Carlyle has been on thin ice for a while, regardless of Babs availability. Real fall from grace for Carlyle since his winning of the Cup, bummer. It's strange timing for the firing, I wonder if they'll just mail it in or try and get someone like Bylsma. It's not even the All-Star Break and it's hockey, so I think that riding it out with assistants for the rest of the season is kind of dumb if Babs is their guy, he may not even be available to negotiate until (hopefully) late into the playoffs. I think at this point Shanny would make a play for Bylsma. Shanny knows what he's doing, he ain't clowning, shown by this action of canning Carlyle. But if Babs is really his guy...well I fail to believe he would put Bylsma in a temp roll. Maybe a tryout for the rest of the season, then choosing between him and the possibly available Babs. Just for $0.02, my Babs backups are, Blashill, Bylsma, Carlyle, in that order.

Super, super bummed. But hope he's all right. Appreciate his contributions over the years.

Let's go Wings!!

Time to bounce back boys! The phenom Justin Abdelkader is back tonight, so that is good news! LGW

Congrats Wheelchairsuperhero! Hope the Wings get it done tonight, make up for that poor showing against these clowns last time. Great to see XO back in the lineup. LGW!

Bombay did. He put Julie "The Cat" Gaffney in for Goldberg when Gunnar was shooting for Iceland.

Let's go Wings!! Beat the Leafs

Very surprised, He is a good coach. Odd to think him and Byslma both unemployed at the moment.

Let's go Wings!! Need to bounce back after Tuesday

Let's go Wings!!

Let's go Wings! Thanks for the great GDT. And come on Weiss, show us something bud!

Congrats Alfie on a great career.

I have Stevie, Sakic, and Hull - in that order. Stamkos reminds me a lot of Hull. Right handed shot, natural goal scorer. Stevie and Sakic clearly demonstrated better leadership and two way game but if the name of the game is scoring goals, Brett has to be up there.

This game was a stinker. Hopefully pumps the boys up for the road trip, especially against some opponents the Wings should definitely beat if they're on. LGW

Great looking GDT. Let's go boys!!!!!!!!!

This was great, thanks for sharing!

End the slump Dingers. Let's go boys!

YES! Cleary! Godsend for the road trip!!! Really, let's win this one boys. LGW!

Game was a bummer. Slow start in the first, can't let that happen tonight. All those giveaways and breakaways....let's not do that again, please. LGW! Jurco needs to find his form. I don't think he is playing awful, but I feel like he could do more to help the squad if he bumps it up a level.

Let's go Wings!!!

Nyquist = Goose Tatar = Tots Helm = Helmer Kronwall = Kronners Datsyuk = Dats, Pav Zetterberg = Hank, Z Kindl = Amazon (Kindle) Jurco = Jurcs "Yurks" I love the nicknames! But agree that they fly more if you are in the actual locker room. Usage probably reflects the fact that I wish I was one of the boys (also term that is used) in the locker room/have been in the past. Sorry if they annoy others but I will definitely continue to be using them!

Coming around on Abby deserving to be in the top 6, great start by him. What a snipe by the magic man. Great win!!!

Sheesh. What is the deal with this guy. Just makes me curious.

Well that stunk. Flyers got away with two like Wings got away with two against the Pens, in my opinion. Hopefully lesson learned with defense breakdowns. Moving on! LGW

Last win in Philly was Game 2 in 1997?? That's crazy. Let's change that tonight. Let's go boys!!!
