Game Thread: Red Wings vs Blackhawks

Detroit Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks, Apr 11, 2010 2:00 PM CDT


The 82nd and final game of the regular season can be looked at as both important and irrelevant. Both the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks have made the playoffs. The Blackhawks will start at home; the Red Wings will start on the road.

But each team can adjust their playoff seedings depending on how this game, in addition to the Los Angeles Kings game against the Colorado Avalanche starting at the same time, turns out. If Chicago wins, they take the #1 seed away from San Jose on the wins tiebreaker.

For the Red Wings, they simply need to win to take the 5th seed. Anything else and their outcome depends on the Kings/Avs game. See the chart below.

DET W DET OTL DET L
LA W 5th vs PHO 6th vs VAN 7th vs SJ
LA OTL 5th vs PHO 5th vs PHO 7th vs SJ
LA L 5th vs PHO 5th vs PHO 6th vs VAN

Faceoff is set for 3:00 pm ET. The game is on Fox Sports Detroit and Comcast Sportsnet Chicago. Comment away below.

I did work on my paper but no food. I’m going to wait until the game ends… I’ll try not to complain. I feel like I’m getting hungry already. I had a bagel with cream cheese late morning but that was it.

I ate breakfast but I am kind of hungry anyway

…so I’ll be the one complaining about food today. :P

Congrats to the wings

Now, let there be games to talk about for years to come…

Yes, just lay off the name calling...

I still don’t understand why the Wings are called Scum…

What did we do to you guys?

by ZWC11 on Apr 11, 2010 1:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

I guess the city of Detroit is… well, I have to say it’s not my favorite place either apart from the Joe. But the hate just seemed odd to me because I don’t really hate the Hawks at all the way I hate Ducks or the Avs.

by Gander on Apr 11, 2010 1:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

I love the city of Detroit, it gets bad rep for really nothing...

Most of the people who badmouth it have never been, much less crossed into Michigan. There are parts of Detroit that aren’t pretty, but I will always love the atmosphere.

by ZWC11 on Apr 11, 2010 1:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

When?

when have you seen me hating on detroit? When have you seen the word “Scum” used by me to define detroit? I don’t hate the wings, I respect what they have accomplished, but there have been a load of “fans” that have jumped on the detroit bandwagon in years past, some of them stuck around and became good fans. Now the Hawks are doing good, and while some of the fans are only cheering because they are finally winning, others of us have been there all along.
No, this is not completely at you ZWC, but also at the comments down stream.
I normally use the word “Scum” to define players like Matt Cook, and I love what Evander “Holyfield” Kane did, a lot!

My red iPod just broke

I was washing my hands and my iPod dropped out of my top pocket and fell into the sink. Awesome. Well, it’s a 2nd gen nano that I had for… 3+ years, so I guess its life was soon to end. And just when I saved enough money for a new jersey…

So do you guys hate Chicago?

Thought about the Second City’s “scum” talk, and yeah, we bash “20 cent” Kane a lot, but do you guys actually HATE Chicago? For me, I like Chicago in that they’re a fun team to watch, and Detroit v. Chicago games are usually fun. I hate the Pens, Ducks, Avs, but I can’t really say I hate the Hawks. But I guess it’s different for everybody. So, what’s your call?

by Gander on Apr 11, 2010 1:52 PM CDT reply actions  

OH NO

I HATE CHICAGO. I dont even respect them as a team, with Anaheim I really do think they are a talented team and they play us very hard but Chicago, their fans, their players, everything makes me sick. I HATE THEM.

It’s worth noting that I very easily could’ve been a Blackhawks fan: I lived in Chicago for four years as a kid. So I have no real animosity towards the city nor the players. Now, would I love to “hate” the Blackhawks in a classic sports animosity way? Absolutely.

Truthfully, I wouldn't have wanted it to be Crosby.

Crosby might be an annoying, whiny baby sometimes, but Cooke is just a dirty player. I was thrilled to see him KO’d, and I can’t really think of any other player I’d want hit like that more than him.

Redmond: “Howard thought he’d play 25 games this year.” 25, 65…same difference.

by joehass on Apr 11, 2010 3:04 PM CDT reply actions  

Another turnover...

…two things that I think are our weaknesses going into the playoffs: too many turnovers, and Howard not controlling shots and giving up rebounds.

Oh, pitching is important and then of course you do want your catcher to “catch” the ball or at least stop it. Should I go on? As Indians fans, we embrace the suck. It’s all we’ve got.

Walking Santiago and then Damon on 4 pitches?
