Michigan with the ENG! Its 2-0! 35.4 seconds left. This is a pretty big upset.

Michigan scores! 1-0! Just seconds after they hit the crossbar...

Looks like the Wolverines are a decent sized underdog. Game about to start... Lets go Blue!

BRUTAL penalty call there on Riley.

A thread named "Believe" and no pics of Bernie? Really? You guys are slippin'.

Helm shorty in OT?

Wings will be shorthanded in OT. 4 on 3 powerplays are killers... Ugh.

Come on Wings, get a late goal here...

I love how Doc and Pierre both comment that it could have been a penalty on Chicago for interference and Eddie O was SILENT.

...and Adonis DNA?

Kopecky scores, but its clearly a kick in, so I am expecting to get screwed over by Toronto here.

GOALLLLLLLLLLL TIE GAME!! The powerplay came through!

JoeyMac definitely keeping the Wings in this one right now.

Are you KIDDING me? How is that NOT a penalty, let alone not a penalty shot? WOW.

Joey Mac huge save on Hossas breakaway!

How good do you expect the defense to be during a penalty kill? Someone is always going to be open.

Wings powerplay coming up. Hawks going off for delay of game.

I'm only talking about the hit, not the penalty from it.

Lidstrom! Tie game!

Come on, people. If a Wing got hit like that you'd all be asking for for blood.

I completely agree with the misconduct for Bert. His elbow was up and clearly made head contact. Hossa gets a penalty now, and its 4 on 4 for 2:00.

Bertuzzi hits Johnson and draws a penalty. Johnson saw him at the last minute and tried to avoid him, but Berts elbow was up. 5 and a game for Bert.

With Joey McDonald down in the minors and Chris Osgood possibly unavailable, the Red Wings brought in Passingham on a 24-hour tryout contract to possibly be Jimmy Howard's emergency backup Wednesday for a game against the Vancouver Canucks. At the morning skate, Passingham said he didn't even know how much money he will receive, although that seemed to be the least of his concerns. "My mindset will be to be prepared, and hopefully I will just watch, but you never know," said Passingham, who was an overage junior goalie for the Sarnia (Ontario) Sting who didn't make the playoffs. Early in the afternoon, the Red Wings still weren't sure of Osgood's status. He has been recovering from surgery. The Red Wings sent down McDonald when they recalled Jan Mursak. Tight against the salary cap, the Red Wings ey have short-term injuries/illnesses with Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen and Jiri Hudler. Coach Mike Babcock will make a decision on Hudler after the pre-game skate. Passingham hopes to be signed by a pro team, but if he doesn't receive any offers, he plans to play Canadian college hockey. "Still chasing the dream," he said.

Over-age. Means 20 or older on the team. Usually there is a cap as to how many you can have on a team.
