Hey, its a home game tonight! One with a 7:00 start so I should probably get out of the office and get home since I didn't set my DVR this morning.

Quick notes: The Bruins are almost as injured as the Wings. They're missing Marc Savard and Milan Lucic and someone else I forgot, plus they had to trade away Phil Kessel over the summer.

In addition to the usuals, Detroit will be missing Jonathan Ericsson and Brian Rafalski due to the flu. Doug Janik has been called up from Grand Rapids to fill in.

Ville Leino is back in the lineup and Brad May is out after accidentally injuring his eye on the Detroit bench in Calgary. At least no one has slipped getting into a taxi yet.

Chris Osgood gets the start.

I'll be commenting live if I don't hit traffic on I-96.

Fantastic, Olczyk is the color guy tonight. I hate national broadcasts.

Holy sh*t! Way to go Ozzie!

[Britishwingsfan]

That was incredible.

[YzerFan19]

Helm was a pimp to start that PK. Good overall kill.

[YzerFan19]

Wings to the power play. Got a chance to get something going 'cause so far they've had nothing.

[YzerFan19]

Holy sh*t, how did that even happen? f*cking sweet.

[Britishwingsfan]

That was quick.

[YzerFan19]

Two great passes. One just smart, one pretty as all hell.

[Britishwingsfan]

Wow Datsyuk.

[Britishwingsfan]

f*cking hell, Osgood's definitely showed up to this game.

[YzerFan19]

Wings survived the end of the second there. Gotta keep up the pressure in the third.

Osgood was awesome in the first. I didn't get to see much of the second, though. I hope they can stay like this the rest of the third.

[YzerFan19]

Awful call on Bertuzzi. Right call but awful 'cause it's never made. Thought for sure the Bruins would score there.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Great to see the Wings get the shut out!

[Britishwingsfan]

Really solid game.

[YzerFan19]

Love seeing the Wings hold on for the shutout.

[YzerFan19]

Penalties got a little crazy in the final minutes. Stuff that wasn't getting called all game suddenly is an issue. Hate that.

The parts of the game I saw was the highlights courtesy of the battle between VS. and DirecTv. That was an amazing save by Ozzie, almost Hasek like. The Wings looked solid and with that many people on the IR you can't ask for anything more.

I thought Janic was solid...of course, it's tough to really tell on tv because you rarely get a view of the full ice, but he didn't do anything stupid, for sure, played good positional hockey.
