In lieu of a real game thread, I figured anyone that shows up tonight can use this.

So far, the Wings are looking decent, but a little slow.  The talent difference is glaring.  Even Mursak is getting respect from the Islanders D.  Also, damn he's got some jets.

2 PP's for Detroit thus far vs. 1 for the Isles.

MUUUUUUUUULE!

And wow...Lids knocked the puck into his own net.  That's unfortunate.

Update: 3rd period; nobody's here...damn.  This ended up being a (lousy) live blog of the game.  Hope y'all had a fabulous New Years all the same, OT loss be damned.
