Red Wings and Drinking Open Thread
Well, the other one went well so hopefully this will continue our luck into the profesional hockey realm. Red Wings are playing in Edmonton starting at 10:00 on FSN. Jimmy Howard is out with a broken finger. Remember, in this game we want the red team to win and the blue team to lose.
Let's Go Red Wings!

And having a Rodenbach Grand Cru while doing so. Anybody else into sours? It's a flemish sour.

Red Wings can wait another 3 minutes. Hopefully Conkin can be solid
February 4th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
Not a good start. Give up a bad breakaway that luckily doesn't score but it sets up a goal a bit down the line. Canada is not treating us well so far.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
Man I hate these 10pm starts
February 4th, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
can't follow the game too far gone on the drinking end of things.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
I just blurted out, "Look at that shit. Look at what I just orchestrated!" To a pet and an unsatisfied woman.
That's what I just did.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:43 PM ^
Nice work. Personally I plan on keeping this going through the superbowl
February 4th, 2012 at 10:24 PM ^
Let's get that 3rd W over Canada! Feeling happy, drunk and still exteremely happy about shutting out Miami!

Ty Conklin is GARBAGE! I would rather see MacDonald or McCullum at this point.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
hear hear! I don't know what his deal is, he was decent last time the wings had him, but this year he's been shit.
Also, Sam Gagner has been possessed by some sort of hockey demon. It's the only possible explination. 10 points now in the last three and a half periods.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
He was a lot more solid than Conklin has been. I hope we can trade Conklin for a consistent back up come the deadline. I do not have confidence in Conklin when playoff time comes...
February 4th, 2012 at 11:02 PM ^
well you don't demote a goalie lightly, but unless Conklin is spectacular in the next two periods I'd certainly like to see MacDonald get the start in the next game.

Detroit needs a 2 headed monster like St.Louis for broken fingers or worse.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
KRONWALLED!!!!!!
February 4th, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
No shit, that was WICKED.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
Keep your head up when Kronwall is on the ice baby.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:37 PM ^
Damn, can't score on the 5 on 3
February 4th, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
Jimmy, come back! We miss you!
February 4th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
How strange is it to have a somewhat producing Hudler?
February 4th, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
That's actually a really good deal for a Wings game if you think about it. 4 tickets the dogs, and pops? Just the 4 hot dogs and 4 pops would be like $50 at our local minor league baseball teams games.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:53 PM ^
Edmonton own goal!!!!
February 4th, 2012 at 10:54 PM ^
Fucking Gagne......
February 4th, 2012 at 10:54 PM ^
This is going to be a looooong night for the Wings. Lets just hope that having Howard out for at least two weeks does not start a nasty streak for Detroit.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:59 PM ^
Wings need to deal Hudler before he goes cold. He is just too slow and small to make a difference come playoff time.
February 4th, 2012 at 11:00 PM ^
February 4th, 2012 at 11:05 PM ^
February 4th, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
Oilers have scored four goals and we can't convert a two minute 5 on 3. This one has the potential to be a real nightmare...I thought we used up our "take the night off" game card vs. the Islanders.
February 4th, 2012 at 11:08 PM ^
Is done. Babs should come our with Mac in the 2d. No need to embarass Ty, but he is past being a NHL-quality goalie. Yes, we have not played great in front of him, but he cannot let in a goal in the last 10 seconds of a period. He can't back up Jimmy come playoffs, so time to get Mac some quality minutes.
February 4th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
February 4th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
And Joey starts the second period.
February 4th, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
There you go Joey. Starting off with some nice saves.
February 4th, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
Conklin pulled after the first
February 4th, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
Front office needs to decide what to do with Conlklin. McDonald likely good enough to back up Jimmy, but if not, need to sign a real big-leaguer.
February 4th, 2012 at 11:25 PM ^
Good save by Joey there, even if he did get rammed trying to make it
February 4th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
Chippy game tonight, which sucks because our PP and PK has sucked
February 4th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
February 4th, 2012 at 11:36 PM ^
a asset, particurly on the PP. I hope your not blaming him for that penalty because that was straight up bullshit officiating, he got interfered with and than got punched in the back of the head. That should have been a Wings PP.

Of course it would be Gagne who almost scored
February 4th, 2012 at 11:34 PM ^
I just won with the Red Wings on NHL 12. Hopefully it translates to real life.
February 4th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
Holmstrom sucks? I completely disagree. He does so much dirty work in front of the net for us. His contributions might not show up on the stat sheet. But believe me, I played hockey and the work he does in front of the net is important. He gets under the skin of the other team. Draws penalties. Screens the goalie. I can't believe you would say that...
February 4th, 2012 at 11:43 PM ^
February 4th, 2012 at 11:50 PM ^
February 4th, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
Wow...you went there? I'm the beer league softball guy? First of all I would NEVER defend Brandon Inge. Second of all I wasn't going to say this but I was an All-State hockey player in HS, and I played club in college. You're like the guy who doesn't know what he's talking about and then puts someone else on blast for having a different opinion.
P.S. It's you're when you're trying to say you are.
