I'm backkkkk

We really don't have anyone in front of the net blocking Elliott's sight. He sees everything.

Is Emerick calling DD "Del Keyser"?

Kindl needs to teach Kronwall how to get a shot through from the point. He's one of the best at it on the team.

Gotta love Sobotka giving Bettman a big "f*ck you" there with octocopter!!!

Bettman's probably at the game since he was at the Joe for the presser this morning - great Fu moment.

So they just couldn't help themselves and had to bring up that the Penguins weren't playing at all today. Hey, guess what you idiots, we don't give a f*** about the Penguins.

Or he's being inserted into the lineup just to punch Barrett Jackman in his face tomorrow.

Maybe call what should be called? I don't ever say a word about officiating, but I have to reply to this. How do you not call a too many men, when even Eddie of all people saw it and called it out? That, called correctly, could have potentially changed the current score (the goal happened shortly after our PP ended, we could have still had a 1-man advantage at that time). But regardless, the players are still responsible for the goal, call or not, so that isn't an excuse. Just saying, just because there has only been 3 penalties called, doesn't mean that they've done a good job. It's the quality of what gets called and doesn't get called that determines whether this guy is doing his job well or not.

There is a difference between rough and cheap. Backes crosses that line too often imho. There is a difference between hitting hard and hitting to injure. I love a power forward who hits hard. One who hits to injure has no place in the game.

So that means St Louis sucks too? Because they just managed one goal through two periods?

This is essentially a playoff game for us. If this is the game we're bringing to the playoffs we're not gonna get very far.

Big surprise Backes being a POS. That's one of this favorite moves. A little chop at a guys skates as he's headed to the boards. Or as Backes is trying to get out of the zone. He chops the skates, they go down in a heap and he skates on.

We've already established O'Halloran and his handpicked crew are on the job today.

ALRIGHT AL! SCREW BETTMAN!!

It's ALWAYS time for a Kronwalling.

Vladdy16 hits the nail in the head. Wings fans have been spoiled for decades with Illitch. Those who were here for the lean years before can fully appreciate it. Those who've only been fans since the "boom years" can't fully appreciate what we have as Wings fans. I've said it before about how NO GM in the league is going to give Detroit a break in a deal and be responsible for helping them get back on top. Decades of low draft picks, high amounts of man games lost to injury, the tragic ends to the careers of Konstantinov and Fischer... it's truly amazing the Wings have been able to succeed as long as they have. This is a down year in a big way and they are STILL in contention for a playoff spot. I'm NOT saying long-time fans are better, but folks need some perspective. Illitch has been the model owner for an NHL franchise in many ways.

Why is Tootoo not playing in a game against the toughest team in our division? Is he hurt, or is this part of Babcock's idiocy?

DeKeyser looks right at home in a Wings uniform. I got man love for him.

did Babs say "ass" on tv? ha

Not even NHL 13 can do that.

Went golfing this morning...check. Won $5 golfing...check. Got a glass full of rum...check. Wife is out shopping and I get to watch the game in peace...check. Wings...please don't ruin one of the best days of this young Spring.

Woo hoo, a game I get to watch because of the early start! Although the last one I saw was against Chicago, so please boys, don't do that again.

WIN!! Wings win 5-2 in a lopsided battle in an epic time machine induced reunion. Abdelkader hat trick Hudler 1 goal 1 assist Ciccarelli 1 goal Ysebaert 2 assists Cheveldae 28 saves 1 assist GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!

Didn't he just propose yo build a 900m. Dollar hockey arena and he will pay for nearly all of it? Damn you illitch for holding out we want a billion dollar arena!
