3/13 GDT: Sabres 2 at Red Wings 3 (OT)

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Buffalo are lucky to be in this game. A good start to the 2nd but that's about it.

As far as Howard goes, I watched Miller at the other end kick out a colossal rebound on a Draper shot right into the slot. The difference? LUCK.

And an alert defense.

It's unfortunate because, if I'm right, they're not going to win this game!

Yeah, well, let's see what happens. Maybe Lilja scores 7 goals.

Compliments aren't so much rare, as they are instantly flamed by certain posters who seem to hate Filppula as though he had run over their dog or something. As a result, only a few brave souls still post positive things about him.

Well I'm glad to see it. I'm one of those who thinks Filppula deserves every penny he makes. He may not be as productive offensively yet as we'd all like him to be, but his defensive game would be very tough to replace, and I don't want to see them try.

Just coming in......I see the score is tied at 2. Here's hoping the Wings find some way to pour it on in the 3rd and take the victory.

[P. Marlowe 748]

Lidström and Rafalski are both -2. That's quite surprising to me (not that they both are, as they're a D pair). They've been very visible in the offensive zone once again.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Flawless penalty kill. That's the type of kill they should use to get a timely goal.

13 minutes apart huh? I agree, Datsyuk will get the GWG!

[Jasper84 333]

Mickey points out that the puck hit the mesh, Sabers go up the ice and score.

Mickey says, "If you're a Red Wings fan and you're looking for something to complain about."

Like the masses of LGW need something else to complain about.

[Guest mindfly]

OMFG went up the mesh and should have been blown dead

[teebo 22]

wow, these refs are just awful. and blind.

My connection went down and when I reconnected, somehow the text got saved in the fast reply and re-posted.

C'mon boys we need this!

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no

choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

[Jasper84 333]

Nice save there by Howie. That almost found it's way in by that far post.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Rafalski is easier to beat than a mule.

[P. Marlowe 748]

That's one rule that I don't understand. Why should the play be blown dead when puck hits the mesh?

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Jimmy with two excellent saves.

That's one rule that I don't understand. Why should the play be blown dead when puck hits the mesh?

Were it not for the mesh, the puck would have been out of play.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Miller is just too good folks, too good.

[Jasper84 333]

Lebda almost able to tap in Helm's pass through the crease.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

I love how blue-collar the Detroit crowd always is. Draper throws his body in front of a point slapper and the crowd roars in approval.

That's a crowd that gets it.

[P. Marlowe 748]

Were it not for the mesh, the puck would have been out of play.

But the puck usually falls back on the ice and the play could continue. I guess it would create too many confusing moments as players would be wondering where the puck went.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

The Wings have to get Miller moving from side to side on this PP.

[Guest mindfly]

That's one rule that I don't understand. Why should the play be blown dead when puck hits the mesh?

Cause it isn't a part of the ice rink, just security for the crowd

[Marty Barry 230]

What a chance for the GWG!

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

But the puck usually falls back on the ice and the play could continue. I guess it would create too many confusing moments as players would be wondering where the puck went.

The net is out of play though because without the net, the puck would be out of play.

PP.

Please, Please

Power Play.
