Even without Datsyuk, we have to respect Detroit's game or get burned.
We were very sloppy in the second half of last night's game and we're not known for being a great back to back team.

Final score? 10-2 Red Wings. Riley Sheahan and Abdelkader have hat tricks, Kronwall has 2 g & 2 a.

 

[Sky04]

I'm calling a Nyquist highlight reel goal, eerie feeling about this.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Osgood with the SO, Yzerman and Fedorov with goals, McCarthy with the Gordie Howe hattrick. Uwe Krupp with the game winner.

 

[ganiseri]

My best friends favorite team against us and this is must win, so i can **** with him.

 

[Houdas]

It's time for some good news.

I did some research, took points at the end of the season and teams difference of GF and GA and did a linear regression for past 5 seasons.

If we manage to play whole season like this with our goals scoring potential and defensive work with good goaltending, we will end up with 123,3 points in average based on past five seasons. This is moderately accurate as the reliability of my analysis is around 90% - this is based on "analysis of variance" or ANOVA.

Guys, you know what? We can go even higher if Stammer starts his goal-scoring frenzy again and Hedman stays as offensive as he was before that injury happened.

 

[2 Weekes Notice]

I'll be in attendance - my first Lightning game in years - so here's hoping they can make it 6 Detroit will be a battle though

 

[The Macho King]

Streak's gotta end eventually.

 

[Leonardo87]

Streak's gotta end eventually.

Hopefully not tonight.

 

[Stamper]

Am I the only one here thinking our streak, and spot in the standings, is somewhat deceiving?
I mean, we haven't really played against teams that were predicted to be good this season, outside of Montreal and Minny, and that we might be due for a rude awakening this road trip vs the likes of Sharks and Hawks?

If we were squeaking out every game, I'd be more worried about it, but we're largely winning convincingly, and without our #1D to boot. I think we're up for some competition against the Hawks and Sharks (although I think we play the Sharks at home?), and they're a good measuring stick for where we really are, but I don't think there's anything deceiving about our place in the standings. Also, a lot of the teams that were expected not to be good have in fact been VERY good this season (Calgary and Vancouver specifically).

But if we're going with the anti-jinx, then yes. We're playing like **** and about to be exposed.

i dont really know you?

anyway detroit has always been my favorite team but I live here so am torn will say this can we win YES detroit is not playing on all cylinders and we have moments. The question is can we stop zetterberg whose on fire.

we got a good chance but have to tighten up and repeats of last night will get us a loss.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Loss incoming. The last second half of a back to back, we got our ***** handed to us by Minnesota. Not feeling too good about this one.

EDIT: How come I can say ass, but not *****?

That's ****ed up.

 

[Brie]

Smart move by the team to travel to Detroit right after the game and not the morning after but how much that will help is the question.

 

[berlin]

This will be a close game, i see OT coming.

 

[ganiseri]

i dont really know you?

Im the new kid in the block!

 

[FDfranklin]

A win here would be superb. I see this being a difficult game for us though.

I have a game @ 9:45 tonight and need to leave @ 9, think it will be over before then, providing no OT?

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Loss incoming. The last second half of a back to back, we got our ***** handed to us by Minnesota. Not feeling too good about this one.

EDIT: How come I can say ass, but not *****?

That's ****ed up.

Type in Nick Bonino's nickname

 

[Juusho]

Shouldn't be an easy game but we'll see. Nice to see Bishop starting.

 

[Callum]

Bish needs to stand on his head tonight, get errrr done.

 

[chasespace]

I have a good feeling about this one.

 

[Rschmitz]

Fatigue should be less of a factor considering the relaxed ice time last night.

 

[Leonardo87]

Have a double dose of Detroit today.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Who's afraid of the big bad wings?

Not us.

Go Lightning!

 

[AllAbout813]

Could see us dropping this one for sure. In Detroit is always a toughy especially on back to backs.
