I wanted to use the Winter Classic GDT I made one last time, adjusted it to fit this game. Huge one against the Leafs, this is a game we really gotta win. Get it done boys. LETS GO WINGS!!!

I'll be the first to say it. Glendening pots his first! Go Wings!

We now have an explanation on why Babs didn't play him early in the year, Tatar wasn't inviting him to his parties.

When I was that age, I was doing similar things. Only I was in my own home town, in my native country. My father was still alive and very available for guidance and perspective. And I wasn't making bank. And I wasn't nearly as high strung to begin with. It's a strange period in his life, no doubt. But IMO, they're the golden years. I would recommend not growing up too fast. You can never go back.

I personally like the fact that Babs realized the vets weren't getting it done and buried them on the 3rd line. Let the kids do the work, they have been the ones winning us games.

at least hes not on the purple teletubby costume with brendan smiths drivers license level yet.

They need something to cheer for.

With Columbus losing, and the Leafs down late, last nights game against Montreal becomes a mulligan. Beat Toronto tomorrow and all of a sudden we're in the drivers seat.

If I was 23 years old and had that kind of money I'd be in prison.

After 73 games: Datsyuk has played 39 games. Zetterberg has played 45 games. Both have been out at the same time for a big chunk of time. Every player projected to be even a semi-regular center has missed at least 12 games, Andersson is the only one who has played more than 45. Miller, Quincey, and Kronwall are the only players to have played 70 or more games. Tatar and Lashoff, along with the three above, are the only players to have missed fewer than 10 games. Nyquist and Tatar are the two leading goal scorers. They have dressed 30 skaters and have had 11 rookies dress. If you had been told those facts at the beginning of the year, haw many games out of the playoffs would you think they'd be right now? I would have figured close to the bottom of the division. Instead, if the season ended today they would be in the playoffs. I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty proud of what this team has accomplished, even if it's not what past teams have been able to do.

Well, it happened.

Au contraire , mon ami: I've got Jen Murphy, known across our hockey league as The Jenerator. As a defensive pairing, our goalie once informed us that we'd gone 11 games in a row without getting scored upon. Murph is a Class IV white water kayaker. An excellent mountain biker. Restored her own 63 Volvo. Dabbles in triathlons. Is too smart to ever go out with Avery or Phanuef. And most relevantly, is a huge Red Wing fan. Cuthbert would be fun for a long weekend, but as far as a lifetime goes, I've got the trump card.

Remember earlier in the season and everyone wondered why Tatar wasn't called up? I think stuff like this has something to do with it. It speaks to his maturity or lack of. I'm not saying he has to be a choir boy, but it's just not the "Red Wing Way". Most people making a six figure salary and can afford to live there, probably aren't guys in their early 20's. throwing loud parties. Not to mention, he's put Helm in a bad spot, as the owner or original lease.

This rules so much! I want to hit up a Tatar party.

why do you have the stereo on while you're watchimg tv? cause i like to party

Another assist so far tonight - 5 points in 5 games. +5.

Columbust lost and looks like leafs are headed that way .... Looks like we got the help we wanted , let's hope the teams keep losing and we can win a few in a row here starting with tomorrow

Hilarious. Doesn't surprise me one bit and does not make me dislike him less. He is a ball of energy on the ice, figured he would be a handful in real life.

I'll say this, for me it's not a matter of thinking that the team is sinking or that there aren't (some) reasonable excuses for (some) of the loses. I agree, the injuries tore this team up all year. BUT we're in every game we lose, tied in a lot of games we lose, and leading in almost a third of the games we lose. When you're leading by two goals going into the third you need to win more often then we do. It would be one thing if, because of injuries, we rarely got leads in game. It's another thing entirely to have leads so often and blow them. And you can't blame that all on injuries.

Obviously I hope the kid wasn't hurt, but everything about that situation is pure comedy gold. I couldn't help but laugh, harder and harder with each replay.

You lost me at Don Cherry.
