Game Thread: Capitals at Red Wings – 11/10
The Red Wings return home from their West Cost road trip down another man, as Darren Helm will miss four to six weeks with a second-degree MCL sprain. Gustav Nyquist is back up from Grand Rapids to replace him in the lineup tonight as the Wings host the Washington Capitals.
Nicklas Lidstrom practiced this morning but will not play tonight, still recovering from the deep bone bruise in his ankle. Johan Franzen and Joey MacDonald remain out, as do Patrick Eaves, Jonathan Ericsson, and Jakub Kindl.
As per Ansar Khan, the Wings will roll the following lines against the Caps:
Filppula – Zetterberg – Hudler
Nyquist – Datsyuk – Bertuzzi
Miller – Abdelkader – Cleary
Holmstrom – Emmerton – Mursak
Kronwall – Stuart
Quincey – White
Smith – Janik
Howard
Game time is 7:30 on FSD.
Caps making it look like the 80s again, with their alt jerseys.
Yep, this is the start we should expect from the Wings now it seems
And we get buttf*cked by another missed call in front of the net!
Life? That might be enough life to keep me interested for the rest of this one.
Let’s get at least one more…
I still say the refs are suspect.
Is this pee wee?
Your not waiving it off either!
Babs mixing up the lines… I like it although this should be a tie game.
I like that camera angle, is it new?
Now we get the PP!!!
I’m going to stand by the following Twitter exchange from early in the first period:

This “fight back in the third period after an awful first forty minutes” joke has got to stop. The Wings deserved to lose on a goal that should in no way have counted because it emphasizes the fact that they didn’t do enough to win. They haven’t for awhile now, so I’m not going to be mad about the outcome, just about the fact that they can’t seem to put together a full game.
Picking up where they left off last time they played the Caps.
Heh, holy hell, this game is a goddamned mess.
We have two periods to get them back… Go boys… Let’s do this!
Thank you KQ!!!!
