I'd trade him for Michael Bolton.

You know, I was thinking about our situation today and we might not be as bad off as it seems. Here are a couple options that I see: 1) Convert Waka Flocka Chewbacca from the wing to defense. He's a big guy and I could see him being a good net clearing presence until Big Poppa gets back. 2) Make a trade. We don't have a ton of tradeable assets right now, but maybe General Tso's Chicken could pull a rabbit out of his hat. I'm thinking we could package together Destiny's Child and Can't-stop-thinkin-bout-that-girl-I-banged-in-Starbucks-bathroom-kinda-wish-I-got-her-number-espesh-cause-now-it-burns-when-I-pee-oh-well-hope-its-chillz for an elite puck moving defenseman, maybe someone like Hello Kitty. 3) If all else fails it might be time to come up with some new nicknames for the team I mean how can the team be expected to perform at an elite level with old nicknames, sometimes I feel like I have to think of everything shesh...

The kids play and Bertuzzi is scratched? There's hope for this team yet.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU!!!!

I think we're definitely trending upwards. Seen some very positive things recently. Not just the Hawks game. Some people want to focus on the failures from the first 40. I'm going to focus on the opportunities coming from the next 40. I believe in these guys.

You're right, one game doesn't mean it's a turning point. However, I think the actual turning point was right around the Winter Classic. We've lost 5 times since that game and won four. We beat REALLY good teams in Chicago and Los Angeles(twice), and played very well against the Rangers, Ducks, and Maple Leafs (all one goal games). We had two terrible games against San Jose and St. Louis. Additionally, since the WC Jimmy Howard seems to have regained (and hopefully not lost to injury again) his dominant form, and Tatar and Zetterberg have carried the team. Add some combination of Dats, Franzen, Helm, or Alfie to any of those one goal games and we probably win a couple of them and our record could very easily be 6-3. Not too shabby when you consider that Chicago, LA, St. Louis, San Jose, and Anaheim are probably 5 of the top 7 or 8 teams in the league while Toronto and the Rangers are playoff teams as well. People freak because all they see are the tight standings, but we're actually playing some pretty good hockey in spite of having a farm team.

Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive1m Other lines at the skate: Nyquist-Zetterberg-Abdelkader, Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco, Miller-Glendening-Eaves. Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive2m Based on how they're skating it looks like Bertuzzi might be scratched. Datsyuk and Franzen are skating but not ready to play.

Smurfs are above the Wings in the standings so this would be an opportunity to get some much needed points. But in the end it really depends on which team will show up. Hopefully Subban and Eller are getting Kronwalled can't stand those two.

Win at least 3 games in a row by more than a goal in 2 of them and I'll call it a turning point. We have seen them loose we have seen them win but when was the last time they WON? You know up by a goal in the 2nd not letting the other team come back in the 3rd no OT no shootout just a plain old big win. Would really like to see that happen with Montreal tonight.

Dude General Tso's Chicken isn't going to move Destiny's Child, especially cuz Suit n Tie McFly has such a hard-on for him.

So say it that way, or just ask who is that. Don't post an anti-nickname diatribe where you make crap up.

I'd trade Sammy for Boulton straight up.

Or they're scouting teams in their conference for future games.

Stamkos. Like you said, you can't go wrong but I went with Stamkos because holy hell can that guy score goals.

JT - so complete.

Kate Upton or Adriana Lima. Hmmmm, yes please.

Stamkos for sure. Btw how do you figure he is injury prone? This is the first time he's had an injury. He hasn't missed a game since he only played 79 games his rookie year, and if you call sliding into a post and your leg breaking injury prone, then you have a very broad definition of that term. Stamkos is the better player, and I believe st. Louis has been as effective as he has because of Stamkos

The east is terrible this year. I'm thinking it will be one of those 88 point 8th seed years. So that's a solid 17-15 record. Or if you'd like 13-11-8. Nice .530 hockey.

And for the love of god can we stop giving Eaves the short straw?!

My point is, if we can play like that against Chicago, we have no business losing to Montreal or Florida. This team needs to stop playing to the level of it's competition and start to take care of business.

I want to see them putting a few games together where they play really hard. No more games like that St. Louis no show. The talent is not in the lineup, but that's no excuse not to play hard every game. Today, they played really hard. Last game, they didn't. To me, that's more important than who is or isn't in the lineup. I've seen them take too many games off the last few years even when healthy.

He owes us one for that. Stevie! Give us Stamkos and yourself, they can have Kenny and Quincey!
