00:10Hi everybody, I'm James Sobalski.
00:12Well, they'll try to salvage what has been a tough road trip with a win tonight.
00:21Both teams look ready to go, and it's time to drop the puck.
00:30The Red Wins kick things off by winning the opening faceoff, and here we go.
00:36Pusses it over! Dishes it on!
00:40Detroit's looking to break out of their own end.
00:47Still plenty of time left in this frame. We're still scoreless.
00:53Puck has dropped and we are back underway.
00:56Moussa quickly over to Dabrinkit.
00:58Feeds the puck to Raymond.
01:02Grabs into the zone end.
01:05Takes the puck into the corner of the offensive end.
01:08Oh, to Mason with the puddlesail!
01:12Lillie's got the skill set to be able to maintain possession of this puck.
01:15But how about the determination to have his eyes on the prize the whole time,
01:18and to get out of the coverage to be able to get a shot on that?
01:22That's courage, and that certainly is a work to take it to the net.
01:28Still, it's got him along the boards.
01:31On the one-timer!
01:32Already makes the serve!
01:34I thought he was three for that one-timer, but no!
01:37The Bears gain control of the puck.
01:40Passes it over to Pahal.
01:43Puck scooped up by Stenland.
01:46And that's put away by Sider.
01:48One shot!
01:49The Bears play to lend the win.
01:51Gains control the puck here on the blue line.
01:54Fires a one-timer, and it wins the post!
01:57Oh, great chance there, James, and an opportunity to get the go-ahead goal,
02:01but the pipe gets in the way, and it says, not today.
02:14St. Petersburg's won the draw, and they'll go to work.
02:17Feeds it over!
02:18He's up a one-timer!
02:20And that carries off a potty in the lane!
02:25And there's the whistle, icing the call.
02:38The Red Wings win it in the defensive zone.
02:41So much time and practice working on D-zone face-offs,
02:44and this is exactly why, coming off an icing, you win it,
02:47and you have the opportunity to get out and get a change.
02:50Easy pass saved made by Ellis.
02:52In front, and a stoppage on the play as the goaltender covers things up.
02:59Lots of time left in this period.
03:01We've still got zeroes on the board.
03:07Roslevich won the face-off, and now let's see what they can do.
03:11St. Petersburg's got the puck in their own end.
03:13And that was read perfectly.
03:15What a play by Sider.
03:17Tries to feed it over to Robertson.
03:20Slides it across to Kapanen.
03:22Slides it across!
03:25Sends the pass over.
03:26Quick pass across to Kane.
03:33Shakes off the coverage.
03:35And he's got that one.
03:37Takes it along the ball by Kane.
03:39And that's just out of reach.
03:42It's a blast!
03:43Don't know he's up at the save.
03:45St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
03:54Grabbed along the board by Edvingson.
03:56Oh my god!
03:57Slides by the check!
03:59Ellis has the puck and holds on for a whistle.
04:06Still a lot of time left in the period as we approach the midway mark.
04:10Still looking for our first goal.
04:12The Red Wings take possession off the face-off.
04:16Grabs the puck here at the blue line.
04:19The Bears have it against the wall.
04:22Here they come up along the wing.
04:24Feeds it down low.
04:27Takes the pass and works the cycle down low.
04:30Handles the puck at the front.
04:31Quick pass to Kretzier.
04:34Takes the feed.
04:36Turned aside with the glove by Bobrovsky.
04:44Official signals for the players to get into position.
04:46And we're about ready to drop the puck.
04:50And they win the defensive zone face-off.
04:54Puck moved over to Appleton.
04:56Works it across to Kopp.
05:01Dished on over to Obey Kubel.
05:04Look at Garza!
05:05He's trying to leave everything out there on the ice tonight!
05:08He knew exactly what he was doing with that hook this early in the game.
05:12He's trying to send a message and dictate the pace.
05:15Quick feed to Gudis.
05:16Turns him away!
05:19Slides the puck over.
05:23Oh, we'll get some tired defenders as icing is the call.
05:29Oh, that's an absolutely massive hit, James.
05:31These are the types of hits that can change the landscape of the game.
05:35The power of the legs right through the body.
