Not Looking So Hot

The Red Wings just can't seem to pull out a win with seven key players out with injuries. Two shut outs in a row against the Chicago Blackhawks. 4 in the last 14 games this year. It hasn't been that bad since 1958-1959 season! Although the players who have stepped up to take their places in my mind, are not bad players they simply need to find their place on the team. Pavel Datsyuk this year cannot seem to find the back of the net but is doing very well in takeaways and is leading the league in that category. It seems to me that the players rely on Pavel Datsyuk a little too much sending him half ass passes and assuming he will take it in by himself. Which in a lot of cases he will but they can't expect him to do that every night. The Red Wings need better passes, more hits, and quality shots. They miss the net continuously not excluding Datsyuk either. To sum it up The Red Wings are in a bit of a slump but I think they will find their way out of it into the next year of this season.

Get Ready Crosby You're Next!!!

Kronwall Vicious Hit & Game 3 Highlights

This got it all started for the refs in Game 3... Pretty sad call on a good clean hit by Kronwall. This is why you keep your head up while you are on the ice...



Here are the rest of the highlights from Game 3 Red Wings Vs. Blackhawks. It was a great comeback by the Wings, but they just got called for too many penalties...



Can't wait for Game 4!!! Go Wings!!!

Game 1 Chicago Blackhawks at Detroit Red Wings

Adam Burish opens up the game and scores an unassisted goal to make it 1-0.

Dan Cleary with a unassisted goal over Nikolai Khabibulin glove to tie it 1-1.Then Yohan Franzen also scores an unassisted goal with a wrap around through the legs of Nikolai Khabibulin.The first two periods are over with a score of 2-1.

Kris Versteeg scores to tie the game about 3 minutes 10 seconds into the third period.
2-2.

A few minutes later Brett Lebda took a shot that hit Mikael Samuelson in the leg. Samuelson controls the puck fakes a shot and then rips one into the back of the net to take the lead 3-2.
Zetterberg to Frazen,Cleary deflects the puck to score his second goal 4-2.
Cleary almost scored a hat trick after he had a break away chance, which I think he had Khabibulin beat but missed the back of the net. Then later Cleary almost accepted a pass from Datsyuk for an open netter! Too bad...
Zetterberg instead gets the open net with a pass by Frazen who was quick to get back onto his skates to get an assist.
