Mike Babcock did his equivalent of tearing his team a new one in the press today. You're not gonna get any argument from me.
It looks like the Wings will use the same lineup they lost in Boston with, save for Chris Osgood getting the start. Hopefully that's not a pun.
Tomas Holmstrom and Chris Chelios practiced but will not return tonight, instead aiming for Thursday.
Anaheim's starting goalie is unknown. Jonas Hiller has filled in remarkably for Jean-Sebastien Giguere but faced a heavy workload last night in Raleigh. Giguere has been on the ice only once in the last week, having had to left the team to deal with a family issue.
You're f*cking kidding me. Saturday Kronner gets stripped of the puck in the corner, tonight Stuart loses it behind the net.
Jesus, the Wings just had some glorious chances. They've gotta convert on those. At least they get the PP now.
Moen with the cheap shot to end the period. Surprise.
After Huds hit the post, I was sure the Ducks would score before the end of the period.
Vastly outshooting the Ducks, but hardly any of those shots are coming from in the slot. And without Holmstrom, the shots from the point just seem too easy for Giguere.
Tied up, bitches. That had to have been tipped, finally a shot with traffic in front.
Franzen with the tip?
Yep, that's J.M.F. Franzen making an appearance.
Finally! Franzen strikes again!
Mickey calls out the fans, nice.
Boooyaaa!!
Evening. Listening in on Red Wings radio in Ft Still, OK tonight.
Will be out here until 20 Dec
Might try to catch a Stars or a Ft. Worth Ice Bats game while I'm out here.
By the radio, it sounds like the Wings have been all over the quacks this period.
Uhm, why did the goalies get switched? =/ Giguere was doing a fine job in my opinion. >.>
(had the tv muted during intermission)
Hossa gets a goal 2 minutes in.
Oh yeah Hossa!
Just landed a ticket for Friday's game in Dallas vs THE WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Giguere out because of "dehydration." Fine by me so far. 
Knew the cheap call on the Wings was coming ever since they pulled ahead.
Thank you, Chrissy.
Lame call though.
Edit: On replay, not so lame.
Ducks are turning it back on. I'm holding my breath more than I should.
Is it my connection here or is anyone else getting their log-in bumped?
Anywho, I go to see the Wings in Dallas this Friday and the following weekend, I might go up to Oklahoma City to catch a few CHL games.
Fingers crossed, fighting the urge to close my eyes for 63 seconds.
And the Wings hold on to win!
Ducks were very tired after playing last night, it showed. Wings played a good game but still could've lost it easily. Score was closer than it should've been, still got the win though. Cleary is focused, good to have him back after injury. Holmstrom and Chelios are coming back soon, Chelios thinking of going to Griffins for a few? Howe did play one game for the Vipers in the 90's so I don't think Chelios would be oldest to play.
The Vipers were IHL which folded and some teams merged to the AHL...Chelli would still be oldest in the AHL.
