Toews unhappy with the officiating. Says if the #RedWings can get away with the physical stuff, #Blackhawks have to respond in kind.

Come on Jon...don't turn to the dark side. Don't make me not like you.

That quote makes me think the Wings have a chance. Keep on them.

High five!

I'm feeling saucy, make mine a high six!

 

[Bench]

Sweet sassy, six? You're a wildcard, but let's roll with it.

Great game overall and it shows that Chicago isn't unbeatable. Crawford looked pretty weak. It give me hope that my 4:2 prediction comes true At least as long as the Wings play exactly the same 60 minute as today (and learn to burry breakaways...)

 

[Shoalzie]

Winning in Chicago was the only way I'd start to believe...can't give away both games in Detroit though. I wouldn't be mad if it 2-2 heading back to Chicago. This is their series to lose.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

This team surprises me. That's all I am going to say.

 

[RedWinger10]

Zetterberg is better than Datsyuk defensively imo

Z was ALL OVER Toews!!

Henrik Zetterberg's wit in fine form after I asked him about @bssmith7: "He creates a lot of stuff. Sometimes for both teams."

That's the greatest quote I've heard all year.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Great game. Night and day from Wednesday. Smith was a lot better too other than falling down on the first goal.


Oh and Drew Miller = X-Factor.

Great game from the boys hope it becomes like syphillis and spreads confidence throughout our fan base to believe.

The demise of the Red Wings was greatly exaggerated.

I was very impressed with what I saw. It was readily apparent that the Hawks were watching and listening to the media because they came out expecting to win the game without putting forward a complete effort. The Red Wings didn't dominate every aspect of the game, but they did outplay the Hawks which resulted in a 4-1 win.

Now the Wings have life going back home. We shall see if they can defend home ice.

Great Game 2. Can't wait for Game 3, which will my first live game of the year!

Close, but Doan's chirp to Gator still takes the cake.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Close, but Doan's chirp to Gator still takes the cake.

I agree.

 

[SoupGuru]

You look at today's game and then you look at any of the games played against the Blue Jackets... the roster is basically the same. What's the difference and what is the catalyst for that difference?

They needed this one, no doubt about it. The outplayed Chicago and pretty much silenced their fans who were expecting a 2-0 series lead for the Hawks.

I'd have to see an effort like that in multiple games in a row for me to buy in to them having a real chance in the series, though. I think it was a perfect storm for Detroit where the suspect D didn't **** the bed, the offense sustained pressure, guys like Flip came out of hiding (for a few shifts, anyway), and the more talented Hawks couldn't generate much offense. Not sure I see that happening 3 more times in the series.

ah, syphilis. the great confidence builder
