Opening up the GDT but I've got no comments.

Conklin gets the start, the first of his Red Wings career.

Game time is 7:00 on FSN.

I hope Conklin's play wasn't just a flash in the pan last year. I'll be really disappointed if he plays bad. However, on the flip side, I think it would be nice to see Howard get some backup action. Look for Hossa to play a big factor in tonight's game. I have the feeling that Hossa will eat up the Hurricane's defense.

I didn't know it was in Carolina, oops. I am still dancing with joy over the fact that QUINCEY IS GOOOOOOOONE <3 Yeehaw!

I'm surprised there's been two stops in play already.

What do you guys think of the black jerseys? I think they're a little much, and kinda ugly.


I like how Cleary sliced through the one defenseman on the side, smooth

And not holding, either.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Rutuu (sp?) had a good chance. We got lucky, from what I saw.

Is it me or does it seems like Conklin loses his stick a lot?

[Britishwingsfan]

What a bounce. That was pretty hairy. Phew.

I actually like Carolina's black uniforms. Reminds me of an old Buffalo uniform, here.

Powerplay goal by Lidstrom.

Sweet.

[YzerFan19]

Lidstrom with a blast. Power play goal!

Wings need to take advantage of any PP they get, Carolina's not good on the PK.

[Britishwingsfan]

Oh yes Lidstrom!

But what about the blacked-out version of their logo on the shoulder? Awful. I like the colors but it just looks sloppy. The hurricane warning flag stripe design doesn't work when you change the colors.

I didn't notice the blacked-out logo. That is unnecessary. But it looks 90s, and I'm a sucker for anything 90s (there's a couple of videos of mine on youtube to prove it, not that I'm going to give you a link).

Anyway, back to the game. Uh-oh, 5 0n 3 penalty kill coming up.

[YzerFan19]

Fil way out of position on the Carolina goal, that's how Corvo was so wide open.

[Britishwingsfan]

Damn, Corvo scores for the canes.

[Britishwingsfan]

And Conklin defies the red light and the horn with a brilliant save!

[YzerFan19]

Huge save by Conklin. Why the hell did that light even go on?

[YzerFan19]

OH MY! That was frikkin' nice!

And catmandu says "That was like a video game goal."

[Britishwingsfan]

Yeah, I would not like to be that goal judge right now.
And Holmstrom snatches the lead back!

[YzerFan19]

Conklin with another big stop on Brindy. This one's too close, he shouldn't have to be so good.

[YzerFan19]

Wide open net and Franzen puts it off the post. Damn. I want some breathing room.

[Britishwingsfan]

Another PK to survive.

[YzerFan19]

Homer misses the empty net. Heaven forbid we have a comfortable end to this.
