High Flight - Wings vs Ducks GNT

[Automattic]

I hope these refs would finish blowing their wad already. I'm sick of hearing them blow the whistle. Sure I'd love a powerplay fest against the Ducks, but nobody gets momentum this way. GIVE THE GAME SOME FLOW REFS!

Shot it over the glass...two-man adv for Detroit for 1:33. We never score on these...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Disgraceful.

 

[Ho_Brah]

where is JstDucky?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Detroit 4 powerplays (OK, one was for 3 seconds) and no shots on net. Only 3 or 4 for the entire period.

How does a team with that much talent fail on 2 man advantages? Too many cooks in the kitchen as they say?

I don't know, but we must have the worst percentage of any NHL team with a 2 man adv the last two seasons. Frustrating as hell.

Lilja may be slow and look like he's skaing in cement, but he can block shots with the best of them when killing a two man disadvantage. In fact, I dug up a little heralded stat that he's third in the league in blocked shots while killing two man disadvantages.

I think the Oilers have that record.

Holland wanted him back, but for some reason he thought there was a pot of gold out there with his name on it. Turns out he had to wait for the Ducks blue line to get decimated to get a contract. I never though I'd say this, but I wish we still had him... at least at the expense of Ericsson.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

So...did we burn our timeout there?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

1-0 good guys after 2.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Ericsson knows better than to do that, but he didn't push very hard... I wonder if he's just got some really bad breath?

 

[Automattic]

Lilja has had a solid night. He was a guy that was in my doghouse forever but finally worked his way out. I miss him.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Also, only one goal? I don't think that's really Dan Ellis... it's FAKE DAN ELLIS!Twitter

Maybe he listened to me for once when i said "Hey E, eat shit!"

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Is there a way I can make parts of my post a link? For example, the part up there where I typed "FAKE DAN ELLIS" would be a lot nicer if it was blue, underlined, and let you to the Twitter page if you clicked on it.

I'll be making sure doors and shut and lights are turned off until we can fix it.

 

[Automattic]

ok bye.

That would explain the mustache.

So Howard's got two shutouts this year and they are both against the Ducks? What are the odds he gets another one tonight.

Ok, just checked + 145...
