Game Thread: Red Wings at Canucks – 3/19

What a pass by Mowers. I complained about him at the start of the season but he’s playing much better since taking Mikey’s spot.

Yzerman and Willy connect! 2-0!

Clark Rasmussen March 20, 2006 3:19 AM

Three-goal lead is the hardest to hold in the “new NHL” and you know the Canucks will get the next power play. Good to see Osgood come up with a big (but not entirely pretty) save on Burroughs on a rush to keep that lead intact.

ETA: Holy crap, was I wrong. Six-straight calls against Vancouver.

Clark Rasmussen March 20, 2006 3:30 AM

:blink: Zetterberg is an animal what can I say… It’s nice to see calls going in our favor for once. Geat first period now we need to keep it up. I really dislike Bertuzzi, that slash on Malts was crap! Need to take better control of the power play, the last two runs were weak. Now Shanny and Stevie Y need to score! :therock: And if you are too old at 26 you need help! :blink: Games could be at 2 in the morning and I would be up!

The Datsyukian deke on the breakaway!!!!!!! :blink: Way to take away the goal on Bertuzzi!! Go refs!

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 4:07 AM

Ok we need to slow down and relax before we blow this, the tides have shifted :blink:

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 4:10 AM

There’s no way that goal should have been called back. Wow, Canucks got hosed. But they scored on the 5-on-3 and the second half of the PP so they still got the points.

Wings have got to bounce back, can’t let the ‘Nucks keep the momentum.

And re: late games… I’d stay up even if they started at 2 AM, too, but it always sucks to get up for work in the morning the next day :rockets:

Clark Rasmussen March 20, 2006 4:14 AM

With some of the stops that Ozzie has made tonight I have to take back some of the things I said about him!! On another note the I think the ref will be listed as one of the stars of the game

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 4:18 AM

Another bad call wih the offsetting minors, as much as Ken and Pat are saying it was a good tug by Sedin it looked very minor to me and like Franzen was on his way down already. Not a hook, not a dive, he just fell.

Clark Rasmussen March 20, 2006 4:26 AM

Something is worng with the officiating here, that was a crap call on Franzen. At least Nasland ended up in the box

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 4:27 AM

Auld is getting peppered! Nice save Ozzie

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 4:29 AM

Hey YzerFan you think they will let us host one of the games?

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 4:31 AM

:rockets: Don’t mess with Cheli

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 4:35 AM

Williams is on fire, holy crap!

Clark Rasmussen March 20, 2006 4:40 AM

DAMNIT!

Clark Rasmussen March 20, 2006 4:40 AM

Kronner to Willy SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!

This just in: Vancouver scores with 1.8 left Damn I was excited too!

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 4:41 AM

The good news is that a two-goal lead is more than a no-goal lead. Hooray for simple math! :rockets:

Even with the late goal, I don’t think either team has momentum right now, so by default the Wings are in a good position.

ETA: Is this the first game since he signed up that hotwings hasn’t been hanging out in the game thread?

Clark Rasmussen March 20, 2006 4:43 AM

Break out the Irish Jig!

Clark Rasmussen March 20, 2006 4:57 AM

FYI – This is the fifth time this season that the Wings have scored 7 goals. They haven’t scored 8 since an 8-3 win over the Wild on November 16, 2001, and they haven’t lost when scoring 7 or more goals since a 10-7 loss to the Sabres on February 24, 1993.

Let’s keep the streak alive!!!! Thoughts???? Comments?

SYfanSD March 20, 2006 12:23 PM

I hate the Western Conference, I’m too old for these late games :blink:

Even with the win last night, the Wings aren’t really clicking. Vancouver’s hungry and the Wings are on the road and tired, a recipe for disaster. I do not envy whichever goalie is in net tonight.
