WCQF GAME 1 GDT: Blue Jackets 1 at Red Wings 4

[Guest Shoreline]

Lidström played only 21:40

*JAWDROPPIN'*

Terrible game. Sucks ass. Can't win the cup with Lids playing 21:40.

Lidström played only 21:40

*JAWDROPPIN'*

Gotta keep it down for a long run.

[Yak19 303]

Yes they played DRW hockey and i couldn't be happier,

PLAYOFF OSGOOD WAS PLAYOFF OSGOOD and the star of the show....... nice.

3rd line was crazy good tonight, Datsyuk was physical and we owned the hits category overall.

:octo:

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

[Electrophile 3,554]

So that 500 post thread worked !

Gotta do it for Game 2!

[Vladifan 680]

And Huddles gets the first goal of the Playoffs.

Great pass from Flip, and a slam dunk shot for Rex!

Now we'll see how calm and composed the Jackets stay.

As I respond to this after the game I gotta say how prophetic your comment is. Because they did not hold up well after they evened up the score. Coulda been because the Wings came on even stronger. But still...!

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Haha, listen to Osgood. Thats confidence. Jesus.

[dats13owns 157]

And all of the big guns, Dats, Hos, Lids, Z, etc were relatively quiet tonight. . . can't wait to see what happens when they get on board.

#3 - Lidstrom

#2 - Rex

#1 - Ozzie

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I was in a computer programming class for most of the game, but I've been watching highlights for the last 20 minutes...that was thebomb.com...if Osgood can just hover consistently around the level he played tonight...we don't have nearly as much to worry about as we all thought. LET'S HOPE HE CAN!!! By the way, he just got REALLY defensive when asked about the criticism he's been gettin.

[Vladifan 680]

Osgood of all the great saves and you let that in

!!!!????????? Maybe you'd like him to play defense too? Get the hell real.

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

Ozzie has a LOT of confidence; his interview right now is awesome

[58Miles2Joe 12]

ok fellas, playoff time. They had me wondering, but tonight I sleep well.

[MacAttack25 44]

Haha, listen to Osgood. Thats confidence. Jesus.

I was just going to comment on that. I love it.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Can someone upload Ozzie's interview to Youtube for those who can't see it?

[betterREDthandead 58]

I think all the talk about the Jackets having the goaltending advantage with a green-ass rookie in net pissed Osgood off. Which is nice. Ozzie's always thrived on the taunts from fans on the road. Now he's mad and that's bad news for the Jackets.

[Guest DetroitBoy313]

It's unreal to think how much depth the Wings possess.Four goals and Dats,Z and Hoss didn't even get a goal! That 3rd line was INSANE tonight.

[Guest mindfly]

No you don't get it, if lidström only plays 21:40 and they still manage to play a solid game it can only be good down the stretch, he will probably need to play 25-28minutes deeper in the playoffs.

[wmubronco420 25]

also Hossa was an absolute beast tonight, i expect at least a goal from him game 2

Definitely...say what you will about Oz, but the guy CAN NOT be broken down.

[jollymania 162]

that was funny when he knocked nash down

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Yeah, Ozzie's pissed everyone is talking about HIM, and not the team. Not only that, the attention he's getting is all negative. I wouldnt be surprised if he keeps this up, just to shut them up.

[Guest mindfly]

Btw, anyone know why they didny play Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Holmström Lidström-Rafalski as pp-unit #1? havent they had this for some time now?

The depth is amazing, they can shut down Datsyuk, Hossa and Homer, but the other 3 lines can role it out.

The Flippula-Hudler-Sammy line was amazing tonight too!

Cuz Babs sux and can't coach.
