The 20,066 at Detroit would not let this game 6 be wasted. 

 

The man with #35 in net would not let the 20,066 down. 

 

The men in 55, 52, 28, 4, 2, and 27 would not let #35 down.

 

And they shall collectively rise up and defeat this team from lands far away and tales taller than life be told. 

 

The day the 23 of Detroit took down the 23 of Chicago.

 

 

MaDnEsS?  THIS IS DETROIT.

I wanna see Howard make it to round 3 for the first time.  He has earned it in my book.  And I've been a bit skeptical of him the last couple of years.  But this year he's showed a lot.  We've been asking for a goalie that can steal a game or two since Hasek.  And we got em now.  And Hasek had A TON more talent around him to help. 

We have completely blatent breakdowns and Howard has bailed us out countless times all series.  That's what you want.  Just like Quick.

Now babcock has more ammo to use with the wings to lecture them on why it's so important to play hard every shift and that it will take a perfect effort to eliminate the best team in the league.  I'm not worried...yet.  I trust in Babs.

Fair enough, but I just didn't see a great effort and desire to finish the series tonight from the Wings.  

 

I knew Chicago would bring it, but I expected a better fight in return.  

But in a weird way, don't you actually feel a oddly better that we got blown out tonight versus had we lost it in 2OT or something very dramatic like that?  I do.  If we were going to lose I didn't want it to be close, and it wasn't.

I sincerely hope to get a better feeling about game 6 because I called it tonight chi is the only team that scares me I am not bothered by la sj bos or pit because i know we get by chi we got it...but we have to get by chi simple as that if we don't.........wow that is heartbreaking I am worried but its not from lack of faith it knowledge of the game I play goalie I have for 16 years I have had my share of dissapointments and highs but I want us to get this over with mon if we don't think the advantage goes to chi bank on that

 

 

Fair enough, but please do not come into the game 6 thread on monday and start posting about how you have a bad feeling about that game too. It gives a bad vibe to the thread. Yeah they played like garbage tonight, but please bring positivity to the thread on Monday okay? We will need it!

Also the announcers are making a big deal about Toews scoring.  Well, that's 4 goals now in like 35 or 36 playoff games.  Not that scary.  We'll see what Monday brings.

 

I'll only get nervous if we drop game 6.  Game 5 I fully expected to lose.

How dare the fans be upset when their team doesn't even try?   :rolleyes:   

 

The team essentially didn't show up.  In a playoff game no less.  One thing to lose, another thing not to show up.  What do you expect people to feel like?  

 

I thought we'd try to stage some kind of comeback in the 3rd, but I don't even remember Crawford having to make a save.  Instead, all the pressure was on Howard.

You and most fans fall into this trap that if a team didn't win or score a bunch of goals, they didn't show up.  News flash, there's a competitor on the ice also.  The wings looking 'not as good as last game' has a lot to do with the desperation of the better team they are playing against.  Fans have a hard time distinguishing between a team not showing up and the other team playing better.  Chicago didn't allow us to control the game.  We weren't able to impose our will.  But the Wings showed up.  Game 1 I would say the wings didn't show up, and this was a better effort than game 1 was, much better effort.  Just not as good as games 2-4.

 

But again, you cannot expect a team to win every game, nor play at such a high level, EVERY GAME.

Oh and by the way, because we won game 4 it would appear that we 'showed up to play', but if you ask me, we got very lucky.  Howard was left out to dry but came up big (stole the game), and also had a lot of puck luck and goal posts help him out (not discrediting Howard, but we got the bounces).  

 

I'm just tired of reading "we didn't show up" if we lose a game.  Chicago fans were saying the same after all their losses.  Chicago played pretty decently in games 3 and 4, we just played better.

You watch the end of the game?   :no2:   This is why they will remain losers no matter what happens.  This is also why I'd like to see the Wings knock that arrogant, bullying s*** out of them.  


20 secs later they dooshed  it up and i corrected myself....wishful thinking

Here's to Monday. The NBC crew will have plenty of time to floss and get the Toews out of their teeth. We were flat tonight, but I'm still hella proud of this team and will not count them out of anything until the fat lady sings her heart out. Chicago has been a beast of a team all year, I certainly don't expect them to roll over for us.

Out of their teeth?  They need stomach pumps after tonight.

We were down 3-0 to the Sharks.  Won game 4, and got killed in game 5.

 

That series was already over.  This one can still go either way.  

You guys are acting JUST LIKE the chicago fans were acting on their boards after a loss.  the same people losing their minds here were praising the wings just this morning.  It should have been expected not to win this game, IN CHICAGO!  You knew chicago was going to show up with everything they had.  It's hard to do that two straight games. 

 

Now we go back home.  If chicago beats us there, they deserve to win the series. 

God man.  Fans are so wishywashy.  People need to stay more even keel.  Look at the bigger picture.

Im not a bipolar fan but right now yeah, that yucky feeling is in my head about collapsing in 7.

 

Well take your happy pills and be positive!  Our boys don't want to lose!

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

Guys calm the F down.   My god.  We have them by the throat.  Remember a couple years ago when we went down 3-1 to the sharks?  Game 5 we beat their ass something like 5-1, then lost in 6. 

It is not surprising that we were due for a bit of a let down and they were due for a big game.  Actually, I was hoping we'd lose badly.  Sometimes your team needs a good reminder.  We'll get them in 6.

 

If we don't get game 6, then I'd be worried.

But EVEN IF we lost in 7, which sucks, they have over achieved this year.  Chicago should win, they have more talent. 

But just remember, we still have the upper hand.  We'll get them on Monday.  Stop being such fanatics.
