well the team did lose 3-1 to MTL in game before the san jose game. but that was a simmed game. in the 2 games i played 3-0 win over tor and the sj game i think i have been concentrating more on defense than before. Plus Howard is playing better than earlier games. I was worried a bit there.

the team is streaky right now

start out 2 loses, then 2 wins, then 2 loses again, then win 4 in row until ana game. ive played 5 out of the 1st 11 games so far. I have 2 games left COL and DAL to end OCT i will be playing those 2. Hopefully i can keep up the defensive work when i play.

Let's go red wings!

Get your 23rd win home run. It sucks that you didn't get your 24th win because you got stopped by someone.. *cough* XD.

Aside, I am following your dynasty! Detroit looks very streaky indeed, reach for the top!

Datsyuk eventually game winning goal





Fippulas goal pushed the lead to 3-1

Game Notes:
2 quick goals by Detroit (datsyuk and filppula) was the key to the Wings win. Quickly changed the momentum of the game.....Nyquist would add an empty net goal.....Detroit ends October with a win but only there 2nd home win of the month.

End of October update





Home Rec: 2-3-1
Road Rec: 5-1-1


Lineup:
Forwards
Filppula-Datsyuk-Tatar
Franzen-Zetterberg-Nyquist
Mursak-Helm-Eaves
Abdelkader-Emmerton-Cleary

Defense
Lidstrom-White
Kronwall-Smith
Kindl-Quincey



Surprises:
Tomas Tatar- After starting the season in GR he was brought up when Rookie Alex Galchenyuk was sent back to Juniors. He has 4 goals which ties for the team lead

Jimmy Howard- 2nd in the league with a 1.77gaa and 6th in the league with a 92.7%sv. He didnt have the greatest per-season and was a concern going into the season.


Disappointments:
Nicklas Lidstrom- only 3 pts in 13 games and -4

Ian White- 3pts in the month and also -2

Johan Franzen- only 1 goal in 13 games for the teams resident sniper.



Western Conferance Playoff Race:


------------------------------------------------------------
Next up the Month of November starting with the Vancouver Canucks. I will be doing the same for November as October. Playing hopefully at least half the games in the month and then simming the rest. I will then have a update at the end of the month.
