These guys earned their stripes the last 3 playoff seasons and it's playing off. Excellent GM work, adding instead of running around with their head cut off.

2-2 game.

We get a two man advantage to start the third period. We need to capitalize on it.

Black Sunday. Black Mother's day. Take your pick.

Lousy- Tigers are bombed 16-4

Lousier- Pistons lose ugly

Lousiest-Wings lose in O.T.

(The top two shouldn't make a difference, but the hockey loss may hurt).

Everyone is asking when the Red Wings are going to start playing at a 100%. But maybe they already are? Maybe that is as good as it gets for this team and Anaheim is that much better. I still hold out hope that this year the stars align and the Wings get to the cup, but it is a tough road ahead.

Wings are ready to go and steal the first home game in Anaheim.

Time to beat the Ducks.................the score will be...............

3-2 Wings win !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hockey is so different from BBall. You can make a lot of mistakes in BBall but hockey is unforgiving.
Gijere is easily Haseks successor. Got to hold him off---for once.
triple OT
1-0
Wingdings

Calder out, Kopecky in. By the looks of it and from what I'm hearing Calder must be injured. Kopecky wasn't supposed to be back until the next year, but with Wings running short on bodies he's inserted in the lineup. He missed most of the year with a broken collarbone. Ducks have a couple of people out as well. I bet Ottawa is licking their chops - they should get their series over quickly and then they can just relax and watch Detroit and Anaheim beat each other up.

The disappointing thing is that Bertuzzi really can't skate with any purpose. The good news is that we have played neck+neck with these guys, and if healthy, we might even have had an edge (Schnieder, Bertuzzi, Kronwall etc.).

I truly believe we play more inspired on the road. Hopefully we can steal one at the Pond and make it a best 2 out of 3 with home ice.

Thankfully the Wings are winning tonight, up 4-0 right now.

GO WINGS!

Right Roscoe. The Pistons are still up 3 games to 2, The Wings are crushing the ducks on the road, and your fantasy baseball team is beating down that pesky 13 year old for me so all in all it's a pretty good day.
