PrintAnaheim Ducks at Detroit Red Wings, May 14, 2009 6:00 PM CDT
Series tied at 3.
A lot of people saw this coming. A lot of people saw this series going the distance because of the styles of the two teams and the goalies in both nets. Forget the fact that this is a 2 versus 8 matchup. This is an all out heavyweight bout of the #1 and #2 teams in the Western Conference, sorry Chicago.
You want the two best teams in the Western Conference and you've got it. Both teams can score at will but also have defense and goaltending to make it a close and exciting game. I'm not gonna call for a prediction other than the fact that this will be an incredible game.
What to look for: Detroit will call on Johan Franzen to continue his goal scoring (goal per game) and the big kicker will be if Pavel Datsyuk can finally get into the goal column or if other players will have to step up to fill the void. The Ducks will look for Ryan Getzlaf to continue his contributions and another role player to step up to the big stage.
Game 7 begins at 7 pm ET on Versus and FS-D. If you have FS-D watch it instead because Versus will be switching back and forth during the two Game 7's going on. This is the big-time folks, and as always GO WINGS!

wore my Red Wings hat to work, and then had duck for lunch…done all I can do, now it’s up to Datsyuk and Z and the boys to smash the dirty duckies tonight.
If the NHL had any credibility, discipline wise, Getzlaf and Neidermeyer would be watching this one from the sidelines for instigating all the end of game 6 BS, and, of course, that elbow.
If it’s a blowout, either way, the third period is gonna be open season.

saw that….didn’t mean to dredge up bad memories, but….as sweet as the Yzerman winner and the Statue of Liberty were, that Sharks loss, especially, was one of the most searing sports moments I’ve ever experienced…up there with ’sheed failing to close out Robert Horry in game 5 of the 2005 NBA Finals….
haha yeah
awful memories…let’s make some good ones tonight

Wings Live
FYI- FSDetroit will run an extra long Wings pregame show. Typically, it’d be a half hour before the game but since it’s FSDetroit’s last Wings broadcast of the season, they are running an hour program beforehand.
Christy...
I don’t know how many people actually read my blog or click on my links or listen to me but I’ve linked this game thread tonight…hopefully you have a record turn out. Greatest fans in the world

Pummel these Goons please
i am soo sick of the damn ducks…put and end to this team and friggin Hiller who has had the month of his life
7 down....9 to go for a repeat Go Wings!!!
Pav will shine
Neidermeir woke up a giant. If a player is being quiet through the series, don’t rattle his chains. I thought Neidermeir was a crafty veteren. Show him that he isn’t Pav!!
here's to you, JS Giguerre!
hope to seeya on the ice tonight!
(just like Jose Theodore got brought out of cold storage to finish up for the caps last night :)
Alright Wings fans
I won’t be with ya tonight for this game because it might be the last game I get to watch with my brothers before they move halfway across the country, but here’s to hoping we win tonight and keep the dream for a repeat alive! GO WINGS! FRY THE DUCKIES!
Check back soon for my reaction to the game.

I really wish we would have pulled it off last game
The good thing about last years run was no game sevens. Yes, they are exciting, but when you cheer for team that is in that current situation it gets way to intense for me. I get so nervous that you would think I was playing in the game or something…. Also, I have never wanted to beat a team so bad as the Ducks right now, especially after Corey Perry decided to be up to his old tricks…. GO WINGS!!

I know seriously...
Pronger has been all over Franzen and Holmstrom… I guess he didn’t think Hudler was worth it…
Sounds like a BS chant from the crowd
They respectfully disagree.

Didn't know before the game that Maltby would be out
To bad he wasn’t a UFA this year so we could get rid of him to make way for Helm/Abdelkader during the season.

PLEASE keep it Wings!!!

To bad there aren't more people commenting here
I notice a lot more people commenting on other blogs game threads here. I imagine a lot of people are at hfboards (hate that place so much) and LWG. I am going to see if I can attract a few more commenters because it would definitely be nice.

If they win, then I'll get all my round 2 series predictions right.
I had Wings in 6 (we’ll see, but I’d be off by a game even so)
Chicago in 6 (off by a game)
Pitt in 7 (got it)
Carolina in 7 (hopefully)
Chicago won in 6.
So you are right there.
I root for the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and yes, the Lions.

Many bad calls
Pronger should have been called three times, once for a major crosscheck in front, another for tackling Hossa, and again for crosschecking hudler into his own goalie. That highstick on Wisniewski (sp?) was also bullcrap… This sucks and lets just wait and see how the refs try and help Anaheim win.

A stray stick screws us up

great game boys
watched at my friend’s house wooo bye bye Goons
8 down....8 to go for a repeat Go Wings!!!
Congrats to the wings
I wish we were in a game 7 as you watched your game but not to be
Hawks with young players who dont know any better against your vets…….gonna be fun to watch!!!!
BUT i still question wings fans and lack of posts here…….why so low with posts?
If canucks were still alive we would be pushing 1k posts per game……..blues PASSED 1k in game four of a sweep
where are the wings fans???
Watching the game dude
I know a lot of people got together and watched the game with other people and no better way to anti-social than to be on a computer while watching the game with friends. And some couldn’t even get to a computer because of watching games at bars, restaurants, etc. Just because there aren’t many in-game posts doesn’t mean that the fans aren’t supporting their team.
