*pats butts* Every game feels like a must win now.

No gdt minutes before puck drop?!? Philly lost to the pens today 4-1, so we're still in a playoff spot for meow. I think the only change in the lineup is kronwall in for marchenko. Here's the Panthers lineup. We'll be facing our old defensive stalwart Jakub kindl, let's hope were finally benefitting from his horrendous giveaways. There's also another familiar face in their lineup... https://youtu.be/6-HR6v8JmiM Maul these kittens. DEJA VÚ!

I cannot say in polite company the things I'm going to do for those goalposts. SO happy to get 2 points in regulation.

4 unanswered goals

I have no idea how this game is tied right now lol

Ericsson has had a bad career, but yet he's never a scratch. It's amazing.

As Captain Beard said today - This IS the playoffs.

Thank you to all Wings players. That was a hard working win.

Datsyuk is too smart to decline too much more, and even if he loses another step you can just slide him over to the wing with larkin or aa. Having him to mentor Larkin/Athanasiou/svech/mantha/etc is important and a great asset to have. Like a player/coach. Sure, injuries could be a problem, but having pavel effing Datsyuk help teach the incoming core for 50-60 games a year is still 50-60 games a year that one of the best hockey minds to ever play the game is rubbing off on the youngens. Unless he falls of a huge cliff, I don't see how this is even debatable.

take away space from the shooter... they need to close off room quicker, can't give them easy looks like that

Need another goal... I don't trust Howie with only a goal lead. He usually allow a goal in the last few minutes of a period or game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jagr is beast man. 43 and faster than Zetterberg. xD

LOL Ericsson threw that body? what am i seeing and Glenny? haha wut

Seriously, almost all of his goals came at really clutch moments.I don't get all the hats for him at all. Ha. And rabble raiser loses the bout.

the kid! get it to OT, we can go from there need every point

He's cooled off, but still. Good timing dylarks. We've scored the same amount of goals as them. 😂

Ekblad basically fell and they called Helm. Just a joke tonight.

yeah horrible period, getting closed off by the panthers seemingly at will, owned physically and caught a lucky early whistle

The biggest problem is that this defense is trash. Only 3 of them should be in the league. Get some legit puck movers not guys that blindly rim the puck like Quincey and e

Two chances to clear and helm blows both of them

Love the name Errorson. It's fitting.

Good

I suggest you read the rest of my post. No need to get snappy. I suggested a hypothetical scenario. You can check how our GR roster and see who may have the potential to crack the line up. 2 veterans taking up a 12 man forward roster space. Do we have more than 10 worthy forwards knocking on the door by 2018? I doubt it. Just as a side note our 2008 stanley cup roster had the following age range of players - Two players that were 40+ year olds. Eight players that were 35-40 year olds. Four 30-34 year olds. Drake - Draper - Maltby was our third line. Holmstrom was 35 and on the first line. If Draper, Drake and Maltby can be good enough to be part of a third line on a cup team then a 38/39 year old Datsyuk can be as well. Draper only produced 17 points in the 08 season. So 50 points from a 39 year old would be nice. Hell even 36 points wouldn't be bad as long as the cap hit is worth it. Jagr is 43 and his cap hit is $3.5 million and currently has 55 points on his team. Let's see I just forwarded the clock a few thousand hours, then rewound it a few more thousand and moved forward a couple to the present. Time travel is fun.

You know who has a cup and actually named Henrik? The REAL King Henrik in Detroit. King Henrik. King Hank. King Beard. The Beard.

I'd say no. Any trophy won by CHI will likely lead to Patrick "20-cent" Kane break his soberness and go banana again. Blackhawks, as a team, cannot let him down that way. Unless, of cause, City of Chicago shuts down their taxi and call-girls services for at least a month.