05:37Lots of awareness there on the puck carrier.
05:48The Red Wings take possession here inside the offensive zone.
05:52The pressure's on the defensive side of the puck.
05:55If they win it clean and they have an opportunity right away for the entire group that they're playing against.
06:02Purses it over!
06:06Purses out to it!
06:07And he denies that great opportunity there!
06:12The Bears take over on possession.
06:16Across the line!
06:17And now it's to pass Jim!
06:20Cross-eye speed and a beauty.
06:24Back to the point it goes!
06:27The Red Wings have a hold of it in the defensive zone.
06:31On the attack into the offensive end right off the gut!
06:36Fires it!
06:37Just gets enough to keep it out!
06:39Sometimes we have no time to think to make these types of saves.
06:42I mean, there's no hesitation here.
06:44Just simply reaction to be able to make it.
06:46Oh, it's a blocker out of West by Wabrowski!
06:50And he tosses it up on the pass!
06:53Wabrowski's got the puck and he's gonna hang on!
07:03That's a tired group of defenders here at their own end!
07:06Well, in particular, the goaltender, you can see it in his body language, James, and the first thing that goes
07:10when you're tired, it's gonna be the positioning!
07:14Wabrowski's opted to hang on to the puck for a face-off!
07:20More than half the period has gone by, hope you're enjoying this one!
07:24The game is still scoreless!
07:28And as the puck is dropped, they win the draw here inside the defensive zone!
07:34Detroit's going on the attack as they gain the zone!
07:37Here we go!
07:38Hot man rush here!
07:40Parcher's got it around the wing!
07:42Moves it to Struble!
07:44Oh, they're off the wall for both posts!
07:48Parcher is having a tough one tonight, James!
07:50He's been at the right place at the right time with good times, but unable to convert as it goes
07:55off the pipe numerous times!
07:57Here's a short pass to Burns!
07:59And that shot gets caught in traffic!
08:03Taken by Rasmussen!
08:05He's got a step!
08:06Oh, fantastic save here!
08:08And when he got in on his own, James, I thought it was over, and no questions on it was
08:12gonna be the back of the net, but the goaltender makes a fantastic save!
08:17Here's the whistle as the play was offside!
08:20Ellis doing a great job of helping out his teammates here, able to deny the high-danger scoring chance here,
08:25very athletic in his crease!
08:36Puck possession so critical in today's game, and the official ready to drop the puck right here!
08:43Roslevich won the draw at center!
08:45Uses the force on that hit!
08:47Kanien-Steam here on attack!
08:50St. Petersburg got possession of the puck!
08:54Gains the zone through the middle!
08:59Detroit's got the puck!
09:01The Bears gain possession along the wall!
09:04And they'll be forced to tag up after that missed pass!
09:07And now he moves it to Robertson!
09:12The Red Wings gain control of the puck against the wall!
09:16Good use of the body on the play!
09:18Moves it quickly over to Tucker!
09:21Moves it and moves it!
09:23Tremendous!
09:23Who clutches as he meets the one-counter save?
09:27The Red Wings will play it in their own end!
09:30Oh, look at this!
09:31Here they come!
09:32They've got numbers!
09:36Scooped up along the wall by Tucker!
09:40Quick pass to Barron!
09:41Steve!
09:46Here's a sharp handle shot!
09:48Picked up along the boards by Stedlin!
09:52Off a stick and they can't connect!
09:56Panthers the one-tiring!
09:58Oh, that goes off his mask!
10:00Goaltender is very aware of where the puck is in that low slot area
10:04and defends his priest by getting out, being aggressive, and taking away any of the net.
10:08Poked away in the defensive end!
10:12Good boy!
10:13Inside the offensive zone!
10:16Detroit's got the puck along the boards!
10:19Stoppage and play offside the call!
10:23Well, that's how you get a puck, James!
10:26I mean, you recognize the timing it takes to meet your opponent right at the right time.
10:30I mean, that's just an explosive hit that gets the job done.
10:33In the final moments of this period, still scoreless in this one.
10:41The Red Wings take possession after that neutral zone face-off.
10:46Detroit's got the puck against the boards!
