Ah crap the pressure is rising Im guessing the coaching staff will be watching Howard see how he reacts see how his confidence looks before they make a call on who is in net next game. Personally I havnt seen anything spectacular from Howard and Im ready to see a change if not for the start of the next game then Ozzy should be ready to go should Howard let in a bad goal and I hope it wont take much for Babcock to hand it over.

I get your point but if Im a coach and have a 5 on 3 Im not going to be "trying" things out thats what practices are for Lidstrom double shifting Kronwall - Rafalski switching

Wonder what route they will go veteran coach and GM or New to the scene? knock knock knock, - Mr Illich Tampa bay is on the phone, - tell them to F off they cant have Nill. - Yes Sir

gotta love the kid at 2:23 with the wings T shirt on in the crowd

Thanks works great!

So for the past week and the rest of the month I have been working a shift from 4 p.m. - 2 am. I do have net access there but cant just sit infront of a computer and watch a feed,(i mean its work right) I tried to pick up the radio feed from 97.1 on my ipod touch through an internet radio broadcast app but it was dead, as were 3 other Michigan area sports stations. They recommended 2 stations in Ontario one in London the other in Chatham but they were both playing London Knights OHL games. I tried an espn radio station in Ohio it played about 2 seconds of audio then dead as well. I I tried itunes radio stations I got this commercial that said Canadians cant listen to American Radio stations over the net anymore as of Feb 2010 . when I tried to get the wings broadcast via 97.1. I also tried 97.1 s web site directly and got a pop up saying you cant listen your in Canada. I have a real problem with this I can surf american sites or japanese or Russian ore what ever other country they are from but I cant listen to live audio content that site provides, if I lived in Windsor I could tune into 97.1 just fine that would be living in Canada and listening to an American station. Something isn't right here. I finally found a video feed and just turned the screen off and let the audio play on the computer for the game. Anyone know of a Windsor, Sarnia Chatham, london sports station that has audio for wings games or a way around this for a poor old Canadian who dosnt want to miss any wings games while at work till this big rush is over that i have to work shifts for.

Im cheering for who ever can give the winners of the east the hardest time in the playoffs, I would think that would be Philly. Wear em down!

I think it would be very selfish of the organization to let him go.

good idea never thought of that.

If there ever was any behind the scenes deals in this league, this one might make sense... From a Gary Betman sell the game to the people of Phoenix stand point could you see Gary and his good old boys hoping that the NHL owned Coyotes would face the crowd drawing Red Wings for the 1st round of the playoffs? Wouldnt it be interesting if either of these teams had a "weird" call for or against them in the last game of the season that matched these 2 teams up in the standings as playoff contenders? hmmmmmmm Im not saying there is anything going on but you know what I mean? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

team seems to be getting some luck lately, ill take this last fraction of a second goal over a shootout!

Macs Hasek impression was funny right at the end

anyone else watching tsn and getting fuzz every so often for like a second? Is it the network or my line?

Send him down and he goes on waivers and you loose him, the guy plays for his team not the fear of a demotion

looks like the coyotes are gearing up to keep a playoff spot to generate fan interest, by trading away draft choices, and futurec considerations. They should have more than enough youth to support it though with all those crappy years they have had.

He sure is good at getting timely goals in the playoffs who ever would get him could end up with a nice surprise if he gets back to that.

For the europeans winning the gold medal is a huge thing sometimes means more than the stanley cup Im willing to bet in Holmstrom plays these olympics and the sweedes won it he would retire, the guy is injured every year at some point or the other for good reason though he puts up with a lot infront of the net, what a man! Anyway what Im getting at here is I think if Holmstrom comes back next year Maltby might not have a spot but if Holmstrom retires there could be a spot for Maltby, it would be kinda cool to see Maltby and Draper retire together since they are so close. They would never get their numbers retired but they would have one hell of a party for them.

Well St Louis played tonight so that helps, Im hoping for a win

Ok say McCrimmon was the problem and it was glaringly obvious to everyone coaches, management, media, fans the guy that used to run the D is now running the O so its not like you have to look far to find your fix. Geesh they could even swap jobs for 2 months and see what happens. Paul MacLean Back to defense Interesting point to be made here Id never seen an assistant coach fired mid term its usually the whole coaching staff that goes or just the head coach but before Ottawas big surge they fired their goal tending coach and look what happened there ay they also got Alfredson back but its just kind of interesting. hmmmmmmmm

wouldnt it be something if Babcock said hey Hitch come work with me in Detroit over the olympic break, be great to have a guy like him up in the press box adding some of his input.

Is he still being paid by the pens? If so then taht would make sence why he isnt coaching again. Not sure how long he had on his contract when he was fired.

This guys insurance must cost him a fortune

I think the whole team should go out in the farm fields on their days off and shoot the pucks at a barn and try and hit the damn thing!

Id like to see babcock explore some other shooter options eg see what a defenceman can do?

maybe with the loss of all their forwards Burkie would like to trade with the wings and take Lenio off our hands
