Great game from Wings, making up for Pistons loss. What's up with the goon squad called "Ducks"? They become the same thing that Calgary became - frustrated and running around looking to hurt someone. I hope NHL puts their foot down on that bull.

I heard that Pronger might get a suspension, but that Homer was able to come back might hurt that case.

The talking heads on TSN said that both teams would be lobbying hard. The Wings for a suspension and The Ducks to avoid one.

I told you guys we can win this series if we just play Red Wings hockey.

Kudos to Babs for having the guys ready, Hasek for a shutout and Homer for being so great!

I hope Pronger really does get suspended - I hate that guy.

Oh yeah, for those of you who missed the game, we chased JS Giguere from the net. Considering how much success that guy has had against us, it's great to hit him in the mouth a couple times with even strength goals.

Oh and Babcock switched up the lines, separating Datsyuk and Zetterberg. And the Wings just kept throwing the puck in the net.

This is an entirely new year. There are no goaltenders that are going to keep us down. We're not scoring pretty, but we're putting puck in the net. Just keep it going. At least one Detroit team is trying to move on.

This is interesting:

BILL McGRAW: Suspend Pronger: Call Colin Campbell and voice your opinion

Quote:

Call Colin Campbell. He is the former Wing who serves as the NHL's enforcer (of rules) who has the power to penalize Pronger after-the-fact.

I called his Toronto office this morning. The number is 416-981-2777

So, we go from Russian 5 to Swedish 5. Lets hope that the end result is the same.

Here's another good article about Wings. This is from NHL.com:

NHL.com - 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs Coverage

Quote:

With the beating the guy’s taken in the playoffs, he’s looking more and more like Bruce Willis’ character in the Die Hard movies. Holmstrom’s been beaten, blasted, squashed and squeezed. And that’s just on any given shift out there.

This one got me laughing:

Quote:

The Red Wings got two more gargantuan goals out of Holmstrom Tuesday night to take a 2-1 lead in the series against the Ducks, a team that plays like they’re named after the command -- duck! -- rather than the feathery animal.

Looks like Pronger is out one game.

Without Pronger, our chances to win Game 4 just increased exponentially.

I predicted Wings in 7, but with a little luck, it might come sooner.

Btw, this is some of the best Detroit hockey I have seen in years. The boys are playing with so much heart and resilience.
