Poor lightning fans..

We will see if Babs learns anything from last game and doesn't have the team sit back and invite attacks all period.

[PotatoPeeler 26]

Things are gonna be different this time around. I'm gonna stay positive!

[PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935]

Looking great so far! Hopefully we've learned a lesson from last game and keep the foot on the gas.

Since Z has gotten a lot of flack recently, we should salute him for looking a lot better.

Bettman is looking through a rulebook as we write this to see if Tampa can be awarded a 5 on 2......for the last 5 minutes.

Rule 53.4 subsection C if Wings are actually looking good against a good team then a 5 on 2 can be awarded to the good team in order to even the odds of good team winning, ignoring the team that is working the hardest.

[Manny>Ozzie(by a long shot) 55]

We have been on the other side of this type of game/matchup so many times that it's refreshing to be on this side for once. I don't remember such good sustained defensive play from this team in a long time.

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

Man why can't they play like this all the time?! Also why does it always feel like the wing's series are behind the others. I find it odd that all the other games today are game 6s.

[Firehawk 305]

I cannot believe we're up 2-0 in this game. I thought we'd get dominated and blown out. Still could happen, there's still another period, but this is really 3 straight games of the wings outhustling TB. Let's see if they've learned from last game to close out the game. Protect Glendenning at all costs LOL

[matt198913 932]

Boooo

[MrazekFanBoy 223]

Need 1 more to win

Best way to protect this lead..................don't let Jonathan Ericsson see the ice. Datsyuk can play as the 6th defenseman.

His best game of the series. He's been big tonight.

Haha there was a break where he was playing as the Dman, and I thought the same thing

Because we are behind all the others. We started a day late and got that extra day off.

[Mckinley25 677]

Out shooting and out scoring the opponent, more power plays and Hank and Pavel playing well. This is not your infant's Red Wings team.

LGW will go offline if we have a meltdown again.

They always get stuck with the late start series, probably so they can get that Saturday NBC afternoon game. I wish they would stop with the extra day off stuff though.

I will murder the entire internet

Third underway.

[HockeytownRules19 902]

God Big E COME ON!

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Just 20 minutes please Ericsson. Can you play 20 solid minutes please

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

I will murder the entire internet

And then we all will murder darkmanx

[matt198913 932]

Just 20 minutes please Ericsson. Can you play 20 solid minutes please

Can Babcock play someone else who deserves it

[GoalieManPat 1,007]

All that pressure started because of Ericsson being s***.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Horrible start, and here come the Tampa Bay PP's.
