[Game Thread] Bruins @ Wings

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.

Little bit of a defensive shake-up from flu-bug related scratches

Forwards:
Bertuzzi-Datsyuk-Holmstrom
Cleary-Zetterberg-Williams
Draper-Helm-Eaves
Leino-Abdelkader-Maltby

Defense:
Lidstrom-Kronwall
Stuart-Lebda
Meech-Doug Janik

Janik called up today for the game.

Both sides hitting hard early.

Helm/Draper/Eaves creating some speed problems.

Stick deflects a very likely goal

Got absolutely smoked by a Bruin player.

Both teams really playing even more physical now.

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

2 mins in the box.

Followed by two quick chances at even strength

Hooking call brings Detroit their first man advantage of the game.

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

Thought Samuelsson was back in town for a second.

By Pavel Datsyuk to Tomas Holmstrom. Bertuzzi gets the secondary assist on Homer’s 8th goal of the year.

Definitely not over but starting to play well

Goals: Zetterberg, Holmstrom

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

Just gets a piece of those.

 on what suddenly turned into a 3 on 1 down low from out of nothing much

but the rare shot from the lead man stopped by Osgood.

This isn’t the Red Wings defense we used to know….

Ryder’s shot goes off the post for the Bruins.

Bruins to power play goal.

limited quality chances, good work on clearance too.

Takeaways: 4-2
Faceoffs: 24-18

PP: 0/2-1/1

weak in my opinion but i’m obviously biased

Echo, echo, echo.

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

Then takes an accidental high stick to give the Red Wings another power play.

best part is that 2 minutes are gone off the clock as a result.

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

4 on 3 powerplay, then even strength, then 5 on 4 powerplay.

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

Extra man and an empty net for the Bruins

Osgood with 29 saves and his 50th career shutout.

OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE!

Sorry to leave you talking to yourself Casey…sick today, could only concentrate on one shiny box at a time

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.

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