Can we stop with the stupid penalty.

Toronto losing again. Yay! We gotta wake the f*** up.

I don't get how Kindle is on the Power Play and Smith isn't.

Gotta score here!

Just like always, everyone standing around watching.

Even with a depleted team, I feel pretty confident that our boys will show up. For 2 periods anyway...

I don't like the thought of BJ's in our rear view window.

Not sure, what we'll see from Callahan tonight. Or for who long, but I'm excited,

Yeah, your right.

This team has so many boring players, Andersson is just another one. He's good at what he does, but doesn't do enough.On a side note, I'd like to see a little more diversity in our drafting. We've had too much of the same type player coming threw the system. The Scouts have generally done a great job finding gems late, but would like to see the team diversify at the draft.

As much as you hate him on the wing, I hate him even more on the Power Play. What the hell is Babs doing putting him out there? The only reason I can think of is, with Bert out he needs someone slow to take his place. I mean the guy had more power play time then Franzen last game, let's hope that it doesn't continue this game.

He's also delusional, I guess all those hits to other people's heads have taken a toll.

Probably not, he just cross-checked his computer.

Creepy I'd definitely go with creepy... And yet I can't stop watching... It's ******* mesmerizing. It would be a great tool for hypnotists.

I Know. I have so many enlightening questions to ask. Like: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to see it, does it mean that you got away with an elbow?

While that was a doozy, I would have to argue that the Cleary one was worse. I mean, come on! Has anyone seen Cleary since? Does Cleary's knee injury mean that Babs has him caught in a bear trap somewhere? We as a fan base should demand answers. What has that evil doer Babcock done to our beloved Cleary?

The last fight was the lover's spat Babs and Cleary had, when Babs benched him.

Now that you mentioned Mursak, I definitely see the resemblance.

It's because Smith isn't on the Power Play... Just kidding. My reasons: 1. Babs philosophy has been a hindrance all year, we get a couple early and then drop into a defensive posture; but the problem is that the team defense this season is a mess. That's the reason why the PP has been struggling to tack on goals, the inability to turn it back on offensively after shutting the offense down and going into a defensive mode. Plus once the opposing team pushes for a goal late, we don't have the d-men to push back. 2. The team has a tendency to get flustered after giving up a goal. They score several goals, and feel good about themselves; when all of a sudden WHAM! The porous defense gives up a goal, and then you see the shoulders drop as does the concentration level causing more goals to follow. After it happens in several games, it becomes a mental obstacle that the Wings haven't been able to overcome. This issue mainly might exist because we have a young team, but that doesn't excuse the veterans who have been guilty of it too. The Wings essentially put themselves into a position where Babs should call a TO after every first goal given up just to calm his team down, so things don't continue to spiral. 3. This reason is tenuous at best, but we have to acknowledge the fact that luck has also played a part in some these collapses. Taking yesterday's game as an example: The wings hit 3 posts in the span, of what; 3 minutes? Sometimes you get lucky as was the case in the Pens game, and sometimes you get unlucky as was the case in yesterday's game. And sometimes if you get 12 shots in 63 minutes of play, and generally look s***ty, no amount of luck will save you. 4. I've been a big Howard fan for years but he has got to be more consistent. He's been unbelievable lately by making huge stops on extremely difficult plays, some of his stops yesterday were amazing, but as good as he's looked on the difficult saves his issues have always come on easy shots. Whether it be poor positioning or lack of concentration, Howard has had the tendency for years to give up soft goals. I don't think I've ever seen someone look so good on a difficult shot and look so bad on an easy shot from the corner. Promise I'm almost done. 5. Shot blocking: this has been an issue since Stuart left and an area the team has to improve on. But, hey this is IMHO so feel free to disagree.

Wrong or right, I've kinda been comparing him to Glendening; but with scoring potential.

I mostly agree with you, but I also think he didn't have enough time to get comfortable. I'm also not in love with the fact that Babs threw him in the deep end and made him kill penalties right away, even though he did a decent job on the PK.

Even Andersson got power play time tonight. Smith keeps getting passed over, go figure.

Why the f*** did everybody stop moving.

I like it, but I want the 2nd one.

What comes after 3?! What comes after 3?! I'm freaking out. Aaaaahhhhhh.