10:49Pushes it across to Fabry!
10:52Carries the puck through the neutral zone!
10:54And a stick in the lane deflects that one away!
10:57Closing around along the half-wall!
11:01Handles it over to Bastian!
11:03And a nice take-away in the defensive end by Cup!
11:06And they'll dump it in!
11:09The Bears scoop it up along the boards!
11:12Handles the pass from the right side!
11:15He grabs the puck here at the point!
11:18Oh, just a great heads-up play by Girard!
11:21St. Petersburg's got possession here in the neutral zone!
11:26Slides the puck down low!
11:29Glenn Denning's gonna play it against the half-wall!
11:33Looks to set up at the point now!
11:35Ref blows the whistle as the puck's covered up!
11:42Both teams readying here for the face-off!
11:52Offense's own face-off and he wins the draw!
11:55Great positioning in the defensive end!
12:08That's it for period number one!
12:10Second period action coming up in moments here on EA Sports!
12:14So that's our next team practice!
12:16We will move on to the bottom!
12:18The mission is to be final on the team!
12:20With all teams in the military!
12:44We will be able to remain!
12:47Where is the team?
12:59There!
13:06The team is going to be!
13:12And in the middle of the team!
16:43Obey Kubel's got it in the defensive end.
16:46Steps inside.
16:52Detroit's game possession along the boards.
16:56Right up and cut into the attacking zone.
17:00Here's a race for the loose puck.
17:04And he comes up with it.
17:07The Bears played along the boards.
17:10St. Petersburg's trying to make something happen in the offensive zone.
17:14There's the whistle.
17:15We got an offside.
17:18Face-off looming as both centers get into position.
17:28Detroit's won the draw.
17:30Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves.
17:33And freezes the play.
17:40Well, that was a 10-bell save.
17:41We're going to get to watch it again here on the replay, James.
17:44But man, oh man, when you find the puck like that and you have the instincts and urgency
17:48and the desperation to attack it, that is one heck of a save.
18:04Detroit's got the puck inside the offensive zone.
18:08Here's a sprint for the loose puck.
18:14Quick feed to Struble.
18:17Oh, that's a little nasty with that collision.
18:20That collision is going to create puck possession.
18:23You have to separate bodies from puck.
18:24Coaches love these plays, right?
18:26You're not the one that's necessarily going to gain possession,
18:29but you're going to create it.
18:33Tries to get the puck over to Kane.
18:36Here's a shot, stops a hold, tosses it to Burroughs.
18:42Game-time play right there.
18:44St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck now.
18:48Handles the puck.
18:50The Red Wings stay in possession in their own end.
18:53All alone!
18:55Scores!
18:57All alone!
18:58Time to finish the puck!
19:00Yeah, no double-picking on this one.
19:02He knew exactly what he was going to do.
19:04He saw the daylight and took it, James, for the finish.
19:09You have to be able to read the play and have incredible vision to anticipate this
19:13and get on your horse and get going on the breakaway, James.
19:16Another example of his blistering speed.
19:18But, hey, you've got to finish when you're in that one-on-one situation,
19:21and he executes perfectly.
19:27The Red Wings are up by one here at period number two.
19:30These are the games you have to learn how to win.
19:32You know that this is going to be a dogfight right to the end,
19:35and it's going to be the details that make all the difference in the world.
19:38The Red Wings is going to be able to win.
19:39Picked up along the wall by him.
19:41St. Petersburg's got the puck.
19:44Looking for space inside the D-zone.
19:47Here they come on the attack.
19:49Here's a chance!
19:50He scores!
19:53Aye, aye, captain!
20:02Although this is an unlucky bounce for the goaltender, James,
20:04it's one-heeled wand back.
20:05These are the types of goals that can be deflating for a team.
20:08It's a scramble in front.
20:09Goaltender can't find it.
20:10And guess what?
20:11It's in the back of the cage.
20:25Nearing the midway mark of the period, it's all tied up.
20:31St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck off the draw.
20:36Detroit's game possession.
20:37And that's offside stopping the play.
20:45Setters glide into the dot as a face-off, ready to resume play.
20:54St. Petersburg's won the draw.
