CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Semifinals Game 7: Red Wings 1 - Blackhawks 2 (OT)

What a way for the season to end. I'm very proud of this team. I'm also very sad right now and this analysis is going to be a bit more bare-bones than usual. CSSI Methodology Explanation here Goalie Ratings Head-to-Head: Even Overall: +1 The Goals 2nd Period 01:08 -

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Semifinals Game 6: Red Wings 3 - Blackhawks 4

The Red Wings lost. CSSI Methodology Explanation here Goalie Ratings Jimmy Howard gave up zero bad goals and Corey Crawford gave up one bad goal, but Corey Crawford also made a lot more saves than Howard and I don't like Howard getting beaten on the penalty shot. Both head-to-head and

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Semifinals Game 5: Red Wings 1 - Blackhawks 4

The Red Wings made Game 6 on Monday necessary by losing to the Blackhawks 4-1 in a game that Detroit got pretty heartily outskated and outplayed. Getting on the refs for an inconsistent standard would be a lot more comforting if the Wings' penalties weren't legit and if they didn't

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Semifinals Game 4: Red Wings 2 - Blackhawks 0

The Red Wings took a 3-1 series lead in preparation for Saturday's game 5 by weathering a few Chicago storms and then holding a one-goal lead for nearly 30 minutes. To top that off, they also got an empty-netter and a huge late penalty kill. This game wracked my nerves.

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Semifinals Game 3: Red Wings 3 - Blackhawks 1

The Red Wings have a lead in a series that isn't over yet after taking a 3-1 win in Detroit on Monday night. This one was a back-and-forth affair that could have gone any number of ways. Thankfully, it went the way I wanted it to. People are going to

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Semifinals Game 2: Red Wings 4 - Blackhawks 1

The Wings had a much better showing in game 2 of their series than they did in game 1. Hell, they had a better showing against the Blackhawks than they've probably had in two years. Detroit moved the puck much better and was able to avoid making as many turnover

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Semifinals Game 1: Red Wings 1 - Blackhawks 4

The Red Wings got thoroughly outplayed in their opening matchup of round 2 versus the Blackhawks. Detroit hung with Chicago until the third period when things just kind of fell apart for them. They'll work on making adjustments to avoid the 4-1 result they deserved on Wednesday. It was nice

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Quarterfinals Game 6: Red Wings 4 - Ducks 3 (OT)

What a dumb sport we love. CSSI Methodology Explanation here Goalie Ratings Jimmy Howard was better than Jonas Hiller. He made a save in the second period that I'm still not sure how he got. Aside from the head-to-head win, Howard will get a +1 rating. The Goals 1st Period

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Quarterfinals Game 5: Red Wings 2 - Ducks 3 (OT)

The Red Wings will head back to Detroit on Friday looking to stay alive in their series with the Ducks after dropping an overtime decision to the Ducks on Wednesday. The Wings had two leads but couldn't extend or hold onto them and ended up dropping it. Ultimately, I thought

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Quarterfinals Game 4: Red Wings 3 - Ducks 2 (OT)

I don't even know. I'm just going to type stuff here trying to calm down so I can be somewhat objective in this analysis. I haven't seen the Wings simultaneously refuse to lose and will to win and other narrative-type stuff so much in a while. The Ducks still have

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Quarterfinals Game 3: Red Wings 0 - Ducks 4

The Red Wings had a chance to take advantage of their game 2 win with a home ice showing against the Ducks and they couldn't get the job done. After a chance to take the lead in the first with a 5-on-3, the Wings gave up the initiative and ended

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Quarterfinals Game 2: Red Wings 5 - Ducks 4 (OT)

Well this game will probably make me angry by the time Saturday night rolls around and I have to face the fact that the Wings blew a three-goal lead in the third period and had to get bailed out by a dumb penalty by Sheldon Souray. The series heads to

CSSI Analysis: Western Conference Quarterfinals Game 1: Red Wings 1 - Ducks 3

The Wings took to the Honda Center on Tuesday night looking to build off a good last week of the season to clinch a playoff spot. Anaheim outplayed them and came away with a 3-1 victory. This game was won on the special teams battle, as Anaheim put in two
