Calgary 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!

Good PK
Few quality chances with a good contribution from Zetterberg

I hope the speed line gets some points tonight
by Fiend on Nov 27, 2009 6:26 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Absolutely
I love them even if they don’t, but they’re due. And I assume Patrick Eaves wants to stay in the lineup.

Yea i agree...
and i think eaves was the wrong man to scratch, i really like him and helm lately
by Fiend on Nov 27, 2009 6:32 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
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.

Brett Hull
That’s an allowable goal, thanks to 1999.

by Fiend on Nov 27, 2009 6:38 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
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.

for stupid plays?
Also, does this $20k go to me?
by Casey Richey on Nov 27, 2009 6:41 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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 mpetrella on Nov 27, 2009 6:44 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
ah yes, now i remember
1872, also the year VT was founded.

It’s under advisement. So far we’re up to $80 ,then.

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 0 recs
HA
Bertuzzi. Base salary $1.5M
30-goal bonus $250,000
Sub-10 goal fine $150,000
Suddenly, it’s slightly more bearable.
by mpetrella on Nov 27, 2009 7:13 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
yup!
it would be like a career average basis and then a certain amount of points subtracted in the event of a slump year.

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

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

we were alphabetical too.

He was promised...
He wouldn’t re-sign unless he was promised Detroit all season. He was unhappy being sent down last year.

And to be honest.....
He’s the kind of player that SHOULD be scoring goals, especially on the PP.

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.
by dewman8810 on Nov 27, 2009 8:27 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Totally agree
shots from the blue line is all we got.
talk to ya next time take care guys
by Fiend on Nov 27, 2009 8:31 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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.
