| Time: |
7:30 p.m. ET |
TV: | FS-Detroit |
Last time these two teams met, Henrik Zetterberg netted 3 goals en route to a 7-4 Red Wings win. Zetterberg's three gave not only everyone free curly fries but the Red Wings their third straight victory. But that was then, this is now. Detroit's cooled off from its short hot streak and encountered even more injuries. Forward Dan Cleary is out of tonight's game following a separated shoulder and the Wings are starting all available players.
The Wings could use a win tonight against the West's worst team and a win would vault them over idle Columbus for third in the division. But then again, nothing is certain when you take on Ryan Getzlaf, Scott Niedermayer and the physical Ducks team.
Ducks down:
Teemu Selanne's broken hand keeps him out tonight and for 4-6 additonal weeks following surgery.
Wings out:
Join us for the live game thread for what will surely be a heated battle between long time rivals tonight at The Joe.

Is Howard starting again tonight? I hope so.

Yes
Howard is the starter tonight. Not sure on the Anaheim side though.

yeah i assumed Jonas is starting
could be wrong.

Hiller is likely
Though, he’s the only goalie not confirmed for all of tonight’s games: http://www.leftwinglock.com/2009/12/11/starting-goalies-dec-11-2/#more-1543

Lidstrom and Leino. Then bonus goals from Z and Helm.

The nearest one is just over SEVEN miles from me. Which, in New York miles, is like a three day journey.

If it’s not mom-and-pop, they boycott the shit out of it. I had to drive to Connecticut for Arby’s after the last Ducks game…

Datsyuk's shot just wide on a minibreakout

Clock issue at the Joe
And apparently, the FSN clock is hard-wired to it. Because it’s 1935.

Goddamnit, Bertuzzi.

Big Rig with the great save. no way that’s a goal. I still trust the War Room in Toronto make the right call.

Ericsson clears the puck and it doesn't go over
does it warrant an overturned call?

Off Topic: not going to lie, this Lady GaGa song is catchy as hell. I’m comfortable as a 23 year old male to say that.

Sir.
You have my respect. I try to hide my quasi-admiration for some of that stuff. It’s too bad she’s such a goddamn weirdo, but some of that stuff is catchy as HELL.
by mpetrella on Dec 11, 2009 7:21 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Haha, she is a nutjob for sure. But whoever writes her music for her writes some catchy-ass tunes. I don’t own anything by her, nor have anything of hers on my computer, but when it’s on the radio or tv or whatever, I hum along. Shit’s just catchy.

Actually
She was a very accomplished songwriter for other artists before writing her own music. She’s legitimately one of the musical talents of the generation, disguised as a friggin weirdo who makes only halfway decent music (compared to her very impressive education).
by mpetrella on Dec 11, 2009 7:29 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Iiiiiinteresting. I did not know that. Well, besides the complete weirdness that is her …. everything else, she’s got some catchy music. Good to know.

When I first saw her, I thought it was a joke.
So I looked her up, thinking it was just some stupid gimmick on TV. But she was granted early admission to Tisch (which is a huge deal), and wrote all these songs I’d heard of (didn’t like, but was familiar with), all while a teenager and woman in her early-20’s.
I still think she’s a farce, but anyone that claims she’s not uber-talented is blind. Not deaf, because it sounds ridiculous, but the talent’s there. It’s just hidden behind 80’s glasses and stupid makeup and pretension.

Wow, that’s cool. I’ll have to look up what songs she’s written.

No goal! weee
now that is a legit goal call off
by Casey Richey on Dec 11, 2009 7:19 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
So wait a second....
If the call was to be on the Ducks, what difference would the potential goal call have made? It means they would have had to touch the puck, thus stopping play…
by mpetrella on Dec 11, 2009 7:22 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
but you can still score on yourself and it looked like the last jumbles were from Wings
by Casey Richey on Dec 11, 2009 7:23 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
(yes jumbles)
and i think the call came after the last Duck touched it

What a nightmare
Imagine if that puck had crossed the line, the outrage it would have borne.
