Apparently Ericsson wasn't paying attention in P2: shoot the puck towards the net and hope for a good bounce. Instead of shooting, he passes .

HANK!!! 3-2 Flyers on the PP. Off of the mask!

Flyers hit with a goalie interference penalty. 4v4. Leino got pushed into Ozzie, but still called for GI.

Ozzie hit with playing the puck out of the trapazoid. Delay of game. s*** rule, but gotta follow it.

And now the Wings are playing better in front of Ozzie. Wings just needed that spark to get them going.

Stuart takes a puck to the back of the head and is down on the ice. He's moving, but he'll be feeling that one for a while. EDIT: He got off the ice under his own power and appears to be otherwise fine other than a cut.

Thanks, Edi, now I'm hungry

And if Plan B doesn't work, well, Murph, you'll have to make a sacrifice for the good of the Wings, so hand over that hot dog of yours.

Gotta shake the team up somehow, and the goalie is usually the easiest to do something with. FLIPPER f***ERS!!! 3-1 Flyers right now, but the Wings' score early!

4rd on! Time for that come back! Ozzie in net now!

A bit amazing that no penalties were called in P2. Not sure to take it as a good sign or not, but at least they didn't call s***ty/chincy ones.

Once if it's digital.

Looks like you might have to get your drink on to get the team going . SOG are 23-20 Flyers so far.

3-0 Flyers. Hartnell scores it.

Looks like Miller is back on the bench. Probably checked/reworked his skates.

Miller down to the Wings' dressing room after crashing into the net trying to crash the net.

When there's bodies in front of the Flyers' goal, it get blocked. When there are bodies in front of the Wings' goal, it gets deflected off of half the team, six fans and Murph's hot dog before going into the net. Just don't seem to be getting the lucky bounces tonight.

2-0 Flyers. Howie outwaited one shooter, but got burned on THREE deflections afterwards.

P2 on! EDIT: ... 1-0 Flyers.

Our 5v3 PPs suck ass exhaust. Now a short 4v4 for 25s, then a Wings PK.

Wings PP! Take advantage of it here guys! EDIT: Helm walked down to the dressing room before the PP started. Not sure what happened. Maybe skate issue? Wings 5v3 after DoG against Flyers!

Game on! Get on them early and don't let up (and don't let in anymore goals off a defensive zone faceoff)!

So true, unfortunately. Happy New Year everyone! Stay safe out there all!

Looking back on the Wings' last 10 games, there's one glaring thing about them: 8 of them had the Wings giving 3 or more goals. Games where the Wings give up 3 goals: 12/27 against COL (W) 12/29 against DAL (W) Games where the Wings give up 4 goals: 12/17 against CHI (L) 12/19 against DAL (L) 12/22 against VAN (W) 12/23 against STL (L) 12/31 against NYI (L) Game where the Wings give up 5 goals: 12/13 against LAK (L) Here's the goalies where they give up 3 or more goals: Howard 12/13 against LAK: 5-0 loss 12/17 against CHI: 1-4 loss 12/22 against VAN: 4-5 win (OT) 12/29 against DAL: 7-3 win 12/31 against NYI: 4-3 loss (OT) Osgood 12/19 against DAL: 4-3 loss (OT) 12/23 against STL: 4-3 loss 12/27 against COL: 4-3 win (OT) Last 5 games for both goalies: Howard: 12/17 against CHI: 1-4 L 12/22 against VAN: 4-5 (OT) W 12/26 against MIN: 4-1 W 12/29 against DAL: 7-3 W 12/31 against NYI: 4-3 (OT) L Osgood: 12/04 against LAK: 2-3 (OT) L 12/11 against NJD: 4-1 W 12/19 against DAL: 4-3 (OT) L 12/23 against STL: 3-4 L 12/27 against COL: 4-3 W Same number of games where 3 or more goals are scored against the goalies. Guys, don't you think that, maybe, just maybe, the defense isn't doing it's job? It's one thing to say Howie or Ozzie sucks when it's just that one goalie, but that isn't the case. Again, it looks like the offense is going to have to score 4 or more goals to win games now .
