GDT: WCS Game #7 | Detroit Red Wings @ Chicago Blackhawks | 8:00 PM EST | NBCSN

[ARIES626]

Kings Fan. Tough loss, Hats Off to Detroit for a great 1st and 2nd series. I wish you guys won. It would have made for a awesome series.

 

[PullHard]

Hopefully we see you guys in the SCF a few times. Great series, nothing but class from you guys.

It was a cool series. Had boring stretches, but I'd attribute that to strong coaching from both sides. Both teams never said die, never quit. They may have slowed at times, obviously, as they both lost 3 in a row, but it was still a lot of fun. Also, if you're not cheating, you're not trying - and I think both teams exemplified it well as we saw the refs just let them play some playoff hockey for the most part.

 

[irishock]

I never want to lose to Chicago, worst fans in the league by far from my experiences. I've never met "decent" Chicago fans.

I'm rooting for Boston now btw. I was all for LA last year, I want Boston to win now.

same. Boston is the easiest pick out of all the teams.. you don't want Pittsburgh nor Chicago by default. So it's down to the Kings and B's. If the Kings win, they'll break the repeat drought, so that's not good.

Plus, I'd like to see Jagr win another cup.

 

[aar000n]

Team doesn't have enough finishers... Datsyuk was a ghost tonight. Just look at the line combos and I don't really know who is suppose to score.

Dats was double teamed all night. In the end you have to call that headshot.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

I literally don't like any of the teams left. They're all unlikable. LA being the least detestable.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Not bad taking the President's Trophy winners to game 7 with only one goal from your three highest paid forwards.

 

[sarcastro]

Only 9 Wings with shots on goal tonight. Wow.

Among those with 0:

Every defenseman besides CC (who had 1)
Cleary
Flip (because ass face Shaw broke his ankle and got away with it)

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Disappointing, but proud of our boys, awaiting Datsyuk's injury update.

Oh and Shaw's suspension, you cannot slew foot a guy to a injury and not get something, shameful there.

 

[Chris 84]

****
Nice season, horrible way to end it, but have to be pleased overall. Feels so gut-wrenching, hard to believe there are Red Wing fans wanting this outcome in order to move down a few measly spots in the draft.

they aren't fans at all, in my book. only a total moron would trade a last 4 place for a few draft spaces. the point in drafting high is to improve your chances of winning the cup. if you make the last 4 you have a great chance of doing just that without the picks.

i am gutted, but at the same time we did better than heaps of people expected, including the majority of fans. to me, howard proved himself to be a top goalie, the kids showed that they're more than ready to go, etc, etc. we can't be too despondent. always sucks to be eliminated, but it isn't like the dave lewis years or even 2009, etc. the boys did well.

 

[sarcastro]

Back to baseball i go

Yeah, don't do that either. Not tonight.

 

[Detroit Sports*]

I literally don't like any of the teams left. They're all unlikable. LA being the least detestable.

I was thinking this but I don't want them to get back to back cups like we did last.

 

[Retire91]

Wow some of the greatest hockey I have seen in a long time. Great run wings, well deserved win by the hawks. Looking forward to the draft and training camp

 

[Sadekuuro]

Go Bruins.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

Disappointing, but proud of our boys, awaiting Datsyuk's injury update.

I can't remember seeing him lose so many board battles and lack any burst and change of direction in his skating.

The thing is he was very strong in the Anaheim series. He just sat back this series. Rarely had the puck with any speed against Chicago.

 

[Retire91]

Back to baseball i go

There is only one true sport, all the rest are just activities and pass times

 

[crashman]

The wings lost a hard fought series and out classed the Hawks in a lot ways. They certainly did more with less.

I'm looking forward to a full training camp and to see who holland decides to cut in the off season. We need to add a piece or 2, but there's a ton of young talent on this team.

 

[YostisHome]

It is scary to think how the brass will interpret this... I can't figure out what the philosophy is, you take a risk on a Franzen type deal to free up room to pack in some more talent and make a run yet we've overpaid for guys that can't help us, hoarded players and floated along with cap space.

 

[1st Line Interloper]

same. Boston is the easiest pick out of all the teams.. you don't want Pittsburgh nor Chicago by default. So it's down to the Kings and B's. If the Kings win, they'll break the repeat drought, so that's not good.

Plus, I'd like to see Jagr win another cup.

I really like how the Bruins team is set up, that's what I like the most about them and then their style of play. Marchand is a rare breed of player and I really like Boston's two way play.

I wouldn't mind an LA/Boston final but I know a lot of people wouldn't like that.

Filppula was the one Injured, Not Datsyuk.

 

[YostisHome]

Benedict Shanahan will promptly do nothing. Red Wings are fair game in his world.

I doubt you'll find many Wing fans that would prefer that Chicago or Pittsburgh make the finals over LA and Boston.

Chi-Pit would be the worst possible scenario.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Filppula was the one Injured, Not Datsyuk.

Well I am guessing Datsyuk is hurt, at least I hope that explains this series, because he was bad in it.

 

[aar000n]

Benedict Shanahan will promptly do nothing. Red Wings are fair game in his world.

Abby was called for that.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Kronwall AKA I screen my own goalie every shift, should learn how to play defense.

Calling him a complete dumb*** isn't enough.

 

[Winger98]

I doubt you'll find many Wing fans that would prefer that Chicago or Pittsburgh make the finals over LA and Boston.

Chi-Pit would be the worst possible scenario.

Maybe the league could make it an outdoor cup series...
