WCQF GAME 2 GDT: Red Wings 4, Blue Jackets 0

[Electrophile 3,554]

Well for Game 1, I was listening to classic oldies to give the Wings a little inspiration. Tonight it's Pink Floyd!

[Guest Shoreline]

Great play by the Wings after 1. Keep it up, boys.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Kinda greasy period, but a better 1st then yesterday, which is good. Come out in the 2nd and win this one.

[gcom007 1,465]

Another good period of hockey. They're working hard out there. Gotta keep it up for 40 more though. They need to get another goal or two in the second. It would be rough to go into the 3rd up only 1-0.

I wanna see more domination from Datsyuk and Zetterberg's line. They're working hard, but not many good chances are coming.

[Guest mindfly]

Our 3rd line is HOT. And Rafalski has been pretty bad in the defensive zone these first 4 periods in the playoffs.

I think it's "HOT" because the 1st and 2nd line play even on each team while red wings third line is way better than theirs so they get more space, when other teams third line is as good the games will be tight as an asian c**t

Sammy's going to be the next Ovechkin.

Karen Newman>[insert another NHL Team]'s National Anthem singer.

It would be helpful though if she sang per-i-lous instead of "per-o-lis". It ain't that tough to figure out. You don't even help your voice or throat by singing it that way.

OK, back to the game....

[Jedi 1,865]

Started on our heels a bit, but we ground out control of the game, and now we're heavily outshooting them.

Another goal tipped in off a Columbus player. Wonder what Hitch is saying to his team?

[Vladifan 680]

pavel hit reel

He's our next Konstantinov.

[Chaos_Effect 0]

Hopefully we can stay on the Blue Jackets in the 2nd and 3rd and score some more goals.

Am I the only one who saw Homer pass the puck back to Lids on that goal? Pav's assist should be Homer's.

[Vladifan 680]

Must be a misprint. The ticker says there was a penalty called on Peca. For Detroit? Not possible.

Let's make the most of this, boys!

Yeah, at some time during the first period there was a slashing call on him. Even Mickey said that it was an obvious penalty. Problem is, I've seen that kind of slash mebee 40 times this season and no calls. Somebody define "obvious", please?

I dunno, they've been almost as non-existent as a Swedish wang.

[Electrophile 3,554]

OK, back to the game....

It would be helpful if she stopped singing it. She suffers from the same affliction that also shows up in other singers doing the National Anthem; she thinks it's a pop song. So she puts melismas and trills and all sorts of vocal gymnastics in a song that is supposed to be more staid than stacked.

I'd rather the Wings had a color guard go out there and play it as an instrumental. The only person I've heard sing that song with the right amount of pomp and circumstance was Wayne Messmer and any Chicagoan will know who that is.

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

Sammy is playing very hard and I commend him, but God the guy sucks at shooting the puck.

He needs to start aiming at the Columbus players instead. Maybe the puck will just bounce off of them and into the net.

[Guest mindfly]

Homer never touched it

[Dabura 12,232]

Man, are the Wings soft or what? They're getting absolutely manhandled out there. It's too bad they don't have a fighter out there. You know, to send a message, set the tone, etc.

[b.shanafan14 733]

Helmer is a hitting machine right now. Wings are physical top to bottom after one. Keep pouring it on boys.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

The cheapshots on mindlfy are tooo goood

[Firehawk 305]

I think Dats, Zett, and Hossa will start getting goals on the road. Hossa is just one little chip away from getting goals. He's getting chances. Hossa reminds me of our Fedorov back in 97 and 98, but with more skill. When he comes zooming through the neutral zone with the puck like a mack truck, that's what it reminds me of.

[Guest Shoreline]

Oh yeah, Wings in way over their heads here..

Where are the enforcers to keep this team from beating up the Wings?

[Vladifan 680]

Howdy boys and girls......I'm here. Had to make a quick run to the mall for an exchange, but I hope I didn't miss anything. Ozzie look sharp again so far?

YESS!! *screaming hoarsely sometime after the end of the first period*

They got a tone setter, Darren Helm
