the rest have gone to ask holland to call Tatar up

Hey, at least DeKeyser is starting to look more and more like a top D man

Cory Emmerton has developed into a very solid role player. One of the few players that has exceeded expectations this season.

I hope Toots loaded up on Caribou pregame and comes out flying and raises and sets the bar for energy and effort for the entire team tonight. 2pts cha cha cha!

Good. Toots brings the energy. Patty could hardly walk when I saw him in Nashville, so I was beyond surprised when he played last game. Perhaps that was a bad idea?? Wings will prevail tonight... I just know it!

Can't wait for the libs to take over this country so that everybody gets a medal. There are no losers. This competetiion stuff is killing me. Not fair.

Someone needs to drop burrows

Game

Kicking it old-skool tonight - listening to the radio commentary over the internet whilst doing a nightshift. Not done this since, ooooh, 2008

He still has war-flashbacks about the last 2 red wings- canucks games

MS PAINT!!!

I absolutely guarantee that we would regret trading Smith or even sitting him for extended periods of time. As I've said before, this is exactly what people were saying when Fischer came into the league. My lord people here hated him for quite some time. Yes, Smith hasn't been as good as we expected in his first season, but he'll get a lot better. To do that, not only does he have to stay here, but he has to get icetime. Some guys just take a couple of years to really get going. Obviously, especially with our suckage, peoples' patience is particularly short. But we can't be stupid about this - he will be a key part of our future. There's a reason that he's been highly touted.

Watching Dan Cleary play instead of him makes me sick to my stomach, every game.

All throughout the lockout, I was wondering how Bettman was going to screw up this Winter Classic (and, in the process, create another Penguins Classic) and I guess I have my answer.

So ******* broken. We DESERVED that second point. The shoot out can burn in hell. Commence ugly crying...

Danny D second star

f the damn so

So so bad in breakaway situations. Sigh. This reeks of a game the Nucks will undeservedly win in a SO.

Well, I hope Howard doesn't shoot any pucks into his own net here.

Or it goes off his body

Shoot for the playoffs boys!!! Wings 6, nucks 0.

Just got back from all-state chorus about an hour ago from Erie. Saw the Flames debacle in a Buffalo Wild Wings where the waitress was very glad to have a non-pens fan to wait on. Got a free sympathy draft after the loss. Better to get that out of their system and buckle down for the last few. If the Wings pull this out, they're tied for 8th and still have a game in hand. They still control their own destiny. Let's Go Wings! I think Howard is going to have a bit of a mad-on and stand on his head. 5-2 Wings. Goals from Datsyuk, Franzen, Kronwall, DeKeyser, and Filppula. 3 assists for Z, and 2 for Kindl and Pavs.

But we need someone like Tatar who actually shoots not a playmaker like Nyquist. But I do believe Nyquist has the higher ceiling.

I don't blame him.

Hey NHL, way to take a great event and water it down!!
