Take THAT, Stevie Y

Just kidding, Steve...or maybe not!  No, I'm not serious....or am I?!?  No.

Wings 6, Lightning 2


Thanks to Puck Daddy for providing that pic of a Tampa ice crew member twirling the calamari to the delight of a ridiculous amount of Red Wings fans at last night's game.

Some thoughts...

• 40 shots fired by Tampa, 38 saves by Jimmy...solid.
• You liking that Datsyuk-Cleary-Hudler line?  They might stay together long enough for a nickname.
• Goofy bounces last night, but they evened out in the end.
• Stuart looked damn good in his first game back...the trimmer D-man didn't lose a step.

The way that Tampa looked last night, they were intimidated coming into this game - and they should have been.  Detroit is building momentum while Vancouver is losing it.  And, we're not even at full strength just yet - so look out, NHL.  Detroit has smacked around 2 of the top teams in the East in the past week.  Let's hope they can ride that momentum into tonight's game against the Panthers.

Solid, solid game.
