WCQF Game 6 GDT: Coyotes 5 at Red Wings 2

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

Sorry but the game is still not over and while I *may* be a little TOO optimistic at times, there is 20 mins left and this is hockey where anything can happen.

LETS GO RED WINGS

This has nothing to do with Jimmy Howard standing on his head all season, including the playoffs?

Isnt he up for the Calder just for that reason?

Lets look at the facts objectively, our D has been bad and definatly not play off caliber for a few years. I love Lids and company, but they are not good right now. Its time to upgrade.

Are you really going to attribute all of that to howard's play?

Yes, of course he was very good this season. But so was the team defense.

The points you make at the bottom of your posts aren't facts, they're opinions. They can't be looked at objectively.

god i hate pierre

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

Bertuzzi has played pretty well this series. He hasn't scored, but he's not the issue. Perhaps it's time for him to net a couple.

[crotty99 302]

bit of tension between Mike and Pierre in that intermission.

[russianswede919293 95]

I'm not saying they are not in it. Just that I haven't been impressed by a single one of our players today.

[BertuzziIsUseless 8]

Yes he could. In my opinion, the only reason we lost the cup last year was because of him and his turnovers in games 6 + 7. And here he is, doing it again.

First goal was because he couldnt shuffle the puck up the boards and instead turned it over. Their 4th goal was because he dicked around holding onto the puck too long after the faceoff and not passing it or clearing it fast enough, which caused PHO to hold it in the zone in the first place. THEN he turns it over again and gives them another gem of an opportunity to get another goal...

BENCH STUART NOW ! !

Yes, because we have so many quality defensemen waiting in the wings. Lebda or Meech are the answer. Yep.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

I honestly cannot name one player wearing the Red and White that I feel has played well today.

I'd say Eaves and Abby have.

Not even Flip?

[Rufio 29]

Agreed. Booing is really pathetic, I don't care what the score is, I'd never boo my own side.

People forget there is a Game 7. We lose that one, then people can go mental. Yeah we'll lose this stupid game today, but there IS another oppertunity.

I'd rather them boo like Red Wings fans that care, than hear them silent like a Raptors crowd that doesn't really give a f***.

Franzen is nowhere to be seen right now... We really aren't playing that bad, they are just taking advantage of their chances.

Stuart?

[Marty Barry 230]

Yeah, let's single out Flip when he's been a force all series.

We shouldn't bag Bertuzzi or Cleary who haven't combined for a single freaking goal...

You are correct. The blame is to be spread, not just piled on Flip. But, if you the watched his fantastic play in the 1st, then his play in the 2nd, the contrast is very noticable. Just wondering where 1st period Flip went.

[brett 1,029]

While I agree that we should have scored, it was moreso Brzygalov and some unlucky bounces rather than a lack of effort.

shots from the point is good effort? wheres the cross seem passes?

they took a shot and went for the rebound thats not how you run a 5 on 3.

how big of a difference would this game be if we scored 1 or 2 on the PP?

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

bit of tension between Mike and Pierre in that intermission.

Probably because they're both vying for the role of village idiot.

Detroit is down 1-4 and the pessimists are out of line

When is the last time this team came back from a 2+ goal deficit and won?

Score isn't reflective, but it's all that matters at the end of the day. I'd take a higher number on the scoreboard than a higher number anywhere else.

Well obviously, I'm just saying I'm still fairly confident the Wing's will win this series, it's not like they've flat out given up.

Read my post that he quoted, it was reffering to the last period, where I honestly think Filppula got a lot less playing time, for some reason. I'm not even trying to bash him, I'm just worried he's injured. And before you accuse me of baiting, I have already freely admitted that I believed him to be the best player on the Ice in the first, which makes his lack of appearance in the 2nd all the more strange.

Fair enough.

I will attribute most of this teams success to Howard, definately.

PLay in our own end has been realy bad, a lot of this from poor D man play. I would consider that a fact. Look at how many times our D turns the puck over.

+1

[Firehawk 305]

I asgree with those who have said that it hasn't been a lack of effort. In the first period we dominated them but they got a break on a bad play by Stuart. It just appears that the bounces are going their way today. I just hope we can do something in game 7. Yes this game isn't over, but tryign to score 3 goals against this stingy desperate defense, I am not going to hold my breath.

[Yak19 303]

WINGS ARE DOWN BUT NOT OUT!

3 GOALS IN 1 PERIOD IS MORE THEN POSSIBLE.

3RD PERIOD MAGIC COMING UP!!!!

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tdinc 45]

maybe they should dress Shanny and we can get some goals

You have clearly given up on this game, stop trying to bring down the people who are hoping for something better.

GO WINGS

[Z and D for the C 712]

Just wondering where 1st period Flip went.

He had almost 5 less minutes of TOI in the second than he did in the first.
