WCQF Game 6 GDT: Coyotes 5 at Red Wings 2

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Nice replay there showing Cleary getting schooled on that backdoor play. ugh.

[NHLrules? 32]

Babs needs to call out the D and needed to from game 1 really.

We shouldnt have to score 3 or 4 goals to win games. Its too hard to score in the playoffs.

Why the Wings will win:

They're better

Why Phoenix will win:

See today's effort.

I honestly don't really care what happens Tuesday.I'm happy that I won't be able to watch that game anyway.I'll just find out who won on Wednesday morning.This team OBVIOUSLY doesn't have enough to get to the finals anyway,so let's just end this as quick as possible.

Howard was terrible.

This was just a game the Wings couldn't win no matter what. Posts, missed empty nets, ridiculous non-calls and ridiculous penalties. Crazy bad bounces and a weak Howard combines to a devastating loss.

Now we're stuck with a Game 7 which can go either way. Considering how badly the bounces went today, going into a game where one bad bounce decides the series is not where the Wings want to be right now...

Yes Howard was bad, but we shouldn't blame him for this loss. Datsyuk, Zetterberg and especially Franzen need to play better. Franzen has been pretty invisible. Bad game for everyone.

Other than the first goal, I don't see how he played terrible?

Yes the first goal Jimmy should have had after that he had no chance on any of them... 2nd goal fluke bounce off kronwall, 3rd goal amazing shot by vrbata, 4th crappy ass bounce and 5th was a great deflection.

I'm not saying Jimmy was solid, he wasn't but to say he was terrible is wrong.

[Barrie 900]

We're gonna have a bounce-back game on Tuesday. I'm not worried. See you guys then.

Chris

Agreed. Who would have thought Phoenix would win today after we took Games 4 + 5? The entire series has been back and forth, so it's our turn Tuesday. Also the road team is 2-1.

You know what, I think we'll be ok on Tuesday. Games in Phoenix are almost like home games anyway. And I wonder too if Phoenix will have one of those situations where they should have saved a goal or two for Game 7. I've seen it many times where a team wins big and can't have it continue the next game.

Phoenix got a lot of bounces go their way tonight, the Wings didn't, things should even out. Plus we've been coming back all year.

Whatever happens, Tuesday night should be fun!

Well we all saw that happen last year :\

Lets Go Wings, bounce back for Game 7!!!

Yeah, sadly Game 7's don't care who the better team is.

I hate not knowing which Wings team will show up, although they didn't play all that bad today. It was just one of those terrible bad luck games where everything was stacked against them.

I consider the disgusting PK and PP play to be aberration, like in Game 1, so I'm not concerned in that front.

[Finnish Wing 110]

Another ***** finn on Phoenix trying to act tough.

Who's the other one and how is he a ***** exatcly? xD

That was just a normal situation with some bad luck. Too bad for Helm.

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Special teams lost us this game.. they HAVE to be better in game 7.

I called it in the chat room at the end of the 1st "looks like one of those games"

As the game wore on I started getting flashbacks to the Edmonton series

[NHLrules? 32]

Wings need to protect their own crease better than they did today. Looking at the replay there's always at least one Phoenix player standing untouched right in front of Jimmy.

Meanwhile even when the Wings score, there's three Yotes players right around their net clearing out players and rebounds.

Exactly.

This is why 5 goals happen on 20 ish shots. You cant leave people all alone in front of the net. this team does this all the time. Its freakin aggrevating. This s*** is hockey 101.

[Octopus's Garden 147]

Special teams lost us this game.. they HAVE to be better in game 7.

Yep ... to come out of the first 6 minutes after 5 minutes of PPs down 1-0 pretty much set the table for the rest of this debacle.

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

So when are Franzen and Kronwall going to join this team again?

[Barrie 900]

Well we all saw that happen last year :\

Lets Go Wings, bounce back for Game 7!!!

Right, we could have used a few of those goals in Game 5 for Games 6 and 7 in the finals last year.

[kook_10 1,705]

today ***** Finns > ***** Swedes

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

Being handed out in Phoenix / Glendale to their fans for G7:

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

So when are Franzen and Kronwall going to join this team again?

When we go back to Phoenix. I think they missed the flight back to Detroit..

[13dangledangle 968]

******* PATHETIC

[LidsFan 68]

That sure was a letdown.I am scared for game 7. Phoenix has a never say die attitude and who knows what Red Wings team will decide to show up for the game.

[datsyukismyfriend 4]

well, the wings sure showed the cayotes. this team's playing like a ******* joke.

[Wingooni_19 0]

Folks...it does not look good. Wings have been outplayed in this series. I cant even think of a moment in the series when we were on top. Late GWG could be considered lucky. The Wings will really have to get their act together to win game 7.

[Hiei 192]

Absolutely PISS POOR EFFORT today. Getting all those PPs and glorious 2 inches from Bryzfuglien chances during the first period and MISSING THEM. Team committed a bunch of Lebdas in the 2nd period, and the 3rd just paraded around like they were on a Union Break.

GOTTA RALLY!!! GOTTA PUT SOME HEART INTO IT!

I BELIEVE.
