Red Wings' game score,and comments...

Hurricanes 3,Red Wings 1... note:i was wrong in saying that Detroit and Carolina meet again... they do not meet again in regular season,and probably not in the Stanley Cup playoffs,either,unless in the Eastern Conference Finals... an empty net goal,with thirty seconds left in the game,decided the final score... i note one thing that i listened to the game on SiriusXM satellite radio,because a severe migraine hampered me most of the day,and i just felt that turning on "the boob tube" would have strained my migraine headache to the point of going to bed very early,which i will do,if at all possible...

comments on the Red Wings' opponents,tonight...

Carolina Hurricanes/Red Wings,tonight... one of the true oddities in hockey... both games have won a game(Detroit 4-3,and Carolina 5-3;both games Carolina out-played the Red Wings,but the Red Wings had a very good third period in the first game,and basically stole the game)... this is the rubber game of,i believe,is a four game set of games,because they are in different divisions in the Eastern Conference... some teams play each other very early in the season,like the Minnesota Wild played the Red Wings three times in the first ten games,or so,a couple of years ago,and by the third meeting,i was angry,and sick of writing down the Wild on my blog... last season,it was the Florida Panthers,now it is the Carolina Hurricanes... anybody for a barf bag??? i am getting that angry sick feeling,again...

Red Wings' game score,and road trip comments...

Red Wings 3,Canucks 2,overtime... after two periods,Red Wings looked dead in the water,down 2-0,but played a great third period,and the play of the game was a pass from goaltender Petr Mrazek to Gustav Nyquist,for an assist,on the game winning overtime goal,for the Red Wings... it appears that Mrazek was discussing that particular play with captain Henrik Zetterberg during the break before overtime,and the play worked minutes later... comments on the road trip into Western Canada:we did not play Red Wings' hockey the first two games against Edmonton,and Calgary,and for the first two periods,against Vancouver,but this third period made me smile,because it reminds me of a hockey team that refused to quit... a very good game...

Red Wings' news...

Red Wings/Vancouver Canucks,tonight...

Red Wings' game score...

Flames 3,Red Wings 2,overtime... commentary,tomorrow...

Red Wings' news...

Red Wings/Calgary Flames,tonight... a game in which both teams need a win,especially the Flames,who have stumbled out of the gate,after a playoff berth last season,and then you have the Red Wings,who got off to a 3-0 start,but have lost three straight games,and have not played too well,in the process...

Red Wings' news...

the next two games for the Red Wings are against the Calgary Flames,tomorrow(Friday),and against the Vancouver Canucks,on Saturday(a back to back game situation;one of,i believe,five this month)...

Red Wings' game score,and a note of NHL history......

Edmonton Oilers 3,Red Wings 1... first win by Oilers in nine games,and first regulation win by Oilers,in seventeen games,both against Red Wings... historical note:what team did Wayne Gretzky score his first career NHL goal against??? answer:in the very first game ever played in Northlands Coliseum(Rexall Place),"the Great One" Wayne Gretzky scored his first career NHL goal,in a 3-3 tie,against you guessed it??? the Red Wings... it was his third NHL game... by the way,this game will be the last game played by the Red Wings,against the Oilers,in Rexall Place... the two teams will have new arenas by 2017:Edmonton,next year,and the Red Wings,in two years...

Red Wings' news...

the Red Wings are on a road trip in Western Canada,so the game is in the second period,right now... after one period,the Edmonton Oilers lead 1-0,and the Red Wings have only five shots... GO WINGS GO...

Red Wings' game score...

Canadiens 4,Red Wings 1... pathetic defense around the Red Wings' net,by the Red Wings,and referees' tic tac calls on Red Wings penalties throughout the game doomed the Red Wings... Red Wings deserved to lose,today... UGGGGGGGGLLLLLLYYYY!!!!!

Red Wings' news...

Red Wings/Canadiens,tonight...

Red Wings' game score...

Hurricanes 5,Red Wings 3... Red Wings came out flatter than a crepe,and never led,in game,and simply got out-played by the Hurricanes(for the second time;they lost the first time),but Jimmy Howard basically stunk in goal...

Red Wings' news...

Red Wings have two games in the next two days... they play the Carolina Hurricanes,and then they play Carey Price,and the Montreal Canadiens... note:wonder why i put it that way,simply because Carey Price won the Vezina Trophy(best goaltender),and three other awards,in 2014... simply said,he may be the best goaltender,and one of the best players,in the NHL,period... i say that with deep respect,and a hat tip...

comments on the Lightning...

the Tampa Bay Lightning have been an enigma,so far... they bulldozed the Boston Bruins,6-3,after being down 2-0 early in the game,then they score only one goal,against the Red Wings,and lose... they are the most talented team in the Eastern Conference,but so far,they have been inconsistent in scoring,folks... is it good or bad??? who knows,but it is very early,in the NHL season... are they a team with talent,or are they a team who crumbles under pressure???

blog statement...

sorry,folks... i have been a little lax on my blogging,lately... i will ramp up my blogging,shortly...

blog statement...

"Idaho Spud" time... day off... just waking up,and head is going through mamba lessons(ha ha),so i am doing very little,today... after taking some aspirin,i will probably get to comments about Tampa Bay Lightning/Red Wings... i do have something to say...

Red Wings' game score...

Red Wings 4,Hurricanes 3... out-shooting the Red Wings,47-19,the Hurricanes do everything right,but win game... Petr Mrazek stood on his head,and allowed three goals,but the last goal by the Hurricanes came at 19:57,of the third period,so it was basically over,when the last goal for the Hurricanes went in... what a defensive game for the Red Wings,tonight...

Red Wings' news...

Red Wings/Carolina Hurricanes,tonight...

Red Wings' game score...

Red Wings 4,Maple Leafs 0... Justin Abdelkader had a hat trick,and Dylan Larkin had a two point night,including his first NHL goal,and Jimmy Howard had a shutout of the Maple Leafs... Larkin is the first teenager to play for the Red Wings in an opening night,since Mike Sillenger,in 1990... on his 35th birthday,captain Henrik Zetterberg also had a three point night... Happy Birthday,Henrik!!!!

slight correction...

i must be braindead!!! it was twenty nine years ago today,that Yzerman became team captain of the Red Wings... DUH!!!!!!!!

Red Wings' trivia...
