I don't care how injured we are. If we can't beat this team, it's beyond pathetic.
Mikael Samuelsson might have the least hockey sense in the NHL. It's unbelievable how many times this guy will attempt dinky little goddam flip passes off the boards to the far defensemen and have them blocked. Every freakin power play. Once we get our defense back, he better not see another minute of PP time. Awful, awful puck sense. Seeing him on a more regular basis this season, I can't believe that he actually has the number of points that he has as a member of this team.
Osgood just absolutely robbed Hemsky. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Man it's nice to have a huge guy on the back end who can skate in Ericsson after losing Jiri He probably won't even be in Detroit come playoff time, but it's still nice...
Stoll off for slashing.
That's it Meech! Back the penalty killers the hell in!
Samuelsson attemps to mimick Lidstrom walking the blue line and actually doesn't give it away for a shorthanded goal! _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Ozzy makes 2 incredible saves and then Gilbert scores on a pass from the half-boards. Brutal coverage. Play the man, not the friggin puck Meech. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Another great save by Ozzy.
8-0 shots by the Oil this period. Brutal. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Sanderson flies by Ericsson who doesn't have enough speed after his turn to close him off and he beats Ozzy to make it 2-0.

Another dumbass play by Samuelsson at the point on the PP.
Detroit then gets in, Flippula sets up Ericsson for the one-timer which he pounds in. Might have hit Grebeshkov in front.
Sameulsson has 8 shots on net. Every single one is probably from the side boards, the goalie with a clear view of the puck, and with an open passing lane to a man in a better position for a shot. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Good shift there by Samuelsson.
Meech is looking better than Lebda right now. Lebda has amazing wheels, but Meech looks like he has better instincts in the offensive zone. Don't know what to say about their play in their own zone. Lebda is cheap but if this keeps up we might have to see what we can get for him in the offseason. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Datsyuk absolutely rapes Garon upstairs!
Samuelsson made a good play to draw the guy up and thankfully got it to Datsyuk before the guy could get close enough to intercept. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Oil aren't the most talented team but they really work hard. They forecheck the hell out of you. Not good when we've got a young D without a lot of NHL experience. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Nice saucer from Gagner to Cogliano on the 2-on-1 but Ozzy reads it perfectly and makes the sliding butterfly stop.
Meech is great at giving the forwards on the right side an open passing lane to the far side. It's even better on the PP when it opens up a bit. Unfortunately his shot there was blocked and led to the 2 on 1. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Garon with a good stop on Meech jumping into the play.
Ozzy's puckhandling is a million times better than Hasek's... _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

YES!
Lebda makes a nice long pass from his own circle to Voltron at the Oil blue line. Ugly goal by Filppula on Garon. Thank you no two-line pass. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Lilja flips it out for the penalty with less than two minutes left.
It rolled on him, but man. Just put it off the boards. One of our guys was there. You didn't have to try to get it so high  _________________ Bring back the old OTP!
