Thrashing Winnipeg: Red Wings 7 - Jets 1

Well that was fun.

Other than the first 35 seconds of the game, this one was all Red Wings.

The Jets scored first and scored fast when Bryan Little netted a backhander right out of the gate. The Wings responded with a Todd Bertuzzi goal six minutes later and then responded again and again and again and again and again and again.

This game really belonged to the entire Wings team. 14 players registered a point tonight Pavel Datsyuk, Jiri Hudler, Valtteri Filppula, Johan Franzen, Todd Bertuzzi, and Henrik Zetterberg all registered two points on the night. Justin Abdelkader, Tomas Holmstrom, Jonathan Ericsson, and Jakub Kindl were the only skaters left off the scoresheet. It was a complete team effort.

Chris Conner scored his first goal as a Red Wings. His shot deflected off a Winnipeg stick and then a Winnipeg defensemen before finding the back of the net. Conner has really fit in well in his few games up with the big club. His speed along with Helm has done some damage on the forecheck and the cycle and that was evident tonight. Danny Cleary is a nice fit with them especially when he reverts to his grinding ability and doesn't try to be a goal scorer. It's hard working line. J.J.'s man-crush Drew Miller also scored tonight.

Jimmy Howard stopped 29 of 30 shots and will see his GAA go down and his SV% go up. #VoteJimmah.

Overall, the Wings probably didn't play as well as the score indicated, but by no means did they play bad. They deserved to win this game. The Season of Streaks continues as the Wings have now won two-in-a-row. They're off until Tuesday and have plenty of time to get some rest before traveling to Pittsburgh to take on the possible Crosby-less Penguins.

Let's Go Red Wings.

If we keep seeing the Hudler we had tonight...

I vote we change his nickname from ‘happy’ to ‘hitman’

Vote for Other

as much as the posted players were great tonight.

My vote is for Zetterberg he was making it happen all over the ice tonight (besides one brutal give away)

Hudler POTG

11 points in the last 10 if I’m adding to the FSD stat correctly

Haha

I was remarking earlier that one of our predictors missed getting points because they gave the Jets too much credit.

actually, sort of.

But they potted one more and cruised to a fairly easy and injury free victory. Which is all you can ask for most days.

The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer

Hudler?

Didn’t we trade im for a sack of pucks?

I'm pretty sure we couldn't get actual pucks

so they gave us a sack of potatoes. We still use them in warmup anyway. A properly aimed slapshot to Jimmah’s blocker, and you’ve got yourself some delicious mashed Hud-taters.

If it were to the blocker

wouldn’t they be waffle fries?
