WCF GAME 1 GDT: Blackhawks 2 at Red Wings 5

[Dabura 12,207]

Havlat's the most fragile human being alive.

[EuroTwin 240]

LOL, The replay of the Kronner/Havlat "hit"

[EuroTwin 240]

Oh Raffi, great shot.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Wings look a LOT better, but we need to SHOOT THE PUCK more.

[Dabura 12,207]

Red Wings Forwards in the O-zone

1st instinct: Pass

2nd instinct: Pass

3rd instinct: Pass

4th instinct: Shoot (DO I HAAAVE TO?)

[Guest Shoreline]

Great first period boys, despite the tie.

[catbox_9 1]

That's it for the first. Pretty fun period to watch.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Sidney Crosby.

[HereComeTheHawks 1]

Whew! What a period.

Red Wings Forwards in the O-zone

1st instinct: Pass

2nd instinct: Pass

3rd instinct: Pass

4th instinct: Shoot (DO I HAAAVE TO?)

Hahahaha. So sad, because its so true.

[Guest mindfly]

Of course they are getting a call from crosby on NBC...

[EuroTwin 240]

Whew. End first.

Very scrappy period. Hopefully we'll take better control in the 2nd.

[redwings4life 3]

We didn't start playing until about 7:00 left in the first i'm expecting a much better 2nd

[Xitium 272]

Chicago's defense is worse than Columbus. If the Wings can keep the weak goals out, this looks good for the Wings.

[catbox_9 1]

Let's see if we can't win the next two periods instead of tying them.

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

wow, first period had a nice pace

Ya Babcock isn't going to put up with that. Watch for a more shoot first attitude in the second.

[Vincanni 1]

Crap, missed the replay of the Kronwall/Havlat collision

[catbox_9 1]

Instead of showing this game they should just show Crosby highlights.

[Jedi 1,865]

Lots of back and forth action there. Alot like I thought this series would play out.

We responded well to the first goal. And Chicago's responded well to Cleary's. This is going to be a fast paced series.

[blikst 1]

Come on Hossa. Turn this around!

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Chicago's defense is worse than Columbus. If the Wings can keep the weak goals out, this looks good for the Wings.

Yeah, we're getting all kinds of opportunities, we just need to take better advantage of them.

I think pretty much everyone but Franzen and Cleary are having confidence issues with putting the biscuit in the basket.

Khabibulin looks ridiculously beatable, too. I can see us getting a goal off of a Bulin turnover.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Ya Babcock isn't going to put up with that. Watch for a more shoot first attitude in the second.

And it only took 93 games for him to do it.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Shoot more, and we'll win. The 3rd line just has to shoot, because Hudlers passed up 2 goals for sure easy.

[Dabura 12,207]

Hahahaha. So sad, because its so true.

I've decided this is why our checkers and role players are converting while our scorers aren't. Cleary, Helm -- they shoot. No nonsense.
