DeKeyser with a huge game so far.

Thats a stupid penalty to take. Flip just got us a break.

1st one was a tip in from a shot of Quincy, the second one a backhand (?) from the slot on a PP after Helm passed it from the left side.

And down goes Brown......

Dats. Now, that is a start.

Not bad. If you'd offered me a tie after the first five minutes I'd taken it. And Datsyuk is in beastmode. Love it.

Mrazek ! Huge save !

What do they expect Dats to do ? Use his wizardry to become air ?

Shoot it Z !!

Why ? Just why ?

Bunghole time !

Almost Lidstrom-like.

WOOOOOOOO. Also my GCL is lagging awfully behind.

Jep, we definitely have to answer the bell. It's not the Bruins we are playing here.

Did we just had three players around the puck and didn't get it out or even control of it ?

It looks like our usual first-ten-minute-sucking. It will be better in a few minutes.

It's not very subtle if you ask me. Mrazek with a good start, that was important.

Playoff hockey !!!

Probably Wild against Blues after our game is over.

Go WINGS ! Make those writers look like fools !

I was about to post the same thing. They're not even three minutes in.

The injured is hardly the right one to judge how long a sentence should be. Camerons threats made handing out a suspension very unlikely. We also talk about a star like P.K. Subban being suspended for a slash during a playoff game for which he already was ejected in the game. No chance, and I also don't think his slash was worth a suspension. The game misconduct was the right call here. Talking about to punish the action, not the result.

In the playoffs every game is a must-win game.

Roughly two hours away and no one posted him yet : Lead us to victory, YFMB !

It's finally here. Just shaved my face for the last time in weeks (I hope). As I always remark at the start of a playoff series : It's not a problem to loose an away game, it's a problem if you loose all. A win tonight would be huge, but as long as the Wings fight tooth and nails out there I'll be satisfied with whatever the outcome is. I think our key-player (besides Mrazek, of course) is Stephen Weiss. If he gets going, we have enough scoring depth to be a real threat, even for an offensive powerhouse like Tampa. And to none of the writers picking us : I remember a certain series a few years ago against the Ducks where no one picked us either. Reminder : We won it in 7.
