And went to Ohio State. Boo.

Tee hee.

Then wave off the goal for incidental contact with the goaltender, if you don't call the interference penalty because you can't tell whether the Canuck was pushed or not. Jimmy was physically unable to make the save because there was an opposing player on top of him. We've seen goals disallowed for that any number of times, whether there's a penalty called on the play or not.

Just got back from game. The Canucks got a few lucky bounces, we had none. Luongo was sharp ... we had a few boneheaded plays that resulted in early goals. That hit on Kesler was dope ... Can't win them all. Still awesome to see them live.

And Lucic is from Vancouver. Big fan?

Gotta love seeing how the goalie interference call is so inconsistent.

How was that second hit on Flip legal? puck was gone for a week.

HELM HIT THE NET!~!@@@!!!!!!!!RWEFSC$!!!

I'll be at this game! flew in from the easy kootenays yesterday just for this, first nhl game ever. Go Wings!

I think our FSN crew might be enjoying a little too much Miller Lite for a broadcasting scenario.

Teammates want to fire up Filppula http://www.freep.com/article/20110925/SPORTS05/109250596/Red-Wings-teammates-want-fire-up-Valtteri-Filppula Ken Holland was probably the first to throw out that 70 point potential number for Filppula right after he signed him to his current contract. At the same time, he added a qualifier to it. So I'd like to poll LGW and maybe create our own definition of what a breakout year for him would really be. I'd also like to see where people predict his point totals will be by the end of the year. It could be a fun little hindsight thread.

Thick headed, nice. I just don't like agitators like Kesler or Ott, however I do enjoy Avery, hard to explain I know. But I'm not from Detroit, I don't choose my favorite teams based on where I live. Otherwise I'd be a St John's Maple Leafs fan!

Negged for that?

Didn't Kronwall score after Luongo got bumped last year and it didn't count?

Somebody get out there and help Jimmy, he can't win this game on his own. Nice saves but that won't score any goals.

I still think the Wings will come back. Get a quick one here, guys. one goal game then!

I'd like to call 1-800 CALL SAM for this Red Wings defense ruining my night so far.

Does anyone know if there is a stream tonight anywhere? Preferably Detroit if you got it. NM...found one.

How many of those 90% French speaking fans do you think can speak English as well? Probably close to all of them especially the younger ones. So would it really be a burden to listen to an interview from the coach in English which you can certainly understand just fine? It's a game FFS. Everything of importance in their life like business and whatever else is probably done in French. I actually went to Montreal 2 years ago in the summer. I don't speak a lick of French and I had no trouble eating out or going to bars or anything really.

Ohhhh Sedins.....

Probably.

I lived in upstate NY for a couple years, and we spent every other weekend in Quebec. There is definitely an intolerance for all things non-francais. Countless times we were treated rudely, and we would just laugh at them and go somewhere else. Montreal proper is much more tolerant of Anglophiles. In my opinion, a Habs head coach should speak French...it's his job to communicate with the press, and French is the native language of the Province. Good point on the politicians....they're all crooks and use anything they can to distract people from real problems. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

I don't want to start a flame war about politics but... it's perfectly ordinary to see politicians stirring the pot with statements whenever they think they can gain any popularity, nevermind the subject and any common sense about issues really having anything to do with politics. so, apparently, Quebec officials decided, that their electorate is likely to appreciate government doing its best "Francophone small **** syndrome" impression. If anything, this speaks volumes about... the electorate. Aparently, French-Canadian are more concerned about the language than the fact that their team is worthless...

A lot of the things Filppula does on the ice doesn't show up on the score-sheet and he also is one of the few Wings who steps up his game significantly in the playoffs, but with that said a break out year is anywhere north of 50 points and I think he'll reach that mark this season.