20:58Oh, it was right there on the one-timer, but the stick breaks.
21:03Well, and a perfect set-up and a great pass,
21:06and it just explodes as it comes off the stick.
21:09Well, that's a great heads-up play by Hall.
21:11Moves it over to Eller.
21:13Slips by the check.
21:15Score!
21:17Score!
21:18Huge goal!
21:19That's a new turn!
21:20No, and Chris, this is really crazy, doesn't it, James?
21:23When you weird down your opponent,
21:24eventually you'll capitalize, and this is the case right here
21:27as they get the go-ahead.
21:29It's difficult to even quantify the number of skills
21:32that are using this goal here, James.
21:34I mean, he's got balance.
21:35He's got great edge work, and he knows it.
21:37You have to trust your edges in this situation.
21:39You're baiting your check to come with you.
21:42You recognize where they are on your hip,
21:43and then you turn on a dime,
21:45leaving the defender to panic, trying to get back in.
21:48Well, guess what?
21:49It ain't happening.
21:56Detroit's gone up by one here in the second period,
21:59and I like that jump in their step.
22:01We're starting to see here now.
22:02We've really seen an uptick in their momentum
22:04in the last few shifts,
22:05and they're rewarded with that goal, James.
22:07They've got to continue to attack the net,
22:09ski downhill,
22:10and not be afraid to get to the peak.
22:13Moves it for Nozad.
22:14Moves it for Nozad.
22:16Puts it on it.
22:17Sticks save just on a piece of it with that one.
22:21Under all sorts of pressure,
22:23trying to protect the puck.
22:25Here they are on the attack,
22:27and he makes the save.
22:29Rebound control is critical in the game of hockey.
22:32Putting it to the corner,
22:34and now the offensive player has to hound the puck.
22:37Play is called for offside.
22:42He found his rhythm here
22:44As we look at that last save
22:45I mean, he has to be so on the mark right now
22:48Too positioned to be able to make it
22:50His read is perfect
22:52He's tracking well
22:53And he has to be quick and athletic to make that one
23:01Still lots of time left in the period
23:03The Red Wings have taken the lead here
23:05Over the last few minutes
23:07They'd love to build on it
23:09St. Petersburg is going to start off with the puck here
23:11In the neutral zone after winning that faceoff
23:16The Red Wings have it now
23:19Tries to get the puck to Sider
23:23Poked away in the neutral zone
23:26To his teammate
23:28Awords the poke check and maintains possession
23:31Came up with a nice save
23:36Broken up all Sider
23:39Goaltender gave him nothing as it goes off the side of the net
23:43Avoids the poke check
23:47What a steal in his own end
23:50And offside will get a reset here
24:21Both centers ready to take the draw here
24:28Past the halfway mark of this period
24:30It's 2-1
24:36Larkins quick stick off the draw wins possession
24:38Battle ensues for that loose puck from on the boards
24:42Moves it quickly over to Dabrinkit
24:45Detroit's got the puck against the half wall
24:48St. Petersburg's looking to break out of their own end
24:53Puck dragged by Kapanen
24:56St. Petersburg's got him along the wall
25:00Quick pass to Dabrinkit
25:02Through the neutral zone up along the wing
25:06Pishes it all
25:08Pass to the front
25:09Oh what a save by Ellis
25:12Well this is just a great save from the slot area
25:15Yeah I mean he recognizes where that puck's going
25:18He gives the top of the net
25:19But he takes it away
25:24Detroit's won the draw inside the offensive zone
25:27Now let's see what they can do
25:28He scores!
