Red Wings 2, Sharks 5: Post Game Snipes...

• Sure, most of the game looked like a trainwreck on skates, but, hey, the Wings scored TWO powerplay goals. I guess that's a good sign.
• This one hurt because things looked so good for most of the first period. The Wings looked great until that shorthanded goal at the end.
• After San Jose got on the board, the Wings pretty much completely shut down and went through the motions until the very end of the game.
• Their too little, too late push toward the end was encouraging, but not nearly enough to overcome the hole they dug for themselves.
• I miss the good old days when this blog's namesakes would do things like snipe and dangle. I want my Eurotwins magic back.
• Why does Larry Murphy not have a reality show?
• Brendan Smith looked pretty good in his NHL debut. He made some mistakes, but he didn't look horribly out of place. That's not too shabby for a rookie defenseman.

Red Wings Blogger Roundtable...

Be sure to check out the third installment of this year's Wings Blogger Roundtable hosted over at Winging it in Motown.  We've got a good discussion about the Central Division, Brendan Smith, and who we think is going to exceed or fall short of our expectations this season.  I even bothered to drop in this time around.  Stay tuned for more discussion next week.
