11/24 GDT: Red Wings 2 @ Canucks 3 (OT)

[thedatsyukian 7]

Kopecky is a waste anywhere but cemented in front of the net or on a bottom line. Hes not good enough at carrying or passing the puck and has screwed up more than a few chances on the big line. Our offensive has been way too discombobulated to accomplish much of anything this game.

Agree completely.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Good period again for the Red Wings. They'll break through in the third.

One player that hasn't impressed me at all lately is Val Filppula. He is basically non-existent on offense anymore.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Yeah Edi,don't give anything up.

Det # 1 Fan's reading the book first.

Oh Fin, you know me too well. I really wanted to finish the book after the game, and go see it tommorow.

(Yeah, nooooo.)

[edicius 3,269]

I WANT A LILJA GOAL.

That is all.

[Uncle Danny 155]

MTU -- just noticed your name and post. My little brother is a junior at your school right now. Know any kids named Nathan?

Back on topic: I predict Vancouver goes up by one, but the Wings battle back with a 3rd period Z goal and a SO winner by Dats.

He makes great moves all the time but never seems to produce any results. Not sure what the deal is.

I like the news that Claude Lemieux is trying to make a comeback with the sharks, maybe him and Mac can get in a scrum if he makes it. It would be like watching two old men in walkers going at it.

Yes, but the moves never lead to any scoring chances.

Is it weird that I'm wearing Wings track pants and a Sox 2K7 champs shirt right now? Blending sports and all.

Andreas would be their best slugger if he wasn't so busy demolishing the opposition on the ice. His one-handed swing strikes fear into the hearts of pitchers far and wide.

With the way Lilja has been, I wouldn't be surprised if he scored one in the 4rd.

[FinRedWing 172]

Yes, but the moves never lead to any scoring chances.

Didn't he give a great pass to Hudler in the 1st?

It just isn't bouncing for him at the moment,he'll get there.

He'd be like Jose Canseco, minus the drugs. Lilja drives himself crazy enough without that tom foolery.

Speak of the devil, Lilja getting interviewed on Sportsnet .

Lilja: "let's just get back out there and run over them."

[The Mule 0]

Just checking in mid-game. Not a great effort so far, but not terrible either. Here's to hoping the Wings will come out flying in the third and take control of this game. Also, I'm sure both have already been mentioned, but what a save by Ozzie earlier in the game, and what a terrible, terrible giveaway by Hudler that led to the Canucks goal.

I'll check in again after the game. Lets do this, boys.

Lilja: "let's just get back out there and run over them."

My thoughts exactly!

Filppula makes nice plays, but the production is lacking right now. I wouldn't mind Babcock giving Filppula a chance with Pavel and Hossa to see what happens.

He's been up there in the past couple of games since Homer's been out. I can't say he was any more effective than Kopecky up there.

[FinRedWing 172]

I bet Mindfly's disappointed in his sleep.

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

Would it be bad to say that I saw it yesterday? And didn't think it was half bad, though a bit overdone on the "majestically romantic low-dialogue" scenes?

(Okay, my wife dragged me, but it was better than I expected!)

LOL... is it sad that I have seen it 3 times and it has only been out since Friday?

Anyways, back to some hockey. Start of the third.

Big Papi and Pain Train? Dude, that would be awesomeness overload.

GWG for Lilja in the 4rd.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Someone needs to explain to Vancouver fans when taunting the opposing goalie it makes more sense to do it during actual game play rather than starting and stopping the chant inbetween a stoppage.

At least they can get a good Goalie Taunt going. How often do you hear that at the Joe? Everyone needs a good goalie taunt once and a while.
