GDT: WCSF Game 6 | Chicago @ Detroit | 5/27 | 8:00 PM EST | CBC / NBCSN

I'm thinking tonight is the night where they have to get the job done. I dont like our chances in a game 7 in Chicago. Go Wings

Just saw the re-play of the Bickell hit on Kronwall from multiple angles. That was a hit from behind.

After everyone wrote them off from the start? Seriously I don't think any member of the media picked them to win this series ( 75% of voters on the main board chose the hawks), I don't see how them taking it to 7 games even to lose is anything but good.

We were up 3-1 in this series. If we blow it, then the team deserves the criticism. I don't care how good the Hawks are.

That has been a legal playoff hit as long as I have been watching hockey. Sometimes the refs call that in the regular season but in the playoffs that was a clean hit.

But if they were swept they would be free from all criticism though right?

Lets just be honest, if they don't win the cup, there are going to be some here criticizing.

Common misconception, but the rules in the playoffs are the same as those in the regular season.

Flashy has defiled HeMo for the last time.

Red Wings NEED to win tonight. This is essentially game 7! We will not win a Game 7 in Chicago!!!!!!!! I cannot emphasize that enough!!

Actually they'd be free from more criticism for getting swept than for blowing a 3-1 series lead. I didn't criticize the team for losing game 7 in SJ because they were down 3-0 in the series. They had no business winning it. But if you've 3 chances and still manage to throw away the series? You deserve more criticism.

Let's put them away tonight. Go Wings!!

Wings need to win tonight for sure. But even though I've said the same about Game 7. If we lose, lets stay positive for Game 7.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

All my Vcash is on the wings tonight, LGRW make me Vrich!!!

Mythbuster?

Yes the rules in the rulebook are the same. However they are indeed called differently than the regular season. I know it, you know it, and everyone reading this thread knows it.

 

[Squirrel in the Hole]

I had this dream where four octopi and Justine were playing and singing "Don't Stop Believing". Sure Wings win!

 

[rx7dryver]

Yes there will be. Heck some people would complain about getting poor draft picks even if they were to win.

what can i say. some ppl spendig dollars and precious off time to get entertained.
if this doesnt matter i could watch nashville vs avalaunche as well because there is a winner in this game.

Don't disagree. But hits like that should be called the same as in the regular season due to safety concerns. Don't want to get in an argument about it. But that was a dirty hit with intent to injure. If Torres got the book thrown at him for that hit on Stoll, then the Bickell hit deserved a penalty. Makes me mad that the hit is being celebrated rather than questioned.

GO WINGS.

Anyone else think it's BS that this game is starting after 8 considering last game in Chicago started after 8:30 our time? Game should have started after 7:30. NHL is catering for the Chicago fan base IMO.

They're trying to hit a decent timeslot for the whole nation. Gotta think of those ratings, yo.

Toews scores one unimportant goal and hockey media acts like he redeemed himself.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

flashy has defiled hemo for the last time this series.

fify.

 

[Frk It]

My thoughts as well. Like the people on this board saying now all of a sudden he has awaken. The goal was worthless.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

This time for africa!

 

[jz68]

I really do not like our chances in a game 7, this needs to end tonight or the Wings are not making the WCF.

 

[SoupGuru]

Let's DO this! Find the fire! Dig deep! Punch them in the mouth!
