Game Thread: Red Wings at Maple Leafs – 12/13
A classic original six match up and long standing rivalry. I am looking forward to this one
Have to ask Clark about whether his team by team record against stats are accurate, but according to his page here, the Wings hold a slight edge at 333 wins 331 losses and 93 ties against the Leafs for all-time.
They’re right if my scores are all right. FSN said that only two games separate the teams so whether the numbers are right or not, the margin is.
Ugh, what a bounce. Hasek got caught cheating a little, too.
Hm. Lots of offense by the Leafs!
I hope this game doesn’t go downhill like the last one, but I guess you can’t always win as everyone is saying lately.
Who scored the goal?
Darcy Tucker.
Is it just me or is the ACC really quiet. Sounds like we can hear the on-ice sounds better than usual.
I agree.
They are taking shots on the powerplay for once
I hope Cleary’s ok. It would suck to lose him for a bit.
Yawn.
Wings are getting better but definitely not the most exciting game.
I hate afternoon games.
x] Agreed. Unless I am at them
(stating the obvious)
It’s hard to keep my attention on the game Dx
As I type that…..
WOO! Lidstrom’s, right?
Very nice. Yeah, it goes to Lidstrom. I was surprised that went in.
Taken to a Toronto Hospital for x-rays to the jaw.
I agree. Neither team seems to be playing with a lot of OOMMPPFFFF …
I am enjoying the between period commentary about the rivalry and various players of old.
Even if Mickey York’s narration on that Sittler bit was awful.
This is the stuff the NHL needs to remember. Try so hard to create rivalries at the expense of such amazing ones that already existed.
Ah, this is so lame. Dx This is taking forever. I thought it had been like 10 minutes and I look up to see it’s only been 3 ._.
This is probably the slowest game I have watched.
At least the Filppula-Samuelsson-and whoever the third person is are doing some nice plays.
Gah! Everyone knows Draper can’t finish!
Geez. Draper ALL ALONE in front of TOSKILA and gets robbed.
Drapes has been known to miss the broad side of a barn …..
On that last one though …. how could he miss? lol
By the speed / energy level of this game, I gotta wonder if the boys got together last night for a few cocktails in Toronto.
Toskala never seems out of position this afternoon.
Just robbed Homer.
XD Couldn’t have put it in better words. x]
Maybe it’s so quiet there because everyone is sleeping.
I feel like I could be asleep right now.
And then it’s 2-1! Woohoo!
Lucky deflection on Lidstrom’s shot to the net.
Ugly goal, but I’ll take it ..lol
XD Again, I agree with both of you!
That line has worked hard tonight, from the slowness of this game at least. I think they deserved it.
Goal judges may have a difficult time staying awake ………
It should be an exciting finish, so maybe that’ll keep everyone awake.
Agreed. Its impossible for me to believe the WINGS could lose this one, given the games pace, and how ineffective the Maple Leafs seem to be playing.
Goddamnit Dom!
Gawd, I should NOT have posted my previous comment! Now, I’ll probably live to regret having said ……..
I had to quote this again because I was just thinking, if they’re drunk and hungover now, how bad will it be against the Ducks? Let’s hope they don’t get pummeled.
Darn. It’s tied again. And now the crowd is showing some love.
Gotta wonder if DOM fell asleep before that Toronto possession, rush and GOAL!
He was awake, just didn’t get those friggin’ pads closed.
Jeepers. Bring out the SMELLING SALTS~~~~~~ pump some life into the WINGS.
I’m going to be P1SSED if this ends up in a shoot-out and we end up on the short end of the stick.
I’ll be p*ssed if this goes to a shootout ’cause I need to leave for a company party in 20 minutes. No recap tonight.
Edit: Though I’d prefer a shootout win than any other kind of loss.
I will be either ways because IT’S GONE ON LONG ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!
XD Smelling salts would do nicely. Maybe a large air horn. Get whapped with a stick? The world will never know.
#80 Toronto Andropov is a GIANT! Anyone see how big that guy is!
Here we go to OT. Smelling Salts anyone? haha
Gawd… what was DOM doing? Looking for his pillow?
and it was ANDROPOV …. the GIANT
I sit down just in time to see the Leafs score.
How pleasant.
I’ll go email them a question to answer on tv and ask them what smell they would prefer.
edit;; How far into the overtime was it?
Ugh. No comment. See you guys tomorrow.
Don’t have an exact time — but it was less than 3 minutes.
Have fun!
Spread the word about how useful smelling salts are!
Less than three minutes? I thought it was less than one minute XD I must’ve been downstairs longer than I thought.
(The slowness of the game messed up my time schedule)
