Yep. Though Conacher bounced up pretty darn quickly. It's always the idiot penalties that get converted. Jimmy's positioning seemed a bit off on that one, though.

I'd also like to know who the "Hellum" guy they keep talking about is.

Buffalo feed saying Kronner gave Dagostini a head shot... no. Just, no. Confidence is good, but that can come back to bite them, I agree.

CBJ's just suck, and not in a fun way. Still, as long as the Wings take care if their business, there is nothing to worry about. Nice pressure there. Keep this going. Run it up boys.

Thanks for the quick recap.

Just got in and the sabres game is local market, that channel was listing boxing, had a heck of a time with the cable company getting the feed. I see we are up 3-0, what's the short version?

At this point, checking the standings on TSN, 93 points gets our guys a playoff spot if everyone else wins out. Each point left on the table by TOR, WAS, CBJ, and NJ will lower it. The win against BOS was huge, as most were writing the game off or hoping to steal a point. It isn't a lock yet to continue the streak, but it is looking pretty darn good at this point. As others have said, it is unfortunate they do top three seeds by division then wildcard as the way things are going, the boys would have had a shot at getting the 6 seed under the old system. That said, if they hold off CBJ and get the 7 seed, I like their chances. The emergence of the kid line is going to give the opposition d conniption fits if Z and Pav can come back healthy in the playoffs. Howie was back in form against Boston, and you can definitely make a case that he stole the game.

I think so, and with Pav drawing the first pair d-men, the kids will feast on it.

Hopefully, though Crosby might be concussed the way he went down from that linesman making the non-offsides call.

There we go. The one game everyone was conceding. Great job by the kids. Howard with a slew of average saves to keep them in it. I'd say he stole this one. Was Jurco's hit a rallying point (like Legwand's stick against Pittsburgh) and not just a selfish penalty? Showing some snarl is a good thing. If Pavel comes back in decent shape, and things keep going the way they have been, it could be a surprisingly nice postseason. The way the series has gone, maybe the Bruins don't want the Wings in the first.

Faceoff should be out of the zone. It went out off Erikson's stick

They have both had good games thus far. Bring it home guys!

Gotta win this and clear it. Let's Go Wings!

Watch for the empty net.

Nice stick by Franzen. Maybe the mule is coming back.

Good analogy, but Goose is better defensively by quite a bit, imho.

As do I. Get rid of Ass mode Franzen and bring back Mule mode. We will need him.

The boys are starting to believe in themselves. Howie standing tall (cue the Van Halen, you all should know which song by now). Keep the pressure and play smart. Let's Go Wings! Cue the lost boys too.

Don't let up. Play smart. Thank you Jimmy Howard for giving them the chance. Finish it. Let's Go Wings!

Goose!!!

If Franzen competed like Tatar...

If the Wings pull this out, Olczyk may cry.

Keep it rolling guys! Heck of a kick pass by Tatar.

Tie game! Subtle interference on the scoreboard by Jurco!

This. It's closer than most expected, the boys still have a chance halfway through the third. Let's Go Wings!
