This is easily one of my all-time favorite Duck games, probably the biggest win in franchise history too. I still get chills watching Teemu roof that goal, and I love the Wings fan who stands up right when he gets the puck then heads for the exit as soon as the water bottle gets knocked off the net.
only one reason detroit lost this game, he sprawled for a bad reason on that ot goal by selanne and it cost them, if he stayed on his feet he cud have gotten selanne easily.
i love the huskins hit on zetterberg and the scott nidermayer goal. also my freind was at this gameand when selanne scored he was singin bob marley it's gonna be alright. dont worry about a thing it's gonna be alright. go ducks!!!!!!
not at all. i was worried because Giguerre was playing out of his mind in turning away at least a half a dozen great scoring chances to keep it a one goal game - he really won it for Anaheim, just a great game for him. and when they whistled Pavel for hooking with what, 1:30 left I knew what was coming. If only Franzen would have been able to clear!!!
This game made me sick because the Wings dominated play and shut down Anaheim defensively only to lose it on the luckiest bounce/gift goal of the year following the worst hooking call of the year. Credit Giguerre who kept it 1-0 up until that point.
Can somebody tell me why the Wings want to re-sign Lilja? If this isn't enough evidence that he's the most "giving" Wings defenseman, check out Game Six of the 2005-06 series against Edmonton.
Well lets see. In a 7 game series you need to win 4 games to win the series. The Ducks won 4, the Red Wings won 2. Last time I checked, that would make the Ducks the better team last year. I don't know why Red Wing fans have to be so stubborn about that. You want to talk luck? How about those 2 bullshit goals Detroit had in game 1 of that series. If you want something to bitch about, bitch about Lilya turning the puck over to Selanne to lose the series for your team.
no not complaining to much just stating facts that you take two of the duck's top 4 defensemen take them out and see how you would have faired against the Wings in 2007..
conversely with Kronwall and Schneider out...
that definately made a difference...but hey you won....good job....but out in the first round the next year....I would say Detroit is the Superior team....overall....sorry
Well no shit it would have been a lot tougher if you took away Pronger and Scott Niedermayer. What a terrible arguement to make. That's like saying the Patriots wouldn't have won 3 out of 4 Super Bowls if they didn't have Tom Brady. The whole point of having playoffs and a championship is to see who has the best players and team. The Ducks were better. And dont forget the red wings also went 1 and done a year after winning the cup in '02. And who beat them? Yea the Ducks.
kronwall is a shitty defencemen and so is schneider but pronger is good and the ducks still beat the wings without him even with their underpaid europeans (zetterberg gets paid 1 million a year)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Look at the ducks this year. There terrible, last years team was a one hit wonder team. Good luck ever winning the stanley cup again losers. The wings are constantly competitive and have won 3 cups in the past 10 years. Ducks blow!!! Go WINGS!!!
Huh, one hit wonder? A Stanley Cup, 2 Stanley Cup Finals appearances, 3 WCF appearances in their last 4 seasons. They've been competitive this last few years as well, and this year the Ducks still has a huge potential to repeat. We got Scotty back plus there has been report sighting of Teemu practicing in full gear, so he could be close to returning as well. So watch out!
ya ok there is no way im guna sit here n let u call nicklas lidstrom a dumbass ull find his name on da stanley cup 3x, while ur beloved teemu selanne has jus recently 1 his 1st stanley cup after 19 years of service in da nhl nicklas lidstrom has 1 da norris trophy 4 best defenseman 5 of da last 6 years is 1 of da most respected playa in da nhl and led da nhl in +/- THIS year it looks like da only dumbass here is u sir next time u wanna post shit about sum1 make sure u do ur research
...did u see the hooking call that the refs are to stupid to make. oh yea call datsyuk on interference when he barely touched the guy. man you must be stupid
when is anyone gonna learn that the ducks can't be stopped? if niklas lidstrom wasn't such a dumbshit, the wings would've won this game, and then probably won the series..but man...lilja...what a garbage player giving that one up right in front of the net in ot. GO DUCKS!!! SENATORS SUCK!!
how is lidstrom a dumbshit? a defender who leads the wings in points, and is third in the entire playoffs, ahead of sevrel high profile forwards such as alfredsson, cmon
You could see Hasek closing the five-hole 'cause he knew Scott's shot was weak, but then Lidstrom's stick deflected it up and it completely screwed Hasek who had the late reaction. I wouldn't call Lidstrom a dumbshit (though it's pretty funny to), but the goal was mostly his fault.
Yeah, We finns can do everything, Teemu do it again. Wonderful score. And of course, the right team won because Teemu play there and Detroit is full of Swedish players!!
Yeah! that's why finland has won so many olympic games (0), all those Canada Cups (0), and 1 out 85 world championships. Selanne is a champ too...he's helped his team win a bunch of Stanley Cups! Finns can do everything!
OMG, i was scared shitless! I was biting my finger nails down to my knuckles and when the goal hit, holy shit! I yelled so loud, my fucking throat hurts like shit now.
The Heart Attack Ducks have been doing this the entire 2nd half of the season since they blew a 3-0 lead against Columbus in the last 5 minutes of the game in DEC, losing 4-3.
You can say that about every single goal scored, anywhere, by anybody, in the entire history of hockey. Try it: "If the defense from (TEAM A] hadnt failed to clear, then [TEAM B]wouldnt have scored." Duh. Its 3-2. Both teams have made mistakes and both teams have had questionable calls go against them. Giguere has outplayed Hasek during PK's, thats the difference so far. Its not over yet.
Good, bad or ugly the best teams find ways to win, such is the Ducks, they are the better team in this series! Whiney, crying Wings fans have no place to talk, the league wants them to win this series but that is not going to be so. the Cup will be in So. Cal this year and I hope all you Detroit fans enjoy watching the Finals as they are being played on the "WEST COAST"!
ummm it's been reported the red wings have yet to sell out a home playoff game while the Ducks have a 29 game sell out streak going. all you red wing fans have to face the reality that your team is finished! GO DUCKS!
nothing pisses me off more than to seeing teams from california, florida, north carolina making it to the finals theres probably what 2 ice rinks and 10 players in each of those states not including the NHL players ...teams where fans only show up to games if their team makes the playoffs is bull shit....detroit sells out basicaly every game RED WINGS FLY DUCKS DIE
