Maltby!!!!!!!!

Typical Wings, dominate for 90% of the period, be down by one at the end.

I wonder if Matt Cullen is ever stalked in Minnesota by demented Twilight fans.

Off topic, but deserves a mention. Tigers take a 2-0 lead

Datsyuk should have shot there he had a wide open net!

That was Draper-esque.

Nearly everyone has called Datsyuk out for those turnovers. What more do you want? A trade Datsyuk thread? Not gonna happen. Ericsson is expendable, which is why he gets more attention for his mistakes. He can't fight. He'd only get hurt. Staubitz and Colton Gillies are tough customers.

At least on a positive note, we looked good for the majority of the period. bad news is that our PP is still craptastic and we gave up a final minute goal as we did much of last season.

The PP will start clicking once we get Rafalski out there. oh. crap.

Maltby needs to get off the point on the powerplay.

I'd say it's been the best line so far this season. Miggy gets the Tigers on the board. 1-0!

I love the new version of Two kids and a Goat line.

I love that video. Roenick is/was a loudmouth, but he was great for the game. He's a perfect example of how a guy can have personality without being Sean Avery.

I see what you're trying to say, but IMO you're comment is too declarative. Because the Wings did not score immediately after does not mean it had no effect. I do agree that see Abby punch him was good enough in its own right though.

Its not good to have a guy sitting in the press box healthy for the first 2 weeks of the season if you ask me.

That's funny. Simple, but very effective. Thanks. Edit: I wish he would play soon; I'm anxious to see what he can do, also.

Hudler on the point on the PP reminds me of when Jason Williams was back there. Scares the s*** out of me because if he makes a mistake he doesn't have the speed to recover.

this dude pissed off the wrong gypsie.

Guess the league needs to look at these types of dangerous headshots as well.

Want Z to score, he was out of petrol last game. Hopefully he and Dats will have tremendous sex together.

Franzen looked like s*** in last year's playoffs aside from a couple good shifts. And then he got hurt, and people started giving him the ankle excuse as to why he wasn't doing well, even though he was skating about as well as he normally did. Zetterberg and Datsyuk were both better in 2010. Datsyuk was FAR better last year. Z was hurt last year but much better when he did play. And Z was better in 09. And 08, for that matter. Franzen did outscore Dats in the last three years, but both Dats and Lidstrom outplayed him. And before you say "Well, that's three top players..." let's look at the last three playoffs both Huds and Franzen played in. Franzen had 44 points in 47 games playing with Datsyuk and/or Zetterberg. Hudler had 29 points in 55 games playing with Filppula, Draper, or Helm. Over 82 games, those numbers work out to 77 for Franzen and 43 for Hudler. Now we take away the requisite 20 that was brought up earlier from Franzen and get 57. That's not a huge difference, given ice time differences between the two. Were it Hudler on Dats or Z's line, would he be the "clutch playoff performer" instead of Franzen?

Was there a noticable difference before and after? Yup Are you the type of person who would deny this effect of a hockey fight to all ends? Yup Does it feel great to have proof that the wings players also agree it can have a spark, contrary to some people's ridiculous thoughts on here? Definitely

When ads come on the jerseys is when I've had enough. Otherwise, f*** it. They can make each goal brought to you by taking it in the poopshoot for all I care.
