HockeytownRules19 902 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) I knew he have won a few game 6s in a row, but we have won 13 straight game 6s when up 3-2 in a series. An NHL Record. Absolutely Unreal! The boys know how to close it out that's for sure. Edited May 12, 2009 by HockeytownRules19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,140 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 of course Bettman paid ESPN to say that just so they jinx us! Just like mentioning the word Shutout or no-hitter. There is the law of averages going against us, BUT then again, if your are not superstitious then it doesn't matter. Still a very impressive stat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catbox_9 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 So what is their record like in game 7's? They haven't been in one in 7 years so they're due to win one, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red4wings4life 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 So what is their record like in game 7's? They haven't been in one in 7 years so they're due to win one, right? Last game 7 was vs the Avs and it was a 6 -0 win if I am not mistaking. 2002? Anyway, that was a bad game tonight, Wings looked sloppy. They need to hit the "switch" we all know they have. (right or wrong, they have an effort switch, we have seen it all year.) GO Wings as always. Lets show the Ducks why they call us Hockeytown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Last game 7 was vs the Avs and it was a 6 -0 win if I am not mistaking. 2002? 7-0. 2002. By far one of the best games I've ever seen. Would love nothing more than for Thursday's game to recall that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sir are correct May 31, 2002 Colorado Avalanche Home 7-0 W Yes it was one of the best games in Red Wing history, the other one is getting Roy to quit the habs.

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Roy's line, on the 05/31 game: -pulled at 6:28 of the second period -allowed 6 goals on 16 shots (on his first 2 shots, 3 on his first 5 shots and 4 on his first 8) -it was the first time he allowed 4 First Period goals in his (then) 240 post-season game career. -at the time, it was the most lopsided Game 7 in NHL history. Repeating this kind of carnage would be sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
