Mickey with a subtle little dig at Franzen there.

Gus! That's a good goal.

Interesting strategy to play defense exclusively against a backup goalie.

Mule can't even float one into an empty net right now.

Bob is out. That might be a huge break for the Wings tonight.

I believe September. He should be prepared by then with a nice two-year deal from Holland this summer.

Nice to be down just a goal. Expecting some return calls the rest of the way from the refs since they really gift-wrapped that period to Columbus. Glad Bertuzzi gutted it out to play tonight. Certainly would have missed his presence otherwise. He couldn't have been more detrimental in the period.

That was a high stick, but moron Bertuzzi caused it. Why couldn't that flu stick around for longer?

Gus! The kid line is saving the season. Sheahan might be the best passer on the team with Pav out.

Get the non-traditional hockey market into the playoffs so 16 people will watch them get swept by the Bruins.

Refs have spotted Columbus two goals. What a travesty these idiots have to ruin such a huge game.

Ref show tonight. Maybe they can allow us to watch some hockey soon.

Bad rebound for sure, but either Quincey or Lashoff could have played defense or attempted to clear the puck out.

Nice sell there, market value. Got a penalty because of his dramatic reaction.

I mostly hate having him on the team at all, but I do agree with you. Just don't see how Andersson has any long-term spot in the organization when guys are healthy. He's about the eighth best center and only slightly better than Emmerton.

Fortunate to get a point. Still disappointing to not get the second. Probably not a great thing to have Kindl and Lashoff out there in OT, as both had really rough games. Jimmy, Gus and Tatar basically stole a point though because the Wild badly outplayed the Wings. Franzen is back to being disinterested in hockey -- such an infuriating player to watch. Overall, the Wings got 7 of a possible 8 points with a depleted lineup against good opponents. These next four games are equally important in the playoff race.

Not sure it was deserved, but that's a huge point. Thankfully Nyquist and Tatar bring it every game. That second point sure would be nice. Maybe Franzen can skate some in OT since that hasn't really occurred through 60 minutes.

The PK is clutch. Some huge kills late in regulation the past few games.

And a penalty following a goal to kill the momentum. Who shot that out? I'm gonna assume Quincey is probably responsible.

Tatar! Don't take that line off the ice.

Smith is more of an offensive threat right now than Franzen.

Complete meltdown. Quit playing Franzen's line so damn much -- they have done nothing all night. This is a perfect opportunity to gain points in the standings and the Wings have stood around and watched a hockey game for 50 minutes.

Koivu gets away with everything. That honestly all started though with Smith turning the puck over. Wings have to start skating and applying pressure. Blew another two-goal lead at home, but this one was well deserved.

It feels like the kid line never plays at even strength.

10 SOG nearly two periods into the game. Bryzgalov is in goal -- get the puck and put it on net. Wings have been chasing the puck all night.
