PrintCalgary Flames at Detroit Red Wings, Nov 27, 2009 6:00 PM CST
Calgary comes to Joe Louis Arena with a 6-2-2 record in the last 10 games while Detroit limps in with a 5-4-1 during that same stretch. Last time Detroit and Calgary faced off, Detroit came away with a 3-1 victory in Calgary, with goals from Holmstrom, Stuart, and Maltby.
Calgary is lead offensively by Jarome Iginla (16 G, 7 A) and Rene Bourque (7 G, 14 A) and tightened up defensively this past off-season by adding Jay Bouwmeester. Bourque is likely to sit out following an injury and Miika Kiprusoff is scheduled to start in net for the Flames. Kipper is 13-5 with a 2.49 GAA, stopping close to 92% of the shots faced. Chris Osgood is scheduled to start in net for the Wings who will need a sound defensive game following the injury to Niklas Kronwall. Patrick Eaves is in, Brad May out; rest of the lines after the jump.
What to look for: Detroit needs to take as many shots as possible. This Calgary team has one of the better netminders in the league and to get shut out by Andrej Pavelec on 40 shots, they'll need even more firepower against Kipper. Detroit will need offense out of Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, and Tomas Holmstrom against a tough Calgary defense.
The puck will drop at 7:00 p.m. ET and the game will air on FS-D and SNET-W. As always, GO WINGS!

It wouldn't be a Red Wings game
If they didn’t start down 1-0

last year
we could afford that, this year not so much

i have center ice
but it’s listed on the NHL website as being RDS and SNET-W so may not be a local feed??
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 6:14 PM CST up reply actions
Absolutely
I love them even if they don’t, but they’re due. And I assume Patrick Eaves wants to stay in the lineup.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 6:27 PM CST up reply actions
Agreed
I don’t want to sound like I’m questioning Babcock, but his scratches have been odd all season. Like Helm and Abdelkader have been healthy scratches at least once, Kirk Maltby a handful of times and he was – at the time – leading the team in goals scored. Yet, Todd Bertuzzi’s played in every game.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 6:33 PM CST up reply actions
Brett Hull
That’s an allowable goal, thanks to 1999.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 6:35 PM CST reply actions
I don't understand
why Mike Babcock doesn’t go coo-coo-bananas when these obvious blown goal calls. Yeah, it looks ridiculous and desperate, but it would certainly shed light on some of these equally ridiculous and desperate attempts to derail the Red Wings. The tin foil hat society would grow.

Nice pass, Ozzie
That one falls under my twenty grand rule.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 6:40 PM CST reply actions
for stupid plays?
Also, does this $20k go to me?
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 6:41 PM CST up reply actions
The $20G Rule
It originated when Dominik Hasek would go for a swim attempting to play the puck. He loved to get involved, but he was AWFUL at it. I used to wish that Ken Holland would fine him $20,000 every time he left the net to play the puck. It’s not enough to deter him from doing it ALTOGETHER, but he’d certainly have to think when the right time was.
As time went on, the rule expanded to include Chris Osgood, who – despite his goal against Hartford in 1872 – is also a terrible puck-handler.
This season, Todd Bertuzzi’s spin-o-rama passes to nowhere is the newest fine-able offense.
I don’t care where the cash goes, as long as it is actually removed from the player. You’re welcome to it. Or you can split it with me if you’re feeling generous.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 6:44 PM CST up reply actions
ah yes, now i remember
1872, also the year VT was founded.

Osgood behind the net, with traffic
Twenty grand.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 7:09 PM CST reply actions
i think it should double
so $40 grand for that and then $80 grand for the next
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 7:10 PM CST up reply actions
Excellent addition
It’s under advisement. So far we’re up to $80 ,then.
Osgood 1- 20
Osgood 2- 40
Bertuzzi 1- 20

Twenty grand.

they should have conditional contracts
but not like if you get so many points you get a bonus, but if you dont meet a minimum you have to pay something
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 7:12 PM CST up reply actions
HA
Bertuzzi. Base salary $1.5M
30-goal bonus $250,000
Sub-10 goal fine $150,000
Suddenly, it’s slightly more bearable.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 7:13 PM CST up reply actions
yup!
it would be like a career average basis and then a certain amount of points subtracted in the event of a slump year.

