We should be good in the 4rd. Wings had a terrible defensive breakdown in the first minute and then brainfarts all around on the second goal. Wings got a nice power nap in during the second and should come out and dominate this final period.

Least not we forget, when he broke his leg before, he skated off on his own power. Let's hope all it is was a tweak and this is jus for safety reasons because this team CANNOT afford to lose Filppula.

Why do I keep getting neg'd for the same thing other people say? Oh well, your jealousy fuels me. Go Wings!!!!

I think Conklin forgot the game was still being played after that shot?

Ahhh crap. Filppula...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Wings decided to stop playing apparently. Nothing Conk Block could do.

No TV at work, no problem:

I'll be at work during the game, but I'm sure the GDT will go like this: Wings come out flying - LGW is happy Wings get a PP - LGW is sad because we don't score Bertuzzi takes penalty - Hate fest on Bert Colorado scores - LGW hates the Wings End of 1st Begin second - Colorado scores - DRW are dead to LGW Helm break away miss - Damn it Helm, we still love you. Betuzzi breakaway miss - Damn it Bert, you're so old and full of suck. Filppula scores - GMR still hates Filppula End 2nd Begin 4rd - Wings score on a PP - LGW has faith again Datsyuk scores - LGW loves the DRW again. Draper* ENG - Oh Draper*..... Game end. * May substitute with Zetterberg.

Reminds me of a Kronwall hit. Explodes up into the player.

I think he already has the perception of playing favorites when it comes to star players, i don't expect anything different with a Shanaban on Tootoo after letting Lucic off free. And for lazy people like me who don't want to click on a link when there is a very simple embed function on this forum....

Many of the experts had him in top ten last year and this year as well.

He's been rejuvenated this year, that's for sure. Calling him the next Helm, while promising, is still a ways away. Helm is a perennial Selke candidate, let's wait for Ferraro to get his defense to that point first.

You included. We are top 3 in goals scored and goals allowed in the West (while still having games in hand) and no other team in the West is even close to our goal differential. Filppula is not going to be traded. It would be unwise by the front office to trade away one of their best forwards who isn't in their prime yet. You really should look in the mirror before you criticize others for not "understanding how a front office works".

Was there a penalty on the play?

You don't trade one of your better players who is playing great and hasn't even hit his prime. I agree the Wings need to add depth, but not at the cost of your core players and future core.

I would rather be a smartass than a dumbass. Filppula is finally showing what he can do and it all boils down to him not playing center. Atta boy Valtteri!

He could go scoreless all season and I'd still pull an Eva and point out how he is better than Gretzky lol.

Wrong again.

Captain obvious strikes again! When comparing players, it's not because they look the same, it's because they have similarities in their game.

Wrong again.

Conner is much faster and battles harder night in and out. Think of a faster Cleary with less offensive skills.

This team is getting faster and faster. I watched Connor play when I went to MTech, I'm excited to see what he can do in a Winged Wheel.

I fully agree with everything you just said, especially the second part. We won and I don't see that trend being broken more often than not.

Playing cautiously and inept, and playing smart are two completely different things. If they were playing as you suggested, then they shouldn't give up odd man rushes if they are trying to prevent the other team from scoring, they should have gained the zone and dumped the puck and outman the team if they wanted to play that style. They weren't doing that. But thanks for the lesson . Go Wings. Another gane, another win anchored by our soft European team. You knuckledraggers must hate this season.

I was speaking in regards to the game.... but ok...
