GDT: Game 28 | Detroit Red Wings @ Edmonton Oilers | 9:30 PM EST | FS-D

[Run the Jewels]

2 goals in 2 games for Fil. Both Filppula and Howard are making the case for nice new contracts.

Clearly on the ice with a extra man turn over

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Wow Flip, what a shot.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

He took it to the slot AND shot! A banner day for the Wings!

Turns out that is where most goals are scored at this level.

 

[YostisHome]

almost forgot what a goal looks like thanks fil

 

[Kronwalled55]

If we tie this game, I'll eat my hat.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Clearly on the ice with a extra man turn over

At least he didn't shoot the puck into our net.

 

[detredWINgs]

Kronwall blows with the point shot. He always has. He's only scoring goals if he's going down low.

 

[GT500x]

Nyquist plays with a different level of confidence and creativity down in GR. He dominates.

Here he plays afraid and with no confidence, which I tend to blame Babcock.

No, he plain old flat out loses puck battles like an inexperienced light weight. That's not a confidence issue.

 

[aar000n]

Quincy!!!!

Haven't you done enough hat eating lately?

 

[Filppula]

Flip wow!!

 

[FlashyG]

Here he plays afraid and with no confidence, which I tend to blame Babcock.

It would be nice to see Nyquist find that level of confidence in the NHL, other than his skating he hasn't done much to impress yet.

Has Tatar been playing with a new level of confidence since being sent back down?

 

[SoupGuru]

I swear to god, Kronwall waits until the defender blocks his shooting lane. If he has a clear lane, he waits, waits.... NOW and shoots it into the defenders skates.

 

[detredWINgs]

I seriously want to cry whenever we get a PP...

 

[JmanWingsFan]

Quincy!!!!

Yeah, what about Q?

 

[Syckle78]

Stamkos plays zero D and I am always a little surprised when true superstars and Stamkos is one, cannot will their team into the playoff. The guy is the best goal scorer in the league and an offensive dynamo and I realize there are other issues with the team, but still you would expect Tampa to be better than they are just because of his presence.

There's just too much parity for that to be feasible. This isn't the late 80's where a super star can carry his team in his back like Yzerman dud leading his team to the playoffs in a weak division. That team just has too many holes to overcome. Kind of disappointed with Yzerman's result thus far.

 

[SoupNazi]

Our road powerplay is what, 1-40?

 

[lkleung007]

Jimmeh with a .930-ish save percentage tonight. Gustavsson would have given up 3-4 already. We're still in the game amazingly.

Give me a break...you are trying to compare Gustavsson who has started 5 games to Howard who has started more than 20 games?!

 

[aar000n]

Passing to cleary is a turnover

 

[Vladdy84]

More Cleary please.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Give me a break...you are trying to compare Gustavsson who has started 5 games to Howard who has started more than 20 games?!

Um...if Howie didn't have the flu he would have started the Calgary game. So there's that. Glad he was able to play tonight.

 

[detredWINgs]

Our road powerplay is what, 1-40?

Something entirely acceptable like that.

 

[FlashyG]

I swear to god, Kronwall waits until the defender blocks his shooting lane. If he has a clear lane, he waits, waits.... NOW and shoots it into the defenders skates.

He'd be more effective if he just tried it hit ankles...At least then the oppositions best shot blockers would miss a couple shifts.

I seriously want to cry whenever we get a PP...

I find myself furious for the first 45 seconds of the advantage, then laughing for the next 45, then crying for the last 30.
