Turris went down worse than Ryan on that.

You guys hate on Ericsson all you want. I’ll be over here calling Bobby Ryan a “lith”py little p.o.s.

Wiercoch should get 3rd man in for headlocking Ericsson from behind. Big Rig would have jacked Turris if they went.

Ryan is such a diver lol.

Play for the win not OT, boys!

Do or Do Not. There is no try. I guess it's typically "Do Not."

Hearing him say "thenatorth" is hilarious.

Paul's has 1+3 noses 2+1 both Ouellette and Marchenko have a helper and are +5

Pretty even across the scoresheet. http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1013909 Tommy McC in net.

Omg Ericsson

Meanwhile GR have just gone 9-1 up!

Nice rip by Hank to tie it! Bingo, bango, BUNGHOLE!

I guarantee the Wings know they are only a goal from tying this. I hope they do... and that the damned game does not go to shoot out. Please just step it up and win in regulation. edit: I hit send as Z scored. LOL~

He's still too young and not past his prime enough yet for Kenny to sign him.

New Years resolution be stronger on the puck. Harder to play against. Somebody throw hit yes a nasty hard hit. I want blood. Doesn't anyone on this team get mean?

There's plenty of nasty on the back end, just not the kind we want.

Center Ice only has the CBC feed here. It isn't great but not terrible thus far

I dunno. I'm jonesing for a big trade, but if Helm and Franzen are our most expendable forwards, then we're in pretty good shape. And, realistically, Holland couldn't get much for those two even if he wanted to. I mean, that's not me trying to knock them, I'm just saying - I can't imagine there's much trade value between the two of them. And are we really that eager to move Helm so we can bring in...Mitch Callahan? A fourth-line winger who can't play center, can't skate like Helm, probably can't work like Helm can in a top-six role, isn't significantly bigger than Helm or Glendening, and has all of nine minutes of NHL experience? I get that Helm being pushed into a winger role is maybe less than ideal, and I get that Franzen is streaky and way past his prime, but replacing those two with Callahan and Pulkkinen doesn't really make us a better team. I know the idea is we'd be getting Yandle or Green, but, again, little trade value. If we're being honest, Yandle is going to cost at least one of Nyquist/Tatar/Mantha, and giving Franzen and/or Helm to a conference rival for a rental who's almost inevitably going to make a killing in free agency (and/or circle back to the Caps, meaning we will have given the Caps Franzen and/or Helm for nothing, unless we manage to win the Cup) doesn't strike me as smart asset management. I think if we're going to get anything of real worth for a guy like Franzen, our trade partner probably needs to be very short on high-end goal-scorers but good enough that they're maybe one goal-scorer away from being one of the few truly elite teams in the league. So...Nashville? Ryan Ellis?

Domi does look very impressive. NHL-ready I'd say. Same with Duclair.

The Wings don't need a young defenseman with potential, they have plenty of those. They need someone in their prime who can step in right now, RH, that can play the point on the PP. This situation reinforces the amazing job that Ken Holland has done in rebuilding the Wings on the fly.

Go Canada Go! Also..tickets for the World Juniors have been sold in packages for sometime now. Nothing to do with being in Canada. lol

Smith isn't defensively responsible enough to handle pressure as a lone defensemen if we were to get pinned in our end. I think that's the reason. Its simple. It works. Its pretty true.

Lol that may have been underpayment but that is MAJOR overpayment... You're saying that a package of Smith / DeKeyser, Nyquist / Jurco, Pulkkinen, and a first MIGHT get Taylor Hall?... Wow...
