There's gotta be an easier way to do it than I have been. I used CamStudio (free) to make a screen capture .avi, iWisoft Free Video Converter to make the gif, Easy Gif Animator (trial - about to expire) to export the .gif to individual files for each frame, Adobe Illustrator to make the captions, Photoshop to put the captions on the frames, and Easy Gif to piece it back together. This one and the Nick one were kinda pains in the butt though because you need so many frames to read lips.

You can use Photoshop to make your captions and save a step.

YEAH! MOTHA FUGGA!!!!!!!!!!
wish i watched this game in its entirety instead of running the replay machine for the Muskegon Lumberjacks getting destroyed by the Green Bay Gamblers tonight. This game plus two beers from Arcadia Brewing company were the only good things that happened to me all day.

I thought zetterberg had a great game, but it didn't show in his numbers until he got that assist in OT. He had a couple of Datsyukish moves tonight too.

We really got to tighten up our defensive strategies. We can't expect to win playoff series by scoring 5+ goals every night.

I'm totally making a .GIF of Franzen saying M***** F***** at the end. That was classic

Winning games 5-4 right now is actually a positive imo. They aren't going to be able to fully put the defensive game together until some more crucial components come back. Winning games in this fashion is nothing more than honing of talent until the troops get back. As long as Babcock can keep Lidstrom's TOI to a respectable level and keep the kids skating, we'll be fine.

Well the d sucked but with Datsyuk, Cleary and Stuart out you have to expect the team would get worse defensively.

I have to say, people were been skeptical of the Wings keeping Miller around.

Well, hope that tune has changed.

After a long underwhelming start he has definifely begun to play better and make an impact on the ice. However, two games against the Jackets does not a season make. He's a likable guy and we'd all like to see him continue to play well and stay as a result.

I feel he has played to expectations and then some as nothing more than a 4th line grinder and PK was wanted

[chrisdetroit]

In the last 10 games the Wings are 6-2-2 which translates into 14 points in 10 games for a 0.700 point percentage.

This is even with all the injuries. Remarkable. I'm thinking that there are fans of other teams looking at this and are not happy.

0.700 WITH the injuries....

I feel like there was there was an expectation of development in there too, despite his age and origins elsewhere, and that's why he was kept in favor of others. Wings grinders don't stay 4th liners forever, and he doesn't fit the mold of a plug. His PK has definitely come along, but he had been invisible 5 on 5 for a long stretches this season. If he keeps it up on the O side, he will certainly be all that everyone hoped for and possibly more.

I don't think Miller has disappointed this year. Some people (including myself) were wondering if he'd be too redundant to keep around next year, but not because he's playing bad, just that he doesn't really add much that we don't already have, but he works his ass off every night and that counts for something.

Every time the team gets depleted with injuries Miller steps up and starts scoring, I've changed my tune and now think he should be kept on the team because you never know when the team will get injured like this again and he's reliable.


Also, I felt that the goals allowed last night weren't all that bad. For once they weren't goals that the goalie should have had or ridiculous defensive breakdowns. A lot of the goals took crazy re-directions (not those slight angle changes that go in on Howard) or went through a ton of people. Not too unhappy, even though they allowed five goals.

what was the significance of this game for macdonald?

why did draper go and retrieve that puck for him after they won it in overtime?

Not sure, but it might be because it was Joey's first win as a starting goalie for Detroit.

Not for me. Draper is still outplaying him IMO and once everyone gets healthy I expect him to be scratched.

It was an ugly game but at least we won.

It was Rafalski who did that, and he did so because it was MacDonald's first win in this stint as a Wing and his first win since 2009.

hmmm. where's he going to put that puck? that's a pretty specific puck.

How does two good games by Miller make everyone who has said Miller is replacable wrong about him? He's played exactly how we all thought. No one hates him or thinks he is worthless. he's a 4th line PK'er that is easily replaceable by one of our younger guys.

Good win Wings. I didn't get to see the last period and OT, but I'm glad we fought and scratched out a win.
