[edicius 3,269]

Oh, duh. Of course. Walkom's one of the refs. I shouldn't be surprised. Hack.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

I decided to make toast. I hope that helps.

[puckloo39 5,686]

running out of time, Wings. Please score and tie this.

[ShanahanMan 473]

what happened to all that pressure? After the 4th goal, they just stopped....

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

I don't understand how that's not a delay of game penalty.

[commadore183 103]

EN Wings.

[edicius 3,269]

Empty net.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

I don't understand how that's not a delay of game penalty.

It wasn't the Wings.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Empty net.

[syntax 359]

Well, at least we had one game where we didn't give up 4+ goals in a game.

[kook_10 1,705]

Gallant effort after a s***ty s***ty start.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Well we certainly gave them a fight, cant go down 4-1 and expect to win. Good game by Joey.

[edicius 3,269]

Bah. Close, but no cigar. That's what happens when you go down 4-1 in the 1st period.

[JasonNewEra 84]

DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!! Rafalski is done. I know he scored but he gave up the puck all night and couldn't hold it either. Goalies ~~~blargh.

[puckloo39 5,686]

a bit too little, a bit too late... but they tried. Poor Jimmy, get some rest and let this one go. It happens.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Bertuzzi is lazy and he sucks.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Well once again the lesson this game is wrapped in is, stop giving up one hundred billion goals every night if you want to win.

Still, pretty good road trip.

[SuperNovaXll 124]

Damnit...

Well If it wasnt for those early goals this would have been a different story.

Our 3rd and 4th line played awesome. Joey also looked very good. At least we get a few days off now

[hankzet40 233]

Good effort in the second half but too much to overcome.

[commadore183 103]

Final/Regulation

DET: 4 (Mursak, Raffy, Hank (PPG), Homer (PPG))

COL: 5 (Statsky, Duchene (x2), Porter, Jones)

Wings just didn't show up in the 1st period and they couldn't come back from that.

[Draperfan 104]

Game's not over yet!

Yes it is.

[NotTooAbby 71]

draper makes one play the entire game.....missing the net by 2 feet which leads to the GWG for the Avs. way to go drapes....thats day one stuff

[TheXym 2,606]

Gave up too much too early to overcome but they played much better after the first. Six of eight points is pretty good for a western Canada swing and a game at altitude in 6 days, so hopefully they can go home recharge the batteries and come out swinging from the opening face-off next time.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Wings didn't complete the comeback because Eaves didn't score.

[ACallToArms 270]

A nice effort in 2 & 3, but I don't know what to say about that 1st period. The Wings just seemed out of it, especially the D. Hopefully a couple days of rest will do the team good.