Good luck with that, Cap Doctors.

“doping materials found in race walker’s home” really? you had to cheat at race walking?
It's not a sport if you can't cheat.

Doesn't work both ways...
Just because you can cheat doesn’t make it a sport. I.E. poker.

Weather in WV?
Wind is WHIPPING here in New York. Chunks of our parking lot’s new top layer are blowing all over the place. I’m going to raise hell if any of it comes near my car.

Incorrect information regarding Dave Moss
He spent all four years at Catholic Central. He only played hockey for three of them (making that hockey team is ridiculously hard and freshmen RARELY are given a second look). He was one of three sophomores when we were sophomores. I was not one of the others. HA

haha
makes you sound like a stalker…or just a former classmate
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 7:34 PM CST up reply actions
I mean...
I definitely sat next to him for four years in homeroom, so… he was there. HA
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 7:35 PM CST up reply actions
that continues my notion of stalker
sat next to him for four years huh?

They went alphabetical
My school was like prison in that respect. The guy behind you was immediately after you in alphabetical order. Apparently the distance between MOS and PET was however many seats there were in a column. HA
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 7:38 PM CST up reply actions
haha understandable
we were alphabetical too.
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 7:40 PM CST up reply actions
Uh oh.
Ville Leino wants NOTHING to do with shooting. He was desperate to get rid of that puck a second ago.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 7:36 PM CST reply actions
whatthe hell happened to him?
last year he was dynamite in the few regular season games he had, this year squat!
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 7:39 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah. I don't know.
4 goals and 5 assists in 13 games as a call-up.
3 goals and 2 assists in 22 games this season.

We’re owed 80 grand…

Mike is all over the Bertuzzi hatewagon
and I am starting to come on board pretty fast.

Bertuzzi
I’ve been captain of that hate brigade since the first go-around in Detroit. If you remember correctly, he sucked donkey nards then, too.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 8:00 PM CST up reply actions
and how does leino go from grand rapids one year to our top lines and power playthe next?? ridiculous
Bring Tatar up
he’d do just as good or better than Leino is doing right now

He was promised...
He wouldn’t re-sign unless he was promised Detroit all season. He was unhappy being sent down last year.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 8:04 PM CST up reply actions
And to be honest.....
He’s the kind of player that SHOULD be scoring goals, especially on the PP.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 8:05 PM CST up reply actions
Well fellas, this blows.
Osgood well off his angle/beautiful shot by Jokinen/our team playing like an ECHL team
HOLY SHIT - SURPRISE SURPRISE!
Todd Bertuzzi with an unnecessary offensive zone penalty??! No!

They were talking 2-year extension on Wednesday...
It sounded like Ken Daniels knew more than he could spill.

woopsies.
I mean i hope he’s back, i’m just saying that suck if this was it for him.
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 8:16 PM CST up reply actions
Yup.
He deserves better than this. But, he’s gotta pull an Yzerman and – as captain – motivate the guys to want to whoop some ass. If not with him, then FOR him.
by Michael Petrella on Nov 27, 2009 8:18 PM CST up reply actions
So...
we kind of suck. I hate to use injuries as an excuse but when its that many and to that many big parts of the team, i think its a valid one.
Well...off to write the recap
with the way Kipper’s playing. This is ovah. Enjoyed talking with you’se guys. If something happens i’ll come back of course
Something needs to change with this team. Things are just way to stale. There power play tries the same things every time. Point shots. What does the other team do to react… Block shots. The Wings are just too predictable right now. I like Babcock as a coach, but right now they need a change. They need a different system. Surprisingly, Outshooting teams 40-20 just isn’t working.
They just don’t have the finishers to play the way they have in the past. I wasn’t able to watch this game, but the storyline seems to be the same. A lot of outside shots for Detroit and 3 or 4 glorious chances for the other team which gives them enough to win. Losing three games in a row by a total score of 8-1, but outshooting the opponents 111-67, and getting hundreds of shots blocked too. Something is wrong here. The shots are just not of good quality.
Goalie
Why do the wings not start Jimmy Howard,he played quite nicely
while ozzie was on sick leave?I think they need to sit him again he’s giving up
way to many soft(easy goals)
wondering the same thing BUT
it doesn’t matter all that much when you get 0 in your own goal column.
