Game Thread: Hurricanes at Red Wings – 3/24
Opening up the GDT but I’ve got no comments.
Conklin gets the start, the first of his Red Wings career.
Game time is 7:00 on FSN.
I hope Conklin’s play wasn’t just a flash in the pan last year. I’ll be really disappointed if he plays bad. However, on the flip side, I think it would be nice to see Howard get some backup action. Look for Hossa to play a big factor in tonight’s game. I have the feeling that Hossa will eat up the Hurricane’s defense.
I didn’t know it was in Carolina, oops.
I am still dancing with joy over the fact that QUINCEY IS GOOOOOOOONE <3 
Yeehaw!
I’m surprised there’s been two stops in play already.
What do you guys think of the black jerseys? I think they’re a little much, and kinda ugly.
I like how Cleary sliced through the one defenseman on the side, smooth
And not holding, either.
Rutuu (sp?) had a good chance. We got lucky, from what I saw.
Is it me or does it seems like Conklin loses his stick a lot?
What a bounce. That was pretty hairy. Phew.
I actually like Carolina’s black uniforms. Reminds me of an old Buffalo uniform, here.
Powerplay goal by Lidstrom.
Sweet.
Lidstrom with a blast. Power play goal!
Wings need to take advantage of any PP they get, Carolina’s not good on the PK.
Oh yes Lidstrom!
But what about the blacked-out version of their logo on the shoulder? Awful. I like the colors but it just looks sloppy. The hurricane warning flag stripe design doesn’t work when you change the colors.
I didn’t notice the blacked-out logo. That is unnecessary. But it looks 90s, and I’m a sucker for anything 90s (there’s a couple of videos of mine on youtube to prove it, not that I’m going to give you a link).
Anyway, back to the game. Uh-oh, 5 0n 3 penalty kill coming up.
Wide open net and Franzen puts it off the post. Damn. I want some breathing room.
Another PK to survive.
Homer misses the empty net. Heaven forbid we have a comfortable end to this.
Zata with the ENG! Wings will win!
That was close, just didn’t kill it off soon enough, but that doesn’t matter now.
Fil way out of position on the Carolina goal, that’s how Corvo was so wide open.
Damn, Corvo scores for the canes.
And Conklin defies the red light and the horn with a brilliant save!
Huge save by Conklin. Why the hell did that light even go on?
OH MY! That was frikkin’ nice!
And catmandu says “That was like a video game goal.”
Yeah, I would not like to be that goal judge right now.
And Holmstrom snatches the lead back!
Conklin with another big stop on Brindy. This one’s too close, he shouldn’t have to be so good.
