Hockeytown Red Wings

I'm not mad, I'm just really disappointed. Hell, even Lidstrom was terrible today. No one's skating for pucks, constant turnovers in the neutral zone, if we're lucky enough to get out of our zone. No one can handle the puck or make a pass. I'll be at Game 4, and I will make a scene if they ruin my journey with another performance like that.

Empty netter and game....Bruins.

Someone keep me updated. Roommate has commandeered the TV for the Cavs game. Nevermind, I'll just use the stream. I'm a little slow on Saturday afternoons after Wings victories.

Sabres re-take the lead 3-2....Sabres woke back up.

Congrats on the soon to be world's newest Buckeye! I agree its probably best not to scar your newborn by looking like a West Virginian mountain man.

Holy s***....I just realized Aflac did a GDT....good times.

LOL Nice stop Flower! 1-0 Sens....18 seconds in.

Dayman! Aooohhhhhhhhohhhhhhhhhhhh! Fighter of the Nightman! Aoooooooooohhhhhhohhhhhhhhhh!! Champion of the sun! And I laughed my ass off last night watching this.

Freakin Sammy....

I've said, "I miss Sammy", at least three times tonight. Never thought I'd say that.

Exactly. Being physical doesn't affect the Wings as much as the MSM likes to believe. If anything, it gives us a few more powerplays. It's when the Wings cant get to the inside lanes that we're in trouble. Like last night...

Haha, I know exactly what you're talking about. Been awhile since I've seen you around. Then again, I'm a lurker anymore too.

Caps and Habs going to OT, Sabres about to put away the Bruins.

Habs are giving the Caps more trouble than I expected. Still thinking Washington has too much power, but if the Habs can take it back to Montreal 1-1, it could get interesting. Remember the Rangers had the Caps down 3-1 in the first round last season. Habs going to a PP with 26 seconds left in regulation....

Caps tie it....Corvo looks like.

Halak is standing up pretty well so far..

I never liked it either but we needed goals and he was the best "goal scorer" left for the money. That said, he appears to be a second line AHL-er at best this season.

I agree, especially about the faceoffs. At least two of those PP goals against could have been prevented by winning a faceoff.

The 4th line was so bad last night I actually found myself wishing that Maltby was playing.

Didn't read that far down. Cool.

Fantastic! If nothing else, we're sure to get more energy out there. Who takes over the point on PP2? Stuart or Big E? I'd go with Stuart.

It's just one game. One game that we most definitely threw away. I thought Jimmy was pretty solid overall. Could've had the 3rd goal but it seems to be more of a symptom of the PK than the goalkeeping. I've let my thoughts on Williams be known in another thread. Brad Stuary likely has the most consistently hard shot on the team, and yet Willy gets the point on the powerplay. If it were me, Abdelkader would be in for Game 2, but Babs isn't likely to mess with the forward units and PP after one game. The Wings played pretty well to start out with, but twoards the end they just settled for shots from the perimeter that weren't getting traffic in front of the net. The Coyotes clogged up the middle and we're just going to have to find a way around that. We've played the Coyotes twice before, and it's went 6 each times. And no series is over until the home team loses a game, unless it's Game 7 of course.

Not to mention, Stuart has an absolute bomb. Even if he doesnt hit the net, maybe he can bruise up some Coyotes who are blocking shots and open the lanes up a bit. Williams will stay in, and he'll probably score, and then a lot of people will rush to this thread and call everyone an idiot. But I think most of us can agree on a night to night basis, Willy is just useless. I didn't like the signing to begin with, but I guess he was the best available "goal scorer" for the money.

But what would happen to our second PP unit without Williams on the point?! /sarcasm

Haven't heard a thing. I got a feeling that when they do hire someone, I'll respond with, "Who?".
