Damn dat girl.

Kids will have meltdowns.

Howard injured?

People need to realize Babcock is a totally non-sensical coach, only valuable for his charisma in the office. He has done stupidest s*** the past 3-4 years and it's amazing the newspapers, etc. don't notice.

Lets have a Detroit Red Wings hat-trick! 1 goal caused by goalie clowning around, give up 3+ goals, and get atleast 1 injured Red Wing.

I want to kill Babcock.

Enough with thef****** obvious "do nothing but pass to Kronwall" strategy that we saw on the last 5-on-3 (which was probably the worst 5-on-3 I've ever seen in my life). They need to move the puck more and challenge the defensemen. The fact that this team cannot score on any 5-on-3's suggests to me that the offensive coordinator is telling the players the wrong thing. The talent was out on the ice, but the strategy ("Pass to Kronner everytime!") was retarded. Jesus do something creative.

Time for the PP to be our enforcer. You know, the one that scores every 20th opportunity.

I meant to say this last week.. Why the f*** is Cleary on the PK? He over-pinched and gave a ton of ice ... leading to the screened shot and the goal.

Exactly what I'm thinking.

This post is a bit ancillary to the game, but I'm gonna say this: "I like our team." I find the young guys incredibly impressive. Sheahan, Glendening and Jurco appear to be hard-working playmakers with great skill and a touch of grit. I'd like to see all three of them on the lineup in the future. To my eyes, Tatar will be the future leader of the team. His season reminds me of Datsyuk's first in which the talent is obvious and all that remains is time to pass for the star to bloom. He is a naturally-gifted offensive weapon. Nyquist had been struggling until tonight, but I do believe he'll become a huge playmaker and support unit for the team. He reminds me of Stevie Y later in his career -- not going to score a ton of goals yet a noticable cornerstone of the team. Give Nyquist some more time to settle in and he will put up a bunch of assists and points. I think Smith and Kindl have been great this year, and compared to the kids look like true veterans. It's crazy. When Ericsson comes back, the defensive core is set for the next half-decade. All these bright spots are shining even while 8 of our top guys are injured. This will be a good team. The Red Wings have a future!

Stupid penalty.... ohh nevermind... obvious penalty lol

That's pretty awesome.

Helm looks great. Howard doing his typical clowning. The team looks like they are playing great to me

To answer the OP -- yes, yes I would.

Howard is a clown again.

God what a beautiful goal by Tatar.

Howard is just never clutch anymore. I actually think this game was a positive for the team, minus Howard for whom the game was a revealing disaster. The Wings scored 4 goals on the road and only 1 given up was due to bad defense. The rest was Howard looking like a clown. If Detroit can keep up the scoring, the team will do fine with Monster in the net, or Jimmy if he can gain the confidence to hold a lead. I've been a supporter of Howard his entire career until about 3 weeks ago when I recognized, along with most people on the boards, that he just isn't showing what it takes to "win" games.

This is like a Christmas present from the Detroit Red Wings to me.

"Colorado Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov has been charged with one count of third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, the Denver district attorney's office announced Friday." http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=692733&navid=nhl:topheads

Yeah, after he said Abby doesn't play physical, I knew it was time to stop reading the post. It's like sometimes people are watching entirely different games or something.

I really appreciate Alfredsson. My favorite wing this season by far

Kyle Quincey. HAHA.

When in Alfie and Weiss due to return?

Cleary could be the face of a new line of snow pants.
