The Red Wings continue their three-games-in-four-nights run with a matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. Last night the Red Wings blew out the Columbus Blue Jackets 9-1, with their first nine-goal team performance in two years. Niklas Kronwell had two goals and an assist, while Jimmy Howard made 25 saves

The Canucks come in having lost to the St. Louis Blues 6-1 on Tuesday night. They come into Joe Louis Arena to play the fourth of a five-game road trip. Henrik Sedin scored the lone Vancouver goal that night. His nine goals give him the team lead and puts him in a tie for 11th in the NHL. The Cancucks hold the fourth best power play in the NHL, with a 24% conversion rate. 

Detroit won the previous meeting between these two teams 5-4 on October 27. Pavel Datsuyk (who scored last night) had two goals that night.

The game is on FS Detroit in the US and on Canucks PPV in Vancouver. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 ET. I'll be chatting along below. Please join me!

Okay, I know no one can see this because it's a local spot to me...

…there’s a spot for some booze shop near me, and the open talks about using sexy women to sell liquor. “And we’ve got ’em!” And then they cut to these three women who are only attractive in that “15 minutes before last call and six drinks later” kind of way. As if no one had the heart to tell anyone “you know these women aren’t attractive.”

It looks like it. Unlike last night, the defense did him no favors.

by joehass on Nov 12, 2009 7:23 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

15 shots is inexcusable.

That said, I feel like they’re allowing the Canucks to take shots, but are clearing the rebounds a bit better than they have all season (minus last night, when they were also very good).

There are definitely more turnovers in the defensive zone and at the blueline, though.

What’s up boys? What happened in Columbus last night, way too put the foot in the very large mouth of Hitchcock as I will guarantee you that he’ll never utter the words “I want to make them bleed” ever again. Leaves Mason in for 8?
Goal by Zetterburgh looked exactly like Barker’s goal last night on Anderson. Pretty sweet I must say.

It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!

Overall on the season though?

It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!

I think these two game can be a turning point. He’s starting to look like an NHL starting goaltender…hadn’t seen that before.

surprisingly well

tonight and last night he’s played lights out (crosses fingers). In Sweden he looked horrible but i think he’s gaining some confidence

Boy is that Datsyuk a magician with the puck. It’s like it’s on a string.

he deked himself out, fell down, still had possession and got up with it still on his stick.

The Wings look like they’re desperate to finish them, and the Canucks are fighting hard in return.

LOL at the Canucks announcers. The Wings are good at winning games they shouldn’t. This coming from a team that gets outplayed and outshot on a consistant basis.

Drew Miller tonight...

10:19, 19 shifts, 1 shot, 1 hit, 1 blocked shot. A good night for his first as a Red Wing.

I would love to see

Bertuzzi vs. Burrows, it’d be like Mike Tyson vs. a ballerina

LOL! If Big Bert decides to tussle with him he’d better watch his hair.

Bertuzzi wouldn't fight Burrows.

Burrows is always looking in his direction. Bertuzzi knows you only attack from behind.

That’s wrong, just wrong. Yet funny nonetheless.

Is it just me or has Kronwall taken his game to another level?

DET GOAL: Kronwall EN (5) (Howard) 19:04

Hit the stantion, knuckled down the ice, and the 180-footer seals it up!

Kronwall should be a curler. Nice draw weight.
So long boys! We’ll meet again!

End of Period 3

Wings win it 3-1! A great performance by Jimmy Howard.

I’ll go one better: this is a turning point game. This is the kind of game that makes people take notice and go, “I think he’s ready for more.”

by joehass on Nov 12, 2009 9:11 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

i'll agree

Form wise, he’s much better than Osgood but just has some issues following the puck. Only way you can get better at that is full speed games so why not give him time?
