    Is Detroit just playing around?

    That's crazy enough to make sense. The whole season is just a giant practice for the Wings because they'er too damn good at everything else.

    12/10 GDT: Red Wings 4, Flames 3 (OT)

    Wow, Franzen and Cleary had a good night.

    12/10 GDT: Red Wings 4, Flames 3 (OT)

    Missed the game. Can someone summarize and also tell me what the defensive pairings were?

    Osgood is pissed off

    Maybe him losing his cool is what's causing this whole thing. We've all been praising his "rebirth" as a cool-headed, unshakeable force. This season, he seems to get frustrated, which affects his play. He needs to go chill out somewhere and I hope he can collect himself again. I would be annoyed, too, but it is good to remember just how amazing he was because he was level-headed.

    Sakic injured in snowblower accident

    Hope he gets better soon, Joe is one of the greats.

    12/10 GDT: Red Wings 4, Flames 3 (OT)

    I have a good feeling about tonight. I'll miss the game because of work, but I don't know...call it a feeling. Wings get back on track tonight. So it is said, so let it be written.

    2009-10 wouldn't count as this decade?

    a holmstrom encounter wuss out

    I think it would have been okay, if yuo were right next to him, to say hi or something, but asking for an autograph or trying to start a conversation would have been inappropriate. Smiling and nodding and saying something like "Mr. Holmstrom" wouldn't have been obtrusive.
  9. To be honest, I wasn't sure I wanted last years team to be seen in last years playoffs prior to the start. They looked shaky. Of course, my inner fan never doubted, but they looked far from perfect, so I'm comfortable with this Wings team going into the playoffs, though obviously improvements have to be made. I guess I just have faith that they can turn it on like a switch like they did last year during the playoffs.
  10. I hope Ovechkin really wants to play hear. Maybe Datsyuk can give him a ring?

    Four 30 Goal Scorers

    Agreed. It seems that Wings players always seem to play more balanced games, and therefore their stats suffer. But the wealth is spread around much more than on other teams. In 2002, did we have anyone at all in the top 5? I can't remember, but I don't think so. Everyone had average or below average years, yet it was a Hall of Fame team that won the Cup due to balance.

    Anyone want to help me make a Hudler fan site?

    Wow, I never noticed how intently Osgood stares into Hudler's soul when he clucks. Maybe the cluck is the reason the goaltending and defense is so distracted lately?

    If anyone missed the pens/Rangers game

    What can Crosby ***** for? When you're the Golden Boy of the league and the rest of the players are forced to listen to commentators say that every player wants to be him, you're going to get targeted.

    NHL best hits from last 2-3 weeks

    I love Crosby whining right after the clip of him getting hit. "There's no hitting in hockey! No fair!"

    Funny Blackhawks Commercials

    Man, that second was pretty good. Before I heard his name spoken I always assumed it was "Toes," too. I'd love to have one of those kids play for the Wings.

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    Wow, that was one of the more unintelligible interviews with Datsyuk I've ever seen.

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    Maybe when a team wins the Cup, everyone should be traded so they can start with a whole new team.

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    What the hell? Did the Wings' amnesia rub off? It's like everyone suddenly turned off their suck-mode at the flip of a switch.
  19. VM1138

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    After this season, all I know is we have to keep Hossa. It's imperative. Hossa is worth a Flip, Sammy, Lebda, Kopecky, 1st round pick.
  20. VM1138

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    NOW they're starting to look like last year's team. Amazing play, all because Datsyuk decided to start stealing pucks again. Let's hope he keeps itu p!

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    Awesome luck there, let's hope we get another one. Why the hell do the refs have to stop any potential fight? Let's let them go at it instead of piling into a corner and hugging.

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    Cleary has been underperforming for whatever reason since hsi injury last year. If he can't recover from it, maybe his time with us is nearing an end. But there are others I'd drop first: Lebda and Kopecky. Trade them for a competent 6th defenseman.

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    Finally someone does some defensive work.

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    We all know that on paper this is an amazing team. I meant in terms of play.

    12/6 GDT: Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 4 (SO)

    Just started watching it. And....wow....I don't know what to say. EDIT: Actually, I do. Is this the worst Wings team since '93?
