Announced a little while ago but I've been busy... Kirk Maltby will be a healthy scratch tonight.

A more complete game preview to come later since it's a West Coast game that doesn't start until our time zone should be asleep. I hate the Western Conference.

As previously mentioned, Kirk Maltby will be a healthy scratch for tonight's Red Wings - Ducks tilt. Derek Meech takes his place in the lineup, interesting in that it seems coach Mike Babcock would rather go with a defenseman playing forward than the veteran grinder.

Chris Osgood makes his second straight start. It marks the first time he's done that since returning from injury earlier this month. I assume that means Ty Conklin will go tomorrow night against the LA Kings.

I'll be up for this one unless something crazy happens but I'll probably spend the entire night bitching about how late it is.

Probably because he contributes nothing? Oh well, I might be too harsh on him.

Is there no Red Wings Live tonight? Cause all I hear is Pistons, Pistons, Pistons. And yes, it is because Pistons Live is on XD

-edit; Question answered itself.

Wasn't expecting that, but I'm not complaining. Holmstrom and Datsyuk once again with the goal.

[YzerFan19]

HA! Datsyuk made that play, end to end rush that shouldn't have happened but he's just that good.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Damn. I thought Osgood had that one. It was close, though.

[YzerFan19]

Damnit, how did that get through?

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Powerplay goal for the Ducks. Yuck.

[YzerFan19]

That was kinda nice. Damn.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

That would've been sweet had Datsyuk made it.

But Hudler ties it up! Haha, and off of Pronger's penalty, also.

[YzerFan19]

Mastodonic goal by Hudler.

[YzerFan19]

I was saying at A2Y, Giguere had time to square to Hudler on that shot and Huds still beat him. Hudler is this year's Franzen.

[YzerFan19]

Where was the D on that?

[YzerFan19]

Aww sh*t, something real bad just happened to Meech.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Mastodonic goal by Hudler.

I felt a lot better reading that, and then I saw Meech being helped and that feeling has gone away ;_;

I wonder what and how bad he was hurt.


Just saw the replay in slow motion. Ugh. That gives me the shivers. It's a good thing I don't play hockey, I am such a wimp!

[YzerFan19]

Meech goes down. Festerling goes down. Rough night.

[YzerFan19]

Bear Cleary! Tied up!

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Meech came back, and Cleary scored.

Of course the game keeps getting tied up when the game started late to begin with. At least it can't go into triple overtime.

[YzerFan19]

I'll be shocked if this one stands up.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Sweet! Another goal. 4-3 Wings. Batted in by Franzen.

It's a goal! <3
