Holy crap, they're not gonna waive that off?? Isn't O'Halloran the ref tonight?

please hockey gods, let the Wings win this in regulation. We offer you Kindl as a holy sacrifice.

You had me sold after the first five words alone.

Not done yet boys. Got to avoid the shootout at all costs

Terrible. What really makes me sad is that I think if the situation had been reversed and the Wings had a 2 on 1 on Neuvirth, the Wings would still not manage to score.

Two periods left to ge it back. Cone out hard. Change up the D. Kronwall-Smith. Ericsson-Kindl, DeKeyser-Quincey. I liked how Smith and Kronwall gelled while Ericsson was out last season.

If he gets a hat trick he will be rewarded with 3 minutes less ice time next game.

Sooo bad.. Yes?

Yay hope!

as Ned Flanders would put it: This team is strugg-diddily-uggling and finding ways to loo-diddly-oose every game right now ugh

Kronwall to the locker room. Hopefully it's an equipment issue or something. They're already playing a man down with Kindl.

Weiss on ice is nice.

Not at all. Just think it's funny because he catches a lot of heat from Wings fans and he scores in his first game back.

Evidently, we cannot score or win without Weiss on Ice.

Weiss and Sheahan look great together. Should keep them together not just on PP

Weiss is the life blood that fuels our team.

Of course Weiss gets the goal...OF COURSE.

If the Wings lose this game they should just give up on life. Call the NHL and tell them we forfeit every game on our schedule and we will gladly take last place.

When it comes to beer Germans never joke. Ever.

Don't worry Weiss is back

Hey, be nice to my sock account.

I don't get why people are saying that Backman doesn't want to put in the work. From everything I've heard and read, he has been putting in the work on and off the ice, he just isn't putting up the points he was expected to. He was one of the best defenseman on the entire Griffins team, in last years playoffs. Coming in to training camp everyone, including Babcock had high hopes for him. He didn't exceed expectations in camp but I don't think he was really a disappointment either. He had a slow start with the Griffins this year, but not one of the games I've watched, did he look out of place, certainly not to warrant a scratch over Brennan Evans. Can you really blame the guy for getting frustrated? He was one of the top defenders in a much better league for the past year or two, now all of a sudden he is being scratched for guys that are completely inferior in skill set, who also have no future in the NHL. There is no question that the SHL is a better league than the AHL, and maybe he has every intention to go there where he will get the big minutes, and then come back in a year or two to earn a spot on the Red Wings roster or another NHL team. Like I've said before, I do feel that Backman has the potential to be an NHL defenseman, but none of us know exactly what really happened there. However, I do wish he were still down in GR over Evans. But then, I also wish Ouellet were up with Detroit over Kindl too... Oh well, we'll have to wait and see how this one pans out...

I made a bet with my brother-in-law (Habs fan), that Detroit would be ahead of Montreal by Christmas. We made the bet on November 26th when Detroit were 6 points back with two games in hand on Montreal. The deal was if Montreal are ahead after December 23rd (tonight), I owe him two dozen beer, if Detroit are ahead, he owes me two dozen beer and a 26er of rum. I desperately need a Wings victory over the lowly Sabres, as well as the Islanders to come up huge with a regulation win over the Habs tonight... GO WINGS! f*** THE HABS!

Ha. I was drunk and didn't catch it till this morning.

"Hold my beer."
