Tough crowd.

Go 9-1 in your last 10 games - tied for first in the East.

Go 0-1-1 in 2 games - slide down to 5th.

On the plus side, WW miust be feeling a little better as we got the nice GNT tonight.

It almost didn't happen again, but having the furnace repaired while 0F temps raged outside perked me up just enough to search some stats.

 

[sherbert1421]

it would be nice for them to put in a solid performance against a top team for once

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Ten minutes in, 2 shots apiece.

Habs are not a great first period team.

Habs are not a great first period team.

So what you're trying to say is, us being outshot 5-3 before the Habs start turning it on is a bad sign?

Gotta jump on the Habs early because they get better as the game goes on.

 

[sherbert1421]

The wings suck early on too so I think it evens out

Tight checking game so far

That's what she said.

[sherbert1421]

This game has that "first goal wins" kind of feel to it

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

moar shitty officiating

 

[sherbert1421]

All that complaining by Montreal paid off

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

When Subban plays on the powerplay unit (like now), do his first initials temporarily change to PP Subban?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

This is going to a shootout all tied up at 0-0. Detroit will go 15 straight shooters without scoring a single goal, and when Howard let's one in we'll all blame him for the loss. I can see it coming, damn it.

 

[sherbert1421]

I can count the number of scoring chances by Both teams on one hand

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Not like that.
