it's today now!

Chicago will spend it’s time taking runs at Wings and killing penalties. Holmstrom introduces Huet to his butt.

Wings win 4-2 even with Datsyuk and Draper.

Holmstrom introduces Huet to his butt.

are you saying Holmstrom is gay? or that Huet would participate in such homosexual activities?

by Brian5517209 on May 24, 2009 10:08 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

how about

the fact that holmstrom is always in front of the net and the best in the business at it

I don't like you Detroit.

this should be a good game,

hope chicago wins but i still think the wings have a pretty good chance

25 minutes to go

Looking for a Hawks win to make up for the A’s loss last night. I got home just in time to see them lose.

“[Chris Osgood] is the best of the four goaltenders left in the Stanley Cup playoffs.”

Really, CBC? Somehow, I doubt that.

Wait, Datsyuk, Draper, and Lidstrom are out? If the Hawks don’t take advantage of this, well, they’re stupid. I really don’t know how else to put it.

what happened to lidstrom,

that is a huge loss huge, he is pretty much a lock for one lucky bounce / goal a playoff game

I don't like you Detroit.

Lower-body injury.

And yeah, that’s why I said it’d be stupid for the Hawks to not take advantage of that. Especially since Chelios had to be put in because of that (hey, Roenick got his wish! lol).

It was a 2-on-2 and he shot the puck through Campbell’s legs and got it top shelf on Huet. So you can be comforted by the small fact that Campbell was a part of making the goal happen.

My stream dies and its 5-1. WTF is going on?

And I think its safe to say that the Hawks have not taken advantage of the Lidstrom-less, Datsyuk-less, and Draper-less Wings team.

Seriously

Its just like, all of a sudden you realize that the Sharks aren’t going to play again this season and they won’t have another chance to win a Cup until next year. And that some of the guys that you’ve been rooting on all year will likely be on another team next season.

We need to jump to one of the many alternate universes where the Wings played Ducks in first round, then were finished off by Sharks. Definitely unfair. It’s all the Ducks fault.

Shut up Chicago radio guys

They’re talking about how the Red Wings “kicked the crap out of the Sharks” in the games they played them. Really? I seem to remember two games where the Sharks won, one of which where Babcock commented that they got “Winged.”

we could see this coming

but have to be surprised at little control Toews and Quenneville seem to have over the team. Running around in an angry frenzy just played right into Wings hands.

Not having Lidstrom or Datsyuk resulted in Detroit playings it’s most focused game of the playoffs. I wasn’t sure they could beat Pittsburgh until I saw this game today.

Wings need to win game 5 and heal up.

Aww, that looks like Kane is a little first grader and Franzen is the mean school-yard bully that wants to take his lunch money, especially because of the size difference between the two and the complete non-reaction by Kane. Very funny.
