Anaheim's Teemu Selanne put the Ducks on the score board, but Mikael Samuelsson's answered back to put the Wings up 3-1.
However, Anaheim wasn't down for the count. Corey Perry scored a little over a minute later, and Bobby Ryan's goal tied the game at 3-3. Detroit fought back with 3:00 left in the third to go up 4-3 on Anaheim via a Daniel Perry goal and win the game.
The Red Wings now face the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference Finals.
As expected, we've got some excited Red Wings fans and some disappointed Anaheim fans tweeting their thoughts after the game:
