My recap of last night’s victory over Montreal is up @ Winging It In Motown. It’s a lengthier one than some of my most recent ones and I also mention the hour long tribute held before the game to honor the 81-year-old rivalry (boy, I wish Versus would have shown it all!).
Other fun and interesting links…
Wings’ goaltender Chris Osgood discusses the Tigers’ blockbuster trade that went down yesterday saying there may be an opening for him now as backup catcher.
“I love the trade because that pitcher is awesome,†Osgood told me after the game. “A left-handed starter; a left-handed ace. It’ll be great; it’s a great trade. The third baseman is really good, too. I see this as an opening for me. I need a little practice but I could definitely adjust to the job. I’m fired up.â€
IwoCPO, who made a recent appearance on a HNIC piece about bloggers, @ Abel to Yzerman was impressed by the Wings’ play last night in Montreal.
First of all. What in the name of sweet baby jesus was Mathieu Dandenault thinking? A guy who never showed even the slightest sign of sociopathic behavior in Detroit, and only 14 penalty minutes this season, jumps Mikael Samuelsson from behind? Now, considering what we know about Samuelsson–that he’s got a bit of an agitator’s quality to him–he’d probably earned some special attention. But like that, from Dandenault? Interesting.
As for the rest of the game? Read the title: Dominant, definitely the Wings’ best game of the year, maybe their best regular season effort in the last few years.
Here are a few other game recaps for you at On the Wings, HockeyTownTodd, Red Wings Corner, and Theory of Ice.
