yeah - reckless abandon is a great trait for a hockey player... good luck with the suspensions.

[hillbillywingsfan 794]

dude helms face is all fudged up!

[number9 3,297]

Sproul looks like exactly what this d core needs. Honorable mention to Backman and Ouellet as well.

[TheXym 2,606]

dude helms face is all fudged up!

He's ready to be Frankenhelm for Halloween.

[dirtydangles 1,328]

We are doing WAY better in our own zone with Mrazek's puck playing ability.

[number9 3,297]

OMG learn to handle the forecheck

[TheXym 2,606]

Mrazek looking pretty good so far in the third.

[arag 308]

Andersson kinda sucks

[hillbillywingsfan 794]

wait what?!?! cleary is on ice? haha

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Hornqvist

Hornqvist

Hornqvist

Hornqvist

"a good hard working penalty"

ok the pens are hitting now...so we need to start hitting.

The commentator also said that about a trip Hornqvist committed as the Wings were coming out of their own zone. Nothing like a "good" penalty 200 feet from your own net.

[thegerkin 189]

Good game. A bit sloppy, but good to get the first one out of the way.

[Ekmanc 586]

We had Datsyuk, they didn't.

[TripleS 46]

Datsyuk left the game in the 3rd after taking a hit by Scuderi and going into the corner of the glass at the end of the bench. Looked like he banged up his shoulder. I guess we'll wait for Ansar Khan to update...

[dirtydangles 1,328]

things learned - hornqvist is the only name these commentators know and wouldn't shut up to the point where they managed to overrate him

sproul is tough as nails

pens are looking to play dirty this season

wings pp and pk were pretty good

mrazek looked great

none of the GR forwards look ready to make the jump

he caught his skate on the ice and torqued his knee awkwardly too. wasn't sure which it was

[RedWang 422]

Per Mlive. "A Red Wings spokesman said Datsyuk left with a shoulder injury and will be re-evaluated Tuesday"

Damn.

Damn.

here we go already we start with this! remember when pavel used to take a hit to give a hit.. now its like he isnt even ready for hits and thats what is throwing him off. he needs to be more prepared, everyone is out to label him on the boards etc.. come on pavel wake up!

Just got back from the game. My 6 year old was a very good road fan for us chanting "Lets Go Wings" for every single "Lets Go Pens". A kid across the aisle from us was waving a terrible towel and he waved it at my son when the Pens scored. When Datsyuk scored, he goes "Not waving that towel now huh?!" I was in shock, he's usually pretty mild mannered, but he was really getting into it. Everyone around us just laughed, except the kid with the towel. Here are a few good pics I got:

[dirtydangles 1,328]

^Awesome kid! Hopefully he sees some cups soon! If he is 6 I'm guessing he doesn't remember '08 - if he was even born yet - but he has the Pens hate that 08' and '09 bred.

He doesn't remember it, but I tell him about it all the time. He was born during that season. So I always tell him the Wings won the Cup in Pittsburgh the year he was born.

6 is such a great age. Glad you and the boy had a good time!

You, good sir, are awesome. Warms my heart to see another young Wings fan getting into it. Cool custom jersey he's got too.

Didn't see the game nor the highlights, but loved the names on the scoresheet!

[RedWingsRox 614]

Watched the highlights ... wow, Dats is like in mid season form.

Always like it when we beat the Penguins ... doesn't matter if it is preseason, regular, or post!

Woke up this morning, first thing I thought was "wonder how the Wings did?". Second thing I thought was "I wonder who got injured?"
