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

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Either the Blackhawks score the next goal and they have a small chance in the series, or they don't and they don't. Not much you can do now but hope for a good bounce.

They don't win this game... season over. I can say that with 150% confidence.

4-1 series win in 3 OT games?

[kujay]

Detroit has been playing with 5 defenseman all night. They've got to be gassed.

 

Right, but nobody is even close to getting past them. Least of all Kane.

 

 

I know the guy scores goals in spurts, and he's truly dynamic when given open ice. But at this point, he's nearly useless out there. Totally pushed around. The one check he tried to throw, he bounced off the guy and nearly fell down. The defense has him completely wrapped up.

 

And to boot, he gives little to no effort in the defensive zone and doesn't backcheck at all. Get him off the ice.

I'm not sure if it's better for you if you really believe that or if you don't.

In general, I agree with you about his style of play. But I thought he's been good tonight. Grabbed some loose pucks, even came close to getting into some board battles.

When was the last team to come back from a 3-0 deficit?

Haha, yeah I think a few times he might have almost tried to win a loose puck on the boards. :)

3-0? Don't know. But I recall a team choking a 4-1 lead at home in the first round and still winning.

This is the 95 WCF all over again.

 

4-1 series win in 3 OT games?

 

 

Yup cept I don't know if we get the 1 this time.

[kujay]

I think the OT breaks between periods are a bit shorter, btw. In case anyone was straying too far.

It was a very one sided series except belfour was just incredible.

Wasn't it like the Minnesota Northstars 30 years ago?

[Soul]

I saw that Kaner "hit."

 

Bounced right off.

 

Hey, at least he tried.

Yeah, I'll give him credit for trying. It's not that. I don't want him to be Ben Eager out there. But all the (unsuccessful) stickchecking gets old.

[Drew Doughty]

just going to comment real fast since I haven't been able to to this point.

 

Kronwall's hit was clean. His elbow came up and his feet left the ice...after the contact. I hate to say it, because I really think he's a dummy, but Olczyk was right.

 

Great game thought. Physical, fast pace, just fun to watch. Unless you're a Blackhawks fan. Then it's probably nerve-wracking every time Detroit has the puck. Huet looked pretty shaky but the Hawks tightened up in front of him pretty well.

happened to the new york islanders in the 70s and the red wings in the 40s i think

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Oh, I get it. I thought you meant they were definitely going to lose the game and the season is over.

 

I agree, if they lose tonight, that's it.

[kujay]

Maybe I missed it. Did they say anything about a reason for Khabi being out?

 

I just saw the crawl on Versus and it said Khabi was "pulled" after 2nd period.

Gotta agree here.

 

Great game to watch... but I'm about to have a heart attack in OT...

Khabi has been sick I believe.

Apparently he is sick.

There's speculation he may be hurt, because Crawford came down and dressed, but there's no way to know for sure.
