the websop stream is solid as always.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:11 PM ^
Edit = The Veetle links are usually the best.

Lets Go Wings!
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
Kinda crazy this many Wings fans are at the arena in Phoenix...
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
It's Phoenix. And a hockey rink. In Phoenix.
I'm shocked the NHL didn't have to hand out tickets for free just to fill the place up.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:41 PM ^
For the free AC alone.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:16 PM ^
(zing)
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:46 PM ^
There are more Wings fans down there than in past playoff series against the Coyotes....
April 24th, 2010 at 12:23 AM ^
As Michigan has lost population in waves over the past 2 decades, those people had to end up somewhere, and Phoenix was a place that attracted a lot of Michiganders.
You mean that one series in 97-98? They might have had more fans back then because it was just their second year in the city and their population could've been drawn to the new hotness.

Got so caught up in the Draft, I lost track of the time.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:30 PM ^
Dew ettttttttt
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
Howard looking sharp.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:38 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLAAASSSSSOOOO
GOLASSO GOLASSO GOLASSO
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:39 PM ^
goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:44 PM ^
that guy is a douche
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:44 PM ^
Fiddler's a bitch
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:50 PM ^
Grumble results based intent to injure rules.
That should have been five and the game.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:54 PM ^
Let's see if we can put together a solid additional 40 minutes now.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:55 PM ^
and the tigers just tied it up in the top of the ninth with 2 outs.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:58 PM ^
Forgot to turn the game back to MLBN at the end of the period.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:59 PM ^
w/in the wings thread, just in between periods. Ni walks way too many hitters.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
They just intentionally walked Ryan Garko, a below average hitter...take out Ni, bring in Perry and as anyone with half a brain would do, Washington brings in Cruz who has arguably been the best hitter in baseball so far this year. If they lose in Cruz's at-bat, Leyland will look stupid.
Edit: He walked. Seriously, what a stupid fucking move. Now you have Perry trying to get out of a bases loaded jam totally created by the manager. Unbelievable.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:13 PM ^
goddamnit - outside of valverde and zumaya, our relief pitching is ass.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:15 PM ^
umm, what?
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:17 PM ^
I think our relief staff has been solid this year. That first walk with no outs from Ni really hurt us that inning.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:18 PM ^
You can't put that on Perry at all. That was totally Leyland. There's no way you should take Ni out in that situation when he's facing a guy that can't hit a lick, but not only did they do that, they intentionally walked him. It's just one game, but that intentional walk was arguably the dumbest thing I have seen in a long time....then you expect Perry to face a monster like Cruz? I'll stop before I go on a longer rant; let's just say that was Zambrano-to-the-bullpen level moronic.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
that was a dogshit play. fucking jovo stepped on howard.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:23 PM ^
Half the goals scored this post season have been dogshit. They're letting the payers beat the hell out of each other this year. Unless it's Hank Zetterberg, Jesus.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:25 PM ^
i understand garbage goals. its how you come by goals in the playoffs.
but you cant fucking step on the goalie before he can make the save.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:28 PM ^
It was an illegal goal, and shouldn't have counted. But I've seen quite a few this postseason.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:30 PM ^
days, the NHL is going to have good, consistent officiating that is also consistent to the rules and everybody is going to be shocked and there are going to be many more fans. In the 11 seconds that are left before the world implodes, that is.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:38 PM ^
the NHL with good consistent unbiased officiating.
and im a vegan buckeye who hates beer.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:24 AM ^
I hate Bettman at least as much as the next guy, but even I'm not going to go so far as to say officiating is biased without far more proof than a bunch of crappy calls in a sport where there are many, many, many crappy calls. Especially when I'm biased one way and the calls are generally pretty subjective.
So, the NHL is 1/3 of the way there. Unfortunately, that's a crappy percentage even by U-M orgo/engineering/intro physics standards...
April 24th, 2010 at 12:29 AM ^
it's way better than the NBA.
That league is an absolute joke when it comes to officiating. Which is a big reason why I almost never watch hoops any more.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:24 PM ^
bullpen ERA in either the AL or the whole MLB I believe I heard Mario and Rod say tonight. Our bullpen has been saving our starters asses the whole season. Our starters have had trouble getting into the 6th inning so far this year.
I am excited for what Austin Jackson can become in the future. Yes, he strikes out ALOT, but he covers so much ground in the outfield and he is hitting in the .300's so far.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:27 PM ^
Another reason why you keep the game in their hands and stop trying to overmanage. Perry, Zumaya and Valverde have been excellent so far, but it's hard to be excellent when your manager puts you in a shitty position like Perry was put into.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
This game is going right now. We need to turn this thing around.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:41 PM ^
if i didnt know better, id think nick lidstrom was canadian, just from his accent. classic. im really gonna miss him when he retires. my favorite Wing since i was 10.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:51 PM ^
I do so love when the Wings just take a period off.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:01 AM ^
Saved one there.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:01 AM ^
Game saver, thus far.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:04 AM ^
NEVER a good sign.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
What is wrong with the damn video feed on Vs.? I'm having a hard time following with the screen going choppy every 3 seconds. I wish ESPN would have been able to keep the NHL contract.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:10 AM ^
we haven't been able to clear the zone for shit this series
April 24th, 2010 at 12:11 AM ^
Nice penalty kill, Jimmy Howard is keeping us in this game.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:13 AM ^
Where's 500th when you need him?
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!
April 24th, 2010 at 12:11 AM ^
Way to many scoring chances.
Fuck.
