If this hasn't been addressed yet, please, everybody, get back on subject.

Thanks for the description. Didn't get to see it live. Got home just about 3 minutes before his HAT TRICK!! YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!!!

You havin' fun yet?!

This is great and funny stuff! Thanks, FlashyG, for its creation, and thanks vladdy16 for getting it on here! We'll be going to a Texas Stars game, but we should still be home by 10:30, CDT, or whatever the hell it is now. GO, WINGS!!

It always seemed to me that when Setoguchi came to town, SOMEbody in the house should have one of those submarine diving horns handy.

And THAT, children, is why we need Nyquist on the team right now.

You'll find arrogance wherever you look for it. It's no more a problem on this board than anywhere. Make your point but please refrain from making blanket statements.

Love the way his voice got so high, dogs were barking all over the countryside.

They just explained why they "couldn't" review it. And from what I understand, the ref STILL screwed up, because Miller HAD NO PART in touching the puck. I hope the Wings get really really ticked.

Seriously?! If both Eddie and Doc are working tonight, they could easily just go with the Wings' feed. Yeah. That's gonna happen.

Great game! I am very proud of them, especially in a back-to-back effort. And they get a few days to rest up now. Oh, wait......!

Could also be that Abby is reacting positively to what Datsyuk said about him and is fired up now. I can go with that.

Uh. I would say offhand that it pays to go to the net. And Abs knew it was in there.

GO, CLEARY!!!

Go, Flip!! Go, Zetts!!! Could it be that they are coming together??!!

I think he said Babcock said this. Which makes it even more newsworthy.

Bada bada BOOM! Yeeeehaaaaa!!!

Looking for the perfect fricking shot. And they don't bother moving around a whole lot except when they lose the puck. Then, of course, they have to.

What I'd like to hear at the end of this game is the same thing ah swear ah heard last night around 11pm CDT. After I stopped whooping and hollering, there was this glorious kind of echo...like thousands of voices from around the world raised in sheer ecstacy at Dats's goal and the Wings' victory. All of us coming together for all the right reasons. Ah believe it, ah buhleeeve!! And just as I dozed off, and after fretting the usual list of crap, there was a smile on my face just thinking about that ending. GO, WINGS!!!

I'd like to think you're right.

Naahhh, that was Coach Bill Self at the Kansas/Iowa State game.

This is funny, clever stuff! Thanks for the chortles. Hope it won't be the last time I smile tonight...!

I hope you're wrong about Babcock, but personally, I don't trust him all that much right now. As for the "intelligent and immature", Oh heck yeah, it's possible, far as I'm concerned. When it comes to people, "immature" is mostly considered a negative word (whether it should be or not). Just sayin' both traits can be misused and be hurtful. As for the sarcasm thing, I also agree. That's one of the things I've always liked about IWO's stuff. But I think his stuff is thoughtful and creative. Again, in my mind, it's when it gets personally derogatory and hurtful for no reason.

Whether the article is totally factual or not, there is more than a grain of truth in it. Because of that, the message cannot be totally brushed off. I think with something like this, we all respond to it with some of our own identity and personality. I.E., what would WE do if we were Pavel? I would die a little if he left because it would be hurtful on more than one level. I would find it really, really difficult for me to not hate Babcock/Holland for not being more flexible with personnel. Especially Babcock at this point. That is ONE thing that can be changed right now. I want to add something else while I'm here editing. It isn't like CPO needs my support. But he did explain very calmly and logically how their system works. And some of your responses border on ignorance and arrogance and show vey little historical perspective about Kukla's column. Personally, they're one of the first I go to when I want what's even CLOSE to factual information. You don't like what CPO says? Fine. Just show a little maturity and intelligence when you respond to him.

I want to think that when Helm comes back that'll add some stability and chemistry to the team. One thing I have noticed that's good. Before the mix-up in lines of the last few games, it seemed the first two lines were skating in molasses, while the 3rd and 4th lines pretty much made the other lines look like they were standing still. Not so much in the last game or two. You can at least see some semblance of speed on all four lines now. There's always hope.
