yes, he had a HORRIBLE start, but more than a quarter of the season since - look at the numbers: Over the last 22 games: 22GP 5G 14A 19P +5 Some people will continue to hate him, but as was touched on in last nights telecast, Cleary, Datsyuk and Hudler have developed some amazing chemistry and that pass last night to Dats was pure beauty... Hate all you want, but it's really starting to look like the guy just needed to get back up to NHL speed, and he has been one of our best players over the last 20+ games...

Stevie Y was the person who threw it on the ice..

Tripping and hooking is probably not what they had in mind.

Wouldn't be a Wings game if Ericsson didn't make me groan and roll my eyes at least once.

I've got a good feeling about this one so I'm staying up for the whole thing. The challenge: to stay awake, having a fair amount of beer in my system already. The answer: more beer until the game is over!

im all for hudler building up his trade value so i hope he keeps it up

ive always liked hudler and gave him plenty of time. he failed. i got pissed. and then he went and started playing better, skated hard, got points, and he totally redeemed himself

No! OTHER teams need to be involved. I was against a 2nd for the Pens for this reason, and I am against a 2nd one for the Wings for the same reason.

When I read that Hudler "caught" something, I was sure it was gonna be something that required penicillin to treat.

I hope Ozzie comes back soon.

Joey MacDonald is not a very good goaltender.

f***en bench Ericsson... seriously wtf.

LOL Nick and Homer got fried by the sun.

Michigan Stadium is my choice imagine 100,000 people chanting Lets Go Red Wings!

Yeah and bring that General Manager guy with him

But Flip offers a lot more in areas other than pure offense that help justify his salary. (FYI however, I think Huds has played great lately and the last month and a half has really earned his contract).

Why are people saying that he's suddenly gotten better since Pavel got back? He's been putting up points and playing well since before Pavel got back. Had he been putting up points as he is from the start of the season, he'd be on a 70 point pace. How is that kind of scoring not worth $2.8 mil? Hell, he's still likely to get into the 40 point area, which is what Filppula gets and no one rips him for his $3 mil cap hit.

Yeah, hes picked it up for sure and is looking a lot more confident, but IMO still not worth the $3 mil we're paying him. Also, nobody "hated" Hudler. That term gets thrown around on the internet way too much. Disagree even slightly with someone or something, and you are automatically a "hater" these days.

I'm heading to Minnesota for the Sunday game. Xcel looks like a nice stadium.

Pavel Datsyuk....saving careers and LGW's opinions on their favorite whipping boys. He really is MAGICAL!!!

Check out they Jurco guy videos on there as well. Cool stuff.

I got excited thinking it actually was going to be something NEW

wings vs montreal at Michigan stadium

michigan stadium. by far.

While it is indeed true that throwing octopi is reserved for "special occasions," I believe this particular fan was just giving Stevie Y his chance to see an octopi this year.
