Third Man In

Yes RWNW you better be there on Saturday or I'll be looking for you! I like Babcock's approach to game 3--don't weather the storm, BE the storm. Another early goal or two would be huge. But the Wings need to respond if the Pens score first in this one. I want to see the Wings bear down on the PP more this game. Granted, a lot of the PPs have been late in the game when the Wings were just killing the clock, so the PP success rate for this series is a bit distorted. But they can't expect to remain 0-for the series and win on the road. Full 60 minutes tonight. Mule's gonna bring it tonight. Go Wings!

Babcock has a presser scheduled to start real soon (12:40 ET). You can find it here Edit: Presser rescheduled as per posts below

Love the "Please stand by" sign btw. The NHL spares no expense on these things!

You shouldn't. It should open either in the embedded WMP or in VLC.

lol no worries! It happens to all of us. TSN was a bit slow to get it up last night anyway. Yes, this is a good place. Also, the different team portals through NHL.tv also have a lot of pressers and interviews archived pretty quick after the games for free: Wings TV Penguins TV

TSN has it here

You mean these guys? Note the advert on the boards

From the Post-Gazette's game blog: 2:23: Zetterberg dances around Hal Gill like a pylon and throws a backhander on net. Fleury covers it up. Gill gives Zetterberg a shove after the play. The Penguins are taking all sorts of extra shots at the Red Wings after the play. They're playing like the Flyers. Ouch.

I'm so proud of this team. But I think that tonight the player I'm most proud of is Datsyuk. We've seen him go from a player questioned about his playoff performance going into last year's playoffs to this clutch, absolutely hardcore little Russian that still has dazzling skills but is now also throwing around his body and punching Gary Roberts in the face. Dats really deserves that A on his sweater. And hopefully his name somewhere special.

Seriously. Throw out the scoreboard. Which team are you proud to be a fan of tonight?

Dats just f***ed up Roberts!

I'm very disappointed with the Penguins' tactics here at the end of the game. But the refs are doing a nice job since the missed call on Roberts of reeling this game in.

Wow, Roberts. My respect for you just went :flush:

Wow, Malone is just full of fail tonight

Let's Go Red Wings! :clap: :clap: Let's Go Red Wings! :clap: :clap:

Fail!

C'mon Terrible Ted! Take out Bettman when you have the chance!

Pens' dump and chase approach here doesn't have a whole lot of promise--one 5-on-5 shot in half a game probably isn't gonna cut it. That being said, the Wings are sitting back a bit much at this point in the game. Don't call off the dogs yet, Babcock!

I thought the team displayed this desire last year as well. The end result just wasn't what they desired.

Thanks for remembering!

C'mon! Homer's stick was clearly in the crease and prevented Fleury from making that save. Why does that count?

That woulda been huge for Dano!

Let's Go Red Wings! :clap: :clap: What in the world could Fleury have slipped on there eh? :octo: *splat* :octo: *splat*

Wings: Full 60 minute effort tonight. Not 40. Play your game, avoid penalties, keep driving to the net and banging and crashing, and things should go well. Pittsburgh will be better. The Wings need to be as well. Go Wings! Feed the Mule!

Oops, eh? That has a funny way of happening to visiting teams in Detroit during the playoffs. -->*alarm*--> --> Someone should really look into that. Go Mule! Go Wings!
