1/27 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Blue Jackets 3 (OT)

[digitaljohn88 4]

ugly bounces and all of our top players out

when's the next game

[Electrophile 3,554]

This was sub-optimal, boys. Truly sub-optimal. Boo. However, we were missing 3 of our star and key players, so the fact we got a point is at least a small positive.

[dat's sick 1,002]

Crap. But considering we had our three biggest players gone for most of the game we should be pretty happy with a point.

Hope things aren't too bad with Z and he can be back in a game or two.

[Guest mindfly]

And osgood with another 3goals against

f*** this game anyway the 3best players of the team and top10 in the league was out so...not much to do

[adtthosa 5]

Good effort, not too many teams will win without their three best players.

Let's hope this lost point won't mean anything in 3 months.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

If you would have told me that the Wings would be without Dats and lids and then lose Zetterberg after the 1st and STILL get a point when Rick Nash has a hat trick I'd be thrilled.

Watch out for Columbus.

[RusDRW 155]

at least we've one point out of this... and we were not that bad without Dats, Zeta, Lids, Stuart.

[wingfan1991 221]

let me guess...not Ozzie's fault??

a huge YUP! he's absolutely garbage as always this year.

[Sgt. Angry 23]

Well, so much for the Wings coming out pissed off and hitting because of the Lids - Pavs BS! Once again the Wings are the ones getting hurt. I'd sure like to see the Wings dishing out the injuries to the other teams for a change.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

a huge YUP! he's absolutely garbage as always this year.

because, you know, all bad bounces and lucky deflections are Ozzie's fault.

Holy hell what horrible fans infest this board sometimes.

[Electrophile 3,554]

a huge YUP! he's absolutely garbage as always this year.

"Absolutely garbage as always"? ROFL.

[kozac 10]

Oh well, good for the Jackets, exciting game for their fans, their best player with a monster game!

[C-TownWing 0]

For realsies. I'll take the point under those circumstances, and considering it's the game Columbus was circling as the beginning of their playoff push.

Can't wait until Burkie poaches Nash to TO though. Get him out of our division/conference.

[digitaljohn88 4]

wtf to those blaming the goalie AS ******* ALWAYS

1. clear breakaway against one of the top scorers in the league

2. bounce off teammate

3. bounce off teammate stuffed by nash

TEAM LOSS

Good thing we're getting Lids and Dats back right away, hopefully Zetterberg is alright.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

lol, that goal was as much Ozzies fault as Talbots in Game 5. A bouncing puck off your own defenceman, on a bad read by the players ANYWAY, and your blaming the goalie. Wow. Our defensive coverage is horrid, embarrasing, players coming into our zone get easy entry, and get good shots, every time. No great goalie can stop it all himself, and Osgood is not a great goalie. Besides, it's a meaningless game against Columbus, no need to get hung up over it.

[Guest DetroitBoy313]

And osgood with another 3goals against wink.gif

I'm sorry but if you credit this loss to Ozzy,you're on f***in crack! I don't know about the 3rd goal because I was soo pissed I turned it off right after that but the first two goals were absolutely NOT his fault.Whatever,Columbus barely beat us with 3 of our best players out "LITERALLY OUR BEST PLAYERS".

Ozzie, unlike the SJ game, made some key saves this time. He showed up big for the Wings when we needed him.

At least one of those goals (I didn't watch the replays of the others) really wasn't his fault. It was deflected in.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

Can't wait until Burkie poaches Nash to TO though. Get him out of our division/conference.

Somehow I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon....

Did you not notice the smiley? Irony my friend...

[wingfan1991 221]

lol at the guys that stick up for ozzie.. i mean do you watch the games this year? the guy reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks! call it bad bounces or bad luck (every game he plays) if that makes you happy with him in net, but I for one cringe whenever the other team is in our zone (whether its columbus or sj).

good night!

Spoken like a true Wings fan.

Of course he gives up his fair share, but a deflection off of Raffi's stick and that's Ozzie's fault?

A breakaway caused by a horrific pass to one of the better breakaway scorers in the NHL is Ozzie's fault?

good night!

Good riddance.

THIS loss was not Osgood's fault...

Edit: what the hell happened to my Penn gif. That thing is gold.

I'm really pissed that the game didn't get to the shootout, because I was wondering who Babcock would pull out of the hat to do the shooting. I assume that Hudler would have been one, but who would the other two have been?

I am not gonna be disappointed by today's game. We played pretty good in the beginning of the period to middle in the 1st period. We almost looked we would destroy Columbus. After Hank got hurt and did not come back, that was probably the time that we began to look lost and do not know what to do.

First, we did not have Zetterberg,Datsyuk,and Lidstrom who are totally 3 the most important players in our team. And I don't think we played super bad except for the 2nd period but we really need to work on some defenses.

And I saw some people here criticize Osgood tonight. I don't know which game those guys were watching but Ozzie was pretty good tonight. Like the 2nd goal deflection and 3rd goal, which was I don't even though what happened in front of the net, but those are not Osgood's fault.

I think we will be back on our track on thursday against the Stars. Lids and Datsyuk will be back. I don't know about Zetterberg and Stuart but hopefully they will be too.

Hey, and I saw the stats of Jimmy Howard during the game that how well he has been playing last 26 games. 2.40 GAA. I think it will be good if we at least give either Howard or Larsson to play on game if they are not injured or in some troubles.
