Man I was way down on this team the last 48 hours but what a hell of a road game they played tonight. I don't think there's really anything more to say about Tyler Johnson, he's our new Marty. Just a big game player. Nice to see Kucherov and Stamkos on the scoresheet, still need goals from them but they set up other guys for goals. A step in the right direction for both of them. Heck of a game by Victor tonight too, his best of the series by far. Breakout tonight was tons better than it has been in the last three games and an adjustment was clearly made. PK was great outside of that fluky fall by Boyle on their first goal. Bishop started well but man he looked shaky in that third, very lucky Detroit didn't put on any serious pressure. Mrazek wasn't great tonight either, could've given up 6 or 7 if not for some luck. Have to catch him overcommitting one or two times on Wednesday and bury them in the back of the net.
I thought complaining about the officiating earlier in the series was sour grapes but tonight it was awful. No excuse for Kronwall not getting a penalty on the Kucherov hit and I certainly don't expect the NHL to suspend him for a game 7. A couple other blatant calls missed as well. Good to fight through it though and get the win. Now they have to bring that intensity against Wednesday and not let up after 10 minutes if it's still 0-0 like game 5. Detroit won't fold it's going to be a war. Proud of the team to force a game 7 thought, lot of heart shown tonight.
