WCF GAME 1 GDT: Blackhawks 2 at Red Wings 5

[Vincanni 1]

Considering how strange our goal against was I'm going to have to mark up today's 1st as an overall good start.

[Guest mindfly]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeah. Once again, the one-level, negative, blinder-wearing, know-it-all jackholes come to the forefront. For about 10 seconds.....

You can't deny it was a bad goal by osgood, yet he bailed the team later on so... it's better.

are the Red Wings playing today? You wouldn't know it, if you tuned in to NBC right now.

[Vincanni 1]

High five!

Hopefully it will become a nationwide phenomena. Be hilarious if the lowest viewing total of each game came during a Crosby interview.

Hopefully Cleary can bring out the Hat Trick here in the 2nd.. all high glove side on Khabby to wreck his confidence for the rest of the series..

[HereComeTheHawks 1]

The roar is back in Chicago, indeed!

[catbox_9 1]

Is it almost time for the second? These intermissions really seem to drag.

I doubt it. Most people don't care enough about Crosby.

8 Detroit giveaways in the first period? Good lord.

Not satisfied with that first period at all. Despite ramping up the pressure late they're passing up shots, making lazy turnovers and weren't skating hard in the defensive zone. Not to mention the overall sloppiness.

Now I wasn't expecting them to really come out like gangbusters after the Anaheim series, but it did seem that they got engaged as the period wore down.

[Guest mindfly]

Giveaways 0-8... perfect

[Xitium 272]

Eight giveaways for the Wings in the first period. Wow.

[C-TownWing 0]

Boy, Obama is screwwing up everything. Instead of the game being broadcasted. I get to watch comencement at Notre Dame on NBC. What they heck? Aren't all the other news channels enough? Nooooo, they have to broadcast locally, and screw everything up.

Our NBC affiliate does the games of our crappy local baseball team on Sundays, so that always screws me including right now. I'm hoping that they're done losing in time for the 3rd so I can drop the horrible online feed, but the game's going slow. Ugh.

[Z and D for the C 712]

8-0 turnovers...

[redwings4life 3]

good to see were winning 9-8 in the faceoff department as faceoff's were not good early for Detroit

[GSBrooks13 204]

8 Detroit giveaways in the first period? Good lord.

Hopefully we got them all out the way way early..

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

good gosh, the Wings need to fix the giveaways category...

[Vincanni 1]

8 Detroit giveaways in the first period? Good lord.

Well at least our biggest flaw is something we have a good amount of control over.

[Firehawk 305]

This series is already more exciting than the Ducks / Wings series. Fast skating, good clean hits, skill on both sides...

I'd look for Datsyuk to revel in this type of series. Awesome so far.

[Xitium 272]

8-0 turnovers...

Giveaways, not turnovers.

[Dabura 12,232]

Eight giveaways for the Wings in the first period. Wow.

I'll bet at least half of those were in the neutral zone. I saw way too many overlong passes when it's brutally obvious that the 'hawks are clogging that space.

[greenrebellion 415]

Dats and Hossa...PLEASE get something going in the second. I love you both!

[Electrophile 3,554]

I have got a splitting headache.....I think I'm going to lie down and see if I can will it away. Ugh.

[redwings4life 3]

Alright lets start the 2nd period, I want a better period from the Red Wings

[SliderJeff 11]

LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!

[EuroTwin 240]

START OF THE SECOND, GOOOOOOOOOO WINGS!
