Bad turnovers here...

Ugh... Bad breakdown on the turnover lead to that. Good initial save, but there's zero chance that rebound doesn't end up in the back of the net...

Game on!

Love the "May I Take Your Order, Sir" look by Ohlund there... Lol.

Much, Much, MUCH better 2nd period for us there.

Agreed. The special teams have been crisp, and even strength they're starting to skate and win the battles like we all know they can.

Wow... This game has the grit and intensity of a playoff game written all over it...

I think we're going on the PP after that scrum...

OZZZIEEE!!!! WOW, the Canucks players had their hands in the air and EVERYTHING!!!!

HAHA!!!! CLEARS!!! I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW!!!

PK's looked GREAT so far. Vancouver hasn't had a chance to get set up yet...

Tripping on Cleary. PK for Detroit.

RAFF!!! Nice cycling on the PP!

PP from that scrum!

TSN talking with Fisch about the similarities and differences between his collapse and Cherepanov's.

Well... 2 bad bounces and we're down 2-1. Can't blame the bounces, as that happens, but we're still not looking as crisp as we have in the past. Too early to panic, though.

PK again...

Ouch. Bad bounce, and it's in.

Meh... I'm so so on Raffy's penalty. Yeah, he's guilty of it, no doubt. But if the ref made the right call, the penalty wouldn't have happened at all...

That's in.

Chance to be right back into it here.

Oy vey, I stand corrected. 2 seasons as the Cougars, and a handfull of games from 91-92.

Laces on the Wings jersey now? Detroit has never had laces on their jerseys, so again, no need to change. Adding laces to a Wings jersey, even if it is a 3rd/Alternate, or even if you think it adds heritage, is just be an attempt to force a tradition where one doesn't exist. Laces on the sweater was always a Rangers and Habs thing.

Why? The Wings have never had an alternate or third jersey, save for the 91-92 season when the NHL mandated that all O6 teams wear throwback jerseys to celebrate the league's 75th anniversary. What does it tell you, that in the 12 seasons that 3rd jerseys have been in the league, the Wings and the Devils are the ONLY teams to have never worn a third or alternate jersey? And I'm sorry, but that link provided for the suggested third jersey or alternate logos for the Wings? Anyone who thinks that THIS abomination would be a good way to "upgrade" the Wings' current logo cannot be taken seriously... I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. :puke: That jersey was not even REALLY a Red Wings jersey. The "Candy Cane" jersey that you're reffering to was actually worn by the Detroit Cougars for a resounding ONE TWO SEASONS, 1927-1928 & 1929-1930. It was used as the league-mandated throwback jersey for the Wings for the 91-92 season, so at MOST it has 3 years of "tradition" and "heritage" going for it.

Conks has been GREAT when called upon tonight! Great job to read the play!
