The Wing's defense looks fast and pretty solid. The Blues shot a fethton, but the Wing's defense did a great job limiting the 2nd/3rd chances.
I was on Washington St when the puck dropped last night. Wasnt in a situation to get some tickets unfortunately. Loved that shootout though. Zetterberg once again sticking it to the Blues.
Yeah... Zetty is a Blues killer.
Wings are looking good dude... think they'll make a run this year in the east?
Being a Canucks fan right now is like being Spud from Trainspotting waking up at his girlfriend's parents house after a night out.
We were once so close to heaven, St. Peter came out and gave us medals; declaring us "The nicest of the damned".

I have no idea what that means. I'm just hoping the Wing'd wheel runs you guys over tonight.
Not seen Trainspotting? It's a top ten all time film for sure. Everything about it is great.
That stain is brown for the reason you think
Hopefully the Nucks are running hot tonight. My cousin is a Wings fan and she's insufferable when they win.

Objection Honorable Kronk!
Cubs won the World Series...
Trump won the Presidency...
Logic presumes that the St. Louis Blues would win the Next Cup!
As much as I would like to see the Blues hoist the Cup, I'm pretty sure that's the 3rd sign of the End Times, and Arnie's too old to save us now.

Well, there's no objective standard by which one can measure "the best" save.
Miller's save will be included in most future "greatest saves of all time" highlight reels, that's for sure.

I agree, but realistically it wasn't an overly hard save, the hardest part was skating from the bench in time
I would compare this to one of the MANY diving catches in baseball that happen almost every game. For me a truly incredible save are the ones where you think he has literally ZERO Chance of getting it

This gak is all on ice. Nothing is like the other sports.
Well obviously, the point remains the same though. You won't see this in hockey that often because its an EXTREMELY unique situation. Just because its a unique save doesn't make it epic or great. Just unique.
I compared it to baseball because it looks a lot like a diving catch. But beyond that it wasn't that impressive. Miller himself has made better saves then that.
Nice to see Detroit get back into the win territory, even if it was an ugly one like that. Sometimes it's what you need to get the confidence rolling again.
Also like to point out, that it's been a great ride watching Jimmy Howard retake his starting position like a boss. I never got on board the Mrazek train.

It is not very often that I wish harm on a hockey player. It's a rough sport, stuff is going to happen.
Mother fething Emelin though, that donkey-cave needs to sit the next 5 games minimum. He went after 3 players last night, may have ended ones season. Makes me really wish that Kronwall would step back in time 5 years, and deliver a nap to him in the next game we play.
