No recap for tonight's game. I feel no need to bother with the way that ended. I just want to post two quotes from Mike Babcock's postgame interview and a handful of thoughts of my own.
"We should be in overtime right now. We got two and they got two but we're not playing."
"Tonight we got hosed for sure."
Babcock's words to FSN Detroit's John Keating. Unlike his counterpart from the Ducks, that is probably the most complaining Babcock will do.
Of course, it's easy to say that had the Red Wings shown up for the first 30 minutes of the game, that last goal wouldn't have mattered. And that should be said.
It should also be said that the game is sixty minutes long. If you happen to blow the first 30 of it you're supposed to have 30 more to make a turnaround. The Wings made their turnaround. They tied the game up but were not allowed to continue for a reason that has nothing to do with their play. That's not how it's supposed to be.

damn i was hopin to have at least one of them back this has made me more nervous after Sunday hopefully we actually PLAY 3 periods of regulation hockey cuz it seemed we took the 2nd off Sunday and have done that it seems numerous times this year
Ohmygod it starts at ten? :| I need sleep. I'm already deprived enough. I don't know if I can pull it through this game XD
Ohmygod it starts at ten?
Worse. 10:30. Not looking forward to tomorrow.
I'll probably have to pass on this one and the next one, even though I don't want to. It's virually impossible to do. I mean, 3:30 AM start. That's just too much.
Datsyuk playing with a broken leg again? The series reminds me of '07 again. Ducks have virtually the same team if not better. Still think ducks have this series, wings just don't match up well against they're size and gritty style. They're players know how to beat the wings, Wings just fall into their traps. Ducks are smarter. Their top line is outperforming the wings top line. GET ON GETZLAF!
10:30.
Is what I meant. Oops. :| That is @*)(&*(&#$^&# ridiculous. Wow. I hope it's worthwhile, at least. Maybe I can sleep in my history class.

Well aren't you just a negative nancy. 
I'm good to go on sleep so far!
Baaaaah, I hope Niedermayer falls and breaks a hip or something :|
Part of me thinks this will be a big win, part of me thinks it's gonna end badly. Top line has to do something. Rocking the Datsyuk jersey to throw some good vibes his way.
Early power play. Big chance. Gotta do something.
Horrible power play. Has a pass connected for Detroit yet tonight?
Let's talk about how great the Ducks have played when the faceoff is in the Wings zone. Totally helps the nerves.

Uh, yeah. I must be mental.

That's dedication. You get the Gilchrist award tonight.
Solid kill. Ozzie looks good. Fourth line jumping already.
GOD DAMNIT.
So close. That would've been awesome. :|
At least it wasn't Draper?
Ugh, Sammy misses a shot that Getzlaf's made this series. Franzen off for a call we don't get a replay of.

Thanks. As long as I don't have to get anything injected in my groin.
There's people on hfboards who are watching in central Europe (plus 1 hour). And they actually have to get up in the morning.
Things seem to be going reasonably wuickly at he moment. Which is good.
Golden opportunity for Samuelsson there. Hiller was beaten.
Another big kill. At least the D is working.
Well. f*ck.
Selanne scores.
I don't know if I can make it tonight. I am very weak willed :|
Aww.
The Wings might be able to score one like that if they could connect on a single f*cking pass tonight.
Yessssss! Beat Maltby up
Pronger in the box, even better
Shots from the blue line are too high, getting knocked down by the Ducks.
Have the Wings won a single battle along the boards tonight?
What a crap powerplay to finish the period. At least the Duck didn't convert that 2 on 1.
I'm eating a bowl of ice cream. It's the most exciting thing I've seen in the last hour or so.

That has to be the greatest thing I've heard all week XD
Well, at least Pavs had a couple chances there. Not completely invisible.
They called that? Um...
Ugh, this sucks. I didn't see that goal, I was having printer issues.
Brilliant. Just f*cking brilliant.
Carlyle would pitch a fit if that had gone the other way. f*ck this game.
I'll be damned, a good shift. We'll see what the power play brings.
Zetterberg gets a powerplay goal! Awesome <3
+ I'm out, I can't handle this. (Well, I'll still be watching. I'll comment tomorrow.)
On the board, bitches! Way to go Zata!
Get in.
Kronwall played right into the Ducks' hands there. Stupid.
Wings looked way better at the end of the period. Finally turning it on?
Mickey's p*ssed about the refs and I agree. All I want is consistency.
i'm at work and can only catch bit's and piece's great job by Zetterberg to get us on the board is Hossa gonna earn some of that fat cash he's gettin or what? but that's beside the point at least the end of the period was good carry that momentum and let's tie this sucker up!!!
Hossa's gotta be playing hurt. Nothing else explains it.
I don't have a bad feeling about the third yet, so that leaves me cautiously optimistic.
Wow, Zetterberg line with a great shift early.
Decent start to the period by the Wings.
Ozzie comes up big!
Enormous power play coming up.
Didn't win a faceoff, never got set up. Awful PP.
Well, Chelios draws another. Maybe this one will work.
Wings are buzzing but can't get anything.
