Two goals five seconds apart in the second followed by a shorthanded goal from birthday boy Valtteri Filppula put the Red Wings up 3-2 heading into the third period of play.
Daniel Sedin ties the game early in the third at 3-3 off a high pass that he puts on the ground and across the ice.

I just think it’s hilarious. This is some of the most fun around a game that I’ve had in a while.

Speaking of that, why is there such a delay?
If I wasn’t on Twitter, and didn’t know to come here, I’d never be on game threads. I get the updates the next morning on Facebook

yeah i have no idea
it makes me kind of pissed. i woke up this morning to see the morning skate and game thread…really helpful (sarcasm) when you try to drive traffic via facebook.

I just kind of ignore the WIM updates on Facebook anyway
Between Twitter and checking here regularly anyway, I don’t really need it, I’m just fanned on there to drive up the numbers, but other people might just check there, so i was just curious

Sleazy goal to tie it up. Canucks have been getting all the chances, though, had to get a bounce sooner or later.

The Penguins game is the last game for H2H pledges. But rest assured TPL will do a pledge drive again. Maybe not til next season, but it’ll happen

anteater side effect
Normally I split time (if I am online during the game) between here and A2Y because I have friends both places. I have completely abandoned them because I’ve been giggling too much about the anteater mania.

when Datsyuk passes
It’s like the opposing players aren’t even there, they back off and give him so much space to avoid looking silly.

That series of dangles Datsyuk made to draw the penalty was something to behold. Too bad his backhand just missed the post.

If I’m not mistaken, NHL rules make it so that he HAS to get on the ice for at least one shift if he’s dressed.

If he’s dressed why not play him

He could give the other guys a rest once in a while, at least.

Yeah, totally
I think he’s better than Meech and Ericsson put together… I have no idea why he’s glued to the pine.

He's actually been playing defense lately.

Seriously, Ericsson has been pretty bad tonight.

He certainly hasn't been fantastic enough to guarantee Lebda a spot on the bench
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are-Teddy Roosevelt
I bet it has something to do with the other two’s “ability” to play forward. Ericsson being a natural center and Meech dressing as a forward for a half dozen games in his NHL career…

Jason Williams
Because he doesn’t do anything really exceptionally well, he’s just kind of a plain player – like boring vanilla, so he was dubbed “Jason Vanilla” (it’s no Horcov, but makes sense to us). :)
