    10/16 GDT: Canucks 4, Red Wings 3 (OT)

    I was so convinced Lilja was gonna score at the buzzer there!

    Sidenote: is "drinkability" really something to hang your hat on as a beer? Did they think "Bud Light: not total swill" wasn't catchy enough?

    You think so? It looked to me like the puck wouldn't settle for him until Luongo was over and in position to make the save. Yeah, the pass to Homer wasn't a great option, but he didn't have anything to shoot at.

    Cleary always seems to have the knack on breakaways and penalty shots. Way to stick with the play.

    Ozzie really seems to be fighting the puck. Even on that last save, which was a tough one, he looks as though he's nervously watching the puck all the way to his pads rather than relying on his positioning to make saves, as he does when he's on his game.

    Wow. Brutal coverage there by Kronners and Stuart. You guys are really just going to stand there and wave your sticks at a pass up the middle?

    Ducks Vs. LA

    That was their game in 2007 as well, they were just better able handle the constant stream of penalty kills. But as has been said, it's early yet. Hey, the Wings lost to Toronto opening night, and no one here is giving up yet. (Ok, a couple were giving up, but this is LGW after all...)

    Zetterbergs line

    Forget about Z after 3 games--the entire forward corps of the team is adjusting to new linemates. Developing chemistry takes time. That doesn't mean that Babcock shouldn't keep switching things around (it's always good to have players used to playing with different linemates in case of injuries or things getting stale). But I think 3 games is a bit early to judge the new line combos, or any individual player's performance with them.

    10/13 GDT: Red Wings 3, Hurricanes 1

    Hey all! Long time no see! I've been out of the country and away from the Internets for awhile, but I'm back. I was at the home opener on Thursday and now I'm looking forward to this one and talking hockey with you all this season. Go Wings!

    Flash forward 20 years--anyone else seeing Hudler following Aaarnold's path? (I mean politician, not bodybuilder, of course)

    Actually, you might want to wait until after all the 'dignitaries' are done before switching over.

    Those watching online, this is a good time to switch to the feed at redwings.nhl.tv It's much higher quality than the WDIV feed.

    There will be a rally at Hart Plaza after the parade, and it will be televised.

    My favorite moment of the 2002 parade was getting behind the Cup in the last car and following it down Woodward to Hart Plaza to where the stage is set up. You're in this huge herd of people headed towards the river, and then all the sudden you hit this absolute mass of people in the plaza. People climbing shoulders, trees, stop signs, whatever to get a view. Absolutely priceless. Hope they do it again today behind the last car.

    I know it's been said many times before, but damn the NHL knows how to make trophies. Dats!

    Lidstrom="The Perfect One" It's clear Carmen read her notes the night before and half remembers them

    Lids will have the Cup. It's his first as captain. Yzerman had it in '97, I think Ozzie had it in '98. I forget who had it in '02. Hasek maybe?

    Steve Yzerman interview Q: Was there ever a time when you thought the Wings would not win? A: Umm....no.

    Helm's always on the phone! The only two pictures I could find of him after game 6, he was on the phone too!

    I'd second this.

    The FSN/Fox feed on redwings.tv has no audio, only looping arena and techno music

    I'm a little weired out by some people being seated backwards on their trucks. Fans won't see them until they're past.

    lol anyone else getting game 1 on the NHL.TV feed? I guess they realized they realized there isn't much to cover yet, unlike WDIV
