Lightning 5 Red Wings 2 Final Game # 6

[SpartyNash]

DeKeyser and Zidlicky have been flat out awful as Bob said. If you put a gun to my head and asked who I think takes game 7, I will sadly say Tampa.

 

[JScottWriter]

Players trying to do too much. Really sloppy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just a horrible effort in a close out game.. This will make it what 0 for our last 5 or 6 since 2010 give or take?

YBishop got his bell rung there.

Best home record and we have already won 2 their this series :/

 

[tigersofjustice]

What an incredibly disappointing performance that was. Don't know how you can play that way with a chance to close it out at home.

 

[tigersofjustice]

If I have to watch yet another series in the last 5 or so years that the Wings choked away...so help me. That Chicago series still haunts me, they need to find that other gear for once when it matters.

Bye Zidlicky! that guy has been brutal in the playoffs, i'd almost rather see Kindl in there or Marchenko the next game.

Kindl looked pretty good the last couple of games he played. He's basically the same type of player Zidlicky is, good puck mover, lousy defense.

Only difference is Zidlicky gets more production offensively by a good amount. Kindl's defense is probably better than Zidlicky though.

Well the way the pendulum has swung back-and-forth in this one I'm not that pessimistic-I say it's a tossup.

It's just going to depend on which team is more on its game.

I was emceeing a beer dinner this evening so I was sweaterless which so far has been good luck. Now I'm confused as to what I should do for game seven.

That Blackhawks loss stung hard being up 3-1, would have been nice to send them off with an exit before going East, that series still pisses me off.

If they lose i'm going to always look back on that game 4 chokejob, up 2 goals with 5 to go and lose is unacceptable. This team has just been so hard to watch the last 6 years, they make you believe and rip it from you in an instant.

Have to sit him. He was awful or the Mob had something on him..Because he was god awful tonight..

Yup frustrating.. I feel like they are so close to being a cup team and yet so far all in the same breath..

 

[biggunsbob]

It really may be time to overhaul the defense...Just to many give always and missed assignments in this series.. Guys are struggling to hold pucks in.

 

[biggunsbob]

I guess mlive said it was a mistake by Glendening on the first goal not Danny D. Luke is suppose to stay with Johnson.

 

[biggunsbob]

How good would our offense be we be if we could have kept Hulder and Filppula who were on our 2008 cup winning team . Not many guys left from that squad.

I kind of agree with that, Luke has the speed/position to stay with him by decided to veer off to the puck carrier, Dekeyser was flatfooted and had no chance of disrupting his rush to the net.

 

[biggunsbob]

I guess we should try and be supportive. I mean if you look at our cup winning roster from the 2007-08 season up until now it is amazing how we do piece it together and make the playoffs.. Some of those roster's look really suspect..
