10/17 GDT: Avalanche 4 at Red Wings 3, (SO)

Choosing baseball over hockey.

You have chosen... poorly.

No I haven't. I love my Red Wings but I love my baseball team too. This time of year, baseball comes first. Hockey is my #2 sport. Besides, the game starts in 40 minutes so I can at least catch some of this game.

So nice to be out in front early in the game.

[Finnish Wing 110]

That's not the case here:

2006-07 Florida Panthers - 2.21 GAA, .931 SV%

2007-08 Florida Panthers - 2.25 GAA, .935 SV%

2008-09 Florida Panthers - 2.71 GAA, .924 SV%

Personally, I'd say those are respectable numbers, especially when you consider that he had to play behind a team like the Panthers that were rarely, if ever, considered a contender.

Still, was he a winning goaltender back then? Because, I think he now kinda looks like one.

Whoa, Abs just missed a one timer in the slot..

[Jasper84 333]

That Helm & Abby line looks like it's going to be a good thing

[Lamothe 5]

Man, they are playing surprisingly well so far... Much better than the first few games.

4th LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

esteef

[Xitium 272]

Wow. the Wings are looking REALLY good in their own zone so far tonight. Hopefully they keep it up.

[Jasper84 333]

I'm lovin' how they are letting them play so far with no bogus calls.

[j.hoop 64]

MAY WITH THE THUNDER

[Guest mindfly]

May wants to fight

[Electrophile 3,554]

It's like a different team out there. Maybe Babs unleashed hell on them or something.

[Xitium 272]

May vs. Koci next shift? Stay tuned!

[redwingfan19 293]

love that third line, with ericsson out there that is a pretty tough line to play against i bet lol

[syntax 359]

First PK incoming.

[commadore183 103]

Wings PK.

[Finnish Wing 110]

Stupid penalty by Bert.

[syntax 359]

Nice kill!!!!!!!!

[commadore183 103]

Another successful PK by the Wings.

[Lamothe 5]

Kronwall destroys Quincey LAWL

[55fan 5,133]

Sad to see Quincey as an Av. I was ok with seeing him as a King, but an Av? Perish the thought!

[Namingway 146]

good PK, Avs had just as many chances as the wings did on their own PP back there

[Finnish Wing 110]

We should sign Buck McNeely as an enforcer.

[zettie85 106]

The defencive zone play still needs a ton of work.
