gdt 4/4 GDT - Sabres 2 at Red Wings 3

[Wings10 300]

Jesus the boys won the game,,,who cares what it looked like

[SimonSin 192]

Way closer then the game should have been.

Totally agree. That was WAY too close for comfort man. They let their foot off the gas bigtime. Oh well, two points is two points. Huge game tomorrow.

[roboturner 562]

Gotcha. No responsibility ever falls on this very incompetent defense.

I guess you missed the VERY NEXT LINE where I said EVERYBODY has some amount of responsibility

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Glad the Sabres mostly passed it around there in the final minute.

Ugly game besides the first period, but was a much-needed win and they got it. This team is nowhere near good enough defensively to try and shut it down with a lead.

[dat's sick 1,002]

Whoever iced that puck should sit the next game.

That was Pavel... imo it wasn't a terrible decision with our timeout left. Now, Quincey I think it was who had the puck under control after the faceoff and didn't manage to get it out of the zone.. that's bad.

Terrible last 2 periods. This team is so frustrating like that. Could have been an easy 6-0 game, we could have rested guys and given ourselves a great opportunity tomorrow.

But wins are all that matters now and with Chicago helping us out we are looking good.

[dropkickshanahans 463]

Ugly third, but our boys got the two points. Is that a four game win streak?

With the losses by CBJ and WAS, a good night. Congrats to Alfie for the GWG. I hope Jimmy is OK after that weird play when he went down awkwardly behind the net. I think regardless, Gustavsson should get the start tomorrow night.

Yup, and 7 out of their last 10. Glad they're winning at the right time

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

Should have been an easier win, but hopefully they were looking through Buffalo onto the Habs. Huge night for the Wings tonight though with Columbus and Washington losing in regulation.

Edit: Dats wasn't noticeable really at all besides some Datsyukian dekes here and there. Not expecting much from him since he has been out so long, but hopefully he can get back onto his game before the playoffs start.

2 points. Props to the Sabres for taking ten years off my life. lol

[gcom007 1,465]

Ugly win, but a win's a win. Hopefully this will motivate them to be better for 60 tomorrow against a much better Montreal team.

[bakerbert 211]

YES!!!!!

What an ugly game

[Dabura 12,207]

Special thanks to Chicago and NJ!

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Philly has less points than us, yet they're ahead in the standings.

This system is not very good. Go back to having top 8 teams in the Conference. If there's not enough cities in the Mountain time zone with NHL teams, so be it.

[RedWingsRox 614]

Glad Buffalo wants to secure that 1st draft pick.

More importantly, CBJ lost.

[Dabura 12,207]

The Habs are f****** scary right now. Hope we bring it tomorrow.

Also: 21 fart gun salute for Don Van Massenhoven! You will be missed.

[Wings10 300]

If we win tomorrow and Leafs lose..don't we clinch a spot?

NM forgot about NJ and Washington..

We killed the Sens last time we played them too. The Habs are a good team, but I do not fear them they are nothing compared to the Bruins whom we just beat. If the Wings bring their game, they get a huge W tomorrow night.

A poophole clenching win. 2 points baby.

*pats butts*

Based on your avatar, shouldn't you be saying 'bunghole' instead?

Psh, I don't fear the Habs! I'll never truly fear a Therrien team. But, generally, they've really been clicking - and being without Murray makes them that much better. Plus, it's the Bell Center.

Basically, what we did in the first period tonight? Do that for three periods.

[gcom007 1,465]

I...think? If it's a ROW, then even if we lost the rest of our games and Toronto pulled off three ROWs, we'd have the tie-breaker still by one. Am I right?

[Dabura 12,207]

lol our goal differential is -9.

[zztop40 80]

Yes I'm going to celebrate with a Coors light in my Scottish "Gordon" Beer Glass (wish I had some Gordon brew...I'll have to check that out...have on hand for the play-offs, LOL!)

You mean hockey is supposed to be played for three periods, not just one? Quick someone tell the Wings.

[The Datsyukian Deke 127]

All of that would've gone easier hadn't Jimmy given up that weak goal...

...oh, and the rest of the guys playing for three periods, of course...

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

It wasn't exactly pretty, and a bit more close than I would have anticipated, but a win is a win and it's still two points if the score is 3-2 or 7-2.

Tougher game tomorrow against Montreal, Patches had a 5 point night tonight and has been on fire lately. We need the D to show up and shut down their offense or it might be a rough one.

I'll have the GDT posted up tonight regardless.

[rrasco 1,312]

WOOOO! Have fun tonight and get ready for tomorrow. We're coming right back with another one, I feel it....

Gus said it himself, they are going to do whatever they have to get into these playoffs. Mark it.
