Sorry for the lack of posts! My computer took a crap on me but I have finally got a better phone and have the app to allow me to post once again.
I have been to a couple of Red Wings games: the pre-season game against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the regular season home opener against the Buffalo Sabres. We won both games thankfully.
Lately, our guys have not done so well! We managed to uproot the Colorado Avalanche and give them their first regulation loss, almost gave the same to the San Jose Sharks. With the Sharks, both teams' defense were good enough to hold off any scoring from anybody, ending the regulation periods 0-0, causing overtime. At the end of overtime, there was still no score and a shootout was required. Shooters for the Red Wings were Datsyuk, Alfredsson, and Bertuzzi respectfully. Unfortunately, Dats and Alfie were not able to make goals and the Sharks' second shooter made a goal and it was up to Bertuzzi. He did not make a goal and the Sharks won 1-0, still giving the Wings 1 point for going into overtime. Howard was still able to call the game a shootout.
Now to the embarrassing part. Mostly talking about our loss against the Ottawa Senators! It was the first game the Senators have played against their former captain, Alfredsson. And try showed their anger, playing ruthlessly to hand us a 6-1 loss. Howard allowed in 3 goals within the first 14 minutes and was pulled from the game and replaced by Gustavsson. He also allowed 3 goals in and our only goal came from Bertuzzi.
On the Grand Rapids Griffins side, the farm team of the Wings, they had been doing fair on defending the Calder Cup. Except for tonight. They lost at home 5-0 against Charlotte.
I hope our guys can pull it together and win the game on Saturday against the New York Rangers. I will watching the game at my parents house on their TV while my father and youngest sister are at the game.
Until then!
