I will be streaming this game at http://freeredwings.tv.

So our goal scorers for the night so far - Cranky Cleary and Happy Hudler

Yams.

Aren't we playing the Oilers??

since 96/97 the blues have only won 5 playoff series. since 96/97 the wings have only won 4 stanely cups. suck it, blue troll

With a win tonight we will. But let's be real here. It's going to come down to Chicago and Detroit in the end.

Maybe the Blues fans should concentrate actually winning a playoff series for the first time in ages and thats assuming they hang on to the playoff spot.

Survived the first. Let's take it to them in the 2nd! Second year for me and still going strong. Thanks Drum!

Just started up the game time shifted on the DVR, but it's nice to hear Cleary popped one. Apparently Watson is reffing true to form with the 5 on 3 vs us?

Pulkinen got the first goal Against Canada in the world Junior exhibition game so far. His patent slapshot

Staying up a little later for this one. LGW!!!

And here's Murph slurring all over the place. Gotta love him!

I don't see the Hawks or Wild keeping up their paces, its still a long season and sooner or later it will change. It is nice to see teams like The Blues and Wild doing good though, fan bases are strong and they deserve to have some good hockey to cheer for.

I wouldn't call it a collapse. It wasn't good, but it's not like Nashville dominated us. They won on a lucky bounce, literally.

Red Wings only here... I've lived in Calgary, Montreal and now Ottawa and I have gone to see games in each city but I will NEVER wear anything but Red Wings gear. Lol, my wife is from Montreal and is a Habs fan, I won't even drink out of her Canadiens cup that she has.

ottawaghost is hilarious. Why did this get negged so bad? f*** go ahead and neg me for this one then! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQN74ZA41go

That voice he uses to try to imitate Shanahan is just hilarious. It doesn't even sound like him, but I love how it sounds.

not one of ottawaghosts better ones but i thought it was funny

What a beautiful sport.

I draw the line at other teams jerseys myself. I think in my case though it's just as much spending that kind of cash on another teams jeresey... ewww.

Except Ericsson isn't continuing to play bad. In fact, he's been quite solid back there. He has his brain cramps like most dman have... but overall, he's been fine, and definitely not been the 'problem'. Smith has shown glimpses of greatness, but as we watched in his last game(?) on the Red Wings is his ability to feed the other team free goals. Of course, I see him learning to make better decisions in the future, but right now, to Red Wings standards, he's not ready to crack the roster... yet. Let him play in GR and hone his game. In every loss I can point to one player that made a stupid play that cost us a goal. From Zetterberg's giveaway in the Boston game (which we won in SO), to Howards softy in last night's game to the Blues, but to me, Ericsson is the least of the problems. This team, overall, isn't playing with the spark we saw in 2007, 08, and 09. Unless one can argue Lebda and Lilja were game changers, stop blaming Ericsson.

I highly doubt Holland would waive Ericsson. Good luck getting free agents to come here with a GM dismissing players a couple months into a new contract.

Yeah, that was an enormously huge amount of time---roughly 48 hours. See above. Is "no, u" really the best you can do?

i think that Helm would have a shot at the Selke if he ever got a chance on the 2nd line... or at least the 3rd line with a couple more offensive players on his line. cause we all know, in the NHL in order to be the best defensive forward in the game you have to score at least 30 goals for some stupid reason. that year draper won it...30 goals. why can't it just be for "the best defensive forward"? on topic though...it's good to see ferraro progressing. they should try to convert him to wing and have a line in a couple years of Helm at centre with Mursak and Ferraro. that's a freakishly fast line.

Atta boys!!!!! That was a Zata backhander eh.
