Detroit Red Wings have Blackhawks on ropes

All the good news was delivered early. When the Blackhawks and Red Wings hit the United Center ice for their pregame skate before Game 4 of the Western Conference finals Sunday afternoon, Martin Havlat was skating for the home team while Nicklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk weren't for the visitors.

Not sure what Quenneville is whining about. Bad call? Even the game out? Did one of his players get 5 min major and game misconduct for a legal hit? Was his team short handed for 17 of 20 minutes of the first period of this game? Is he a hockey coach or a crybaby? I'm confused. This should be a sweep were the refs not the MVP for Chicago in Game3. Its easy to have more scoring chances and shots on goal when the other team is a man down. I heard and saw so many comparisons of the way the hawks played to the wings it was hysterical. The hawks couldn't hold the wings jock straps.

Bottom line, Hawks played a way thought would work, it didn't. They could not compose themselves that is the difference between a winning program this time of year and one that makes vacation plans. Their coach couldn't or didn't know how to control his team and play the way they needed to if they were to have any chance in the series. He and his team showed just how wide the gap is between his program and the Wings really is............

Game was already decided by the refs-What did Eager say to the refs to get a misconduct? Ref told him-its over you're screwed-really hard to watch- Versteeg looked sideways at a wing and he was thrown out-PATHETIC!
Too bad the game was not fairly officiated, I would have enjoyed watching a fair contest, not this
