Wings @ Flames - Recap

I hate sounding like I'm complaining when we win -- by three goals, no less -- but this wasn't the greatest game to watch. It was choppy and sloppy. It had it's bright spots (last five minutes of the second period; Datsyuk's goal), but other than that ... meh, win's a win.

Red Wings 5-2 Flames
**********

• Jiri's on fire right now. Scored the go-ahead goal on a delayed penalty as the extra attacker, giving him multiple points in three straight games, and he's only played about 35 minutes combined in that span. If he goes on a Franzen-like tear it's just not going to be fair to the rest of the league.

• Lilja to Maltby. Okay. Whatever. That didn't even happen.

• Brett Lebda? A goal? Stop it.
  

• Whoa whoa, back up. Lilja assisted on the alledged Lebda "goal" too? Two assists? In the same game? Who the fuck am I directing these questions to?
  

• Conk looked good yet again. 31 saves on 33 shots.
  

• Todd Bertuzzi: no points, -3, two penalties and two give-aways. Suck it.

• Hossa picked up an empty netter with 6 seconds left to prevent a three game point-less drought.

• Wings take on the Luongo-less Canucks on Monday.
