After last night's awful performance, last-second goal to force OT notwithstanding, it's hard for me to be motivated for tonight's game. We can only hope the Wings feel otherwise.

Lineup notes...

Mikael Samuelsson is out for the Canucks and Patrick Eaves is out for Detroit. Either Derek Meech or Jonathan Ericsson will move up to a forward spot since the Wings are too close to the cap to call anyone up from Grand Rapids.

Jimmy Howard gets another start, of course.

I don't expect to be around for this one but I'll try to keep an eye on things and check in.

Checking in from some redneck bar in Northville to report that Dan Cleary is out with a groin injury. Tonight is gonna kick ass.

We've absolutely seen Wings goals called back for less

I can already see the officiating is suspect...

I'm still shocked that they did a close up on the holes in Dr. Fil's shorts. Who knows, maybe a miracle will happen tonight?

[SYfanSD]

We fired a ton of shots in the first however, we need to hit the back of the net!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay for Bertuzzi

And while I was typing that Datsyuk scored. That was insane!

5 seconds apart they said.

Holy f*ck, the Wings tied it while I was laughing at my friends karaoking to "don't stop believing."

[YzerFan19]

Fil!

What a nice birthday present for Fil

Wow, another crazy time goal hahaha. Wings win <3

[YzerFan19]

Holy living f*ck. I think my brain just exploded.

I'm seeing a lot of places saying that last night's pair of goals five seconds apart is a new Red Wings record. Specifically, from the Freep via Malik...

Bertuzzi and Datsyuk set a Wings record for fastest two goals scored, surpassing the 7 seconds that teams in 1936 and 1987 produced.

Either I'm missing some other qualifier or that's just wrong.

In Columbus on November 24, 2007, Tomas Holmstrom and Pavel Datsyuk scored five seconds apart, meaning last night's goals tie the record set then.

Some interesting similarities in the sets of goals. Both times Datsyuk scored the second of the pair. Both times it pulled the Wings from a 2-0 deficit into a tie. Both games were decided in overtime (or later).

Ken Daniels said the goals by Datsyuk and Bertuzzi were a new team record. Is this really true?

[YzerFan19]

See above. Bottom line, no, they're not. They might be a new even-strength record but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw how quick they were was the Columbus game, 'cause I was there.
