2-1 sabres so far

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

Thank you Cern.. Apart from the 60 second brain fart, how was it? Defensively, giveaway-wise??

And for the love of all that is good... could you please change your sig? it's depressing

Detroit allowed three shots on net in the first. Took the play to Minnesota and had two breakaways (Helm, Bertuzzi) that only Bert was able to capitalize on.

Second period had the Wings keep up their good play but Minnesotta got a few more chances. Their goal came from a weird deflection that went high into the air, bounced off the Minnesota player and in the net. No chance for Howie.

Third period had the Wings start off very strong by scoring two goals (Eaves, Miller). Unofortunately a rebound by Howard was slid in by the Wild and it turned into a one goal game. Then a point blank fivehole shot got past Howard and it was tied with only a few minutes left.

Rest of the game was pretty uneventful until the shootout.

Hawks defeat the Flames 3-1, Wings are in for at least tonight no matter what happens in LA.

Should not have gone to overtime, Howie's 5 hole was so big a semi could have drove in there sideways.

Bettman's minions at work for unseen reasons...

He hasn't been bad at all, but he's never been as good as many say. People hype up his secondary assists like he scored a goal. Bottom line to me, he's not worth $3 million. Not even close. He would get far grace from people like me if he wasn't making $3 million a year. Well, that and the overzealous fanboys get pretty annoying at times...

Long time lurker, new poster here.

I've noticed that a lot of Filppula's critics like to harp on his "secondary" assists to diminish his value, well since returning from his injury, all but 1 of his assists have been primary, and in the Washington game he got the only assist on both goals. Not taking sides in this particular arguement, but just pointing out this fact.

Zetterberg desperately needs to come up with a new shootout move. Please, Z.

[CanadaBoy 151]

The Red Wings are in 7th. It's beautiful.

Now, we going win the Stanley Cup....!!!!!!!

[titanium2 867]

Why no Pavel Datsyuk in the commercial? I know his English is bad but one word can't be so bad. He could be a third "anything." Except iirc there is no "th-" sound in Russian, and so it will probably sound like, "anysing" coming out of Pav, but it would still be cool!

7th place has never looked so good. perspective: 7th and 3rd place are four points apart.

[Datsyuk2Zetterberg 1]

I miss the days when I could count on Datsyuk or Zetterberg to get a goal.

at least they won though.

As long as they get in the playoffs, teams will be crapping themselves over playing Detroit in the first round.

I can picture it. Yay, we're in the playoffs! Wait, who are we playing? *looks at list* Detroit. Dammit.

Lol at the fascination with the playoffs in January. You guys crack me up. .

well for how many years have the media/ other fans said how pointless and meaningless so many games during the regular season have been?

this year at least right now, is markedly different. i actually enjoy it in a sense.

[stuck in socal 56]

@ Kylee I like it too because each Wings game is a tad more meaningful but I do not want to obsess about thinking about "oh my gosh what seed are the Wings in now?" I will save that for March. .
