lordstanley Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Red Wings kick off a month of 7 road games and 7 home games with a game in Columbus tonight. 8 games are against opponents currently in playoff position, 6 games are against opponents currently outside a playoff spot. The Wings went 5-7-2 in December for 12 points in 14 games. Quote
slothfacekilla Posted January 3 Posted January 3 LOL nice of Elvis to have pity on Gustafsson and allow his first goal as a Wing on a long range shot. 2-1 in the first, Wings up with Kane having the other Detroit goal. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted January 3 Posted January 3 This looks like a different Wing team. Jumping all over teams in the 1st is a refreshing change. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 first Columbus goal scores after a weak ass clearing attempt by Petry. Why would you just sweep the puck along the dasher when you know an offensive player is there waiting for it? Exactly what McLellan was talking about when he said they had to play smarter. Quote

slothfacekilla Posted January 3 Posted January 3 As an ex goalie I would have been very annoyed at Seider and Chiarot on that BJs goal, it is like they were trying to screen Talbot Quote
slothfacekilla Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Awful backcheck by Veleno on that tying goal, blah Quote
slothfacekilla Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Looks like Petry might have broke his wrist or something? Quote
buddha Posted January 3 Posted January 3 red wings are doing this weird thing where when they lose the puck they actually try to get it back rather than just retreating to their own blue line. weird. 2 Quote
lordstanley Posted January 3 Author Posted January 3 Wings take the risk of challenging, lose the challenge, and so now they have to kill a penalty late in regulation to preserve a point. Quote
buddha Posted January 3 Posted January 3 wow. what a finish. great block by chairot, great hustle by motte, great finish by berggren. Quote
lordstanley Posted January 3 Author Posted January 3 (edited) Berggren wins it on a breakaway after coming out of the penalty box! 5-4 final. Edited January 3 by lordstanley Quote
slothfacekilla Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Very nice win in Columbus. I'm intrigued by the new Joe Veleno usage. I wonder if Todd sees something in him or if Yzerman told him to give it a try. Joe has actually made some nice plays that have surprised me, he also still does some stupid stuff. But maybe they can drag a hockey player out of him after all? 1 Quote

All I know is that I have no idea what the league thinks the crease rules are. Quote

oblong Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I haven't watched a Wings goal on repeat that often since Kane's last year in Chicago. Quote
Jason_R Posted January 3 Posted January 3 It’s amazing how a new coach comes in and tells players to play to their strengths, then they start hustling and winning. Quote
lordstanley Posted January 3 Author Posted January 3 At the risk of getting the Jim Mora meme resurrected, I would like to point out that the Wings are now just 4 points behind the final playoff spot. A bunch of mediocre teams chasing 8th place. 1 Quote
