So I just got home from the game and my post-hockey game garlic wings.
The game tonight was AWESOME. I almost can't believe they won. The were down 4-2 going into the 3rd period and I pretty much expected the Hawks to win since they always play the Wings tough. THen the Wings exploded for 3 goals in the the first 10 minutes of the period to take the lead . The Datsyuk goal was a thing beauty. That has to be the prettiest goal I have ever seen in person.
I would have been nice if they could have held the lead, but the refs gave the Blackhawks a 5-3 powerplay where they tied it up.
Conklin looked good in the shootout, even though I think a couple of the goals he gave up were of the weak variety.
And Hossa is the man. He looked good all night. On the shootout winner he just kind of laziiy picked up the puck and start skating toward the goalie, and then just blew it by him like it was nothing. He is on fire.
Franzen went down. I hope it is nothing serious. I read reports that he was walking ok after the game, but is going to an MRI on Monday.
One thing that bugged me was that Hudler was the 3rd shooter in the shoot out for Detroit. How is Hudler the 3rd shooter when you have Marion Freaking Hossa sitting on the bench?
This was a great game, I hope everyone got a chance to see it. Definitely seek out the highlights for Dats's goal in the 3rd.
And how ugly are the Winter Classic jersey's? They showed the Blackhawk one at the game and I found the Red Wing one online when I got home. They both are horrible.
