  1. Damn I can't believe I missed overtime, my dad texted me and was freaking out when they scored. Which in turn made me start freaking out. I saw all the regulation periods and the boys looked great tonight. Definitely put their hearts into this game. If they can play like that on Wednesday i'll be one happy camper. Jimmy played great too, he was due for a good game, I could tell he's been struggling lately. I'm glad he got a good win under his belt for this series... Now unleash Toots already
  2. It's calls like that that ruin the entire game of hockey. Makes me sick. The league is run by a bunch of crosby's. NHL. No. Hitting. League.

    Brian Lashoff to take Dekeyser's place in game 3

    Lashoff was dressed at the game last night. So was Samuelsson. My vote goes to Lashoff for game 3. Losing Danny D is a kick in the balls though
  4. Not bad surprisingly. Way better than the last time I visited that place. The guy sitting next to us was really cool and he was just happy to see a good game overall. No d bags this time
  5. Welp. Just left the Honda center. My voice is shot. My review, they looked better. Took advantage of the ducks mistakes early on and have themselves a nice lead. Jimmy definitely didn't play his best game. But the team looked good. Still could be better, definitely gotta work on exiting their own zone. The passes were there for the most part and Pavel played one hell of a defensive game, he had some pretty big hits too that I was jumping out of my seat for. My dad and my cousin were with me. As well as two other wings fans next to us, but other than that we were surrounded by orange. I was about to have a heart attack by the time the third period expired I knew they had to make something happen on hat power play at the start of OT. If the ducks had killed off that penalty then I think the wings would've been in trouble. But as soon as I saw Goose move in and I saw the net fly back after he released the shot I was screaming like a school girl hugging my new drunken friends next to us and jumping like a lunatic. Honestly the most fun I've ever had at a hockey game. Definitely a night ill never forget. If they can carry this momentum over into hockey town for the next few games then I think they can put the ducks away. Now I begin my three hour drive back home and get to wake up for work in the morning. But I wouldn't trade a single second. Now I understand those "because it's the cup" commercials there's nothing like watching a playoff hockey game live. No other sport compares to it
  6. I might have to grab a few Ducks jerseys while i'm there actually. We're almost out of toilet paper at my house
  7. Please don't lose this one Wings. I really don't want to have to walk out of the Honda center hanging my head tomorrow.

    Zetterberg's Future

    I think it's safe to say Hank will be wearing the C until he retires. After that I'd like to see Helm wear the badge for a while
  9. Well, it was a disappointing game. I was hoping the team from last week would show up and play. I'm hoping this isn't the same story on Thursday because I'm actually going to that game. My first NHL playoff game and I hope to god they don't lose, or that I don't have to knock out a Ducks fan. Last time I was there to see a game the Wings got shut out and it was pathetic. Plus I got stuck in the middle of the most annoying fans on the planet, I was ready to drop kick the guy behind me. PLEASE DONT LOSE ON THURSDAY WINGS. PLEASEEE
  10. jebus christ I just got home and the stupid blackhawks are hogging the station. Does anyone have a stream?

    WCQF: (7) Red Wings vs. (2) Ducks

    I couldn't be happier. I live out in CA about 2 hours from Anaheim, so that means im snagging tickets to either game 1 or 2 asap. Are any of you guys gonna be at the games there? I didn't get a chance to see them in the regular season, and i've never been to a playoff game so I figure this is my best chance. The way they've been playing I honestly think they could beat just about any team right now. If they keep this hot streak going and dont mess with the lines then I can see a lot of good things to come in the next few weeks. But for now, let's just celebrate our Wings continuing the greatest streak in any major sport at the moment.

    4/25 GDT: Predators 2 @ Red Wings 5

    It's playoff races like this that really make you wish the Wings would have just won a few of those extra giveaway games they played earlier in the year. So many games they could have won to avoid this all. But oh well, they've been hittin the juice this week it looks like. Finally scoring some goals. Let's all hope that trend continues on.

    4/24 GDT: Kings 1 @ Red Wings 3

    That was a damn exciting game. Eaves and Nyquist impressed me the most I think, they were firing shots all night long. Tootoo got a few good hits and one hell of a deflection as well. Exciting all around. Let's hope this momentum carries over into tomorrows game, and that Columbus gets crushed tomorrow

    NBC Highlight packages/commentary from 4/22

    It might be in this video, I'm at work so I can't watch through and check but this would be your best bet. This guy has a whole youtube channel dedicated to Red Wings highlights.

    Dan Dekeyser Watch

    Seems like he gets better every game. He's easily their best new signing in the past few years

    4/17 GDT: Red Wings 2 @ Flames 3

    This game could pretty much summarize the entire season this team has had

    4/17 GDT: Red Wings 2 @ Flames 3

    Pretty back and forth so far. Hanks moving pretty good tonight. I'll be surprised if he doesn't end up with a point or two

    GDT 4/15: Red Wings 3 @ Predators 0

    I thoroughly enjoyed watching this game, they had control the entire 2nd and 3rd periods. Everybody was contributing and making good decisions. I was hoping Toots would get another goal against his former team but oh well, Dekeyser getting his first NHL point is just as cool. Jimmy played lights out as well, all around good game. The games I actually get to watch on TV never end up this well. It's a miracle

    Why do you cheer for the Red Wings?

    I started watching the Wings back in the mid nineties. Stevie was always my favorite player. Living in Cali kind of limited my options of getting to see them play live but I luckily got to go to a few games in Anaheim and watch them wipe the floor with the Ducks. Those were the good ol' days. Let this feed some nostalgia for you all
  22. Maybe it's just me, but I thought the alumni jerseys looked better. I'd rather buy one of those but I don't know if they'll even be selling them.

    Helm might be out for season

    Hopefully he's back to full strength next year, he's one of my favorite players to watch. I'd love to see him on a line with Tootoo on his wing. I can't even imagine how badly they could frustrate other teams.

    Blinktd89 - I play quite a bit of NHL 13, i'm no good online but it's still addicting as hell. As well as the usual stuff, Black Ops 2 and such

    4/7 GDT : Blues 1 at Red Wings 0

    I don't understand why they aren't playing Tootoo regularly, especially for hard fought games like this. They scratch their one guy that actually plays with grit? He has twice the amount of hustle as any other given player on this team right now
