NHL W. Conference Finals: Red Wings defeat Blackhawks 4-1

[Sosa21MVP]

When you get 3 v 2 EVERY TIME down the ice, you should have more goals than 2 right now.

 

Agreed. The Hawks are very lucky to only be down by 1. They need to take care of the puck better.

I didn't watch much of the Anaheim-Detroit series. Was Anaheim flying by the seat of their pants like this the whole time? Ugh.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

we've whiffed on the puck at inopportune times today it's ridiculous.

 

When you spend two-thirds of the game in your own zone, there's going to be a lot of inopportune times.

Anaheim is incredibly defensively sound. It's a whole different style, and one that is uniquely suited to playing Detroit.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Campbell needs to see the ice a lot in the third. He's the only one who can skate it through the neutral zone and into the attack.

This is kinda what I expected to see this series. Detroit is just more quick and skilled and they play a similar style as Chicago.

I think we're actually a little faster overall. Their D are just so good they get a lot of things going the other way.

Definitely not more quick. Their control of the neutral zone is the only thing killing us right now.

 

We need to throw a line out there that can skate past the neutral zone and put some damn pressure on Osgood... Osgood is sooo bad.

 

It's so annoying watching all 5 guys on the ice for the Wings, no matter who it is... it's like we're playing against the Sedin Quintuplets because they know eachother's every move.

one of the times was in their zone and cleary took it down and put it in.

[Cynosure]

Alright lets get the early PP and score...

[kujay]

Pahlsson, come on! WTF are you good for?!

[Cynosure]

Well... there was your open net chance. I HATE bad bounces/breaks.

[Magnetic Curses]

[Cynosure]

Alright lets get the early PP and score...

[kujay]

Interference on Ericcson. Haha.

 

I don't know, there has been 15 worse infractions not called in this game.

Had to even it up.

[Cynosure]

Lidstrom is ridiculous.

[Magnetic Curses]

unbelievable, it's men vs. boys out there.

[Cynosure]

I thought we were on the PP?

[kujay]

Kane, come on. Just easily taken off by Datsyuk. What an awful PP so far.

[kujay]

VERSTEEG!~

[Cynosure]

2/2!

[Magnetic Curses]

and just like that, the boys tie it up.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

and just like that, the boys tie it up.

 

The penalty kill is the weak part of Detroit's game, though it looked awesome for 90 seconds there.

[Exile on Waveland]

Versteeg!
