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

This is terrible
No Lidstrom or Datsyuk again?!?!?! We gotta win this and pray they are back for Saturday!
In the grand scheme of things, the pain of life is not worth it.
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!”
by Casey Richey on May 27, 2009 2:14 PM CDT up reply actions
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.
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)
by Casey Richey on May 27, 2009 2:39 PM CDT up reply actions
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.
lolz
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.
we're short men, they're short men...
Wings can still win it. Did it Sunday, can do it again!! That is…. IF tonight EVER gets here!!!
GO WINGS!!!

Pretty sure Christine Simpson is a Versus robot programmed to say “Sidney Crosby” every other word.
bahahaha
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!
Fil has been the unsung hero of the playoffs
Leads the team with 12 Assists, has a +8 rating and is contributing solid ice time

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…
Still trying to figure out the where to watch the game…stupid hotel TV has neither VS nor CBC….
THAT IS
A TRAVESTY!! What city are you staying in, that they don’t have channel 9?

i am totally surprised troy don't get cbc on channel 9!!!!!
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.

Stick suggestions?
I need a new stick but don’t know what the best stick for the money is. I had a cheap Easton stick but it broke. I’m not looking to spend over $100 really because, well I’m not a pro player :P
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?
PensBurgh penalty - Lavender - 2 minutes for hijynxing.
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.
PensBurgh penalty - Lavender - 2 minutes for hijynxing.
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.

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

“i thought last year was an eye opener for me…tonight definitely the biggest goal of my life.”
“we definitely missed those guys…everyone rose to the challenge.”
Good they scored quickly
If we’re gonna play as early as Saturday, I’m glad we got that OT goal early. A 3OT night was not what we needed.

To be clear: Versus, as part of their contract, has the rights to 2 Stanley Cup games. NBC did not want to give up a prime time weeknight for hockey. They have made it clear they want to push their games to the weekends because of their rollout of Conan O’Brien.
