They honor him before Bure? May as well have honored Fedor Fedorov. I can see the Sharks doing this, but not the Canucks.

How about Giguere? He always plays well at the JLA, especially in the playoffs. Seriously, though, our starting goalie is playing bad this year. I don't think getting a backup will help us, unless that guy is given a good chance to start. Something needs to happen to light a fire under Howard's ass.

Wings won't play any better than .500 with all these injuries. That's been our record the last 2 years with everyone hurt. I guess we can't expect anything more right now. However, when we're healthy, we have one of the better records in hockey during over the last 2 years. Only way we can be better than .500 is if Howard stands on his head, but he's looked like absolute dogs*** this season, so that's apparently too much to ask for. Oh and Salei and Ericsson played like crap today. Those two idiots let several Hawks players get behind them on at least 2 of the goals. The first Hawks goal was especially embarrassing. No reason both Hawks should have been uncovered and making a fancy play like that.

Maybe Kane's "A" stands for "*******"

Damn soft euros.

I wonder if this will give the NHL good publicity like it always does for the NBA and NFL?

What about Tardif?

Yeah, it is pretty sad and unfortunate that a team with no use for him is picking him up. He doesn't seem to be a part of the Isles youth movement. Maybe they did it just to spite the Wings. Is Garth Snow still running things over there?

Hate these afternoon games. Might have to miss this one.

Pretty impressive. I've sometimes wondered whether anyone will ever match Mosienko's record of 3 goals in 21 seconds. Also, at 5'5, he's about the same height as Darren Pang.

Your homerism is getting ridiculous. Bertuzzi and your boy Flip have identical point totals so far this year. Both have 29 points. Yet you say Bertuzzi has been s***ty this year. Well, what do you think that makes Flip?

Groundhog Day!

What about your boy Flip hitting the glass and boards each time he has a wide open shot from the slot?

BTW, I skate like Happy Gilmore, so I know how the OP feels.

I for one have supported Hudler all season. Me and Crymson.

Jackman wrongs the Wings just by existing.

What number will he wear here?

Tell that to Abby. He didn't fight and didn't get involved in the play either. Should have done either one of those two things. Instead, he just stood there shoving Jackass, while we're trying to score a late goal.

Didn't know he had one going, but he did have an assist tonight.

Because Abby can't fight very well. Jackass would have beaten him.

Finally. Great play by Helm, and dare I say it.........Hudler.

The boards behind the goalie must be broken from all the missed shots.

If Howard played like he should this year, we wouldn't be calling Nabokov, regardless of the injury to Ozzie. McDonald would have been the backup and Howard would have played many games as starter. You're obviously a Howard homer, so it's hard to argue with you. But he's been poor this year, and they're looking at other options. You don't bring in Nabokov just to be a backup. He'll be given a good chance to be the starter if he comes to the Wings.

Lucky save. Idiot was out of position and had a lucky break.
