Game Five in Hockeytown...Can Wings Close Out Chicago?

It was a brutal, edge of your seat kinda game on Sunday, but the Detroit Red Wings took matters into their own hands and placed the Chicago Blackhawks on the edge of elimination 6-1 at the United Center. This, despite the absence of two of their top stars, Captain Nicklas Lidstrom and hot-handed Center, Pavel Datsyuk for Game Four in the Windy City.

Top producers of the Winged Wheelers lent a hand Sunday, scoring a bevy of early goals and chasing Goalie Cristobal Huet, who was playing his first start in these playoffs for injured top man, Nikolai Khabibulin, from between the pipes. Huet returned for the third period, but the damage had been done. Wings' #2 Goalie, Ty Conklin even got a little ice time Sunday and we can only imagine that felt good, because 'The Wizard of Oz' has done his part to remain the go-to man, thus far.

Hockeytown is ready....ready to celebrate....again!

The focus now turns to Wednesday night at the Joe Louis Arena, as the Red Wings look to seal the door shut on the Blackhawks and enter the final round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against what looks to be a talented....and vengeful Pittsburgh Pengiuns team. You'll remember the Wings defeated the Pens for last year's Stanley Cup, so if Pittsburgh can end the Canes' run tonight, it promises to be a challenging final round for Detroit.

GO RED WINGS!!!!
