Game Thread: Lightning @ Red Wings - Game 3

[Winged_Wheel88]

TBay only outshooting Detroit 13-12 despite having had 5 (admittedly a couple of 'em were short) power plays to Detroit's 1.5.

This is hopefully not a jinx, but this is the best Detroit has looked in 2 months.



Almost was a jinx - great save by Mrazek.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Come on, Detroit - don't let Tampa tie this before intermission.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Good shit.

Wings lead 1-0 after 2.

Wings are getting the bounces Tampa got Saturday, but aren't lighting the lamp. This feels like an overtime loss is imminent. Please, Lord, let me be wrong this time.

In the box already.

I cracked open a Hopslam in the second intermission. I did the same thing during the first game. I got 1 left that I am bringing to Tampa for game 5 and will sneak it into the arena. We got this.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Great play by Smith.

Did I just say that?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Power play Detroit!

I will be ok with a less-than-two-minute power play again, just so long as it's because we scored.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

What the hell are we doing.

 

[postmaster]