25:30To a bonus start point at that
25:32The alley hooks number 200
25:34And very oddly knows
25:36You know when they hit that next milestone
25:38He gets it tonight
25:38Games number 200
25:39Huge congratulations to him
25:44Now put on your work boots
25:45Because this is a blue collar goal
25:47James and they don't ask how
25:49They just ask if it went in
25:50He binds the puck on his stick
25:52Because of a rebound that he tracks down
25:54And buries
26:10Detroit's extended the lead to two
26:12Well James it's exactly where you want to be
26:14You have a two goal push in here
26:16But you also know that your opponent's going to start pressing
26:18There's a lot of game left here
26:20And if they get within one
26:21They'll be within striking distance
26:24The Red Wings get in control of the puck
26:28Pops got it along the boards
26:30St. Petersburg's ready to go on the attack
26:35The Bears hit the puck now
26:38But Brodsky's going to hang on for a whistle
26:45Here in the back half of this period
26:48Detroit's really controlled the pace of play
26:50These last few minutes leading by two
26:54They win the draw and go on the attack
26:59Takes the feed
27:00Stought by the goal
27:01Again a piece of that one
27:04Popsky's been really sharp tonight
27:06James
27:06And just had a look at his save percentage
27:08And he's making the stops that he needs to
27:10But man his team's played well
27:11They've got going north
27:12They've created opportunities
27:13And the reason why
27:14They have a healthy lead
27:16Officials have got both teams ready
27:18And it looks like play is set to resume here
27:24Play resumes here as he wins the draw
27:26Inside the offensive zone
27:28Quick feed to D'Angelo
27:31St. Petersburg's at the back end
27:36Moves it to D'Angelo
27:46And now he moves it quickly to Cartier
27:50And a great save
27:53St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the defensive zone
27:57And he slides it quickly to D'Angelo
28:01And now he moves it quickly to Cartier
28:03And a great save
28:05Love the way the goaltender gets tight to the shooter here
28:08The puck's in a low slot
28:09You want to take great time
28:11You want to take space
28:11Goaltender does it
28:12Makes a save
28:15Nice feed from the left side
28:17Up the middle
28:18Huff picked up by Appleton
28:21Big time stomp there
28:24Slides it quickly to Glenn Denning
28:26And that's stolen in the offensive zone
28:29Nice stick save by the goaltender
28:31He's got a piece of that one
28:32To slot it away with the drill
28:34Ellis freezes the puck
28:35And asks for the whistle
28:39The last week's last save
28:40Has to give this team some momentum
28:42I mean that's a point blank chance
28:43That he's able to take away
28:45Just very aggressive and assertive in his piece
28:57Here in the late thorns of the period
28:59The Red Wings are up 3-1
29:04Rostovic's got it
29:05And they'll go on the attack
29:06Here in the offensive zone
29:08It's a straight up race for the puck
29:11And a tenacious effort pays off
29:13As he comes up with it
29:16Kane's lugging the puck
29:18Steps across the line
29:19And on the attack
29:20Down the right side
29:22Taken along the wall by Struble
29:25Stenland's got control of it now
29:26Behind the cage
29:29Slides it diagonally to Barron
29:35Huge steal in his own end
29:36The Red Wings have been picking off passes
29:39Left, right, and center
29:40You know the coach is gonna like this
29:41But it has to transition to offense
29:43Because this game's awfully close
29:45Quick pass to Struble
29:50That sees the pass
29:52Keeps it over
29:53We're gonna face off after the puck stays covered up
30:01Both teams sliding into position
30:03And the official set to drop the puck
30:09The Red Wings win the draw
30:13Directed over to Dabrinkit
30:15Good solid check
30:16And he loses control of it
30:20Takes the feed in the middle of the neutral zone
30:22And the defenders come up with the puck
30:27Across the line and on the attack
30:30Here's a short pass to Palak
30:33From the blue line
30:34They take control of it
30:37Moves it quickly over to Loza
30:39Blocked it
30:40He may have to stop the goal
30:41I think he did James
30:42I mean you gotta protect the house
30:43Especially when it's a great threat shot like that
30:46And he finds a way to get in front of that
30:47And quick
30:57And they take possession off the draw here
30:59On their own end
31:00Quick pass to Raymond
31:03Oh great play to sidestep the puck
31:05And that's knocked away
31:07On the defensive end by D'Angelo
31:10Handles the pass
31:14Puts it on the air
31:15Time taking away
31:16And he cuts off big
31:1840 minutes to play in the books
31:20Both teams will get one last chance
31:22To catch their breath
31:23And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:30And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:33And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:33And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:33And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:33And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:42And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:43And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:43And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:44And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:45And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:46And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:47And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:47And then it's on to period number 3 next
31:49And then it's on to period 3 next
34:20Two periods down.
