2/4 GDT: Coyotes 4 at Red Wings 5

[Saran 1]

I thinks these lines are clicking way better.

With Hossa and Franzen on Flip's line, he has some snipers to use while he holds onto the puck to open things up.

Then Datsyuk and Zetterberg, are ... Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Plus Cleary does some of the dirty work.

Look at the PUCK CONTROL in their end! Now THAT is Red Wings Hockey!

Control the puck and only good things can happen to your team. These line combos look REAL good.

This game is definitely a step up from what we've been seeing.

So does anyone else think we should put Homer on the third line when he comes back to keep these top two lines intact and use Homer more-so on the PP than 5v5?

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

Thanks, dude.

Yahoo is streaming it free.

What can you say? Hank and Pavel were made for each other.

And Hossa is playing like a man possessed. And Helm, wow, I'm impressed with those wheels. He could easily be a 15-20 goals a year type grinder.

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

I say we come out and score 3 goals in the third period.

P.S. Is anyone else LOVING that Pittsburgh is falling like a brick in the standings? Down 3-0 to the Bolts of all teams tonight.

YES, YES, YES.

Thid The Kid better get it going.

I'd just replace Cleary with Homer. Nobody does it like Homer does. It definitely wouldn't be a DOWNgrade.

[BlueMonk 102]

John Keating is a f***in' moron! He asks Lids some stupid ass loaded question like "Is it Ozzie and Kronwall you guys are trying to get going tonight?" Like Lids is gonna throw his teammates under the bus like that on tv, what an idiot. Lids of course answers by saying it's the whole team that needs to step it up, etc, etc

I feel better.

He's embarrassing. That an elite organization like this would keep that clown on the payroll is hard to understand.

When the Tigers went to the WS in 2006, Keating was in the lockerroom for the celebrations after they clinched the wild card and won their two playoff rounds. In each case, the Tigers players left all the media types alone when it came to spraying champagne. All except Keating, who they ganged up on and doused with delight.

You may choose to believe that's because they affectionately love the good natured goofball. I prefer to believe it's because they can't stand him.

[AtomicPunk 296]

Also in other games, the Leafs only have 7 shots thru 2 vs. the Sabres. Easy night for Miller tonight.

I..........am not a big FAN...of John Keating.

Yep

10th (i think) in the east. There falling fast.

Yeah, I mean we all know Homer is the perfect 3rd link in that line.

The 2nd line looks perfect right now, and the 3rd isn't bad either, Helm is looking really good.

If we could just put in Abby and Helm on the 4th line, these lines would look quite good.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Guys. Hossa has to get another on. Then we get free sandwhiches.

Somewhat related: anybody get a kickass free breakfast at Denny's Tuesday? There were 100 people lined up around the building and it was 30 degrees out, but I'll be damned if I didn't get me some pancakes.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Haha, I don't think Trevor Thompson meant to leave it off like that.

"Marian Hossa has a pair."

Yes, Trevor. Yes he does.

Where would Cleary go, then? Maybe the third?

I wouldn't touch the second line right now. They've got mad chemistry going on. But I also would hate to see Cleary scratched.

[dallas27 7]

John Keating, Mickey York, even Larry Murphy are all cheesed***s

[Statts 4]

Agreed.

Homer keeps his office in front of the net on the 1st when he gets back. Cleary is just keeping it warm.

Yes, Trevor. Yes he does.

LOL. My dad actually burst out laughing when he said that.

Agree. It is not important we get a shutout or not. The level of playing hockey is very significant, I hope we can keep up stepping up the level of hockey.

I did not, since they tore down the Denny's here in Rochester But I heard the free Grand Slam breakfast was a huge hit around the country...

Yes, Trevor. Yes he does.

dammit, I want the Detroit feed!! That's priceless...

[titanium2 867]

So I just got back in time for the Hossa and Zetterberg goals. What have the lines been? What do people think of the lines? That Pav and Z goal really makes me think that they should never ever be apart.

[Lovin Jiri Fischer 147]

Come on Hossa I want that free Arby's roast beef sandwich!

Yes, Trevor. Yes he does.

Is that only locally?

Regardless if Hossa nets a 3rd ill try

[dat's sick 1,002]

Yeah, Cleary on the 3rd and Helm on the 4th is what I'd like to see.

Helm is good enough to be on a 2nd or 3rd line, but there's just not room.
