WCQF GAME 3 GDT: Red Wings 4, Blue Jackets 1

[Holmstrom96 347]

This is the true test, how will the Wings do on the road. I feel the Mason has been broken. The first game he looked good, the second game he was just average. I think the Wings have demoralized him:

Steve Mason

GAA - 4.0

Save% - .890

I also love that Detroit is doing its usual total control of the game and puck movement.

Good Luck Ozzie!

[motorcitykid 42]

Time to take a stranglehold on this series!!

Considering the Ducks may be on our radar shortly, let's keep this series short. The first 5 minutes will be key. Columbus loses this one and they will surely be up to their ass in self doubt

Go Wings!!!!!!!!!

[betterREDthandead 58]

First ever NHL playoff game in the state of Ohio unless I'm missing some bit of obscure trivia. Kinda cool the Wings are part of the history. Now it's time to ruin it for the home crowd.

[3chrisosgood0 7]

well here in columbus the blue shirts are out

lots of ugly Nash jerseys

of course i stick out a lil bit sporing my red Zetterberg jersey!!!!1

YEAA SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha

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

OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE!!!!!!!!!

[55fan 5,133]

Working again, but I know you'll all be cheering enough for me.

(May 6th I get cable! NBC! And high speed internet so I can stream the games that aren't on NBC! WOOOOOT!!!!!!)

Anyway...

Wings win 3456-2.

Leading after the first period 1245-0, Babs decides tells the team to only play defense. The rest of the goals go in off of BJ's skates. The 2 Columbus goals are scored on the Jackets' 13th and 15th 5-on-3 PP.

Hitchcock complains we cheated. LGW fans complain that their beer is too cold.

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Detroit Red Wings- 5

Columbus Blue Jackets- 3

[swiss_redwingfan 5]

as per bluejackets247.com reported, the jackets lines in the training were as follows:

Huselius-Vermette-Nash

Umberger-Williams-Voracek

Chimera-Malhotra-Modin

Torres-Peca-Dorsett.

They shuffled up there lines and are obviously trying to bring more emotions in there top line!

OK Now I dont know what to do ...We all know the Players are superstitious, But us as fans are too!

I had been wearing the Red Jersey with my 08 cup hat for the games....But they were at home... Now they are on the road and they are wearing the White jersey.....should I wear the White jersey with my Red "D" hat?

in keeping with wearing the Home jersey for home games and the away jersey for the away games?

Or do I keep wearing the same jersey and hat cause they have been winning?

I'm So Confused

we've knocked em down, now its time to apply the foot to the throat!

3-2 Wings (hossa x2, rafalski)

[Krystal 41]

I finally get to catch a game! Time to break out the heavy artillery..

I say we're gonna win this game by a margin of no less than 3 goals - and Columbus will proceed to complain that we're cheating in some fashion.

Oh - and octopi. Totally.

I'm thinking with that kind of score, they might be complaining that their beer's too warm. But do I care? I don't like beer anyway!

[wingsgirl001 983]

I'll be in class during the entirety of this game.

Keep me updated, guys.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Guess who is skipping class tonight.

(me)

[hoogs 8]

I think this will be a close game tonight.

Wings win 3-2

Hossa, Mule, Flip

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

It's been my experience in games such as these--the EXTRA SPECIAL games such as banner cermonies, jersey retirements, retirement games etc. that it never works out for the home team. Tonight is such a game. Why, even the Commish will be there to christen Nationwide Arena and welcome it to the NHL land of playoffs.

4-3 OT winner scored by Hossa

Immediately after Hossa scores Bettman will be seen motioning to the referees demanding they wave it off

[Konnan511 1,736]

Kill. Maim. Destroy. Obliterate. Annihilate.

Wings win, Hank with the hat trick.

Also for those who want to follow along at home, you'll remember how influential The Dark Side of the Moon was to Detroit winning. Well, tonight's game is Wish You Were Here to The Wall. If you want to extend that out to The Division Bell, that's fine. Think of it as a virtual DJ booth, only it gives the guys good juju.

Deal!!

Wings win 5-2

Wings: Hudler, Zata, Dats, Kronners, Franzen

CBJ: Vermin, Burger

[interminded 1]

Just win.

I don't care if it looks pretty, if Datsyuk scores 3, if Ozzie has a .985 save% or if Rick Nash leaves the rink crying after two periods.

Just win the game.

[gowingsgo 3]

Weather the first 10 minutes and get a quick score. We can crush them tonight if we come out focused and continue to play championship hockey.

[gowingsgo 3]

Oh and I predict a 3-1 game.

Lidstrom, Holmstrom, Franzen

[WingsFanInBeanLand 30]

I believe Hossa is going to have a night of epic proportions. He's been circling the ice like a starving great white waiting for his opportunity. He's hungry, he's going to attack, he's going to methodically take bites out of the Jackets and Mason. Once he has that taste he'll rip 'em to shreds and leave 'em for dead.

[HanKarin40 7]

Woo Whoo, Tuesday's finally here! Wings will come out and totally DOMINATE! With momentum on their side and the way they've been playing, they'll be hard to beat right now! Let's take the 3-0 series lead and put this one to bed on Thursday!

Wings win it 5-1

GO WINGS!

[Gizmo 21]

As Babcock is fond of saying "Keep your foot on the gas fellas!!!"

[SuperNovaXll 124]

Ill say wings win 5-3.

BJ's jump out to early lead, end up on the PK half the game, but make a 3rd period come back with a empty net goal

[Shaman 713]

4-2 Detroit, 2 by Hossa, 1 by Z, ENG by Lids

Nash and Williams with the BJs goals
