Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 yes, he did credit Flip. Lils said he was surprised to have so much time, and when asked if he thought about the fact that Nabby is weak on the glove side, he laughed and said, "yeah, right, I am such a goal scorer... " He was just happy to have the chance, I think. Haha! Nice reply by Lilja! Downey in another fight. Crowd will like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Downey is a ******* awesome guy, patting the refs on the back, giving them the pound. I love him, and not only thta, gives us some momentum AND a powerplay, but somehow, someone is gonna say a negative thing about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 By the rules, Davison should get the instigator on that one since he dropped the gloves first. And it sounds like that's what's up on the board. 2 for holding, five for fighting (Davison), five for fighting, Downey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terri27 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Davison is expendable. SJ is getting desperate for any kind of spark... I think it gave the Wings a spark, they got the PP to work with now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nabby just saved their butts for them... that should have been 3-0 from Huddie. Has Ozzie died of boredom down there yet, with three whole shots? Welcome to Dom's world, hon...

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 I hate to say this, but I am really warming up to Downey. He definitely knows his role and is good at it. But it cracks me up how some guys here are so happy to see anyone in a Wings sweater drop the gloves that they've become puckbunnies for Downey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Watching Kronwall on D (and this isn't a knock on Kronwall), he made a safe play throwing the puck up ice off the far boards. It made me realize how rarely I see Lidstrom do something like that. He makes the right play, but he also makes the play that allows the Wings to maintain puck possession. It's a subtle but remarkable thing. It never dawned on me before what a major factor he is in the Wings puck possession game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 this is kind of absurd (in a good way...). The Sharks are not this bad of a team, to offer zero challenge, on any level. Nabby's the only reason they are not totally embarrassed tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 We have tried the home run pass about 15 times tonight, how many more times before we get a breakaway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Looking at the shot totals, I'm once again dumbfounded. Only six SOG for the Sharks? How is that possible? Ozzie's made more saves than that, this period alone. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 PP upcoming. I hate to admit it, but the penalty calls are really skewed against San Jose tonight. However, they appear to be legit calls and it's not an endless parade to the box. Hell, our only penalty so far (knock on wood) is Downey's fighting major.

Ozzie's made more saves than that, this period alone. Weird. Happens to Dom all the time. Hence the low sv%age. No way to recoup, if you even get one behind you. Also helps when there are not a billion penalties to kill as has been the case in most games so far. The Wings can shoot at will, since it's the Sharks on the PK this game. Like I said, they're not that bad, seems unreal that they will generate nothing tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
