Based on their ability to close out on the road, I knew they could close out the Pens if they had a first period lead IN THIS ONE GAME.

Detroit led Nashville 1-0 after the first period in Game 3 of their series. They got the first goal of the second period to go up 2-0, but Nashville came back to win the game 5-3.

Look, I don't have any idea how much you know about hockey, how long you've been watching, etc. But to claim that you "knew" with certainty that they'd win if they just got a first-period lead makes it sound like you just started watching when the playoffs moved to NBC for the finals. It's silly.

The Wings lost a Game Six on the road LAST YEAR, in Anaheim. Are they suddenly supposed to be unstoppable on the road this year?

i don't know if maybe i wasn't explaining myself or what. i only have so much space to type on my phone, so i was limited.

first, last year in Anaheim, they were down 2-3 going into game 6, so that's not what i'm talking about. second, the Nashville game isn't even relevant because it was game 3.

i am specifically talking about winning game 6, on the road, to close a series. based on the fact that the last 13 times they've had a 3-2 lead going into game 6, they've won, i had no reason to believe they wouldn't win Wednesday. add to that, 11 of the 13 series have been on the road and i have even more reason to be confident.

i never once said that a first period lead in a game means you're going to win.

i want to be clear, based on the stat i mentioned, i knew that if they could get first period lead, it would be over. i also said, that while Detroit had their exciting moments in that game and the Pens made it close, i knew they were going to win after they had the lead.

all i have ever been talking about is Detroit winning game 6 (at home or on the road) and their seemingly automatic ability to get the job done and not have to play game 7. that's it.

edit: also, Detroit did this similar thing in 1998. they had home ice advantage through out and clinched all four series on the road. that year it was all 4-2 if i remember right.

The Redwings swept both of their opponents in their last Stanley Cups, I'm glad Pittsburgh took a couple from them.

Nashville had the chance to beat Vancouver and they would've been playing tonight in the Stanley Cup finals. Damn!

That was awesome!

Lots of hard hits. A couple of fights. And Boston loses in the final seconds.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That was a huge hit! I guess they answered the hits on Burrows.

Yeah but all of the fans on Boston's site were saying they hope they cheap shot Burrows even if they get ejected. They got their wish on the cheap shot at least.

So white trash on a website justifies launching elbow first to a player is cool.

No. I was just saying they were begging for a Vancouver injury. Karma?

Any idea what the injury is? Neck or just a bad concussion?

Can't believe they were able to fend the Bruins off. Quite a few chances

Boston should have someone pull an Avery and do jumping jacks in front of Luongo on the PP
