12/22 GDT: Canucks 4 at Red Wings 5 (OT)

[edicius 3,269]

I expected nothing less from Don Van(couver) Massenhoven on the ice.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

i'm tired of the BS penalties we keep getting.

and then helm just got blatantly tripped in the corner...no call. garbage.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

i'm tired of the BS penalties we keep getting.

Like a friend said it's call 2 mins for being up a goal.

[ShanahanMan 473]

Disgusting PK

[Shaman 713]

Damn Sedins.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Massensuckin is sucking more than usual

[acidroach420 25]

"hey guys, we've played for 30 min, lets just give up"

PLAY THE WHOLE DAMN GAME.

[26point2 203]

How come there are a bunch of white jerseys around the 'Nucks net, and around the Wings net there are the same white jerseys? Are we getting knocked out of the front of the net on both ends?

[puckloo39 5,686]

I just noticed part of our problem tonight (not losing Datsyuk - that is horrific).

Don Van(couver) Massenhoven is officiating.

edit: sorry, Edi beat me to this. My 'puter is laggin' and draggin' tonight.

Refs can hand this game to Vancouver at any time in the 3rd....

[Konnan511 1,736]

Our PK looks like it did last year midseason

[edicius 3,269]

Two refs that should never be allowed to referee a Vancouver game: Auger and Van Massenhoven.

[j.hoop 64]

just because helm is good at drawing penalties doesnt mean they shouldnt call them

also, every goal those ugly swedish ******* get is from the side of the net WTF

[Joey v3.4 45]

Does everyone just play harder against the wings?

It makes sense. The big bad dominator of the league for two decades, why wouldn't playing against the Wings always be a seriously important game?

It kind of makes me happy that teams get so hyped to play us, and try so damn hard to beat us.

I mean really, honestly, if you ever played any sport, you know you get pumped playing certain teams. And if you're one of the better teams, you get REALLY pumped playing the badass team.

Makes me wonder, if I was a magician.....

What percent of "Effort" do the wings play against every night, compared to other teams?

Is Vancouver playing harder tonight against us, than they would play against...say......Edmonton?

Does this make sense? Am I high?

Does everyone come to our town with their A-game? I think honestly, just realizing that...yes....teams bring their A game against us night in and night out, is just that much of a testament to how good we sometimes actually are.

We're not at the bottom of the barrel. We can't silently just have a 10 game win streak and get back into the standings. We gotta scrap and scrape and claw and bite for every point, cause everyone we play seriously tries to bring their best game against us.

And if you don't agree with me, if you read this again with the right music in the background, it will sound cooler. I swear.

My son is wearing my Datsyuk jersey tonight to help reverse the slump... both times he's left the room Vancouver has scored and he's been in the room for both Red Wing goals so I'm thinking it's working... up until Datsyuk was hurt. I'm very superstitious but I don't think I have the heart to tease him about hurting Datsyuk... getting old and being responsible sucks!

[WizardOfOz30 1,886]

Not sure how I feel about Ovie's head showing up in that kid's locker and bowling bag. Kind of creepy

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Zetterberg is playing like trash tonight.

I've often wondered the same thing, though I don't think it's the case tonight as Van. has been playing great lately.

I like the ads, though my son says he should have gone bowling with the head.

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

simple way to stop van from scoring on the PP, move Kesler from in front of the net. both goals are almost mirror images from eachother.

I saw Ovie's head as a magnet on the back of a car yesterday. I lol'd. And was immediately thankful it wasn't Crybaby.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Franzen and Filppula are going to need to step up with Datsyuk out.

[edicius 3,269]

I'm tempted to remove the Zata WC jersey I've been wearing all day...

I'm going to make one and send it to you.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

I was going to post something similar, probably worded more delicately (), but he has looked slow and unimpressive with the puck tonight.

[26point2 203]

f*** sakes....******* late period goals..
