    I understand. I hope Bert is able to come back (at full effectiveness) soon. The Wings have sorely missed him in the top six. Abby has done surprisingly well the last month, but IMO the Wings need someone like Bert (or Abby) on each of the top 3 lines. I wish Andersson was more physical, because he would be great with Brunner and Nyquist if he had that drive in the corners, in front of the net, etc.

    Tatar would have buried it.

    Great first period by Jimmy, that's about it. It feels like one of those games where Howard is going to have to stick up for himself when he gets crashed because no one else does. I'd be fine with a Wings D-man taking a penalty for crosschecking the crap out of someone after they ran into Howard.

    Why can't Tatar play on that 2nd line, next to Franzen and Filppula? He's more able to do it than Cleary. You say we don't have enough talent, and yet we send down someone who showed he can score goals. Not saying Tatar is a great NHL scorer, but he's better than what we currently have in his place. Is he that big a defensive liability? I don't think so.

    It's probably because the Cleary bashing here is greatly disproportionate to his actual play.

    I always liked Tuzzi. He knows where to go to create scoring chances, great on the cycle, can pass and shoot well, is a .5 to .6 ppg player and isn't easy to get the puck from or push around. That's why he's so effective with Dats. And at least he can score in a damn shootout. He's right at the end of the line, but he'd be effective for us this year.

    He fills a (desperate) need.

    Who's going to tie up guys in the corners, go to the front of the net, etc on that line? The Wings need to get tougher in front of the net and in the corners. Making pretty plays on the perimeter doesn't do much to score on a goalie like Rinne.

    We don't have enough skill on the top lines because we have the Best GM in the league. NHL.com said so. esteef

    of course he can, he just doesn't care to be one.

    Shockingly impressed with Cleary-Filppula-Franzen line. They've been able to keep it deep for the majority of their shifts. Howard is worth every dime of his upcoming $5.3M

    Why is he still on the team this year? Meanwhile, Tatar is playing in the minors, despite outplaying most of our forwards this season. Yet Babcock is ranked as the best coach in the league by various websites. Go figure.

    Does Nashville play this hard against everyone, or just us? We have to make every chump team look good, don't we? And Carlo Coca Cola with a penalty.

    This team plays like it's against the rules to lay a body on a guy on the boards. They really don't try.

    How bad of a line is Franzen - Filppula - Cleary? I have more confidence in the fourth line scoring a goal.

    I completely understand realistic expectations but this thread is just to celebrate his progress. I don't think anyone was arguing that it didn't take an incredible amount of hard work from a lot of people to get him t this point. Maybe this just isn't the place to shut down people's high hopes for Vladdy with opinions on how limited he will be. Let's just admire how far he's come.

    Waiting for the playo................................................oh yeah, that's right. I guess Tatar is helping someone get into the playoffs. Good to see GR has priority over the big squad now.

    Z!! I guess the way to score on Rinne is to miss the net! Wonder if D meant to shoot it wide. I'd think so because he missed by a couple feet.

    Just wanted to say I really miss the days when you would add to the conversation instead of the sarcastic drive-bys that are becoming SOP for you. Franzen is suffering from bi-polar disorder this game; he'll make a good play then forget what he was doing.
