[Game Thread] Red Wings vs. Blackhawks Game 5

The Western Conference Final comes back to Detroit for Game 5 tonight, as the Red Wings get their first chance to knock out the Blackhawks and get a rematch against the Pittsburgh Penguins (Eastern Conference playoff champions, sweeping the Carolina Hurricanes).
It would be foolish to assume Chicago will come out the same way they did in Game 4 (Joel Quenneville's now legendary quote notwithstanding). Still, with their backs to the wall for the first time in the playoffs, it will be interesting to see how the Blackhawks will come out.
As of this writing, Pavel Datsuyk and Nicklas Lidstrom for Detroit and Nikolai Khabibulin and Martin Havlat for Chicago are all day-to-day, which means it will be a game-time decision if they'll play; however, Datsuyk and Lidstrom did not skate this morning, meaning it's unlikely they'll play tonight. Chris Osgood will start in goal for the Red Wings.
While Game 4 forcefully answered the "When will Marian Hossa show up?" question, the APB continues for Patrick Kane. Five shots in four games and a minus seven will make him the focus of much attention at the end of this series.
As for Cristobal Huet, his underwhelming performance in Game 4 (being pulled for Corey Crawford after giving up five goals on 26 shots) doesn't give confidence to Blackhawks fans, who are hoping beyond hope to see a 39 behind the pipes instead of 38.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. ET on Versus and CBC. See you back here then.

Scoring Predictions
I’m gonna go with the following Wings:
Holmstrom, Rafalski, Zetterberg, and/or Hudler
by MrNorrisTrophy on May 27, 2009 1:06 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Hossa
Did you see Hossa on Sunday? He looked ready to play that game, it was like a big Darren Helm out there. I think Hossa is ready to turn this game 4 scoring streak into a 2 game scoring streak. I hope to see Hank and Homer on that scoresheet as well.

'Bulin and Havlat
are officially out of tonight’s lineup for the Hawks. Ladd and Pahlsson will play despite sitting during the morning session.

nothing like an incredibly general term huh?
Could he explain why he looked slow going to the ice at times though

C’mon we all know your gonna tank this game so the NHL/NBC defers this until June 4th so they can rest…

why would we lose on purpose?
that presents no advantage at all. “Yay! we get to play a physical team for another game!”

you guys are clearly going to end this series eventually, be it tonight or the next game, if you lose this game the finals are going to be set back from what NBC said, since they are tools and can’t schedule correctly. So that gives you a bunch of extra days to heal up…makes sense to me.
by JasonGoPens on May 27, 2009 2:26 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
you don't give a team
like the Blackhawks a second chance. Although unlikely since the edge is 3-1, the Blackhawks are capable of winning 3 straight. They did it against the Canucks last round so it’s not too far fetched.
(i obviously don’t want that to happen though)

not to mention...
Someone could take a puck off their foot and be forced out of the lineup or have some other lower body injury occur. Get it over as fast as you can.

I was actually thinking this (not the tanking, but…). Is it better for the next series to start this weekend so I can keep the hockey fun going uninterrupted or is it better for them to delay it till who knows when so our guys can get some rest.

Filppula & Hossa Scoring!
I believe Zetterberg & Franzen line will play well, but will be the ‘Hawks focus. These guys are the key. I’ll be watching Hossa to see if he comes out like he did last game and if Filppula continues to play at the level he has been, stepping up while Pavel has been MIA and now out. Hopefully some hats will be flying 4 Hossa and onto the finals!

I’m in the area (working this week up in troy), but between the prices I heard quoted, and a bum ankle (put it this way, I was excited to walk more or less normally down a flight of stairs for the first time in two weeks!), I can’t justify a trip downtown tonight…

shocked, actually… Maybe if you disconnect the cable wire, you can tune in channel 9 since it is a local station… well i guess a hotel has a newer tv w/o an antenna, so that won’t work… My friend, we GOTS to find you a sports bar!!! Worst case scenario: 97.1 fm broadcasts the games, and its listeners hear a goal 20 seconds or so before the tv watchers.

As much as I’d like to travel down I-94 to see a Stanley Cup match up, which I saw in the regular season, how about this game set the stage for a great Cup rematch?

What is the story with the Wings scratches? Are they hurt enough that they’ll possibly miss time in the Cup, or just avoiding what’s been a literal slug fest and rest thing through it?
Just curious, haven’t kept up with this series as much as the other, sadly.

it’s mot likely just something that will keep them out of this game. They’re expected to play—well Lidstrom and Datsyuk—in the next game, whenever that may be.

He said he expected them (Datsyuk and Lidstrom) to play today so they are being extra cautious.
