"It's the playoffs," Babcock said . "In the series except for Game 2 and Game, this was 6 tonight, there was no space, period."
Ben Bishop made 22 saves for the Lightning, although it was his counterpart, Petr Mrazek, who had the stop of the night — and maybe the season.
"We went down [to Tampa] and played a really solid game," Kronwall said after the Game 6 loss. "That's what we've got to do again."
Tyler Johnson and Jason Garrison scored in the first period, and Johnson added another goal in the second to give the Lightning a 3-0 lead.
Pronovost, a native of Lac la Tortue, Quebec, made his debut for the Red Wings in the 1949-50 playoffs. He soon became a fixture on the Detroit blue line.
Construction crews have started site preparation for the new Detroit Red Wings arena on Woodward in Detroit.
The Red Wings have handled the higher level of physicality better than the Lightning, and Tampa Bay needs to match that grit to score.
"Ok, if you're trying to get out the "coach is whining for penalties" that's not it at all. It's the playoffs, this stuff happens" Cooper said.
"The old saying is, 'If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying,'" Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. "They do it to a 'T.'"
Aside from a three-goal flurry at the end of Game 4, Detroit goalie Petr Mrazek has shut out the Lightning over the last three games.
Petr Mrazek stopped 28 shots and the Detroit Red Wings rebounded from a disappointing loss to shut down the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-0 on Saturday night and take a 3-2 series lead.
Justin Verlander was also at the Wings game, but it appears he was too cool to sit with his teammates.
Mike Babcock does not usually address his team after games. The Detroit Red Wings head coach deviated from that norm Thursday night.
The Red Wings led 2-0 in the third period before Johnson scored with 5:26 remaining. He then assisted on Ondrej Palat's tying goal 77 seconds later.
Joakim Andersson's shot bounced routinely off Bishop and up in the air, but when Bishop tried to bat the puck away with his stick, he instead accidentally knocked it back off the crossbar.
