Howard gonna get himself traded at this rate.

End of 1st. Wings lead 1-0. This is the Wings team we'd all hoped we'd be watching every night this season.

I'm working also, just gonna track the score on my phone. LGW!

LGRW!! Watching from work today.

Jimmy brought his Hasek mojo today.. thankfully. Now, if the Wings understand that one goal is probably not enough, this could end better than one would expect, statistically.

TRUE. Um, I mean FALSE.

they look great... Jimmy Howard is his usual stellar self despite the Storm Trooper helmet. We know this might not last, but they are bringing what serves as their A game here today. oh look ANOTHER PP for the Avs. Let's continue to press our luck here, shall we, Wings???

I like Smith. Wings are playing REALLY well. wtf.

PP PP is 4 mins!

I am running back and forth from my office to this computer, trying to watch/listen. I am happy to be in the company of others whose employers do not honor MLK Day either. Money money money....

GOAL!!! Nice job Larkin and Bert. I'll temper my excitement due to Jimmy "4 Goals" Howard being between the pipes.

Wings came to play this aftertnoon, apparently. Let's see if they can stretch this beyond the first five minutes.

LOL... Avs forgot for a minute that the Wings are incapable of playing hockey. That is not always true, now izzit? Young Bert can handle some boo's, with his gap-toothed smile... I suspect he enjoyed it...

Oh Ava-lunch! Cuz its a day game. Now I get it.

I love them, 3pm ET is 9pm for us europeans

maybe.. that's a weird shot of Daley, too... he looks confused, or worse. Why am I here???? oy.

Looks like Flip's a game-time decision. Let's hope he's good to go, cuz even though he drives us crazy sometimes, he's our second-best centerman and we need him. I'm expecting Glendawg to atone. Maybe a shorty? Too much to ask? (Probably.)

Avalunch. I have a feeling we might be the entree of the day, but hey - ya never know with these guys. LGRW!! I notice my Val is in the lineup... so he didn't get boo-boo'ed all that bad last game, which is good. Glenny looks awfully pleased with himself for a guy who took a bad penalty and lost the game for us last outing.. still like him. Please stop the stupid s*** today, Wings.

I am the only person I know who is working today. NHL apparently thinks the US celebrates MLK Day and hence we have this ridiculous game time. I will go back and forth between game and office (I work at home, they closed my office here years ago)... I want to see it if they manage to win this. I never stop believing that is possible, as I have survived worse odds at my job than what the Wings are facing. If I can do it, so can they, LGRW!

I'll bloat these GDTs to multiple pages when the Wings decide they're ready to score multiple goals in a game.

Goaltending is Voodoo. I'm with @krsmith17: If we had our team set and the only missing piece was goaltending maybe then I'd take the risk picking Askarov in Round 1. But since that is not the case Yzerman should pass and rather load us up with a few goalie prospects during later rounds. Whoever is advocating singing Holtby should take a look at his stats the last three years: .907, .911, .897. He is probably as done as Howard is. Will some dumb GM throw money and term at him regardless? Probably. But it shouldn't be our GM. I'm all for singing Lehner though, if we get the chance.

Can't give Florida 6 power plays and not expect a goal.

You've never seen him at Golden Corral.

THEE Corey Pronman said that? Wasn't Corey also the one who was forced to begrudgingly admit that he was wrong about Seider during training camp this fall? That he had him ranked way too low at the draft and that he hadn't even watched Seider play that much prior? Seider was THE BEST player in his draft class. Better and more valuable than Jack Booos and Krappo Cracko. Years from now folks will do their little re-drafts and Seider will be #1 without question.
