  • The Red Wings look to rebound from a pretty awful effort in Chicago on Tuesday night and keep their home winning streak alive as they host the Vancouver Canucks tonight.

    New acquisition Kyle Quincey will make the first appearance of his return to the Wings. He’s slotted to play alongside Jonathan Ericsson on the third pairing, as well as see power play (he practiced alongside Ian White) and penalty kill time.

    Jimmy Howard will get his second start after coming back from his broken index finger.

    Game time is 7:30 PM on FSD.

  • Blown power plays will bite the Wings in the ass. This one looks a lot like Tuesday.

  • Yep, of course the Canucks score on a play like that. White can’t stay off his goalie.

  • Big hit by Kronner. He’s getting better about those hops.q

  • Best trade of the deadline, thus far. Quincey makes it 2-1.

  • Why can’t they play like this on the road?

  • And that should have been cleared when they had it behind the net.

  • Saw that coming.

  • Abbey! Helm is on fire!

  • Goddamn, I love that third line.

  • I don’t even want to say it… Stupid penalty coming up?

  • That was probably the most venomous ‘F***’ I’ve ever yelled. Really? Just really?

  • Tying goal off a very generous icing. Surprise.

  • I swear the refs are against the streak.

  • f*cking shootouts.

  • I’m getting the feeling that we’re never going to hear the end of this, though I don’t know why. Hope my gut’s wrong.

  • You had to know that the streak would end in a shootout, especially seeing how those were such a point of contention over the past couple weeks on whether or not the streak “really counted” because of Detroit’s overtime and shootout wins.

    It’s frustrating because the Wings were close. This could have been a win. If any of Detroit’s three shooters had any bit of inspiration in the shootout… If Danny Cleary didn’t put two great chances in overtime right into Roberto Luongo… If the linesman didn’t buy Sami Salo’s “I’m trying as hard as I can to pretend to try as hard as I can” leading to that last icing call (or, even better, if Todd Bertuzzi is more careful dumping the puck out in the first place)…

    But I say it’s okay to be frustrated because no one knows how to act when a twenty-three game winning streak comes to an end. Next time someone does it, they can let me know.

    What the Wings need to do to get a new streak going? Power play. My god, they need to get the power play clicking. That’s a dead horse, I know, but they’ve had chances the last two games that they didn’t look remotely competent on. It’s biting them in the ass repeatedly.

    Two days in a row off twice next week should give them some time to calm things down and work on this stuff. We’ll see if it helps.

  • Worried about the Filppula line matching up against Kesler, a little. Decent shift there, though.

    Clark Rasmussen February 24, 2012 12:41 PM
  • Surprise! Worthless power play!

    Clark Rasmussen February 24, 2012 12:46 PM
  • No one expected Helm to shoot there. Great to see him finish another one.
