DETROIT WINS GAME TWO 5-4 IN OVERTIME

SERIES TIED AT 1-1​

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Haha. I didn't even see the GNT.

I don't know why everyone doesn't just use the series thread for all the games and inbetween. One stop shopping.

Because we're special.

I don't wanna go surfing through pages and pages of "OHHHH" and "AHHHHH" just to see news about the series that will get covered up. That's the main reason.

They're mostly pages and pages of "He's such a meanie!"

I agree. I like keeping general series talk and game day talk separate

Hee hee.

 

[quoipourquoi]

I miss Giguere. Game goes to overtime, and you know the Ducks will win.

Dekeyser lost for the year, didn't catch what the injury was.

Huge blow.

That's a bummer. I like that guy.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

That's a bummer. I like that guy.

He was one of the main reasons we even made the playoffs. Only played a dozen NHL games before the playoffs but handled it like a pro.

That's gonna cost us later.

 

[Trudem]

Huge loss...hopefully White can up his game.

 

[quoipourquoi]

That's gonna cost us later.

Well... it's not like Detroit was going to win this series anyway.

Don't make me punch you twice behind the head.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Don't make me punch you twice behind the head.

That's how Selanne rolls.


They took away his goal and gave it back to Palmieri. I guess he'll just have to score another one.

 

[detroit_schlegs]

DeKeyser's loss will be a crucial blow to this team, since he is the only one of our dmen that you could consistently depend on to carry the play when under pressure. He had put a hit on Palmieri with 7:40 to go in the 3rd period, and he remained on the ice until Palmieri's goal 11 seconds later. That was the last time he appeared on the ice in the game, and we saw the combobulation that appeared in our zone from then on.

That means that Quincey will, unfortunately play more minutes. He made some mistakes in this game that the kid shovelling the snow from the ice wouldn"t have made. We are in some serious trouble now that Danny is merely an observer. That kid plays like a 5-year veteran, and never seems to panic when pressured in tight quarters.

Dekeyser has broken right thumb

Question becomes who do you put in there. White, colo, or lashoff

I would go with white. I think he's the best puck mover among the 3. Something the wings have not done a good job of in this series so far

 

[detroit_schlegs]

The word is the Dekeyser broke his right thumb, which could have been during his hit on Palmieri.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Stupid penalty by Souray. If the Ducks are going to win this series they must stay DISCIPLINED!!

Holy shit - Ducks unstoppable right now. Wings collapsing. Tied 4-4.

Serves me right for deciding to go to bed.



So serious question Wings fans - how does Detroit react here? They got pushed around in game one. Came out with a fire in game two, only to (apparently) go into auto-pilot and choke away a 3 point lead finally relying on a dumb penalty and a broken play to win. The Wings haven't had a culture of clawing and scratching for years, and they had to do it to get in. They play from a position of poise and strength, not having to gut it out to stay in it. Now they are gonna have to do it stay alive.

Can they do it? Who is going to lead it? Will Babcock have an aneurysm trying to make it happen?

I heard Lashoff will replace Dekeyser in the lineup.
