The Red Wings aren't changing a damned thing going into Game Two against Columbus tonight. Their message has pretty much been "Don't come out flat like Thursday and we're fine."
The Blue Jackets, on the other hand, are already changing things up. What they're changing is double-secret, as Ken Hitchcock won't confirm anything. Supposedly Derek Dorsett is being inserted into the lineup. We'll see.
The Freep (via Malik) had this blurb on the über-secret Columbus lineup...
The Blue Jackets put a towel over the lineup they posted on the wall in their locker room at Joe Louis Arena.
Yeah, they're focused on the important stuff alright. Of course, this is a team coached by a guy who'd rather complain about the Wings cheating on faceoffs than figure out why his team only had two shots in the third period Thursday.
For the record, tonight it's one of my Osgood jerseys. The black fashion jersey, version 1.0 from back in 1996.
Early penalty, what a surprise.
10 seconds in...you serious? :c
I'm feeling great about tonight's game, maybe it's the beautiful weather?
Amazed there was no call on the break by Hossa.
The last minute looked like my gym class playing floor hockey last year, hahahaha.
Power play goal! Another tip?
Yep, another tip. And what a screen by Homer.
It hit Tyutin's stick. Get in.
Raffy! 
That's cool those guys are getting fund raisers through the Red Wings.
Someone threw a gloved punch there. Chickensh*t.
Our favorite interview again
Solid first period, good D and a couple really nice saves by Ozzie.
Mason (of course) looks great at the other end. It'd be nice to beat him without a deflection just to get at him.
Our favorite interview again
Funny thing about Mickey complaining about the media there is that it was FSN's own John Keating who asked the question.
Huge defensive play by Stuart.
Dorsett's a bitch and the refs are too pansy-ass to call him for those punches.
Who was the defenseman who missed coverage on Chimera?
What a feed! 2-0!
They should do statistics on how many times a person was interviewed on Red Wings Live and scores later on
Datsyuk doesn't miss those.
How did that dude have two sticks? LMAO.
TV timeout. That was a crazy-ass run right there. Pressure at each end, two sticks for Voracek, none for Osgood. Crazy.
Surprise, Murph says the other team did nothing wrong.
Zata, motherf*ckers! Goal-scorer's goal!
I am digging this game right now
Great saves by Osgood. And they should leave Datsyuk alone!
Top shelf. It just gets better and better.
Goal-mouth scramble, Ozzie keeps it out. He's a f*cking pimp right now.
Chipy end to the period. Lets close this bitch out, it makes me nervous.
Oompa Loompa with an assload of deflections into the net!
Still nervous?
Go Hudler!
Hudler's likin' these playoffs.
Still nervous?
Yes. Playoffs are too important not to be nervous.
Wiiiiiiinnnngggs on the powwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
I wish I had one of those voice changers so I could annoy people by doing that!
Habs game just started! Caught a glimpse of Schneider playing during the commercial break <3 I hope they win tonight!
Liklihood that any of these guys get suspended for "sending messages" like Carcillo was in Philly? I say not a chance.
"Get yourself a sandwich and some coffee!" Hahaha. I think FSN has the best commentators ever!
Datsyik dangle dangles, and Commodore's nightshift is over as he gets frustrated.
Love hearing the Ozzie chants.
Series GAA…
Mason: 4.00
Osgood: 0.50
Two down.
What a kickass game! <3
I didn't mind Maltby getting pushed around at the end, either!
Weak link? What weak link?
For the record, tonight it's one of my Osgood jerseys. The black fashion jersey, version 1.0 from back in 1996.
Looks like that was the right call.
