RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Nice to come home to a solid Wings win. Just saw highlights, wicked backhand pass by #13. It looked like Bert wanted to give Datz a kiss after his 2nd goal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Filppulas secondary assist on Bert's second goal was one smooth, high skilled, pass. 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 1,085 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 It was, 2 amazing assists from Datsyuk as well. As others have said, the return of Bert and Helm gives our forward lines a lot more balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RedWingsDad Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Most of all, we played with tenacity. That's what won us the game. Perhaps it was the better rest, or the pep talks, the return of helm/bert, or a combination of those, who knows - I do know we need to show up like that every night. It's clear we have the skill, just got to match it with effort. 1 esteef reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looked like Bert wanted to give Datz a kiss after his 2nd goal! Ya,.WTF! I work a 17 hour shift and they play like that! I like it, but honestly, now that we know that they can play this good, will they show up every game from now on? This team concerns me, but from the highlights, maybe they are getting better....at least for one game....baby steps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 I DVR'd the game and will watch this afternoon. It would make my day to see someone holding up a sign that refers to the Olsen Twins or even Gunner.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Is it me, or are 5-on-3s the league's new weapon of choice in the war against low-scoring games? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Is it me, or are 5-on-3s the league's new weapon of choice in the war against low-scoring games? Thought exactly the same, although the game was good the refs really ruined the flow with their constant whistles for both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seraph 240 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Honestly the calls weren't bad ones. The threshold was low to blow the whistle but on the replays all the penalties were legit. Can't blame them for being consistent. We did a bad job adapting to the tone they set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lacrossekid2 5 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 That place was really rocking last night! Definitely a fun game to attend, the lower bowl was spotty but the Upper Deck was absolutely packed, no open seats around us. What a difference Helm and Bertuzzi made, we looked like a whole different team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fat guy in a maltby jersey Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Smith is going to turn out to be better than Suter anyway, we need the cap room for him. he's going to have to learn to play defense first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjr2012 439 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I was really impressed on how well the team adapted to the returns of Bert and Helmer i expected a boost of energy but wow we woke up big time when we needed to now im hoping we carry the momentum into sunday and deliver a beating to the Hawks it will be tough but with a day off and them playing back to back we might catcha break Edited January 26, 2013 by sjr2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) As much as I liked that game, we need to actually show up for the first period for Chicago, and then if we have that many penaltys they'll shred our PK. Edited January 26, 2013 by T.Low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Euro_Twins 4,476 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 Yes because there was no evidence this season that a smoking was possible. It's called having faith in your team, even throughout disparity. Look at leafs fans, as much as they get on my nerves with their "this year is the leafs year to win a cup" crap, there is something to be said about how loyal they are, and they always have faith in their team. Not to mention not many teams had a good start after the lockout, look at nyr, la, philly, washington, pittsburgh, vancouver... Sorry if I don't jump ship everytime an elite player retires...
