Heroes of Hockeytown

What a ******* injustice, awful ******* call from a worthless little runt of a man, and this. Eat s*** and die, Tootoo.

Goddamnit, just didn't get the puck high enough.

My heart sinks when I look up and see that big lanky 82 with the puck, knowing that nothing positive could possibly happen with it.

It pains me to watch Lebda try and play defense.

Whooooa Dano What moves by Hudler to set it up and then Dano with the speed!

Good work down low by Hank and Co., but no goal.

That jackass has scored on the Wings more than any other Pred in the last few years, I swear to god.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU GUYS :(

Time to watch the Wings coast through another season game. I will be disappointed if it isn't a one goal game.

Til we meet again...

Here's to another strong win... If they keep it below 3 GA I'll be happy.

The only thing left to be determined after such a triumph is where the Wings will go from here... Will it breathe new life into a listless team going through the motions, or will they be satisfied with having reasserted their dominance and continue to coast?

I think all that needs to be said's been said. Let's f***in' go Red Wings!

Five pages on this? Much ado about nothing. The article in question doesn't provide any statistics or even quotes, and is clearly just some guy's opinion. I'm sure if you did talk to the team about they'd say all kinds of nice things about Shelley and this that or the other, but let's be real here. There isn't any correlation between fighting and winning. It has its place in the game, but it's without a doubt the smallest and easily omitted cog in a successful hockey club. So as not to be misunderstood, I wouldn't even be against bringing Downey back into the line up... Change for change's sake is good, and even if fighting is arguably the least important aspect of team's game, it still has its significance and importance and there are times when it shouldn't be overlooked. While much more is amiss with the Wings than a lack of enforcer, there's no harm that can come of inserting one onto the fourth line for the time being.

Only in America can two people disagree with each other.

As you might expect he wasn't out there too much, 10:27 for the whole tilt. For that time, though, he played well. He battled and didn't make any errors that stuck in my mind. Just good solid hockey -- for ten minutes, anyways.

Well... you can say what you want about whether or not the Wings deserve the win... But Ozzie sure deserved the W. He had a helluva game.

A beauty. Juuuuust out-waited Bryz.

Ozzie put the stick down. Great save.

Wow, easy mode.

Pavel's patented move doesn't click tonight... and a nice shot past Oz.

So close. Sigh @ shootouts.

Myeeeewwwwllll

One last gasp...

For. f***'s. Sake.