34:22One more to go, and they're ready to drop the puck here on period number three.
34:26All right.
34:26The puck is dropped on the third and final frame.
34:30Charles, 40 minutes in the books now played.
34:32How do you view this one?
34:33St. Petersburg's trailing in the game here in the third period, James, but it hasn't been
34:37for a lack of effort or not buying into the game plan.
34:39I feel like they've been urgent.
34:41They've been skating well, and of course, they've dominated possession time.
34:43It's just a matter of having it translate to offense on the scoreboard.
34:46And it banks off a stick in traffic.
34:49Oh, great move to sidestep the check.
34:52He's got a step!
34:58Oh, nice play to play from the back here, James.
35:01One-on-one battle against the goaltender, and he's the victor.
35:06This breakaway has perfectly executed, James.
35:08He knows his bread and butter is his great shot.
35:11He sees an opening, and he takes it.
35:27The Red Wings are having themselves a night.
35:29They probably don't want this one to end, Pounder.
35:31Yeah, I wouldn't if you're proud of the stats and you're putting up these kind of numbers.
35:34I mean, from start to finish, they've imposed their will on their opponent.
35:38And that's off a stick.
35:42Barron's stick handling in his own zone.
35:46Gaining momentum in the offensive end.
35:50Puts a little lusted on their hip to knock the puck loose.
35:54Quick feed to Larkin.
35:58And he sends it across to Sider.
36:01Oh, look at this!
36:03I'm going to guess that he's going to look to drive the net and shoot the puck,
36:06given that he's one goal away from his next milestone.
36:10Moves the puck into the attacking area.
36:13And that's a smart heads-up play by Heinen.
36:16The Red Wings have been the better team tonight by far.
36:18I mean, this is coming right off of without the puck.
36:20They know when to close.
36:22They know how to intercept.
36:23And it's all because of their awareness.
36:24It stems from their positioning.
36:28Handles the pass at center.
36:29St. Petersburg, three-game possession of the puck.
36:37Let's move to the middle.
36:39And that's stuck.
36:41On the run-timer.
36:43Back to backseize there.
36:45Oh, a beauty save back there.
36:47He's really owning his crease.
36:49Denies him!
36:51Moves the Gustafson.
36:53And he takes the dish.
36:57Right up the heading to the offensive end.
37:01Detroit's got the puck along the wall.
37:03Blocked, although that might be a save.
37:05Well, that is a save, James.
37:06I don't think the goalkeeper would have gotten to position in time.
37:09He's able to take it away.
37:14You can certainly sense the frustration.
37:16They're getting blown out in this game.
37:17And he deploys that hit.
37:19You can see in the body language right now by the entire bench,
37:22they're extremely frustrated.
37:26Getting closer to the halfway point of this frame.
37:29And it's been a pretty one-sided affair to this point.
37:32It's 4-1.
37:34And that carries off one of his teammates in front.
37:38Here's a short pass to Cartier.
37:41And he takes the feed.
37:43Way off the goalie mask!
37:49Tirovsky's been balanced and in great position throughout this entire game, James.
37:53And he's weathered the storm at different times within it.
37:56Multiple big saves, and the timeliness of them are huge.
38:00I mean, coming up with a big one at the right time
38:02really sets the temperature for your team.
38:13The setters will glide into the dot.
38:21Comfort has won the draw in his own end.
38:24Now let's see if they can clear it.
38:26Detroit's got a hold of the puck.
38:29Tap dances around the champs.
38:31Score!
38:33Four, straight, goes their win!
38:36And talk about confidence, hey James?
38:38I mean, their opponent does no more than answer.
38:40They look absolutely stunned.
38:41I mean, they are like a freight train just pounding down on them.
38:46Well, I've been here.
38:47I mean, you're up against a tough opponent,
38:49someone who's really fast.
38:50You feel like a turnstile because you've just been blown by it.
38:53I mean, he uses his speed, his powerful stride.
38:55He gets it to length, and man, does he convert on it?
39:06Detroit's been running away with this one since the beginning of the game,
39:09and no signs of slowing down in the third.
