The Rundown: Dogs. Woof Woof.

Well the Wings came out to play, but then couldn't finish. Sigh... Yet, Coyotes goalie, Ilya Bryzgalov got off to a pretty slow start, which the Wings took full advantage of. Also, hockey shouldn't be played in the desert. So the Rundown is a bit different tonight, I blogged as I watched the game unfold. So everything you read, I typed as it happened...

The Rundown....

First Period-

Oh Hey Ilya Bryzgalov... there's a hockey game you should be playing... you know, you're supposed to stop pucks before they go into the net, right?

Bryzgalov didn't show up on time tonight which ended in me drinking a Miller Lite. Thank you Drew Miller... I think I explained it before but for those of you who missed out, every time Miller scores I have to crack open a Miller Lite. Milllller Tiiiiiiiime. 1-0

Johan Franzen!!! Power play goal!! Finally... after 15 games!!!! Franzen hadn't scored a goal since the night he scored 5 goals in one game. Maybe he should leave the goal streaks to one or two a game instead of 5....? Maybe? 2-0

Goaltender interference? Yep. 2-1.

Second Period-

Jimmy Saves! Jimmy made some WONDERFUL saves through out the entire second period.

So Johnathan Ericsson made a really nice play (yes, you read that correctly) at center ice a little more than half way into the second. Ericsson lost the puck and saw a Coyote behind him who was going for the puck too. So what does Ericsson do? He shows the Coyote whats up and pretty much pulls a Nik Kronwall. Well played, Ericsson, well played.

Valterri Filppula with a nice goal. His first goal since coming back from his knee injury. Fil shot the puck and it bounced of Bryzgolov's pads and into the net. 3-1.

Darren Helm with an AMAZING short handed goal. That was a one big F-YOU to Phoenix. Beautiful goal by a beautiful man. 4-1.

Larry Murphy even tried to give us his take on the whole Charlie Sheen situation. If anyone should talk about Charlie Sheen, it's Larry Murphy.

On another Larry Murphy note, Murph ended his second intermission commentary by taking a bite of a hot dog. Murph Loves Hot Dogs.


Third Period-

Is that? Could it be? No... that's not Hasek in the net for us again? 4-2.

Okay, so the Wings are on a power play and then all of a sudden the refs blow the whistle. Why? Because one of the straps on Bryzgalov's helmet came off. Its not like the entire helmet came off. Come on, grow a pair. You play in the NHL.

JIMMY, JIMMY, JIMMY!!!!!!!!! (happy now?) Jimmy has been making some GREAT saves tonight.

Ugh. Apparently I spoke too soon... Jimmy let in 2 more goals, 4-4 tie with 90 seconds left in regulation.

Fil tried to end things in regulation. But the game only ended with The Tuzzi threatening Shane Doan's life.

Onto OT-

Wings with so many great chances so far in OT. None of them getting past Bryzgalov. Seems like he finally woke up.

Shoot Out-

Not even worth talking about. Goal Posts. Damn It.


Next up- King Cobra and the LA Kings at Detroit on Wednesday.

Go Wings!
