Didn’t get to watch this last night, so no full recap from me.  I’m DVRing the NHL Network re-air (Ducks broadcasters, ugh), though.

I get the ESPN score alerts on my phone, and when saw that Bertuzzi scored 2 goals, including the game winner, I wondered if I was more drunk that I originally thought.  My friend Kyle left me a Facebook message that said:

I find it very erie (sic) that you mentioned sacrificing Bert to the hockey gods the other night, and then he comes through with 1 + the GWG tonight

Guess Bert heard wind that several of us were all volunteering him as human sacrifice to appease the hockey gods.

I’ve read a lot today that Datsyuk needs a new stick.  He’s been trying out a bunch recently, from what I heard, so fingers crossed that he finds one he actually likes.  Not exactly a ringing endorsement for Reebok, if one of the best stickhandlers in the league doesn’t like any of your sticks.

The Wings head to Nashville.  I’m assuming Osgood is getting the start on the second game of a back to back.  He should be chomping at the bit to get some games in, so I’m expecting him to play well.

And according to George over at Snapshots, Lidstrom is positive that he’ll snap his drought soon.  Tonight looks good, Nick.
