I'm sick and it's a late game tonight, all the makings of some fun.
Jimmy Howard gets back to back starts as the Red Wings visit the Canucks. That's the first time this has happened all season, as the only other time the Wings even played on consecutive nights Howard started against Anaheim to open the season and Chris Osgood got the nod against the Blackhawks the next night.
Drew Miller will be back in the lineup with no word on who the odd man out will be. Khan suggests Patrick Eaves but with Mike Babcock's comments about missing Miller in the PK role last night (a role Eaves also fills) I wouldn't be shocked if Hudler is back in the press box.
Other than that, it's been a quiet day.
Vancouver's first power play better than Detroit's. Not much of a surprise, unfortunately.
Edit: Zero shots on it? Didn't look that way to me.
f*cking lazy, no one on Sedin and no one going after the puck behind the net. Everyone standing around.
I won't be surprised if this comes back but I think it's a good goal.
Way to jump up there, Kronner!
That should have been cleared. Wings getting killed by their mistakes.
Not much of a fight.
A Pavs giveaway while Lidstrom had jumped up and out of position. What are the chances?
This game is a little bit of a rollercoaster.
Wow. Tied it back up.
And what the f*ck is Luongo bitching about? He complained about the last goal, too, even though he was looking the wrong way.
Holy sh*t, Kronner. That's two.
Ken mentions the Wings changing right then but I don't like the rebound and I don't like the coverage. Like Mickey says. Goddammit.
Great pass by Miller and great stop by Luongo.
Why can't our goalie steal one tonight?
Another broken-ass play, but another one where Jimmy didn't control the rebound.
Lidstrom is -3 tonight. That says alot.
Lidstrom is -3 tonight. That says alot.
Agreed. As Mickey said, not often the Wings give up 23 shots in a period. What a way for a game to unravel although I liked Kronner netting two of the four goals!
The biggest thing to me, though (and I feel like I'm going to get killed for saying this), was that Jimmy Howard didn't make a "big" stop when it was needed.
I echo your thoughts as that is usually his biggest downfall. Those are the saves where he has to come up big. We all know that key saves can be just as big as a fight to get your team going or the difference between getting two and getting nothing in terms of points.
That third line needs to get going as well.
