Lets Go Red Wings!

Opening Night for the Defending Stanley Cup Champions!!!!

Figured I'd give people a place to chat about it while taking a break from beating their head against their keyboard while digesting the UFR.

NLCS begins tonight and there is a big ACC game on as well, so those are open topics to anyone out there couching it up tonight watching sports.

I'll start by predicting the three stars for tonight's game, in no particular order:

Zetterberg, Franzen and Cleary

I thought the banner ceremony was nice....all those trophies in a big circle, plus the handing of the banner from the old greats to the new franchise players was well done. 

 

If only they'd won the game.  There's only 1 red wings game per month on versus :(

Not a great game last night for the Wings.  Lots of turnovers.  Two of the Leafs' three goals were unassisted.  Take away Osgood's blunder and they get at least a point.  Late in the game when it was 3-2 the Wings could hardly get to center ice with the puck.  It reminds me of how the Wings can shut down other teams when they have the lead.

The turnovers last night were brutal, and they give Babs a reason to have a brutal practice early. While it is never good to lose, this might help get the team focused on being more detail-oreiented earlier this year.