There are 3o million people in California. You dont think some of us are from cold weather states? By the way, the skiing and snowboarding in California kicks Michigan's ass.
Its true that hockey in Southern California isnt as popular as football, basketball, and baseball (and probably not surfing, horse racing or even poker) but, the truth is, the Ducks have recorded 30+ consecutive sellouts this year. The Samuelis have done a great job since buying the team from Disney.
Typical anachronistic bullsh*t. The world's bigger than Detroit. Redwings amd Oilers fans are all living in the past. PS: SOuthern California *is* a better place to live than Edmonton...OR Detroit.
fact is, much of sports come down to dumb ass luck. anaheim being outshot 26-18, a deflection and a lucky turn over, come on what is that? mighty lucks.
You dont get this far in hockey without some luck. But you dont get this far without skill, either. In Game One, Detroit bounced both goals off of Beauchemin. Of course, homer Detroit fans would never call it luck when their team benefits from it. The Redwings may still win this series. They are a great team. But the Ducks are 4 lines deep up front, have 3 of the games top defensemen, and two top notch goalies. Its more than luck to be one win away from the finals.
They're a bunch of fucking cheaters. Pronger's gay ass hit on Holmstrom, and a bunch of uncalled penalties. We came out wanting to win Game 4 and played horrible. It's damn stupid we're playing with our heads up our ass. Damn Anaheim!
Let's go Red Wings let's go....I still belive last game was really bad luck goal 40second before end!!!!!!Fucking Pronger!!!!!!! I don't want see Pronger in NHL Final with his terrible ridiculousy skates and he skate like asshole:D:D
The Ducks and Senators have been loaded up with questionable penalties and they still win. They are the best teams and I support both teams. Detroit and their low scoring games put me to sleep and are certainly bad for hockey's popularity.
For the sport of hockey it would be good if the Ducks won. If it weren't for California the U.S. would be in disarray. In contrast the U.S. is in disarray because of dying cities that are leeches on the economy. What ratings? In fact ratings would certainly go up because of the interest the Ducks would generate. Hockey is barely on TV to really make a difference to the Networks. They're slighlty ahead of the MLS and WNBA...Yikes! QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!
What a fraud this game was...calling a penalty on Pavel with under a minute was unforgiveable. This is a contact sport, the whole call was BS. Than the fluke goal, and the rest is history. The Ducks should have been swept by now, for the record they have no business even having a hockey team. The NHL better pray the Red Wings kill the ducks, can you imagine a Sens & Ducks playoffs?? Holy Shit ratings would be awful, what a disgrace...For the sake of Hockey the Wings need to win.
Sure, that might have been a bad call but have you even watched this entire series? The Refs have totally fu*ked over the Ducks. Detroit had something like 5 or 6 TWO MAN advantages so far. How many of did the Ducks have? Zero? 30 seconds worth? Like Pronger said, the officiating in this series has been a JOKE.
The Senators were getting the same treatment in their series but all those 2 man advantages against the Ducks were asinine. These Detroit fans with their colourful vocabularies are right to hate Pronger. He will be hoisting the Cup.
How can Detroit be considered part of "The West"? What a bunch of crap. Technically, we could have a Stanley Cup final with Pittsbugh representing the East and Detroit representing the West. What a bunch of crap. Detroit isnt even in a different time zone from eastern conference teams. San Jose, Anaheim, or Vancouver are western tems. Detroit is typical east coast hockey.
I agree 100 percent, the League would be so much better and more exciting if Detroit was put where they should be, and Columbus should be in the East too, the East needs Detroit there, cause the East is so boring!
The referees apparently agree with you. They've done everything they can do to help the Wings and Sabres win and the Ducks and Sens are still ahead. Call it fairly, and the Ducks win the series 4-1. What the hell? Watch the tape of Corey Perry (or was it Penner?) being dragged accross the ice on his belly while the Wings scored their goal. If that wasnt a hook, there is no such thing.
Rule 67: "A minor penalty shall be imposed on a player who interferes with or impedes the progress of an opponent who is not in possession of the puck". The call on Datsyuk was a good one.
Selanne and Mcdonald have suffered from the loss of Chris Kunitz. Most teams would be hurt by the loss of their starting 1st line LW. Hull's an idiot Redwing homer.
Brett Hull was bad mouthing Andy MacDonald and Teemu Selanne before the OT saying they were basically useless. It was so sweet that they made him look stupid. Hats off to Andy for creating the scoring chance.
Brett Hull is a dumb, likeable guy. But he is a Redwing and will never say anything negative about the Redwings. Fine, he should be part of the Redwing announcers, but he should not be on NBC. How can you make a any fair comment about Pronger's hit and not ONCE mention that Holmstrom, along with Brashear and Boogaard, is one of the three dirtiest players in the NHL? Pronger is not known for dirty play, Holmstrom is. But Hull would NEVER EVER say this on TV.
Muahahah SUCK IT WINGS FANS! That was beautiful, to see the Red Wings almost get a shutout, to see a tie goal late in the 3rd, to see them be crushed in overtime at home. Haha that was wonderful. YOU LOSE GOOD DAY SIR!
As this series has gone forward, Ive gained respect for the Redwings players. I like the way Hasek comes out of the net during the national anthem and shows due respect, I like Zetterburg and Datysuk. Holmstrom is a still a punk and he deserved what Pronger gave him. But Redwing fans are fat, low end, white trash Michigan militita. If the Ducks can win one on Tuesday, it will truly be a pleasure to shut these hillbillies up.
"But Redwing fans are fat, low end, white trash Michigan militita. If the Ducks can win one on Tuesday, it will truly be a pleasure to shut these hillbillies up. "
Look around you. Ive been to every playoff game this year. Vs Minnesota, Vs Vancouver, and Vs Detroit. Visiting Detroit fans are the most obnoxious low class "guests" Ive seen. They have no respect for anything or anyone other than other people wearing red. Ducks fans are too polite, IMO. You dont come in against the Raiders or Chargers with your face painted the visiting teams colors or waiving the opponents flag, like redwings fans do.
The refs actually did a halfway decent job for once. I mean, they still made a few bad calls but they didn't dictate every single aspect of the game. Maybe Pronger's words helped.

Of course, homer Detroit fans would never call it luck when their team benefits from it. The Redwings may still win this series. They are a great team. But the Ducks are 4 lines deep up front, have 3 of the games top defensemen, and two top notch goalies. Its more than luck to be one win away from the finals.

Yea, well being a Redwings fan I can still agree with some of the things you're saying. To quote a swedish soccer player: luck is something you earn.

They're a bunch of fucking cheaters. Pronger's gay ass hit on Holmstrom, and a bunch of uncalled penalties. We came out wanting to win Game 4 and played horrible. It's damn stupid we're playing with our heads up our ass. Damn Anaheim!

Nice. Your big bad 250 lb Swedish thug's head was cracked open by a "gay ass" hit? haha
gotham91101 4 years ago
It was an elbow to the back of his you stupid ass. Pronger came full force and Holmstrom wasn't expecting it. He came back and wooped ass though.
stanleycupchamps02 4 years ago
No it was it's helment who did the damage. I can't even think about the damage a Parros hit would give him.

Let's go Red Wings let's go....I still belive last game was really bad luck goal 40second before end!!!!!!Fucking Pronger!!!!!!! I don't want see Pronger in NHL Final with his terrible ridiculousy skates and he skate like asshole:D:D

Pronger's one of the top 10 defensemen to ever play the game. Ever.

The Ducks and Senators have been loaded up with questionable penalties and they still win. They are the best teams and I support both teams. Detroit and their low scoring games put me to sleep and are certainly bad for hockey's popularity.

