Coyotes Hand Wings 2nd Loss in Regulation

The Red Wings lost in regulation for only the second time this season to the Phoenix Coyotes. Osgood made an emergency start for Jim Howard, who is suffering from back spasms and Ossie was anything but his old self in the 1st. Despite letting in 3 goals in the 1st period Osgood regained his composure and the team started to play harder in front of him and he didn't allow another goal. Again the powerplay was a bit of a concern with the Wings only striking on 1 out of 6 tries. Franzen and Homer scored the goals for the Wings but the Wings just couldn't find a way to beat Bryzgalov to tie it up. Even though they lost, the Wings and their fans had reason to celebrate tonight, with Pavel Datsyuk aka the best player ive ever seen play EVER!!!! registered his 600th point assisting on Holmstroms goal. Datsyuk becomes the 9th player to score 600 points as a Red Wing. On a night when the Detroit D-men looked slow and the forwards couldn't find the back of the net Datsyuk was his normal self making the opposition look like they were wearing shoes with butter on their soles out on the ice instead of skates, turning them inside and out then back again. The Red Wings will shake the loss off and take to the JLA ice again Saturday night against the Preds.

Goodnight from the greatest sports city in the world go see a chiropractor Jim and get that back straightened out
