DET @ ANA GAME 1 - 10:30 PM 4/30

[rares]

Ugh, Filpula's gotta be smarter than that. No-brainer hook and you knew the refs had to be looking for a borderline make-up call...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

COME ON BOYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Empty net Detroit.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

AH FUCK I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING IN.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Timeout Detroit.

1:08 left.

 

[Trudem]

Datsyuk has been dumped a ton tonite...

He is normally very hard to knock down and off the puck

 

[hokiehi21]

Hahaha

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

A moment of levity with 26.2 seconds remaining.

Timeout Anaheim.

 

[Trudem]

First playoff Cephalopod!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

3-1. Anaheim will take game one.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Well shit.

However, if we take game two I like our chances. We were by no means outmatched.

 

[Trudem]

We played like crap during the whole second and first half of the third and were still in it. I like our chances.

The young guys got better as the game went on and my goodness Abby couldnt buy a break...he was all over it.

3of the wings defenseman played their first payoff game and it showed. Too many turnovers. Hard to get offense going when the defenseman can't get the forwards the puck

Anaheim didn't look that impressive to me. Wings gotta get more pressure on the forecheck. Anaheim defenseman are turnover machines if you get pressure on them

 

[higgyfan4]

Missed the entire first period due to the Wild/Hawks game going to OT on NBCSN, and not having NHL Network (still ).

Alls I know is that I really, really need to take a nap before the game tomorrow.

According to the NBCSN broadcast, the Wings have not won a game 1 road playoff game since 1999.
