Wings Win Game 3!

Submitted by WichitanWolverine on

So we surprisingly don't have an open thread yet, but the wings are about to start the third period with a 2-0 lead. Obviously this is a must-win game.

Go Wings!

EDIT: Game over. Wings win. Shutout by Mrazek. Next game Tuesday.

A surprising number, I found when I lived in Columbus. There was a brief "defection" to the Jackets in 2009 when they finally made the Playoffs, but that ended right quick as the Wings promptly gutted them in four straight (though the clinching game did provide some excitement).

I was at a bar watching one of the games, it's been a long time but a quick google tells me it was Game 2, the Wings scored early in the 3rd to make it 4-0. This guy sitting a few spots down from me, an older fella who I could tell from some of his other statements he hadn't watched much hockey before that day, says, "OK, they're gonna win but they'd better call off the dogs, our boys are gonna remember this for the next one." I'm just like, two things, firstly, LOL, secondly, yeah I'm sure you were saying that when Tressel was running the score up on Rich Rod a few months back. Surprisingly that shut him up.

It's kind of hard to believe that tonight's second goal from the Wings was Zetterberg's first goal in the playoffs in almost two years. I really hadn't thought the drought for him was quite that long. 

It is nice to see this get chippy too, as in the Red Wings will have none of that, thank you.
