Game Thread: Devils at Red Wings – 12/22
Finally!!!!! Up and running!
Oh Smitty, that was kinda nice. From now on, that’s how you jump into the play.
There we go!
Oh, yeah, that was some great patience by Abdelkader on the pass.
true
What, exactly, was Clowe arguing there. Pretty obvious penalty.
Is Quincey hurt?
Oh, but they saw that one.
You know they’re going to score on this. Of course they are.
Wow, refs are certainly getting creative behind that net.
Miss the call when Alfie gets high-sticked, aren’t the make-up calls supposed to be in Detroit’s favor?
Helm announced out for the night and the Devils score to tie it at the same time. Coincidence?
Two goals that quick whistles would have prevented.
And remember why the Devils were on the power play there.
Crap
What happened to Helm?
The Devils have scored all the goals since Daniel Alfredsson lost a few teeth.
Smartassery aside, Wings have looked like they’re chasing all through the third period.
I just can’t imagine playing hockey after having two or more teeth knocked out…..
It can be painful sometimes…
And I didn’t realize how much I don’t like the devils….
Relax, Franzen’s got this.
Mein Gott, I love this version of Franzen. More of this.
HA!!!!! Mule!
Giving the goal to Bertuzzi now, who’s also playing like he never wants to be scratched again.
Sigh.
Drat.
damnit
Couldn’t even gain the zone properly at the end. Ugh. Awful third period.
Well, that was heartbreaking but not entirely unexpected.
Detroit spent the entire third period running around looking lost, aside from the power play on which they scored their third goal. It was like after Daniel Alfredsson lost his teeth, so did the Red Wings.
Some things were good on the night. Johan Franzen is playing like a man possessed. Todd Bertuzzi looked good. Brendan Smith really did make a smart play to jump up on Detroit’s second goal.
Many things weren’t good, though, and those stick out. Two goals against due to defensive miscues and another due to the ridiculously bad break of Jonathan Ericsson knocking the puck out of Jimmy Howard’s glove. The game-winner was the only goal that wasn’t entirely set up by a Detroit failure.
In all, the bad outweighed the good. It was a pretty ugly effort and the Wings probably didn’t deserve to win.
And as I mentioned on Twitter, this marks the Red Wings’ first-ever regulation loss at Prudential Center.
Aww damn, that was quick.
Brutal miscue by Ericsson, should have been able to poke that away.
Good goal but a quick whistle would have been nice there.