39:11It's been a productive night,
39:13and this is one of those games that gives everyone confidence,
39:16and this is important for your lineup
39:18as everyone gets it as they feel like they're contributing.
39:21Good fight for the puck along the boards.
39:24Grabbed along the board by Glenn Denning.
39:29The Red Wings take possession in the defensive end.
39:33Oh, and he misfires on that.
39:36St. Petersburg's got it against the boards.
39:40And now it's grabbed by Glenn Denning.
39:42Slides the puck to Kane.
39:45They gain possession here inside the neutral zone.
39:49Died by Ellis.
39:51The Bears gain possession.
39:54Gaining momentum along the wing.
39:58D'Angelo's got it against the boards.
40:02Tuck to Kane.
40:03Well stopped.
40:05The Red Wings take it along the wall.
40:09On the attack along the boards.
40:12Nice poke check.
40:14St. Petersburg's moving it up the ice.
40:19And he takes the feed.
40:21The one-time blast.
40:23Scores!
40:24And a huge goal to pick themselves up off the canvas.
40:28Well, my old coach used to say to me,
40:29you've got to stop the bleeding,
40:31and that's exactly what they've done,
40:32but now they've got to find a way to do something with it,
40:34and he may have been manhandled this game.
40:38There's only certain players that can pull this off, James,
40:40and he is one of them.
40:41You know that puck is coming to him all the time,
40:44but somehow he manages to still get it off.
41:11The Bears don't really have time on their side here,
41:13but at least they've got something to push with.
41:15Yeah, a really tough hole to climb out of,
41:18but certainly that one goal will give him a little bit of a lift.
41:21It's respectable.
41:23Paul is gaining momentum.
41:25Robertson's got it on the offensive end.
41:28Moves it quickly over to Larkin.
41:31They've got some momentum here.
41:35Scooped up along the wall by Dabrinka.
41:37Oh, he stopped it!
41:39That was insane!
41:40It almost looked like everyone was stopping,
41:42thinking it was in the net.
41:43I don't even know how he got to it, James.
41:45I mean, that's athleticism, desperation, complete call of what you will.
41:48It's everything wrapped into one.
41:50Ellis takes away an excellent scoring chance.
41:52He certainly looks dialed in, playing extremely well.
41:55Detroit's got a hold of it along the wall.
42:00St. Petersburg's got control of it now from their own end.
42:03And it's a quick pass to Robertson.
42:06Beautiful read in the defensive end by Chirac.
42:09Detroit's been reading their opponents so well,
42:11knowing exactly what they're going to do.
42:14The scouting report has certainly worked its way into this game.
42:17We're just shutting down everything,
42:18interfering with clothes and disrupting them.
42:21And, of course, it's a blowout to cover the chains.
42:23They're getting the puck, and they're going north.
42:25Puck scooped up by Dastien.
42:29Picked up along the boards by Chirac.
42:32Copper's got it into offensive territory.
42:36Can't hang on to the puck after taking a knock.
42:40Down the right wing and into the offensive zone.
42:44Quick pass to Pahal.
42:46He scores!
42:48Nice job to finish there on the play.
42:51Well, he hits that 50-goal marker for his career, James,
42:55and you knew he was looking at that one.
42:57He wanted that one on paper.
43:01Oh, that's a really tough break for the tender, James.
43:04I mean, listen, when structure breaks down
43:06and there's all kinds of stuff going on in front of you,
43:08you can't track, you can't get your eyes on the puck,
43:10and it winds up in the back of your net.
43:29The Bears have to find a way to get a couple more here
43:32if they want to try to salvage this one.
43:34Taking calculated risks, James,
43:36and jumping into the attack and pressing upwards.
43:38Now, you may give up some opportunities the other way,
43:41but you've got to go for it.
43:42Face-off here in the neutral zone,
43:44and we are back underway.
43:46And he handles the pass from the right wing.
43:48Oh, here we go!
43:50And he creeps that one out as he gets a piece of the glove.
43:53Ellis hangs on to the puck to stop the play.
43:57Seattle's on the schedule next,
43:59and tickets still available for this one,
44:01so get them before they're gone.
44:03Well past the midway mark of this period.