For the sport of hockey it would be good if the Ducks won. If it weren't for California the U.S. would be in disarray. In contrast the U.S. is in disarray because of dying cities that are leeches on the economy. What ratings? In fact ratings would certainly go up because of the interest the Ducks would generate. Hockey is barely on TV to really make a difference to the Networks. They're slighlty ahead of the MLS and WNBA...Yikes! QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!

What a fraud this game was...calling a penalty on Pavel with under a minute was unforgiveable. This is a contact sport, the whole call was BS. Than the fluke goal, and the rest is history. The Ducks should have been swept by now, for the record they have no business even having a hockey team. The NHL better pray the Red Wings kill the ducks, can you imagine a Sens & Ducks playoffs?? Holy Shit ratings would be awful, what a disgrace...For the sake of Hockey the Wings need to win.
Go Wings!!!!

Sure, that might have been a bad call but have you even watched this entire series? The Refs have totally fu*ked over the Ducks. Detroit had something like 5 or 6 TWO MAN advantages so far. How many of did the Ducks have? Zero? 30 seconds worth? Like Pronger said, the officiating in this series has been a JOKE.
HockeyPacific 4 years ago
The Senators were getting the same treatment in their series but all those 2 man advantages against the Ducks were asinine. These Detroit fans with their colourful vocabularies are right to hate Pronger. He will be hoisting the Cup.
perryfan10 4 years ago
How can Detroit be considered part of "The West"? What a bunch of crap. Technically, we could have a Stanley Cup final with Pittsbugh representing the East and Detroit representing the West. What a bunch of crap. Detroit isnt even in a different time zone from eastern conference teams. San Jose, Anaheim, or Vancouver are western tems. Detroit is typical east coast hockey.
gotham91101 4 years ago
I agree 100 percent, the League would be so much better and more exciting if Detroit was put where they should be, and Columbus should be in the East too, the East needs Detroit there, cause the East is so boring!
alextheyankeehater 2 years ago
The referees apparently agree with you. They've done everything they can do to help the Wings and Sabres win and the Ducks and Sens are still ahead. Call it fairly, and the Ducks win the series 4-1. What the hell? Watch the tape of Corey Perry (or was it Penner?) being dragged accross the ice on his belly while the Wings scored their goal. If that wasnt a hook, there is no such thing.
gotham91101 4 years ago
Rule 67: "A minor penalty shall be imposed on a player who interferes with or impedes the progress of an opponent who is not in possession of the puck". The call on Datsyuk was a good one.

Selanne and Mcdonald have suffered from the loss of Chris Kunitz. Most teams would be hurt by the loss of their starting 1st line LW. Hull's an idiot Redwing homer.
gotham91101 4 years ago
Brett Hull was bad mouthing Andy MacDonald and Teemu Selanne before the OT saying they were basically useless. It was so sweet that they made him look stupid. Hats off to Andy for creating the scoring chance.
perryfan10 4 years ago
Brett Hull is a Redwing and he has no business acting as an impartial observer. He badmouthed Pronger, too.
gotham91101 4 years ago
oooooo Hull badmouth Pronger oooooooo
jackass

Brett Hull is a dumb, likeable guy. But he is a Redwing and will never say anything negative about the Redwings. Fine, he should be part of the Redwing announcers, but he should not be on NBC. How can you make a any fair comment about Pronger's hit and not ONCE mention that Holmstrom, along with Brashear and Boogaard, is one of the three dirtiest players in the NHL? Pronger is not known for dirty play, Holmstrom is. But Hull would NEVER EVER say this on TV.

Muahahah SUCK IT WINGS FANS! That was beautiful, to see the Red Wings almost get a shutout, to see a tie goal late in the 3rd, to see them be crushed in overtime at home. Haha that was wonderful. YOU LOSE GOOD DAY SIR!
FUCK THE RED WINGS!

As this series has gone forward, Ive gained respect for the Redwings players. I like the way Hasek comes out of the net during the national anthem and shows due respect, I like Zetterburg and Datysuk. Holmstrom is a still a punk and he deserved what Pronger gave him. But Redwing fans are fat, low end, white trash Michigan militita. If the Ducks can win one on Tuesday, it will truly be a pleasure to shut these hillbillies up.

Where the hell did you come up w/ that?
stcolympia 4 years ago
Look around you. Ive been to every playoff game this year. Vs Minnesota, Vs Vancouver, and Vs Detroit. Visiting Detroit fans are the most obnoxious low class "guests" Ive seen. They have no respect for anything or anyone other than other people wearing red. Ducks fans are too polite, IMO. You dont come in against the Raiders or Chargers with your face painted the visiting teams colors or waiving the opponents flag, like redwings fans do.

The refs actually did a halfway decent job for once. I mean, they still made a few bad calls but they didn't dictate every single aspect of the game. Maybe Pronger's words helped.
