Boston Bruins at Detroit Red Wings, Nov 3, 2009 6:00 PM CST
The Wings return to the Joe from the road trip on a good note following the win over Calgary. As if facing Ilya Bryzgalov, Roberto Luongo, Craig Anderson, and Miikka Kiprusoff weren't enough, the Wings get the defending Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas to shoot at tonight. Thomas also benefits from a good defense around him to help keep shots to the outside. Although the offense isn't nearly as potent this year as last year, the Bruins still have undeniable talent and much like the Red Wings are trying to simply coordinate it all in an effective manner.
Two teams on the relatively same page in terms of dominance last year and sputtering thus far this year are realizing the points are going to be precious this year. Should be a hard fought game with lots of effort from both sides.
What to look for: The physicality of Boston versus the injured/sick Red Wings. I'm looking forward to watching Pavel Datsyuk versus Zdeno Chara. Will Tomas Holmstrom continue on his offensive resurgence?
Puck drops at 7 p.m. ET and will air on Versus or TSN. As always, GO WINGS!

FIRISTSZZZ!!!1
Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch the game because I have DirecTV… Hopefully I can find a stream that stays up for more than 1 period. They’ve really been cracking down on them now, I use to be able to find 3 or 4 every Wings game last season.

Wow what saves by Ozzie
Sturm stopped twice. Two close calls but Ozzie saves the first and gets a lucky bounce off the post.

Wings to the Power Play
Hooking call brings Detroit their first man advantage of the game.

Well...
that was quick. Zetterberg rips the shot past Thomas for a 1-0 Detroit lead, 2 seconds into the power play

Kessel rocked
Wow, Kessel’s debut in Toronto didn’t look to fun. Ouch.

I didn't realize he was coming back this soon
That hit probably gave the crew over at PPP a heart attack

20 saves, less than halfway through the game?
This isn’t the Red Wings defense we used to know….

Bertuzzi to the box for holding
weak in my opinion but i’m obviously biased

good penalty, bad power play.

Another good PK
That time, a lot more pressure to deal with but 0 shots in the net is a good sign.

Kronwall with a good offensive chance
Then takes an accidental high stick to give the Red Wings another power play.
by Casey Richey on Nov 3, 2009 8:09 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Decent chances on the powerplay
best part is that 2 minutes are gone off the clock as a result.

Wideman's hipcheck...
…on Helm lands him in the box for interference but a Red Wings penalty for interference follows immediately.

Michael Ryder holds Zetterberg
4 on 3 powerplay, then even strength, then 5 on 4 powerplay.

Clearly Joe B of Versus...
…hasn’t payed that much attention to the Wings this year “This Red Wings team that is so proficient at locking up leads”….what?

Oh god...
I’m watching an online stream (the TSN version) and of course they have the “This is Sportscentre”.
I just crack up whenever I see that spelling.

Another Great Game
Just walked in from the Wings 2-0 victory. Osgood played very well. Kronwall hits anything that moves. Datsyuk played great.
