Game Thread: Coyotes vs. Red Wings Game 6

Phoenix Coyotes at Detroit Red Wings, Apr 25, 2010 1:00 PM CDT


The Detroit Red Wings return to Joe Louis Arena with an opportunity to eliminate the Phoenix Coyotes from the NHL Playoffs.

After scoring two goals in 68 seconds on Friday night, Detroit cruised to a 4-1 win and a 3-2 lead in the series. Ilya Bryzgalov has looked mortal in the last two games, and for the Coyotes to return to Arizona, he's going to have to bring his a-game to Civic Center Drive.

Meanwhile, the Red Wings need to keep the pressure. Darren Helm has had a nice physical presence, but he's a -4 with only 4 shots in the entire series.

Tha announced puck drop is 2:00 pm. The game is on NBC and TSN. Please follow along below.

if he's still that iffy for an elimination game

He can’t be in too good a shape. One good clean check from Abdelkader or Helm and that shoulder might force him out of the game.

His shoulder was pretty bad, I guess.

If they can squeeze him in at a minimal salary, and if he doesn’t mind spending time in Grand Rapids and playing a minor role on the team, he might be back.

The Wings came out with fire, draw 3 PPs in a row including a full minute of 5-on-3, yet found themselves down 1-0 (can we say bad omen???).

You may have a point. Maybe Doan is “only” their best skater. He’s been the face of the franchise for a long time. To this neutral, it kinda sucks that he got hurt during the Coyotes’ first playoff appearance in many years.

by dhall25 on Apr 25, 2010 3:25 PM CDT reply actions  

probably okay, I think

He hasn’t had more than one bad game at a time, and the defense has let him down in a big way. If they play better as a team, he’ll be fine.

I'm still confused about this game.

I felt like this one of our best efforts the whole series and we’re getting whomped.

by Elfuego51 on Apr 25, 2010 3:26 PM CDT reply actions  

It's official

I think the Wings are cursed when it comes to weekend day games on NBC. They came out hard to start today, but it quickly came apparent that Phoenix would get all the bounces today.

by tehGOALIE on Apr 25, 2010 3:27 PM CDT reply actions  

that just pisses me off

i would half understand if THEY were down 5-1, but for a legal hit, that shit was just uncalled for

Detroit needs to find a way to ban afternoon games at the Joe. They SUCK so bad in afternoon games.

I'm out of here.

Thread was kind of hostile today, that coupled with a loss makes me upset. See you guys for Game 7. I’ll still be watching the game, just don’t think I can handle being here anymore.

Mkay...so, game 7?

I see it as the Wings have already won in Phoenix twice, why not one more time? They generally bounce back after bad games like today…it’s not the route anyone would like to take but this series ain’t over yet. (Just trying to remain optimistic)

That's pitiful from the fans leaving early

I know its a bad game but they dont know that they’re going to see the team again this year. Stay the extra 20 minutes.

1991? When did Gretzky leave Edmonton?

I didn’t think he was around for the 190 Cup

1990

Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!

by ahtrap on Apr 25, 2010 3:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

Gretzky left Edmonton in 1988. The 7-game series between the Jets and Oilers was in 1990. And the ’yotes played at least one Game 7 in Phoenix, losing to the Blues 1-0 in OT in G7 in 1999.

But I think we are better off without the home ice for game 7.

We’ve been pretty horrible on home ice… Even the shut out we didn’t really play all that good, Howard was just on his game.
