The Red Wings open up their three-game West Coast road trip in San Jose tonight but they almost didn't get the chance.

The HP Pavilion at San Jose lost power earlier today, causing both teams to miss their morning skate. Power was restored with enough time to ensure that the game could be played without a hitch.

Thankfully, this is the only game of the road trip to be on a weeknight, with late-night tilts on Friday and Saturday also scheduled.

Jimmy Howard gets the start for the Wings. Antero Niittymaki supposedly starts for the Sharks.

I'll be up for this one and my wireless network is fixed so I may actually be posting. Unless I fall asleep. So tired just thinking about it.

Looking forward to it!!! Friday night as well since we will be at the Honda Center!

Arby's commercial reminds me... Does anyone remember the Cold War game from 2001 having as many commercials as the Big Chill at the Big House? Seems like there's more coverage this time around.

Did the FSD pregame just use San Jose's old jerseys in the promo?

*That* is what the power play is supposed to do. Very nice redirection.

[SYfanSD]

That was fast!

[SYfanSD]

Nice defensive play there... Even though it was in favor of the Sharks

[YzerFan19]

Holy living f*ck, Pavs. What a damned goal.

[SYfanSD]

That was sick!

Dammit

Could see that coming. Wings were getting drawn into the corner too much, I thought it was going to be the guy coming in on the back side but it's the lucky deflection instead.

[SYfanSD]

Cam we clear the zone?

Sharks have been buzzing since their PPG. Unfortunately.

[YzerFan19]

End of the period couldn't come soon enough. With the Sharks buzzing, I was afraid that Ken and Larry were jinxing things by making such a big deal about Vlasic's lack of production. Ripe for a Budd Lynch goal, as they've been called.

I really like Dan Cleary with Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Nothing against Homer but it gives that line some extra speed and movement.

[YzerFan19]

Important early goal. Not a PPG but who really cares? Kill the SJ momentum from the end of the first.

[YzerFan19]

Homer would have gotten called for that. He was sitting on Howard.

[YzerFan19]

Big kill. See where the momentum goes.

[YzerFan19]

I was just getting ready to say that it was a great series of shifts to end the period even without a goal. The goal just makes it that much better.

Second period seemed to go very quickly.

Hello fellow Wingnuts!

Checking in from FOB Conolly. Was up late last night in a bunker waiting for an imminent rocket attack that never arrived. Have been too busy to post in recent days. Good to see Clears' g-streak still going. Who is in net tonight?

Bad to see us getting out-shot, again. Also bad to see Huds in the minus column, again.

I think the Taliban hate everybody 'cause they have no hockey.

That thunked funny.
