I still don't get how that was a penalty on Franzen in the first place.

[hail2mich 55]

HOLY **** DATSYUK!!!!!!!!

[Mr.TaterSalad 321]

SCORRRRRRRRRRRESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

[lordstanley 562]

Great steal by Datsyuk! 2-1.

[PuNk42AE 113]

Wow! Hope that goal puts some pep into the Wings

[jackson_cannery 11]

Filthy.

[Mr.TaterSalad 321]

Call the cops, there's been a robbery!

[Motor City Sonics 815]

I still don't get how that was a penalty on Franzen in the first place.

Exactly.....what the **** was the penalty.......he actually missed his check there.

[Dawgs 10]

The3yve played the last 5 minutes with urgency and pasion. See what happens? Nashville cant stay with us. if we lose this series its all on us.

[Mr.TaterSalad 321]

Oh. So. Close.

[hail2mich 55]

I thought they called Franzen for spearing one of the Nashville guys on the bench who grabbed him.

[hail2mich 55]

Penalty on Nashville. About 10 seconds left in the period. Wings are playing well now

[hail2mich 55]

Oh God, this is not looking good. Franzen less than .1 second away

[lordstanley 562]

What a difference a split second makes.

[Motor City Sonics 815]

I want to break something right now.

[Dawgs 10]

Sure wish we saw the team that played the last 12 minutes or so from start to finish. That team is damn good.

[jackson_cannery 11]

Ugh, clock games.

[Motor City Sonics 815]

Franzen got a penalty for trying to hurt the goalie by shooting the puck at him.

[lordstanley 562]

I thought they took a bit too much time there, so even when the puck went in the net I never expected it to be a goal.

Wings play 20 more minutes the way they did the 2nd half of the period they'll outscore Nashville by at least one.

[hail2mich 55]

If Datsyuk just makes that play a little sooner...Ugh.

Still, momentum has swung to Detroit and they are looking hungry. About time. Huge powerplay coming up to start the third period.

[lordstanley 562]

Why does it take the Wings to be 2 goals down before playing the way they're capable.

[Dawgs 10]

I thought they took a bit too much time there, so even when the puck went in the net I never expected it to be a goal.

Wings play 20 more minutes the way they did the 2nd half of the period they'll outscore Nashville by at least one.

Absolutely agree. And if they play with that intensity for the rest of the series Nashville will have a hard time getting it to game 7.

[hail2mich 55]

That no call on the Lidstrom hook is just disgusting. What the hell are the refs looking at?

[lordstanley 562]

I don't even need the refs to call penalties on Nashville. Just don't call any on the Wings. Even though the Wings have been killing them off, it takes time off the clock for the offense. 5 on 5 or 4 on 4 we've got them.

[Dawgs 10]

They are looking for Wings penaltys. the only calls weve gotten were ones the refs had no choice but to call. The wings have been held to a much higher standard in all 3 games.
