Lucky you. I tried getting tix, no one wanted to sell em.

- Ryane Clowe was much faster. Today, he stops near the blue line to make a pass; last year, he was going much closer to the net.
- Michalek is a good player. I miss him on the second line.
- Even without Blake (IR), the defense looked better than it is today. Sad to think we coulda kept Error by waiving Luko/not resigning Huskins
- Randy and Drew, just like us, were much bigger homers than they are today
- How was Staubitz ever a defenseman? He's worse than Semenov.
- Speaking of who, Semenov was awesome as always.

This the one from Jan 17th last season? Went to this for my b-day which is the day before. Amazing game.

[Kitten Mittons]

Yup, 17th.

Can't believe they didnt' score 5 on 3. Error saved that powerplay with a goal.

Man, Thornton was good that game. I wish it was his "regular" game, not just extraordinary.

Have to agree with you on that one. Definitely a game I'll never forget. I was on pins and needles the whole game.

I love hearing Randy say:

"Hossa turned down a multi-year deal with the Penguins to sign with the Wings - feeling he'd have a better chance at the Cup. It appears he made a wise decision as the Wings are currently one of the best teams in the League, while the Penguins sit outside of the playoff picture looking in..."

[Kitten Mittons]

Cheeeeeeeeeechoooooooooooooo!

And Clowe was in front of the net! Can you imagine?

Imo this was the most entertaining NHL game last year. This game was my stanley cup. Wish I had CSN so I could watch it.

[Sniper Archetype]

Watching it now. I remember this game so well, it's scary.

[Kitten Mittons]

Marleau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this goal
