My $.02: I think what we are all missing is that since Babs has come to Detroit never has he had a goalie that has won so many games for the team (not the team winning them for the goalie). While the 07-08 season had some killer netminding, the defense was stronger, and the offense was on a different level. This year the Wings have won games purely due to Howie stepping it up. I was the BIGGEST Howard basher on this site, but, his play has won me over. He has been money most games, whereas in 07-08 there were some games where I was pretty sure Ozzy/Hasek were playing solitaire for most of the game. So I don't think it was a veiled shot at Ozzy, I really do believe this year goaltending has been the best we've had in years.

Any more rounds and they would have had to ask Mickey to suit up for a shot.

Dont worry we have the filet o fish mojo working for us, which is the strongest of all mojos

SHUT OUT For Pikka :clap: :clap:

Time for some Fillet o fish mojo for this PP

Midget vs bert, it seems the midget won this round

Hm, Toronto will be angry when they hear this.

I miss your GDT, the new guy's are nice, but yours are in a league of their own/

We need to lock him up, hes a great role player. He has been one of the pleasant surprises this season.

4 straight wins, first time this season, the wings are getting hot at the right time, great day to be a wings fan. Now lets back it up with #5 tomorrow!

Powerplay, lets put it on ice

MULE!!!!!!!!!!

There are a few assumptions here. First, Flip has been money since he came back, but, hes kinda streaky as a player, so I can't buy the argument 'if he played x number of games he'd have x number of points' you CAN'T know that. While I think Eva low balled it, I think hes essentially right, Flip isn't as offensively talented as other players on the Wings, in fact I would argue that hes the 6th most talented on this current team, and 7th if you count Hudler. He has a lot of talent, hes a great rounded centermen, hes got great defensive awareness and hes an above average puck handler, but lets not go crazy, Dats is a rare talent, Flip is a second tier talent (on the level of a Jordan Staal type player). I am not trying to knock him, its just that people here have an unrealistic expectations for certain players, and we are all guilty of it (I thought Leino was good for 40+ points). So just keep in mind, Flip is what he is, he does a great job with it, don't try to make him anything more.

Awesome start of the period, good to see Z still playing like Z.

Its going to be Meech.

Big game between two of the teams in positions above the Wings. Who do you want to win?

Ya youre right, the refs are always trying to job the Pens, kinda like they aren't biased when an American team plays a Canadian team... or like when the league follows all its rules even when it would mean a star player has to be suspended in the SCF. Poor Pens.

Really does his shirt say LGW?

Come on Curly Fries!

Yea, its not like we have Lidstrom or anyone like him...

According to the CBA if Detroit beats them in regulation, Crosby has to goto Bettman's house for extra special hockey lessons.

Weak...

Haha, I just didnt want to be the only one enjoying some crow. Throw Ericsson on that post and we will call it a deal.

Great save by Howie!!!
