Jimmy bails us out again. We looked less than stellar in our own zone, especially in OT. 16 in a row at home, nonetheless As far as Zetterberg's game misconduct, I've been saying it all along, and I'll say it again, making calls based on the outcome of a play are dangerous, and this is a prime example. Zetterberg doesn't even push him, but because Nikitin violently crashes into the boards, Zetterberg must have pushed him into it. What's Zetterberg supposed to do in a situation like that, let Nikitin get the puck uncontested? Calls like this really make me question the direction the league is headed in terms of discipline. Punish the action, not the result. In this case, there was nothing whatsoever on that play that warranted any kind of penalty. Beyond a horrible call by the officials.

There are Jimmy haters still?

Franzen looks horrible..start skating man..

Absolutely terrible period. NO ENERGY at all by the Wings. Good thing Lidstrom and Datsyuk at least look good out there (as per usual). The refs also missed a good 3 CLEAR calls against columbus but I am used to that. The problem is they need to play way better then that... they need to get possession time and throw that puck on net. I expect this team comes on the ice with much more determination in the 2nd and 3rd.

Yes. I was more than a bit surprised. I thought the game started at 7:30 so I turned the center ice feed on and Kronwall literally scored right as I was grabbing my jersey.

sad.

Probably the most undeserved 2 points ever, but I'll take them Columbus really are the worst team in the league when the Wings can play like that and win.

Flip should shoot for Hudler from now on!

If Franzen followed up that play he would have had the rebound for the wide open net.

Bah, why cant they utilize instant replay to make the correct call on that? hmm? Someone from toronto needs to make a call to the box saying Z is innocent

Take a good look folks, that's likely the first and last time you'll ever see Hank get thrown out of a game.

So how does CBJ not get a penalty swarming homer at the end like that? If we roughed up crosby like that infront of our net Id bet we get a call

If faceoffs during a PP is a problem, why the f*** isn't the retired Kris Draper our current faceoff coach?

Hull - Datsyuk - Devereaux was the 2nd line. Robitaille - Larionov - Holmstrom was the 4th line. Of course, there was hardly any difference.

Franzen is having a brutal game right now.

I wonder what would've happened if a cheerleader had squirted him? esteef

So I'll be at the game with my friends and Jack (southernwingsfan). He manged to get 4th row in section 126, so look for him if you know what he looks like. I won't be down there because I've got a single seat right in front of the cameras, great view into the visitors tunnel. Maybe I'll stand up and wave like all those other crazy people that do it the entire game Enjoy the game, I'm expecting to see a fun one. Go Wings!!!

I'll be at this one

To be honest, I'd be pretty pissed if some mascot from an opposing team sprayed me in the face and eyes with that crap while I'm trying to enjoy a hockey game. I dunno if I would have reacted like him, but still that seems pretty inappropriate for the mascot to instigate.

Any trade for a top 6 forward would likely involve Hudler or Filppula being moved. Fixed. I'll take it.

I didn't think my dear hubby could surprise me after 34 years, but damned if he didn't. He walked into the room the other day and said, "I've been looking online for ticket information and handicapped facilities at the Big House." My jaw hit the floor - this from a guy who has never been much of a hockey fan - and he's serious about this! My God, I may just get the chance of a lifetime! This is why I stay married to the sweetheart.

I miss Gary Thorne's play by play.

Maybe it should be Vancouver vs St. Louis in the WC
