Deserted at the Desert Game 5 GNT(funny GNT titles are kosher?)

[KindaChang]

Wings and Coyotes square off with a 2-2 series. This might be the first game the young Coyotes feel pressure. As well, Doan is supposed to be a game time decision.

Go Yotes!

Pivotal game 5 tonight, but in my opinion, a must win for Phoenix. I don't see the Wings losing game 6 back at the Joe with a chance to eliminate the Desert Dogs.

Missed opportunity on a "just desserts" line. I'll give it a 7. :p


Hope the goalies are hot and the whistles are light, because I have nothing going on in the morning. Go Team Overtime!

 

[UTVolCountry]

Ready for this game to start already...jeez

 

[KindaChang]

I'm not sure charging is a penalty they're gonna call tonight. Phoenix seems to want to extend how far they can be before they start running a Wing.

Also, Wings need to get better shots on the power play if they want to convert them.

AND HOLY CRAP HOWARD SAVES! Lots of Phoenix pressure after the penalty kills and it draws a penalty.

Detroit strikes first. Nice dirty goal.

Looks like it went in off of a Ponicks skate.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Goal stands

Wings are the first team to clean up in front of the net. Honestly this game should probably be about 3-2 in favor of Phoenix. THey've had chances after chances since they killed the Wings second power play.

 

[KindaChang]

1-1 after 2. First round isn't supposed to be this nerve-wracking!

 

[GagneFire12]

I'm hoping for another OT dandy tonight.

 

[KindaChang]

Better to be lucky than good.

Homer taps home a 2-footer (nice shot by Lids)

2-1 Wings

 

[GagneFire12]

Damn, come on Ponicks, bring it to OT.

 

[dash]

Datsyuk goes roof daddy on the backhand

3-1 Wings (good night Phoenix)

 

[ritari330]

make it 3-1 from Dats

 

[KindaChang]

I feel like Datsyuk has done something like that before in this series.

 

[GagneFire12]

Top Cheesemonster.

 

[KindaChang]

How'd the Wings get that cannon onto the ice for Helm to shoot out of. I watch the guy every game and his speed STILL surprises me.

And with the empty-netter Zetterberg into a tie with Samuelsson for most goals these playoffs.
