11/18 GDT: Red Wings 5, Columbus Blue Jackets 4 (SO)

I know...everytime I see your sig I am reminded.

I sort of assumed all of this thinking he'd be on the second line...not all weirdly demoted for no reason. He's still done well though. I hope Babs figures it all out and gets him to play more.

ERM, he also scored 2 shootout goals. I never said WHEN he had to score these 30 goals

5 goals,10 points isn't that bad.

He can still score 30+,even without the shootout goals. Without a doubt.

But if he seems to only get close,I might consider adding them into my little countdown.

You play Downey, you win the game! Nuff said

Theres a different energy when he plays, the guy is really is pretty damn entertaining to watch too. You can tell Mickey really loves him too. He better continue to play over Drake!

Is that why Downey sat the last 10 min. of the game + all OT and only played 4:33 total? Seems that the coaching staff doesn't share your high opinion of Downey. Apart from a couple of hits, he didn't do anything useful tonight. And he did takea bad penalty.

You must've missed when he drew the 5-on-3 that got us back in the game.

Are you kidding me. He only enabled that 5 on 3 (^ Detroit # 1 Fan) that kicked off the man Nick Lidstrom setting up back to back PP goals.

And you do realize that Downey is not the kind of guy you put in at the end of the game, right? That's not his role, not until he starts sporting some Zetterberg-ian skills... which he won't, because he's a grinder and fighter and agitator. Hence that two penalties he drew!

I sat closer to the Wings end, so I didn't see that it was Downey in that scrum. He drew the 2 min rough on Leclaire, but Shelly got his 2 min for delay of game, so that wasn't Downey. I like his energy, its justtoo bad that his skillis are not enough to be really useful. I'd love to have someone like a young Peca or Barnaby on the Wings, Downey just isn't quite talanted enough.

Shelly pushed the net over why? because of downey. he wouldnt of done it for fun now would he? no.

Downey/Drake/Kopecky make it happen.. Kopecky tends to play the style his linemates play with. So you know what this line will do. High Energy Line. No Offensive Production, but it'd be fun to watch.

Anyway. Im glad we won.

When is our next game? thanksgiving?
