Home Ice bias exists where the home statisticians might over count positive stats for the home team.

 

[Chance on Chance]

Andy had the 3rd most ice time for forwards. And Danny boy with the 4th most

Really? Lashoff will start eclipsing 18 minutes of ice a night and Luke Real Guddenning 15 soon. I didn't watch the game, glad they won. I'm guessing the Bruins were not prepared and hung over from the night before. Hard to really tell whats going on listening on the radio while working. Lets see if the Wings can keep it up against Columbus.

That's what happens when you have have to kill 5 penalties and you get no powerplays of your own.

Both of them logged the most SH time of all the forwards on the team.

In large part b/c they were the #1 PK unit for nearly 4 minutes a piece and the Wings had no power plays. Andy and Cleary were 7th and 9th, respectively, in even strength ice time. Top 6 were D, Z, Franzen, Weiss, Abs and Alfredsson.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

I liked what I saw from Abdelkader on the second line.

 

[TatarTangle]

Franzen, Franzen made a play. And it looked like he was trying to make that play.

 

[FlashyG]

Franzen, Franzen made a play. And it looked like he was trying to make that play.

He also had a huge shot block right at the end of the game, one that was close to hitting him in the face.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Sucks Smith isn't playing. He's our 3rd best defenseman.

 

[Brandel*]

He also had a huge shot block right at the end of the game, one that was close to hitting him in the face.

I was wondering who that was. Last person I would have guessed is Franzen. Good on him, although it was incredibly awkward looking ahah like, he stuck his chest out and it got him near the throat

 

[Brandel*]

Sucks Smith isn't playing. He's our 3rd best defenseman.

if he was playing like our 3rd best defenceman he wouldn't be in the press box

Not me.
Any line whose job it is to score is hampered by Anvilgator.

 

[Heaton]

He also had a huge shot block right at the end of the game, one that was close to hitting him in the face.

surprisingly franzen is very willing to go down and block shots.

 

[Yzerman1919*]

While I think we won because of great defensive positioning against a great Bruins team, does anyone else think we are flat out slow?

I feel we are just a slow hockey team. The kids would really help, esp nqyuist to get a line going.

Z-D-Bert
Tatar-Weiss-Franzen
Alfie-Andy-Cleary
Tootoo-Glendening-Abby

^^BINGO (assuming Nyquist is still in GR)

 

[sully6one]

Sucks Smith isn't playing. He's our 3rd best defenseman.

What? Kindl, DeKeyser and Quincey are all better than him right now. He is our 6th best defensemen.

 

[sarcastro]

I didn't know the game was on at 2 and I was at work, so I missed it.

That's bad.

But the Wings won.

That's good.

Howard got hurt.

That's bad.

But Gustavsson apparently didn't humiliate or injure himself.

That's good...

 

[Yzerman1919*]

My dream lines

Z-Datsyuk-Nyquist
Franzen-Weiss-Tatar
Alfie-Andy-Bert
Cleary-Abby-Tootoo

 

[Tyler Biggs*]

Thank you Detroit. Love Toronto.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Thank you Detroit. Love Toronto.

Well isn't that a strange bedfellow.

The move Datsyuk made around Chara was the same move he made around the Nashville defenceman on his crazy goal last year. In fact, from the red line in it was almost identical. the difference being that Chara's so long that Datsyuk had to stay on his backhand and dish it off rather than cutting to the net and getting a quick shot off. Great shot by Zetterberg too. Let's face it, is that's Abdelkader or Cleary receiving the pass it's not a goal. It's nice to see that 13 and 40 are producing together early in the season. Usually Babcock is on the verge of breaking them up. What is that, 4 or 5 goals already for Z? I predicted prior to the season that Z would have one of his top 3 statistical seasons, and that was of course on the premise that he and Datsyuk were together for the most part. Let's keep it going.

I wish I could get a video of Datsyuk's backcheck on Bergy as well. I loved watching them two go at a few times.

I think he went to lay down for a nap. It was purely coincidental.
