Very classy presentation and great to see him and his family. Great guy. Great move by the Flyers and Red Wings. This may sound a little cocky and out of place, but this shows the eliteness of the DRW when compared to other franchises across the league. The Flyers do have a rich history and a great franchise, etc., but if Mark Howe's career at Philly was switched with DRW (so to say his entire Flyer career was instead a tenure as a Red Wing), I guarantee he would not have his number retired here. He has great numbers and is a class act, but the rafters at the Joe are just another class of hockey player, and perhaps devotion to the organization. I know this might be out of place but just wanted to put in my two cents. I know jersey retirement is always a hot topic on LGW. Congratulations to Mark on a great career and for all his contributions to the game. Go Wings tonight.

Let's hope the Griffs can get the W over the Fly Guys tonight. God damn injury bug. You mean keep your head up when looking out for illegal checks? My link

Let's go Wings.

Always hate losing to the Hawks. Thought the Wings fought well though. Still bad loss. Rough time for the injury bug to hit. Hope everyone gets healthy for the more important time. That being said, always some good entertainment to come on LGW and see everyone freaking out. Lot of hockey left this regular season and hopefully into the postseason. Cheers.

This seems to be a recurring theme. The first tiebreaker is regulation wins, which St. Louis has more of than Detroit.

Nick's got a shot, you don't always have to put up a lot of points to be considered, NHL.com's reasoning that the Central Division is tough as nails this year and Nick has held it down in even strength seems legit, though maybe he becomes a finalist just as a formality as this point? Also, Draper won the Selke in '03 - '04? Totally forgot about that one.
