Wings staved off elimination for a night, but still played tight as can be for 3/5ths of the game.

OTOH, Ryane Clowe is a gutless asshat.

Wings came out with a different team in the 3rd, I thought for sure they were toast.

Unbelievable third period effort.

Have to think this series goes seven games now? Wings are still up against it, but at least they're saving some face.

It's really becoming a great parlor game to see what Red Wing is going to get a cheap shot from Ryanne Clowe at the end of a given contest. Tonight's winner was Kronwall for - gasp! - making a fantastic, legal hit.

Hate to see the Preds go down, but they played very well. Kessler was a monster and the difference in the series.

Sharks-Wings is going to be a good one tonight.....

And, mostly importantly, Kesler is American. There have been quite a few exemplary performances (Van Riemsdyk, Jimmy Howard, Ryan Kesler) in the playoffs from American-born hockey players. Hopefully, this is a harbinger of things to come for future Olympics and world championships.

Old Man Modano in for the Wings tonight, and Clowe is apparently still feeling the effects of a Nikolas Kronwall check as well. Considering Franzen has been a non-factor, I'd say that's advantage Wings in the lineup changes, even if Modano is about 75.

Well, all things considered - going down 3-0, and playing game seven basically without three of their top six forwards - the Wings can go into the offseason a proud bunch. I hate Joe Thornton's assface.
