Ducks Beat Detroit 2-1 To Setup A Game 7

Ducks were the more desperate team to force game 7 on Thursday in Detroit.
added 6:39am, from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
“It’s going to be awesome. It’s exciting. This is what we play for,” said Getzlaf, who scored the Ducks’ first goal, during a power play, and took the shot that was redirected by Corey Perry past Chris Osgood for their second goal, both during the second period. “We’re excited to go into Detroit and try and get a win.”
They wouldn’t have had that chance if not for his stellar effort, a 38-save performance by a well-protected Jonas Hiller and a focused effort by the Ducks that fractured occasionally but never broke….
“I think they were more desperate tonight than we were,” Detroit defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom said. “We had too many turnovers that created more time in our zone than we wanted to.”

i absolutely despise niedsapair (of balls) and i will bet ANYTHING that colon campbell does not suspend. absolute garbage, the wings are by far the best team on the planet and the fact that a bush league team like the disney ducks shares the same ice surface makes me want to vomit.

I did not realize Emilio Etevez hatred still ran deep. We aren’t run by Disney anymore, which is lamentable given that we were really hoping Chris Pronger would play the part of Bigfoot in “It’s A Small World.”

Marc-Andre Fleury
If OV doesnt even get fined for a knee-on-knee hit that takes out the best d-man on the pens for at least 2 games, possibly more, then i would not expect anything to come of the elbow incident.

Who’ve of thought it, the Blackhawks were the only team in the conference semi-finals to win it in less than seven games.

That Scott Niedermayer elbow to Dats is going to come back and bite us on the feathered butt. I’m ready for the tar…
The league and officials have to start doing a better job at this after game crud. And I’m not talking about the Niedermayer elbow specifically. There are no repercussions so anything and everything goes. At times, it seems as if its anarchy on the ice. Doing that during a game is fine as you get sent to the box or the locker room in the case of a misconduct penalty, so there is an actual price to pay. The problem comes when absolutely nobody cares if they get a 2 or 5 minute penalty at the 20 minute mark of the third period.

Series in a nutshell. They even missed the elbow. I’d be flabbergasted if the league would actually hand out suspensions…

There is no reason to suspend, a little elbow here, a little punch there. Suck it up Dead Wings and quit crying!

They should have called some of those penalties a little earlier maybe..

That is until a Getzlaf or a Crosby or Lidstrom or some other star gets injured at the end of a game, over nothing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against fighting at all, but this end of game nonsense is well in the silly zone as it seems to happen at the end of every playoff game. Maybe some star getting injured is what needs to happen for the league to stop this crap. BTW, does the instigating a fight in the last 5 minutes rule even apply in the playoffs or is that just a regular season rule?

Didn’t the league say at the beginning of the playoffs they were going to crack down on “sending messages?”
So much for that. All talk, no follow-through. Spineless as a jellyfish.

Sadly, the game we love is becoming a joke, all because it is runs by complete MORONS.

Anybody catch that viscious cross-check by Perry on Rafalski (1st game back from upper-body injury)? Rafalski was skating in to help a teammate out and Perry blindsided him with a wicked cross-check…I have to admit, I didn’t see the elbow, but I watched the cross-check over and over. I.Hate.Corey.Perry.
