First win finally.
Didn't see a lot of the game but the Wings played a sound game without Mantha and Bert.
Not sure what the Mantha situation is about.
Greiss looked solid in net when he had to and deserved the win.
Overall a good performance from an undermanned team.
Question is- did they improve or did Florida overlook them.
Take the 2 points and run
Time for the Superbowl.

I think we are better without Mantha in the line-up
We played hard but at 2-1 i wasn't too sure about the outcome of this one. For a change we didnt look bad playing their relentless forechecking
And Greiss was good..very good.
On defense eveyone played hard, Merill had some slumpy plays but overall our Ds look great
I give my first star to Greiss..second to Ryan, who is all over the place, playing good defense and supporting just about every offensive actions.
To downer is the fact that Brome and even Zadina didnt see much action late in the game. It look like Our Beloved coach took the right decision by over playing the vets in the third...but i'm not so sure.. it worked tonight but that doesn't mean it will always work. Neilsen and Helm arent better on defense than Zadina and Brome..
Anyways good win..nice feeling...it's been a long time since i had that feeling..lol

I missed the game as I was flying to AZ to see my wife. Mantha benched? Smith gets the Gordie Howe hat trick? LOL What a hoot. Wish I'd seen it.

It's little cool here Pierre but better than Michigan. Lorene and I ate outside today. I did an almost 4 mile hike and my new knee held up well. Beers soon. Maybe I can come to Montreal again next winter. Or you to Michigan ....
Don't know about Top of the Rock - where is it?

Smith's goal - my impressions - big man, in tight, quick hands, doesn't quite roof it but it's up high. Was kind of "mule like."

Maybe I can come to Montreal again next winter. Or you to Michigan .... Don't know about Top of the Rock - where is it? Yes it still exists ! Much more beautiful now..but what i remember is that it was...on top of the rock ! Very high indeed. www.opentable.com/top-of-the-rock-restaurant-at-the-marriott-buttes-resort?fbclid=IwAR2LCu09G-8JJLckGgDnRIRNMRkejkvO8HwMLefu3LJOfaAEy_fMMaPCLqEYou ate outside with Lorene ?..again lucky you...here in the Montreal area we are in a red zone..meaning you can't get out, everything is close. Montreal has 95% of the covid cases...outside Montreal is almost normal life..well almost, curfew is on, got to be inside before 8ipm NB So you finally got that knee operation ?.. Hope everything is fine with your giddy up.. |

Top of the Rock looks pretty cool. It's a ways from Sedona, though.
