[Game Thread] Wings @ Coyotes
Detroit Red Wings at Phoenix Coyotes, Oct 22, 2009 9:00 PM CDT
The Red Wings kick off their five-game, 11-day road trip tonight in Phoenix against the Coyotes, who are off to a surprisingly hot 5-2-0 start. On the other hand, Detroit is having a rough go initially with a 3-3-1 record. A win tonight would extend the Coyotes to a four-game winning streak, while a win would snap a one-game losing skid for Detroit.
Star forward Pavel Datsyuk hopes to play tonight, but the decision has yet to be made definitively.
The Wings have struggled with maintaining a lead this season, allowing 3+ goals in a single period four times already this year. Not only will the offense have to play big against the stingy Phoenix defense, but the Wings' defense needs to be on guard as they hope to get off to a good start on this tough western road trip.
The puck is slated to drop at 10 p.m. EDT and will be televised on FSDetroit. Go Wings!

I did the opposite
And DIDN’T wear Red Wings gear. They’ve lost each time I’ve tried that this season.

Pretty sweet entrance
Love the views of the area. Completely different from what we normally see for the rest of NHL teams.
Bertuzzi making his case...
for Petrella’s Mikael Samuelsson award.
But I’d rather him fire on net i guess.
The stream is actually working this time
Woot!
In the grand scheme of things, the pain of life is not worth it.
Spoke to soon, pretty choppy :(
To bad NDsports didn’t have this one on.

Anyone have a different stream then the usream.tv one?

Thanks man
I found one that looks decent so far!
In the grand scheme of things, the pain of life is not worth it.
good deal
had to bite the bullet and get the package with my cable people because splitting bandwith with two roommates made it impossible.
haha so how’s your profile picture now that we have May?
by Casey Richey on Oct 22, 2009 9:25 PM CDT up reply actions
Lol, might have to change the profile pic
I’m thinking about purchasing center ice. I will probably get it within the next week or so, hopefully it pans out.
In the grand scheme of things, the pain of life is not worth it.
considering the amount of games i watch
its easily worth it.

Yahoo! is streaming the game tonight. Although if you are in Michigan it is probably blacked out. But here is the stream link: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/hockeynight/2009102224
they've been our best unit this year
in my opinion.

Not a very good period so far
Or from what I have been able to see anyways.

FYI
NHL.com has Red Wings desktop shots. Just slapped Dats up this afternoon. http://redwings.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=57904
Goal credited to Matthew Lombardi
3rd of the year from Adrian Aucoin and Shane Doan.
Power-play goal at 16:30
Anyone else notice...
That all season (last year, too) that the Wings get their powerplays sliced in two by intermissions?

Unless of course...
They score immediately.

by Casey Richey on Oct 22, 2009 9:44 PM CDT up reply actions
can someone let me know when it starts again?
I’m watching some stupid dvd for class and have to switch back and forth.
my opinions so far
I’m rather concerned about Lebda and Ericcson together. I’ve only seen them on the ice with Zetterberg and Datsyuk, so maybe my worry is unfounded.
Is it just me or does Leino seem especially weak with the puck this game so far?
Agreed
Leino has always looked weak on the puck compared to other NHLers, to me. I feel like he needed to get stronger, and I think he HAS because last year it was really noticeable.
by Michael Petrella on Oct 22, 2009 10:03 PM CDT up reply actions
haha yup
look how many jerseys are in the stands when they show the crowd.

C'mon we both know they aren't showing the crowd....hehe

OMG I am an idiot
Somehow accidentally clicked a link while watching the game and now when I try to get back to Yahoo’s stream it says its unavailable for my location even though I was watching it before and live in Saskatchewan. Damn me!
Try this again.
Here’s the link again http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/hockeynight/2009102224
Maybe it will work differently by clicking here….no idea.
Vernon Fiddler
Just doesn’t seem right that a guy named “VERN” no longer plays on Nashville.

What a pass!
Lebda jumps up andd it pays off (for once)
Great pass from Pav right through a small lane

No, ya know what...
I haven’t caught full games. I saw bits and pieces last night, but my buddy (who is a big time Nucks fan) is THRILLED with Samuelsson and says he’s been “counting” how many times he’s missed the net (because I made a big deal of it in July). He says twice.
TWICE!
Gimme a break. He’s missed the net more than that TONIGHT, on an off-night.

I'm kind of glad...
that Illy finally found a place to play as a starter. He’s fun to watch in net (as long as its not us)
Anyone see the Jeff Shultz goal
in the Thrashers/Caps game? scored from about his own faceoff circle
Nope.
And what happened in Ottawa? Apparently they scored with 1.6 seconds to go to tie the game.

Ken Daniels Fail
Of the “8 or 9” defensemen taken before Nick Lidstrom in 1989, JAMIE HEWARD is the one you’d know?
Sorry, Patrice Breisbois, Adam Foote, and Bob Boughner. Ken Daniels has deemed you irrelevant.
by Michael Petrella on Oct 22, 2009 11:12 PM CDT reply actions
Also
There were 18 defensemen taken before Nick.
All this is nine seconds of research.

Pellerin was one of those guys that i would somehow end up with like 10 of his hockey cards…

i found the goalies for our ECHL team
(somehow) and got them to sign them. One actually played for the Wings for a (very) brief amount of time. Dave Gagnon
Career record: 0-1-0 with a 10.29 GAA….see why i said very brief?

NHL 10 soundtrack in real arenas
Okay so i noticed last year and its apparently continuing this year that pretty much every song from the EA series has appeared in games in the real NHL. Anyone else notice this?
Anyone know anyone at the game? Would like to see some pictures from the upper deck.

Blow the frickin whistle
Wings are to blame though. Gotta get that out of the zone.

Totally Lebda's fault.
Blind pass in your defensive zone with under 3 minutes to go makes total sense.

That's true
But then he shit the bed in the final three minutes of the game. Again.
All I ask is that when he plays like ass, it’s acknowledged by the same people who praise him for elementary saves.
