Game Thread: Red Wings at Kings – 10/16
No game-day notes from me. I may not even be around for this one.
Wings – Kings. 7:30. FSD.
About time
Very, very nice to get the Wings on the board.
Joey needed to stop that. Weak goal.
Agreed. That whole period was week.
Wow! We got beat on the icing call…
Four shots halfway through the game. Holy hell…
These games remind me of the late 80s and early 90s.
Why the f*ck can’t we do that more often?
Jesus Christ, that was a hell of a set of moves. Two goals on six shots. Damn…
Amen brother…
One word… Kronwalled. Can we get one?
I bet we come out with the “win the game in one period of hockey” attitude.
Nice muscle play there…
What the hell was that? How many hooks will they allow on one guy?
Nice “Lidstrom” like shot off the boards by Smith.
Nice! Voracek took responsibility for having his head down. On that note:
If you go back and look at Kronner’s hits, you’will see that 90-95 percent of them take place at the same spot on the ice. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out where the danger zone is. Always be aware of who is on the ice! How hard is that?
f*ck… f*ck… f*ck… Now Zata? GREAT!
Clusterf*ck. I believe that’s the word.
Hell yeah!
Alright, I’m liking this Smith kid. And Fil can finish.
No pun intended!
Wings woke up.
Heh, I can’t believe this game.
I can’t either.
Go figure
I hate this…
15 seconds!!! Arrrrrrggggghhhh!
Thank god!
Make no mistake, I love tonight’s outcome and I love every one of the goals the Red Wings scored, but this was an awful game.
In today’s NHL, there is no way a team should win 4-3 while taking only 15 shots. This game was sixty minutes of absurdity.
That said, as was pointed out to me on Twitter, “Every so often, you need to win a piece of sh*t game to prove you can.”
The Red Wings needed this. There’s no doubt about that. They needed it to stop their skid at two games and they needed the two points to keep pace in the Central with the St. Louis Blues.
The Kings needed it, too, and they threw everything they had at the Wings in the final minute. Joey MacDonald made up for a soft goal earlier in the game by standing tall at the end.
Combine that with one of Valtteri Filppula’s best games, Henrik Zetterberg continuing his hot streak, Darren Helm finding some finish and Brendan Smith showing why he may never play in Grand Rapids again, it makes for a pretty gutsy win.
Well sh*t…
Saw that coming. Wake the f*ck up guys!
