OT- Red Wings Playoff Game 2 All Purpose thread.
Slow day on the board, and that damn Tigers game was a turd. Figure we'd rock this as a drinking, pregame and game thread as one to save us from the non hockey fans who will be nice enough to take the time and comment how much they don't like this thread.
On to the good stuff...
Wings and Preds provide us with some Friday night entertainment. I personally think whoever wins this game has about a 95% chance of taking the series. If Nashville goes up 2-0, it's gonna be tough to come back. If we win, it's suddenly a best of 5 series and we've got home ice.
What do you guys think?
I'll be sitting at home with some pizza, one leftover oberron and a case of bud light, chatting along.
What is your preferred beverage tonight?
As always, Go Wings and GO BLUE!
Predators are diving like it's the World Cup. They must think it's the Academy Awards on ice.
If the wings kill this one the game is pretty much in the bag.

Shit, they score.

Shea Webber of all people
April 13th, 2012 at 10:01 PM ^
That will raise the intensity of this one for the next 4 minutes.
April 13th, 2012 at 10:02 PM ^
Why the FUCK is Weber still able to shoot? If the Wings had any self respect, that son of a bitch would be either in the locker room or begging to stay on the bench. Instead, I guess they're just going to lay down and let him and the Predators walk all over them.

Hard to really go after a guy when you're constantly shorthanded. Bertuzzi tried to set him straight right off the bat.
April 13th, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
Yeah, but the SOB should have a broken orbital bone or at least a black eye by now.

He's on the PK, isn't he?
April 13th, 2012 at 10:05 PM ^

Good job wings.
April 13th, 2012 at 10:27 PM ^
to grind out a win. Howard was terrific, Bert set the tone early, and Hank was all over the ice. Great job by the PK unit.
April 13th, 2012 at 10:11 PM ^
Series tied up!!
April 13th, 2012 at 10:12 PM ^
I left the room for a second, checked this while not watching the last 30 seconds, and almost pooped myself.
EDIT: Your edit was faster than mine.

That'll do.
April 13th, 2012 at 10:11 PM ^
The first thing that should have happened after the horn was someone taking a baseball bat swing at Weber's face with their stick. Quincey can do it, since we wouldn't miss him
April 13th, 2012 at 10:12 PM ^
The wings are certainly in need of an enforcer.

And now on to the Flyers - Pens game. Holy Christ, 7-5??? These goalies should be dragged out into the street and beaten after this game.
April 13th, 2012 at 10:18 PM ^
One of the Pens goals was just a half-assed backhand that got through. Once again, Bryzgalov not playing up to his contract when it counts
April 13th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
Nice. Big win
April 13th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
Wow 8-5 flyers. I love seeing the Pens suffer
April 13th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
Great scenario for us. Splitting in Nashville. If we can take 2 at the Joe this series is over baby. I feel like we outplayed them in both games. If it wasn't for 2 fluke goals game 1 we would be up 2-0 in the series for sure.

Now the Wings have the opportunity to be in the driver's seat with home ice advantage this Sunday and Tuesday! Let's sweep em in Motown! Outstanding PK tonight too and our physical play looked 100% better than last night! When we control the speed, we dominate the possession time and momentum! Keep it up! GO WINGS!
2-0 on Vancouver after tonight. Would love to avoid the 'nucks.
