12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

[Guest Crymson]

Hossa WHAT THE HECK?

... win though!

He scored a nasty one on Brodeur that way. Quick flick of the wrist.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

This sort of thing worries me. We're conditioning ourselves to think that we can pull out 2 points with only 15 minutes of effort.

Where's that Hawks poster that was here earlier in the night?

[Guest mindfly]

Wings didnt deserve to win this one, they played bad for like 80% of the game... they need these wake up calls... but appears like wings are just too damn good so they win even if they play like s***

[RockyMountainWingGal 108]

Nice SO win! 3-0 in December - going to just go with it and not complain about the details. Beat 3 good teams too....

[Guest Crymson]

Welp, now I'm just praying maybe this is the game to light that fire!!!

Maybe this is the Yzerman speach of the past. The Avalanche brawl/OT winner of the past.

We need SOMETHING like that to pump us up. Lets pray maybe this is it!

With our pathetic record right now, we're surely screwed otherwise.

Seriously though, yes, it would be nice if we'd see 100% effort every game.

Haha....love Pasha. Trevor asks him why he hasn't been shooting more and he says that his linemates were yelling at him, so he changed his mind.

[I Red Wings I 40]

The no faith crowd missed a great game lol.

Hossa WHAT THE HECK?

... win though!

He's got a cocky swagger to him. And ya know what... it's BEAUTIFUL! Seriously, this same old humble type of hockey is getting old.

I love to see the excitement. Ever watch Sid and Geno how they score and slam the boards, how they get the crowd pumped and get into it?

That's exactly how Hossa is and it's great!!! We need more guys like it on the team.

I'm not saying we need to turn it into Football where guys are just stupid everytime they make a decent play. That's obnoxious.

But to see Hossa show his swagger when he scores, etc. It's great!

[Z and D for the C 712]

Haha, I love pavel.

[VM1138 1,921]

Wow, that was one of the more unintelligible interviews with Datsyuk I've ever seen.

[Guest Crymson]

Cleary has 2G/2A in the last two games.

Yep, agreed. They're going to be scary if they start really clicking on all cylinders. Hopefully, it happens soon.

[T.Low 1,011]

Its damn near time to put together a Datsyuk Hits Highlight video! He must be talking to Ovechkin a lot these days or something.

Don't be a dick. Seriously.

Did I say anything about our record. Look thru all my past posts on this forum, I've never pushed the panic button on this season.

We can play like this all season and enter the playoffs in the number 2 or 3 spot. We're not making it out of the first round though.

They need a fire lit under their ass and that is ALL I said.

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

Well, they found a way to win. Wasn't pretty yet again, now to look ahead to better play the next game.

This is true, Hossa's turned to one of my favourites on the wings VERY easily, he keeps getting key goals in the third. He shows the most effort on the Wings from what i've seen, and I love the passion for the game.

But still, score please? don't rely on the shaky goalie.... (mind you solid tonight in the second half)

[Yak19 303]

Conkquerer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That blown 2-0 lead is forgotten, winning does cure all.

HOSSA is a monster on that ice.

Best part about this win is no Blackhawks trolls on LGW.

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would be right about that. But it's also pretty ridiculous to write off a team's playoff chances in December, no matter how bad they're playing now.

SO no one knows why we wore white?

[Guest mindfly]

One player who was absolutely brutal tonight though was samuelsson, waaaay out of sync in every play, tons of missed shots, blocked shots, horrible stick-handling, bad defensive play, wrong descisions, can't hold on to the puck, tryin to act "tough-guy" but fails EPIC.

I'm not even asking for 100%, but 75% would be nice. This team played well for the first 5 minutes and the last 10. Thats a mere 25% of the game. This is looking like its becoming a habit too.

No I'm not though. I guess I should've said if they CONSISTENTLY continue to play like this all season and in the playoffs, they won't make it out of the first round. I'm just saying, the way they're playing now isn't gonna cut it. Not the Defense and not the Goalies. Something has to change before playoff time. That's really all I was saying.

[Nev 1,085]

Aaaand the Wings get away with it again.

To quote The Game "Calisse, mad when we lose, mad when we win!"

[HOCKEY MATTERS 167]

SO no one knows why we wore white?

Didn't hear anything on the pregame, but I know red used to be road and home used to be white. Maybe it's a retro thing?
