4/11 GDT: Red Wings 3 at Blackhawks 2 (OT)

[Yak19 303]

Big win by the Wings yet again, makes the first round easier (not easy there are no easy teams) on us and tougher on the Hawks.

Anyone check out the pic of Bert and Buttfuglyen on NHL.com front page?? Their reactions are priceless lol.

GO WINGS!!!

Fantastic game. Dano is the man, for all those who have doubted him suck it. Gearing up for the playoffs, time to take down the NHL's team!

[Vladifan 680]

Wow Playoff Zesus came out in the OT O_O

Great goal to win it.

Not that I don't respect Phoenix, they'll be a tough opponent, but avoiding Vancouver was key.

Bring the playoffs on!!

And for our first round, we won't have all that far to travel.

[crotty99 302]

Really? What did Zetterberg say?

Couldn't see what Z said.

I wasnt looking at the standings, give ya head a shake moron... I just heard this was the "battle of the 8th spot" didn't know about which team had tiebreakers and whatnot... fool.

I remember when you once didn't know what offsides were.

Don't act like you didn't

[Electrophile 3,554]

Wings win a shoot-out yesterday, win in overtime today, clinch a playoff spot.....well, well, well. I think everyone, myself included, who doubted this team's ability to make the playoffs should chow down on some humble pie. I'll take mine with extra whipped cream.

Hey now, don't pick on Mindfly-- you know he's a sensitive young man.

P.s. Chicago can suck it. Suck it long. Suck it hard.

Sean Connery: Well, the game is afoot. I'll take anal bum cover for 7,000.

Alex Trebek: That's an album cover, not anal bum cover.

I'm just teasing you. We all do but it wouldn't be the same here without ya.

Man those were epic SNL sketches

My dad ain't too pleased. Oh well.

[Vladifan 680]

I hope he's doing a whole lot better, health-wise.

[Guest Crymson]

Now do you all believe? WILL you believe?

[10 Minute Misconduct 104]

Can someone post a youtube of Stuart's OT goal please.

Don't cut it off right after the goal tho leave it running for a couple mins

Thanks.

[VM1138 1,921]

Now do you all believe? WILL you believe?

I will, because the playoffs start everything fresh for everybody. As we've seen the Wings can turn it on literally overnight when it's playoff time. No matter what happened this season I don't see a reason they can't win it all, same for any other team.

I love playoff season!

(By the by, while we all panicked, this season was only one ranking less than our previous worst (4th place) if I recall correctly. Not a bad showing at all.

Alex Trebek: That's an album cover, not anal bum cover.

Sean Connery: "It looks like this is my lucky day! I'll take "The Rapists" for $200.

Alex Trebek: That's "Therapists." That's "Therapists," not "The Rapists." Let's skip "Therapists" and try "Household Objects", for $400. And the answer is, "You usually drink water out of one of these."

[Electrophile 3,554]

I hope he's doing a whole lot better, health-wise.

He is, thanks be. Everything is clear, including scans and blood work. His doctor says he dodged a bullet and in a couple years will find out just how big of a bullet it was.

[FedorovMan91 1]

Happy the Wings won this game although the first period looked a bit sloppy. Howard was good again and the best wish he stays hot and calm during the playoff too.

I have a belief on this team and hope the team gears up against the Yotes.

Remember:

Goodbye Detroit. No playoffs this year. It was 20 years ago the last time we missed the playoffs. I am sick of the biased reffing, Mike Ilitch has to see this s***, why doesn't he say something!!!! Maybe he is getting paid off to keep quiet. I think its time to give Howard a rest. Looking like a rookie now a days. Granted he is playing just as good (or crappy if u may) as everyone else, but he doesn't need to get burned out. Once again, off season, only a select few are untouchable. This team is playing pathetic, at least we have the injuries to blame, oh wait, they're healthy. Make deals Holland or lose credibility.

.. the fans who gave up and crapped on the team that managed to go in such a short span from out of the playoff picture to 5th.

[crotty99 302]

I think Leftwinger has more than 1 of those "sky is falling" posts.

We should build a frigging statue to Howard. He's really saved this season with his fantastic play. Easily the best rookie season we've seen in Detroit in a long, long time.
