I can imagine Higgy crying into a picture of this.

Red Wings....win this damn game so as not to ruin the mood.

 

[higgyfan4]

Ha!

@asktheduffer
N. 5 painted on ice behind both nets. If Holmstrom's No. 96 were to be retired, would they paint it on ice in front of both nets? #RedWings

Kronwall makes it 1-0 Wings

 

[higgyfan4]

So the refs whistles DO work.. ugh.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Kronwall did his best Franzen impersonation with that backhanded goal.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

So the refs whistles DO work.. ugh.

Yeah, seen about 4 Wings dumped in that period without a single call. So long as it goes both ways...

A great #RedWings watch party in Detroit. And look who stopped by to say hi at intermission! #LidstromNight

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Wings have been in control the entire game. Avs really lucky to be down only 1 at this point.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]
