What a Return for Chris Osgood

Ozzy stopped 30 pucks last night in his return against the Kings. Lookin' real good. I expect he'll be ready for the playoffs come April. If not, though, Conklin looks real good too.

What is it about the Wings that brings out the best in goaltenders - and all players?

Well they're three points out of first in the West behind the Sharks, and San Jose has two games in hand. Could be a tough to finish first, but damn the Wings look good.

Tonight the Wings go against the Preds. I hate watching them play in Nashville and having to listen to the stupid fans blow their little horns every time Jordan Tootoo touches the puck. Here's the moron throwing himself into the Red Wings bench last year:



Here we go - prediction time. I'm thinking Zetterberg gets one in the first, Huddler one in the second, Franzen and Datsyuk both get one in the third, and the Wings win it 4-2.

Leeeeet's Gooooooooo Red Wings!

Let's Face It - The Red Wings Rule

I know it's the title of the blog, but let's face it, the Red Wings f**king rule!

Pure domination over Nashville last night. The final: 6-2. The big European Mule Franzen got a couple of goals, Hudler got a goal, and Hossa got into what can only be described as a glorified bitch slap fest. Probably his first and last fight....not just in the NHL - anywhere. Check out the sad Hossa fight in this video:



Now they're only a couple of points back from overtaking the San Jose Sharks. Oh I how hate that son of a bitch Joe Thorton.

It's going to be interesting to watch them through the final stretch here. It'll also be interesting to see who minds the goal in the playoffs. I think you have to go with Osgood since he just won them a Stanley Cup, but Conklin's looking pretty damn good.

Red Wings Rule!

Hossa Can Really Shoot the Puck

Good game last night at The Joe. Red Wings vs. Blues. Shootout after overtime.

Datsyuk surprisingly missed his shot, but then Hudler and Hossa followed up with two goals to take the win. Hossa decided to just take the shot about 15 feet out before making any moves on the goalie. What a guy.

Osgood was looking real good. Real good. He's been a little shaky since he came back a couple of months ago, but looked sharp last night.

I'm not even sure when they play again. Prolly Wednesday night.
