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..

There was a reason. Sure that was soft, but do you honestly think he has been like THAT since he's been here?

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.

Sick setup by Pavel. Almost another goal. It's a players fault for taking the puck to a scoring lane. The defense can't turn around fast enough, blows his coverage, and tries to injure said player. OK.

This games pretty boring...

Like us or not, but Bettman BETTER kiss our @sses and never take us for granted. We fill the arenas of all his crappy southern markets!

I hope Ozzie comes back soon.

Every time I read this board I hear people complain about E not playing physical. Now that he does people still complain.

I dont even think it's worth it to complain about Rafalski and Ericsson anymore.. they just arent worth the anger

LOL Nick and Homer got fried by the sun.

Yeah and bring that General Manager guy with him

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.

Maybe he was under the impression that there was a strike and the season started in January.

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

I am glad. Maybe next year (if he isn't traded) he will actually earn his money. Of course then he'll probably want even more to re-sign. I hope he finishes strong and has huge trade potential in the off season... Not hating, just saying...

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

wings vs montreal at Michigan stadium

michigan stadium. by far.
