Zebra gets in the way of Wings forecheck. Good job.

Unf, no weight on that foot at all.

Ouch Pisani. Hate to see a guy go down for working hard.

Funny how a penalty laden game turns quiet in the 3rd period when Wings are in the lead and have the majority of possession.

That's what I mean. Keep this current 3rd line together.. hell, you could give Cleary more PK time. I rarely regret seeing him there. Though we have a plethora of great PKing top liners, that keeps them all the more rested for scoring goals. Damn, having a wealth of talent is such a *****!

Au contraire, they've had plenty of chances, just nothing's gone in. Their defensive work has been excellent (though this place would probably be on fire it wasn't.) Bottom lines have really been building off the momentum gained from the top lines work tonight.

Cleary-Draper-Malts with all 3 seeing their usual PK time and Cleary getting his usual amount of PP time? I'd bite, atleast for the first handful of games while he gets his conditioning back.

Something different I'm seeing tonight: The Wings are consistently playing where they need to be positionally in their own zone to let their goaltender do his job well.

Great shot by Hudler. On another note: Wow, Kopecky has been the sauce tonight. Using his size and driving the net(!) This line combo of flip hudler kopecky is really interesting.

Here, here!

Bad penalty to take with a couple of excitable officials on the ice.

Conks bailing us from a couple 2 on 1s with solid positioning.

Yea, horrible. But I'll take the PP.

Fortunately, harold, in our favor. That was a pretty blatant penalty so it would have been a rage inducing non call.

Was about to post something like that. They look really energetic together.

Sammy from Lebda?

Are the 2007-2008 Stanley Cup Champions! Wait... They're not? VS. and Pens board sure had me fooled.

And the Pittsburgh Penguins are the 07-08 Stanley Cup Champions! Oh, wait.. VS. fooled me.

...And the Devils miss the playoffs.

Oh, I see that Samuelsson missed! Wings score.

Tense game. Knew we'd have the shootout, though. Ozzie's usually solid when he's not over-relying on a teammate to get the defensive job done. And our shootout lineup is disgusting. Here's to hoping this is the beginning of a road series s...word.

And right as my post goes through. Thanks Flip XD Yum.

I don't see the Wings scoring another in this one. The chances and shots have been there but the bounces haven't. This has just been a very.. unlucky game. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Game is a 1 goal game, in the Wings favor, partly due to the Wings having to kill off atleast one 5 on 3. Quincey scores on us, or atleast assists on a goal. Atleast half of the goals (for the Kings) happen while Lebda is on the ice. People complain about Sammy throughout the game. Edit: Also, the Wings take atleast double the PIMs of the opposing team, but the homers among their fans still complain about the refs/Toronto/Bettman giving the Wings free games. That's my prediction, based on all the games played so far this season.

Lowering your head into a hit is bound to cause problems..
