The 2008-09 RWOST

[DE]

Just got back from the Joe. It might be the best game I've seen them play.

I do think that you could tell the Sharks were a bit tired from last night, but still, the Wings were great. I loved their positional play. Even when they were out-shot in the first period they were still covering the ice so well and preventing odd-man rushes and good chances close to Conklin. And I loved the passing tonight. None of that tap it ahead shit, they moved it fast and hard.

Datsyuk and Hossa can do what they want out there. It's amazing. When they're moving with the puck no one can stop them.

Didn't get to see the game tonight, basically because I forgot it was on and I was at the rec running. Damn.

I still keep reading this thread as 2008-2009 WORST, like it was a typo or something.

Got my tickets to the Dec 27th game out here last night. I'm looking forward to watching the dejected Avs fans filing out of the Pepsi Center.

Don't know if anyone's watching the game but the first period was all right. The third line is kicking ass IMO. I still wish that Swede line would be more dominant and we didn't have to pay for every time we cough up the puck.

Failed to clear the puck from the front of our own net a little bit too often for my liking. Happy to see that we could keep ourselves in it and pull out the win though.

FWIW, the Blackhawks have been on fire lately, I don't think they've lost a game since we beat them a couple weeks ago via shootout.

So the Wrigley game is shaping out to be a good one.

Wrigley game is on bitches. I was 100% planning to go when they announced it, but didn't really even try. I fail.

this game is chippy. I like it

Unfortunately for the Wings, chippy always helps out the other team. It gets them hyped up and takes the Wings off their game. Hard hitting is fine, but the Wings have to move their feet more and finish some checks. Even if he got a penalty Lilja should have tied that guy up behind the net on that last goal.
