Puck drops at 7:30ET. At stake is the home streak (going for 24) and sitting alone at the top of the NHL/Western Conference. Two points for the Canucks tonight and they tie us up. Datsyuk is still out tonight, so we need production from elsewhere.
I have some Fat Tire on deck, and that seems to coincide with good performances by the Wings.
For a session beer, I like it better than anything else available year round. It's not a Double Bastard, Hopslam or DFH 90, but if you're going to buy a twelve pack, I like it as well as anything.
Also, NHL network is still saying they're showing NHL On The Fly...WTF?
Canucks = dirty, dirty hitting team.
Vancouver killed off the PK, and they're outplaying the Wings currently. We need to be able to keep possession in their zone, and have them GTFO of ours.
Weakish call, still 0-0.
PK killed off, Detroit starting to slowly look better (Howard has looked great, though).
Let's go wings!!
1-0 Wings.
Trying to watch the game...
They have every game, from what I hear on the open threads. I haven't used it, but it gets linked to a lot here.
your comment didn't show. Eh, shame about that site though.
Can't start a new thread but theres heavy talk about Jack Johnson being traded to Columbus of all places. TSN's Bob McKenzie saying deal is potentially JJ and a 1st rounder for Jeff Carter. Last place id want Jack to go but maybe its the opportunity he needs as a #1 Dman.
Cheaters...
Cheaters...
I know we don't like Vancouver but not every team is Akron State and worships a golden Bobcat idol.
Changing up the PP, and it's a little more successful than their umbrella they ran for the first couple. One last break before even strength.
Is it just me or is Franzen looking slow and sluggish out there tonight? He didn't leave the zone in time on the 2nd PP and then a weak bump from a Canuck knocks him off the puck.
Wings outshot 17-5, and went 0-3 on the PP. Unfortunately for the Canucks, this is hockey and 1-0 is all that matters so far. Still, though, let's hope for some adjustments.
As much as I want to pass the wings for the Presidents Trophy, I would much rather see it not go to Vancouver. Go Wings.
Jack Johnson confirmed to Columbus pending a Jeff Carter physical
Wow. I knew the Kings were desperate for some offense, but I'm not so sure that trading Jack was the way to go.
Edit: Where did you hear this?
Edit #2: I found it. http://www.mynhltraderumors.com/2012/02/23/the-columbus-blue-jackets-trade-jeff-carter-to-the-la-kings-for-jack-johnson-and-a-1st/
Quincey looks pretty good in his first game with the Wings. The best part is that he will only get better with time and as his comfort level increases.
Looking a little less good after taking a couple penalties.
Very true. Both were bad penalties, but also on the marginal side. Still like what he brings to the table.
Quincey for a trip.
Damn good job getting that blocked. Very nice.
Hope they call that, I can't stand the fucking Canucks and that was most definitely a crosscheck.
Pretty clear crosscheck after the play. Can't believe they're letting them get away with that.
WTF, refs?!?! No crosscheck?? No interference???
Ehhhhhhh.
Holy shit. These refs suck.
And Vancouver is dumb enough to even it up like two seconds into their power play. Very nice.
"Well, that was a good kill." LOL.
Sedin evens it up, 1-1.
Four on three it looks like. If the puck was loose that was a good penalty to take, if not Vancouver is just being their normal dumb selves.
Shots are 23-11 Vancouver, and the refs haven't treated us well so far. We're lucky this is still tied.
Eh?
Lidstrom=awesome, things just didn't break the right way that time.
PP getting nice angles, but no dice so far.
"Another Brick in the Wall" seems a little grim for arena rock, no?
I had them play it to protest the fact that your school ambitions have you reading important things instead of going to BGSU with MGoBloggers this weekend. Glad you noticed, and I hope you take that to heart.
I am a proud scarlet brick, one of millions stacked high to build the scientific reputation of Ohio, one cell count at a time.
Man, I thought we were going to get one there.
All that beautiful pressure and nothing to show for it. 1-1 after 2 periods.
Off the post. Damn.
Reaffirms my belief that the Wings can't stand pat at the deadline. Granted, Datyuk is out, but a right handed point shot would be nice. Hate to say this, but I kinda miss Mikael Samuelsson.
Sorry, grammar police.
Quincey!!!
He's having an interesting night tonight, to say the least.
Awww yeah!
Good to have Quincey back!
Phew!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
GODDAMNIT!
Abdelkader!!!!
3-2 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Woooooooooooooooooo!!
Alright boys, short shifts, stay out of the box, make sure Howard sees what's coming and get Lidstrom some rest real quick fergawdsakes. Let's come out with another win here tonight.
Save, Howard!!!
Yeah. You're going to get downvoted. Just a heads up.
I'm not going to downvote you, though. I've been on the wrong end of a jinx many times before, and let's just say I'm not a favorite at Tigers games where Verlander is about to pitch a perfect game.
HHHHHHOOOOOOWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love being on offense up one as the game ends.
Huge!
Icing??? Srsly???
Interesting manufactured icing call there. Cheaters.
Open net, even strength. Let's go Wings!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
<insertTHJfacehere>
3-3 tie 33 seconds remaining
Never saw it.
The Wings let up more last minute goals (in any period) than anyone. F that crappy icing call.
Overtime.
Wings stay in the top spot in the NHL. Let's extend that lead here boys.
Eff you Direct TV for having this game blacked out for some reason.
hopefully bertuzzi can atone for his icing in the shootout...
horrible icing call. No way should that have been icing.
Serously, fuck that call.
Shootout.
No Datsyuk in the shootout :(
Dear Pavel Datsyuk,
I miss you.
Love,
justingoblue
We really need to get 2 points tonight.
That's like Michigan's fumble recovery rate. Very sustainable.
Need ya here!
that's not how to start a shootout
Nice save Howard!!!
Helluva run, boys. Fuck that icing call.
SHIT! FUCK! SONOFABITCH!!!!
Vancouver stops the streak in the shoutout. :(
Fucking icing call.........
Game over. -____-
NNNOOOOO
And to think everything would've been different if it weren't for that stupid icing call.
I really, REALLY hate when bad calls by refs swing the game.
had to end sometime. At least they have the record. Hate to see it end, in part due to a bullshit icing call though.
Damn Canuck wasn't even skating on the icing call that cost the wings the game.
Good streak boys. Record wont be taken out for quite a while. Go Wings.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THE STREAK IS OVER!!!!
I, for one, am celebrating heartily. Shoot, I may need to make another beer run tonight!!
Suck it Wings! WOOOOOOOO
still set a record that won't be broken for a long time. I wouldn't celebrate too hard there. Oh well, what would I expect from a Hawks fan.
That doesn't mean I have to be sad about it being over. WOOOOOOO LMFAO PARTY
Another reason to hate the city of Canada.
I can't believe people were crying in the stands after the game.
Homer, # 93, #26.
Helm, Miller, and Abby busts their ass off tonight, this may be the 2nd line.
is getting old, he was never been a fast guy but damn he has slowed way down. Get infront of that net Homes
I hate the Canucks...ya congrats, you outplayed us while we were playing terribly and we still were up 1 with 20 seconds left AND without Datsyuk.
Bullshit icing call on Burt
Go Wings
