ANA @ DET - GAME 6 - 8:00 PM 5/10

What's the over/under on the amount of times that the Anaheim crowd bellows: "Howard" repeatedly on Sunday night?

Detroit had better have a 5-hour practice on nothing except penalty kills tomorrow.

Your best bet if you take a penalty against the Ducks is to take another one - I can't remember the last time they scored on a 5 on 3 - pass it around for a minute and get a one timer blocked and Datsyuk clears the zone. I've seen this movie before.

Oh, Getzlaf, there is your present on your 27th birthday.

 

[detroit_schlegs]

The kids keep rolling along! Apparently, you just can"t tame them.

 

[sherbert1421]

I was concerned at the start if the year about nyquist. Seemed really timid with the puck and weak on the boards. That seems like a distant memory now

 

[Zwings40]

It's nice when you have players like Datsyuk and Zetterberg who you can always rely on playing a complete game.

cant five up a 2 goal lead with 6 minutes left in the play offs...you just cant!!!!!!

series should be over. they gave up a 3 goal lead to lose earlier in this series.

They actually won that game.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

If anything, Detroit should blow a 4-goal lead in the last 3 minutes of the next game to ensure they win in overtime.

Ah, the logic of the NHL playoffs.

Val and Carlo had 8 turnovers between them. Filppula had 3 and Colaiacovo had 5. Sheesh, brutal.

Whether Coliacovo wears a winged note or a winged wheel, I see that some things never change.

Is that a reference to his 5 turnovers, the fact that he played sparingly in the playoffs, or that he is again surrounded by some quality players who can bail him out when he screws up so much?

 

[detroit_schlegs]

I still can't get over that Filppula bonehead play; I guess, in his defense, the devil must have made him do it, same as when I woke my wife up from a sound sleep when I screamed at the television with: "Fillppula, you f...en idiot; how can anyone be that braindead to ake a blind pass behind your own net, without having a clue who the hell is even there; you f...en idiot".
"No, dear, I just think that you were having a bad dream; sorry, I hope that you sleep better this time".

sadly, i think he's still better than putting lashoff back in there

i can't get over it either. maybe etem called for the pass, making filppula think it was one of his teammates.
