Jimmy is playing great tonight

We need to score and stuff.

If the Wings don't consider this a blessing from the hockey gods and go SCORE A DAMNED GOAL now, then they will be punished. We don't get many breaks like this one.

Uh oh, a Ranger is making his NHL debut tonight. Put him down for one goal at least.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Should have let Jimmy stop it Thanks Green. Good job Jimmy!!

Does that apply to Nyquist? He's a Michi-Gander (Goose)?

I'm re-living good ol' times and listening to Ken Kal... oh yeah!

Updated: http://wingsarena.tumblr.com Almost have the steel wrapped all the way around on the lower portion. Bunch of concrete prefabs in place for the rows of seats in the upper.

If you want some butt pats from BoS, you gotta kick Ranger butt first, Wings... let's do it!

Good lord the 2 Ranger announcers couldn't whine anymore.

Overturned! Color me shocked!

Howard was the only Wing to show up in the 1st... hence we are not yet trailing by a couple of goals.

Wings have no short-handed goals this season, only team with none. I believe it.

I may never understand why a linesman will just stand there and hold the puck waiting for a center to commit a tossable infraction.

Seriously 2 Rangers announcers...

Come on, Wings. Kick some buttocks.

What's the significance of going by their career successes only up to age 27? I'm failing to see how that is a necessity to determine who is the better player. What it does do is skew the numbers horribly in Toews' favor. You're essentially comparing what Datsyuk was able to do in 3 years to what Toews was able to do in 8 years, and then arguing that because Toews did more in those 8 years hes the better player. Also, regardless of how you want to cut the seasons to try to argue your case, Stanely Cup count is a horrible indicator to determine who is better because its a function of team skill, not individual skill, and also has a lot to do with luck, health, and relative quality of opposition during the cup run. Case in point: you know who has more Stanley Cups than Toews? Jeff Beukeboom. Going by your criteria that would make him a better player. We both know that's absurd. Conn Smyth: Also a problem. Based on relative quality of teammates (and opponents during the SCF) during stanley cup run which makes it a flawed stat to use for a couple reasons. One is that the Blackhawks have won the cup more times than the Wings have during their respective careers (and particularly during your little age restriction), so Toews has had a way better opportunity presented to him to win it than Datsyuk. In addition to that, the winner of this award is measured as a comparison of players in that particular final, and not throughout the rest of the league. Toews winning the Conn Smyth means he was better than his teammates in that particular cup run and thats about it. It doesn't assess how he compares to people on other teams (maybe with the exception of whoever lost in the finals that year), nor does it assess how he compares to players in different years. Mike Vernon has more Conn Smyth trophies than Dominic Hasek and Brodeur (and that's without putting a cute age restriction on the criteria). It clearly doesn't mean he was the best goalie of the three.

What were the ages of Datsyuk and Toews when they each entered the league? ^ With that one sentence your entire argument and paragraph just got wasted. Come on Bill need better evidence. You haven't convinced me (even Chicago fans laughing at Kickazz are wondering why you haven't come up with a better argument for them). You're not trying hard enough!

Wings haven't won at MSG since 2009. That needs to be fixed.

What? Nyquist was our best shooter last year and doesn't Datsyuk have 2 just this year?

The hot n ready period with the "cardboard crust" power play?

the 3rd period will be known as the Hot-N-Ready Period

So all will go according to plan? Psh, heaters gunna heat.

If you can't handle the heat, get out of the oven!
