Not sure this is being broadcast so probably no streams. I hope I can find one. Apparently they're streaming it on the Red Wings official site and Fox Sports Go but you need to be in the market.

 

[Mitchrapp]

BilaSport has it and Red Wings site. 480p and bad announcers.

 

[Mitchrapp]

AA scores on 1/5th of a breakaway.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Good end to the 2nd period. 1-1 after 2.

 

[Mitchrapp]

3-2 Wings 9m left.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Never got the puck in OT and lose 4-3. They couldn't get any face offs the last 10 minutes. Gotta work on that.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Probably the most boring game I've seen in person.

No hits, barely any good scoring chances. Closest thing to a big hit was Erne low bridging some Islander going after him.

Wings barely had any offensive possesion outside of PP, maybe 2-3 times they managed to cycle the puck.

Dump the puck in, trap the neutral zone 4-1.

Zadina made mistake after mistake. Almost 100% he starts in GR after a performance like that.

Seider looked decent.
Howard played good.

AA's partial breakaway was only good chance Wings got, and puck only went in cause he crashed into the goalie.

Nielsen seemed to have dissapeared off the ice, perhaps he got injured.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I thought Mantha played well.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

He had a nice goal on an AHL level goalie.

Most of the game he wasn't skating at all. He did pull a Datsyuk on a backcheck giving someone an assist with the stick. But Datsyuk would actuallly continue skating, Mantha just gave up and sat on blue line.

Maybe the vets are just bored and the rooks are frustrated that the vets are bored..
