5th time's a charm?
Zetterberg opens up the scoring on a fast outlet, tic-tac-toe passing and a great move by Zetterberg.
Filppula goes for the wraparound but Khabby makes the stop. This guy keeps getting better and better. He started off slowly after having a very good playoffs, but has picked it up. I hope he can keep it up for the whole season.
Holmer isn't in the lineup tonight. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

If I leave the door open and lean over, I can see about half of my tv while on the can. Maybe I really should move my shelf and shift the wall unit. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

4 man attack leads to a pass to Cleary, backhand to forehand move and the shot trickles across the line. 2-0 Detroit. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

I was doing dishes when the penalty on Khabby was called but the Hawks announcers said it was a weak slash with some embellishment by Kopecky. Detroit gains the zone on the ensuing power play. Lidstrom dishes it off to Hudler, I was watching Samuelsson on the left side the whole time but didn't think he had the greatest angle for the one-timer. Hudler dishes it off and Samuelsson does his best imitation of Shanny with a short windup, putting it through Khabby for a 3-0 lead.
Hudler with two assists and Sammy with a G, A so far. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Can anyone remember if there has been 2 defensemen from the same team being the top 2 scoring D in the league? It's early, but Lidstrom and Rafalski have the opportunity to do it... _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Savard has left Khabby in net and Havlat has not left due to injury to start the 2nd period. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Awesome play by Lidstrom to keep it in the Hawks zone on the PP. No goal on the PP unfortunately... _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Example of good coaching and what it does:
Detroit is taking it out of the zone. A hawk player makes a play on the puck that could lead to a turnover. Why nothing happens out of it? There's 2 or 3 other players there in support of the puck-carrier. The guy carrying it out should not be the last man back(see: tons of goals by Datsyuk, Selanne OT goal in the playoffs last year off of Lilja). An older Hab great talked a year or two about Detroit's puck possession game and said that they do such a great job in support and that's why their system works and why they don't give up a lot of turnovers resulting in odd-man rushes. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

Chicago announcers(dunno who's doing the play, I think Eddie O is doing colour) need to do their homework. It's not Samuelsson who's called the Mule  _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

This was fun to watch. Not a hitting, bruising game - just great skill and good skating on both teams. Well, mostly on the Detroit side.
Now I want to go back and find out why we lost all the other games with Chicago. As I said before, I haven't been able to see a lot of hockey with my travel schedule. _________________ No one can make you feel inferior without your permission. |

Looks like the last pair to do it was Al Mac and Suter for the Flames it 87-88 or something, and the only other tandem to do it was Denis and Jean Potvin back in 75-76. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!
