Dude. You gave up like 11 goals to the Wings last week. Enough is enough.
Put the V away. And to all you transplants out west? Good on ya.
It also doesn’t hurt that many ex-patriot Michiganders make their homes in some of those opposing towns. “It helps,” Osgood said. “In San Jose, they don’t like us there and it’s the same in Dallas, but there’s a lot of (Wings) fans in Anaheim and L.A. and especially in Phoenix, which just makes it fun and enjoyable for us to play. We enjoy the support and we want to perform well, because they only get a chance to see us once or twice a year.”
It’s a Live Blog bitches. On Versus. Oh, the quality.

Could have sworn that closing your hand on the puck was a penalty.

Another freaking pk. Damnit.

So, 2 pretty blatant interference non calls, and the white get a sissy hold. Ok, I can see that.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 01/12/09 at 10:27 PM ET
So Hossa gets interfered, Ozzie gets clipped at the side of the goal, but nevermind - we got Detroit for a hold.
Ridiculous.
Posted by HockeyJoe from Upstate New York on 01/12/09 at 10:27 PM ET
why wasn’t that an interference call when Hossa was decked trying to get back to the bench?
also the Wings look physically weary and just trying to hang on.

But they’re losing to Detroit.

When was the last time the Wings gave up this many shots?
Might be close to sixty by the time this one’s over Hap. And I can’t remember that ever happening.

This is nuts. This game has the atmosphere of the seventh game of the WCFs.
Posted by SYF from a "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" on 01/12/09 at 10:28 PM ET
After seeing two non-goals stay non-goals I could see this coming. Now if we can just get a shorty here I’ll feel better.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 01/12/09 at 10:28 PM ET
I cannot think of a single reason the Wings would play this bad…other than the coasting strategy, but they can’t coast anymore since it’s the second half…
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/12/09 at 10:28 PM ET
Man these announcers are Douche Bags. Beninidiot I already knew was.
It’s nearly making me miss the Douche Canoe.

Jesus. Of all the assholes to tie it.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 01/12/09 at 10:30 PM ET
F*^$ that.
Why o why did Ott have to get that one.

Dallas is awfully desperate, though - not only were they embarassed by Detroit in the last game, but they are also out of a playoff position and desperate for wins. Their last game was a 1-0 shootout loss to Phoenix.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/12/09 at 10:31 PM ET
Oh hell. How did I know that would happen?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 01/12/09 at 10:31 PM ET
So much for the strategy of improving the PK% by killing a dozen of them in a single game.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 01/12/09 at 10:31 PM ET
Remember, we’re in it to win it.Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Exactly. This is a lot of Detroit playing average at best, but a whole lot more of Dallas playing a heck of a game. The Stars deserve some credit, as much as I hate to say it.

I loathe Steve Twott as much as Jack Black.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from Lidstrom's head telling him 1 more year on 01/12/09 at 10:33 PM ET
Hossa did a fine job getting to the puck first and out muscling the guy to get the puck to the front of the net.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 01/12/09 at 10:33 PM ET
why am i fearing a shortie here?
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 01/12/09 at 10:34 PM ET
*#$%@& it, 50 goddamned shots against, I’ll take a point.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 01/12/09 at 10:35 PM ET
Ugh. I’m going to send a hitman after these Douches.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 01/12/09 at 10:35 PM ET
At least if we lose that ugly 5 in our record goes to a nice even 6
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/12/09 at 10:37 PM ET
Cleary.
But at this point I almost don’t care as long as it doesn’t go to that abomination of a tiebreaker.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/12/09 at 10:37 PM ET
babs says “Dats go finish this Bitch”
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 01/12/09 at 10:38 PM ET
Freaking Kidding me. Well, that blew the big one.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 01/12/09 at 10:39 PM ET
*#$%@&. broken stick is the final nail.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 01/12/09 at 10:40 PM ET
What a ****ing joke, that last shift wasn’t Dallas playing well, that was just total ****ing ****
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/12/09 at 10:40 PM ET
well that sucked but like babs says the team that deserves to win usually does.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 01/12/09 at 10:41 PM ET
I’m not sure I can fully describe just how much I hate OT.
50. Shots. Now that is uneffingbelievable.
*#$%@&.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 01/12/09 at 10:41 PM ET
ugh. *#$%@& that.
This one leaves the same bad taste as that Penguins piece of shit we dropped earlier.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 01/12/09 at 10:41 PM ET
I bet if Homer had been on top of Turco at the other end of the ice, it’d be called back for interference.
Good for Daley, he just came in his pants.
I’m off to see Jack Bauer kick ass since the Wings couldn’t do it.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 01/12/09 at 10:41 PM ET
NOooooooooo. Not a loss to Dallas…. anyone but frigging Dallas!
Posted by Aimee in Austin on 01/12/09 at 10:42 PM ET
Well. That could’ve gone better.
I’ve got to be the lone voice of dissent in re: the commentators, through. I’ve had to listen to an awful lot of douches through Center Ice, and these guys really aren’t that bad. They call the game and seem to grasp the basics of hockey, and that’s saying a lot. So what, they have a little fun with English? At least it’s entertaining.
Posted by Sadie from Ann Arbor, MI on 01/12/09 at 10:43 PM ET
Game over, so update my spreadsheet ...
Huh.
Detroit after a loss: on a pace for 125 points.
Dallas after a win: on a pace for 84 points.
Huh. Interesting.
Now let’s see if they have the “post-winning-against-the-Red-Wings-emotional-letdown” and lose their next game or two or three.

I only got the second hour DVR’d but better than nothing.

Conklin’s your starter….

DetroitHockey, I said the exact same thing to my wife on the replay.
Posted by moocat on 01/12/09 at 10:45 PM ET
‘Gnight Bitches. It’s been a pressure.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 01/12/09 at 10:47 PM ET
Holy crap it’s going to take 6 Wings goals to win this game.
Posted by RWBill from a place trying to get some girl to Unleash her Red on 01/12/09 at 10:17 PM ET
I hate my own predictions.
