Winging It In Motown · Nov 9, 2016
Recap: Red Wings 3, Flyers 2 (SO)
Tonight, the Red Wings have an election night tilt in the cradle of democracy: Philadelphia. Does anyone actually call Philadelphia that? Does it even make sense?! I don’t know, it sounded cool for a second.
Anyway, the Wings are back in Philly after dropping a 4-3 stunner in overtime just last Wednesday. If you recall, Mark Streit tied the game for the Flyers with a little over a minute left on a controversial goal, with Brayden Schenn stuffing the crease. Despite review and Jeff Blashill’s impassioned rebuttal, the goal stood. A Darren Helm goof lead to a Claude Giroux rush ending with a Jake Voracek one-timer and ball game.
