WCQF Game 1 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Coyotes 3

[Holmstrom96 347]

The NHL has a rule that Phoenix can't be called for head-hunting well after the whistle until someone gets seriously hurt.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Can't really argue about the game thus far, I must say. We look good, and we're winning. That's always a great combination. I hope we turn up the jets to 200% for the 2nd.

[russianswede919293 95]

Great period. I'm fine with letting Phoenix run around like they have been. I want Abby next game to show the Coyotes some physical play.

If we win there is no reason to change really.

Williams has been invisible though.

[Systemfel 33]

Is that Dave King assistant coaching for PHO? I always liked that guy.

It is indeed.

Didn't Tippet get swept by the Wings back in 2008 while in Colorado? Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't his team try to do the same crap back then? Hmmmmmm......

[Marty Barry 230]

I think the mindset is sweep early and save on the BS western conference travel. Just amazing how we have overcome that handicap over the past decade or so. No matter how much talent we have had, that still is something to overcome being in the eastern time zone and all.

Your streak of wrong score predictions continues SeeinRed.

Next game mate, next game...

Oh I'm not out of it yet. The Wings just need to win the rest of the game 12-1, and I'll be right.

That's true!

Pavel has let you down though.

Williams has been invisible though.

He's so invisible that I forget to complain about him

I definitely want to see Abby in there instead, his physicality would be good to have against these fools.

I agree that there is no reason to change what is working. With that said, if Williams continues to be this invisible, I don't see a reason to keep him in the lineup (as he isn't necessarily part of the success).

His occasional dumb penalties will not help though.

EDIT: That does not mean I do not want him to play though. Just am pointing out one reason he isn't thrust into the lineup.

Oh I get what you were saying now. Yeah, Pavs let me down all right, but I'll take the score prediction. The calling of events is just a bonus

[matt198913 932]

This game is 3-0 without Bryzgalov

[cmonster 11]

I would rather Williams be invisible than have to curse him for f'n up!

That was Quenneville in Colorado. Tippet was still with Dallas then (Wings took that series 4-2).

No, he was head coach of Dallas at the time

Who is Williams?

This

Too bad Babs wants J-will on the PP.

[Guest mindfly]

Who is this williams you're talking about?

[russianswede919293 95]

PHX averaged 29.6 shots against per game.

If Bryz is facing 35-40 shots per game I like our chances a lot more!!!

[seeinred 1,488]

I'm blasting some Finnish music. It's gonna get Val a goal this period.

[sixer 37]

Great period, keep it up guys!

[8 Legged RedWing 367]

You have to feel Williams will get a goal one of these days...

Good period though. These goons will dig themselves a hole if they want to play like this. That last penalty was so blatant he didn't even look at the puck. PUNISH HIM!

[russianswede919293 95]

That was Quenneville in Colorado. Tippet was still with Dallas then (Wings took that series 4-2).

That was however the series where Ribeiro slashed Ozzie across the chest at the end of a game.

Tippet's teams have always been into after whistle antics. They work against a lot of teams. And Tippet has had success with it.

Not so much against our team.
