Overtime Thread: Red Wings at Penguins

PrintContinuing the SB Nation Hockey game threads trying to raise money for Haiti, we're hosting Hockeytown for Haiti today during the game. The disaster is hard to summarize adequately other than absolute devastation and destruction to a nation that already had more than its share of problems. Join us in an effort to raise some money to go towards repairs and food for Haiti.
Please read the following before commenting:
How does this thread work?
- For ever comment (that is relevant and not just a letter) Winging It will donate $0.05 to Haiti Relief fund. Our cap is 7,000 comments right now. You do not have to pay to comment at all, commenting is free. The money comes from our pockets. If you would like to contribute, see below.
- We will be donating the money to the American Red Cross following the completion of the event.
- Spread the word of the thread to those that you think would be interested. The more comments the better.
- If you would like to donate, contact me by e-mail at mrnorristrophy[at]gmail[dot]com . No donation is too small and we appreciate everything that you can contribute as we try to help the people of Haiti recover from the destruction caused by the earthquake and the aftershocks.
- We have a PayPal set up so you don't have to worry about giving a stranger your personal finances.
- If you would prefer to donate to the Red Cross directly, you can do so here. If you donate directly, please let us know so we can have you on our list of donors and the thank you post.
- Play nice. We've got folks coming from Abel 2 Yzerman, some other Wings blogs, and PensBurgh has us linked so we're likely to have fans of both teams in here. I'd hope that you all respect each other given the situation and the cause for the thread.
- Enjoy the game. Too often we take sports too seriously and an event like that in Haiti is kind of an eye opener in terms of what's important.
We will open overflow game threads as necessary so if you feel things start to slow down on your thread, speak up.

NBC realized that Detroit has a chance to win so they should start backing them now. Gotta support the winners.

just think how bad it would be if there was a skills competition in the playoffs
I would shoot someone. Not sure who, but someone.

this is such the wrong attitude right now. we keep leaving easy points on the board. we are boned come april if this keeps up

yea i kno it is a terrible approach
we need to start winning games but a game like today where we got outplayed big time it was good to grab a point on the road against one of the best teams in hockey…but yes winning games is obviously the key

But as a fan, there’s only so much to be gained by being pissed at the team for failing to get the 2nd point.

That was slick by Malkin
If Howard had stretched any more, he would have been out a month with a torn groin

um...
the two guys that scored were pretty good
by Casey Richey on Jan 31, 2010 2:12 PM CST up reply actions
im not ragging on the guy, he’s the only reason we are where we are right now, but man, against chicago, we had it won twice and he just backed into his net. hes way way too timid against the shooter.
by eight_legged_freaks on Jan 31, 2010 2:13 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah…I would not exactly hang this shootout loss on Howard. But he definitely needs to work on his shootout skills.
to the exclusion of his skills that actually win games when there is hockey being played?
That bugs me the most about shootouts – they change the rules partway through the game. It’s like playing a made-up game with a toddler where he keeps changing the rules so you can’t win.

Don't say that, Howie got us a point today.

Howard first star with a bullet.
Two sick moves by Crosby and Malkin. Credit where due.
Howard got you guys a point, and every one of those is huge just now.

Ladies and gentlemen.
It’s been a pleasure today. Terrible outcome, an otherwise exciting game (minus the one-sidedness). Thank you for taking the time to hang out with us today, and doing something great.
Penguins fans, thank you for coming, being good sports, and staying classy. You’re always welcome, I’m sure.

hey, what just happened in the last three innings?
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
//sigh//
Still waiting for the Red Wings of ‘ol – puck posession offense, shut down defense.
It just seems they don’t have their swagger, the confidence to dominate & close.
Still putting the pieces back together before the playoffs.
Skill is there.
Desire is there.
Chemistry coming.

Tuff Lost
By 1 goal in a shhootout. Can’t belive it. Good game for a fan though kept me on the edge of my seat. Need to step it up before playoffs or good luck making it.
