as I don't want to become sexually desensitized seeing all the Vs. announcers blow the Ducks the next 23+ minutes.

2-0 after 2.

Better have a huge 3rd otherwise it'll be game 7 Thursday.

One which I will miss.

Datsyuk Natural hat trick in the 3rd

[Duck Guy 86]

Are tix still available for Game 7?

this post gets a +10 from me...

[Outsider 42]

I AM PUKING over the ducks announcers masturbating over how Hiller has been "amazing!!!"

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

The question should be... are the Wings going to pull off their patent, show up and dominate in the third period, leaving us all to wonder why they didn't play like that from the beginning.

[RedWingedKitten 9]

Don't worry fellas, i'm sure the Wings will come out swinging in the third!

Lets go Red Wings!

I am loving getzlaf

I wish the flu would've wrote him off, including the rest of the Getzlaf family.

Have some freakin' faith people! Good grief it's intermission...still 20 minutes left! I don't see a lack of effort. I just see a good goalie running off crowd emotion. 1 goal and they are right back in the game!

[Firehawk 305]

I am dumbfounded at how the wings go from dominating the last 2 games to this crap performance. Why did they bother making the trip? Gee Wizz...

[dat's sick 1,002]

One day the Wings will score on a 2-on-1. I know you don't believe me, but it's going to happen. One day.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Wow, can't believe people are giving up on this already. Although if we don't start getting some bounces we're f***ed for a Game 7, I think. Which really sucks because I won't even be able to watch. Our season could be over and I won't even know it until hours later if we don't win tonight.

Use ESPN. That's what I do, they send texts after each goal and period and after the game. It's great!

Would be nice to Z score a non-empty net goal in the 3rd. For the most part, he's been completely invisible.

Red Wings had their chances to capitalize on the Ducks, still Nothing.

Hope the third is better for the Wings.

[MagicMan13 8]

yeah, I'm headed to bed. Not worth staying up if the Wings are gonna show up

Then go to bed...I swear some of you guys are the biggest bandwagon fans I have ever seen. They have had their chances and things havent worked out, but GO TO BED THEN, and DONT WATCH ANYMORE GAMES. You are the guys that cant stop posting how good the team is when they are winning and then go to bed when they are losing.

[SuperNovaXll 124]

I have a feeling that the wings are going to have a very good 3rd period!!

...But I also have a feeling that its not going to be enough.

[VM1138 1,921]

They'll come out strong int he third, so long as lady luck is on their side. It really sucks that it's come down to luck, because luck has always seemed to favor the Ducks. Although clearly they are outplaying the Wings, the Wings are clearly just unlucky as well, with all the crazy bounces and chains of penalties.

I am going to miss most of the 3rd period. If we play ******* garbage effort again, now what do we expect? Game 7? What a way to go.

[russianswede919293 95]

Pathetic Second Period.

The game changing moment was the lack of a goal on the second of the back to back powerplays...

Anaheim did it that way and then the Wings got the same chance.

They failed to score and instead of 1-1 Wings momentum it was 1-0 Ducks momentum.

That was a must score PP and they failed.

Hopefully a strong third can at least tie this one up for an OT win!!!

[Rikadyn 16]

Wings do know this is a hockey game right, not just a free skate. Good gods, they have shown next to no desire to actually do anything tonight.

[Outsider 42]

"We failed to show up. And that's just embarrassing."

- Chris Osgood, after Game 6 against the Kings in 2001

[Matt 1,049]

Playing too cute in this game. Holding onto the puck too long. Passing up shots. Not converting on beautiful cross ice feeds that have been there -- wide open -- on three seperate occasions tonight. Getting outworked. It's cliche, but they're "playing not to lose" rather than "playing to win."

No killer instinct.

I don't think Anaheim has been impressive in this game as Detroit has controlled the puck most of the night, but the power play has been a monstrous let down as is the stone hands and bad decision making on great scoring chances.

Wow. That's real classy.
