GoWings1905

In my mind, this is Game 7. Sure, the Wings will still have another chance to win the series should they falter tonight, but I do not want this going back to Chicago. The Red Wings need to get back to the physical play that got them three wins already. Hard on the forecheck and take away Chicago's speed and space in the neutral zone. 

 

I will be there tonight. Expecting the Joe to be more electric than ever for this one. Let's Go Red Wings!

I voted DeKeyser. I have high hopes for both Nyquist and Tatar as well. 

 

The combination of speed, puck-moving ability and defensive positioning DeKeyser has shown already is unbelievable though. You don't see many d-men in this league that can excel in all of those areas. 

He's played good this series idk what other people are watching.  But hey this is LGW so let's all pick a player to pile on!
 
Gotta move on from Cleary and Abby since they've upped their games in the playoffs.

Just curious, but what exactly has Filppula been good at this series? He isn't generating anything offensively.

So, we watch three stars in Chicago but NBC signs off like there's a fire in the booth when the Wings win?

Well, Chicago wasn't going to just lay down and let their season end on home ice. Wings didn't match their itensity tonight.

Monday with last change and having Z back out there against Toews should help. It would be really nice if Franzen and Filppula show up and contribute offensively.

Hope this game doesn't turn out to be a momentum shift the other way.

Chicago is getting too much speed through the neutral zone tonight. Wings need to get back to being physical on the forecheck.

Last change is benefitting Chicago a lot tonight. Their big line is completely controlling the play against Pavel's line.

Funny Edzo no commentary on the missed high stick call.

He never overlooks a subtle interference, though.

Nice kill to end the period. PK looks great with Eaves and Miller.

Down a goal isn't bad at all. They just need to limit the turnovers in the second. Franzen scoring some goals would be helpful too. He's just a complete non-factor.

 
The pessimistic logic of some of you is appalling. There's nothing to say that the problem won't eventually be diagnosed.

How is it pessimism? Helm has played one game and change in over a year now. There's nothing to say it will improve either, since every time Helm attempts to come back, the issue flares up. The fact that nobody can pinpoint the exact problem isn't very reassuring either. I think a diagnosis should have probably occurred by now over the span of four months.

Oh my goodness, this team.

Wow, absolutely unbelievable.

Much better period than the first. Toews is completely unraveled, but the Wings have to keep playing physical against their top lines in the third.

Forecheck hard and limit turnovers the rest of the way. I hope the refs don't try to influence the outcome. Chicago is getting away with a lot, so the Wings better not end up with some weak calls.

How is that not a cross check on Keith there?

You gotta call that.

More quality leadership whining by Toews.

Edzo only provides commentary related to the Hawks.

If Ericsson weren't so valuable to lose for five minutes, I would love to see him destroy Bickell.
