gdt ECQF Game 1 GDT : Red Wings at Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:30 EST

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Marchenko looks like the only big game he ever played in was in the KHL playoffs, at some hockey rink in Siberia, with 13 people in the crowd, drinking vodka smuggled in their parkas.

I think Kindl should play next game and not him.

Hold tight guys.

[brett 1,029]

Z and zids worst players on the ice tonight

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Keep playing like this and it's going to be a quick series regardless of tonight's outcome.

He's been better than zidlicky.

So...are we "due" for a PP or nah? I can't quite figure out how it works

You are if you're not Detroit, not sure how it works but just does.

Don't deserve any advantage.

So...are we "due" for a PP or nah? I can't quite figure out how it works

My magic 8-Ball says..."All signs point to NO"

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

We'll be so much better when Tatar and Nyquist come back from injury....oh they're playing? Nvm.

Someone should tell them this isn't the 2014 playoffs, and the big bad Bruins aren't around to hurt their soft euro assholes.

[gowings00 545]

We are not a puck-possession team. Not at all.

[Superman54 91]

we are lucky right now, this can't be a continuing trend or else we won't be so lucky

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Hang tough Petr and the boys!

[Blazinaloe 3]

They will revieiw this game and the calls at some point in the series this differential will be reversed... That being said If the wings steal this on a night where were outshot so badly it may rattle the Lightning especially if Marazek can repeat this performance in game two! Be nice for once the Wings can ride a hot Goalie!!!!!!!!!!

[sjr2012 439]

thanks god its not howard in net, it would be 13-3 right now

well bad thing is I could see babcock punishing mrazek and going with howard if he were to lose even though his been the only reason besides dats we are in

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

He's been better than zidlicky.

They've both been bad enough where I've mistaken them for each other.

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

I might hurl

[Franzine 739]

Ericsson has been surprisingly steady as well.

Love how he smacks around Tampa when they get near the net.

[Desert Rat 78]

I think this is the best Tampa can play but I know we have a lot more than this to show.

*clenching cheeks

[e_prime 1,936]

You gotta try to possess the puck and actually play offense to get penalties called by an large....not putting pressure on Tampa means no Power plays for Detroit.

I'm fine with not getting power plays for penalties that don't exist, or aren't deserved. ...but on the other hand you should get the benefit of the doubt when it's simply following through on a shot. Not an actual high sticking penalty.

[Wing-in-avs-town 123]

Danny D with a big hit!

[wings87 1,290]

f*** storm in Houston, directv signal went out. f***.

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Deep breaths

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Nope, he'll go with Mrazek even if we lose.

[raind29 2]

Does Petr use like crystal meth, he looks like he pumps himself up on breaks

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

Hard to get a PP when you're constantly on the PK. Refs making up calls on that last penalty.