44:06St. Petersburg still down by two goals in this one.
44:09Hambers it from the fourth!
44:10And a big-time save on a big-time shot!
44:17Along the boards, they battle for the puck back and forth.
44:22Tries to get it to Heinen.
44:25Makes some space.
44:27That's one ball.
44:29Goaltender covers it up.
44:31We get a whistle to slow things down.
44:36Looks like lineups are set,
44:37and they're ready to get things back underway.
44:43Orbe Cubel has won a big draw on their own end.
44:47Feeds the puck to Perrin.
44:54And that's intercepted by Allen.
44:57Appleton's moving the puck through his own zone.
45:01Shakes himself clean.
45:03And that goes off the iron.
45:04It stays up.
45:05Detroit's been working hard,
45:07and it put forth a strong effort throughout this entire game,
45:10and that's the reason they have the lead.
45:11They wanted to extend their cushion,
45:13but unfortunately, that left on their side,
45:15or maybe it was good positioning by the goaltender,
45:18but nonetheless, it goes off the post and out.
45:21A chance!
45:23Oh, answers!
45:25Back with the stuff on the one-timer!
45:30A big draw on Lerman here in the offensive zone.
45:35A big draw on Lerman here in the offensive zone.
45:35A big draw on Lerman!
45:37A big draw on Lerman!
45:41The Red Wings win the draw on their own end.
45:44Detroit's moving the puck through center ice.
45:47Well, if you want to be out there at the end of the game,
45:49you've got to make smart decisions with the puck,
45:51and that's one right there,
45:52just electing to put the puck in deep,
45:54and can't play safe.
45:56From the right side, they gain the zone.
45:59Great reach with the puck check by D'Angelo.
46:01Directs it on over to Cartier.
46:04Slides it across!
46:07Here's a chance!
46:09Bobrovsky's got the puck,
46:10and he's going to slow things down.
46:12Well, he's slowing things down
46:13because his team has been underseized, James.
46:16It's the third period.
46:16It's a tight game,
46:17and he elects to get the whistle.
46:19I like this decision.
46:20It's the right one.
46:22Now everyone can get a rest,
46:23and Coach can get the right personnel out there.
46:25He says, let's get physical on that play.
46:28Quick feed to Larkin.
46:30St. Petersburg's got the puck in their own end.
46:37With possession along the wall.
46:39From the point, looks to make something happen.
46:49St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
46:55And now it's over to Struble.
47:02And he takes the pass.
47:05Oh, talk of a brutal timing with the stick.
47:08And this is so frustrating, James.
47:10You work hard to get to these spots, these positions,
47:12and then what happens?
47:13Your stick crumbles in two.
47:14And now he passes it to Dabrinkit.
47:18Almost down to the final minute here in this third.
47:23St. Petersburg's got the puck in his own zone.
47:30The Red Wings have it behind the cage.
47:33Moose it to Sider.
47:35Right side set up ahead into the middle of the ice.
47:40Tenacious battle for the puck along the wall.
47:43St. Petersburg's got the puck in the defensive end.
47:47Here's a short pass to Lozog.
47:50Picked off by Larkin.
47:51And he sidesteps the kick there.
47:54Sends it into the offensive zone.
47:57Moose it quickly over to Lozog.
47:59Picked up along the wall by Draft.
48:02Gaining momentum up along the side.
48:09And the fans on their feet recognizing a solid victory here in front of them.
48:18Oh, there's some smoke.
48:19Here he comes in on the first way.
48:22And there's the final one.
48:23This one officially went.
48:26And the losing streak continues despite the fact that this is a game that was theirs for the taking.
48:32Yeah, it's extremely frustrating.
48:33It felt like you could have had it.
48:35It came out on fire and you just weren't able to capitalize and get it done.
48:39So we have to figure out a way to reset here, James.
48:41Easier said than done now.
48:43You can feel the energy just zapped out of his feet.
48:46Well, that brings a fun night of hockey to the end for all of us here at EA Sports.
48:51I'm James Stabalski.
48:52She's Cheryl Pounder.
48:53We will see you next time at The Ring.
49:05I'm James Stabalski.
49:07I'm James Stabalski.
