It seems like Babcock told all of our 3rd/4th liners that they could play on the first if they could show him some sweet moves and score goals tonight. Everyone looks like they are on fire.

Great possession and puck movement on the PP, not the best shots though.

Eaves you are a beast. SHORTY!

He gets into the box score on every shift!

Dats/Bert/Homer line is actually looking pretty good in the opening minutes of the game.

edit, Bertuzzi you are amazing. Stupid Nashville announcers.

Good redirection, not much that can be done about that. Wings just need to keep it up.

Miller! Dats with the nice setup though.

Oh god please don't be hurt Stuart.

Time for me to hate on Bert and Holmstrom all season long if it leads to nights like tonight.

SICK shot by Bertuzzi.

Fantastic sequence from Stuart saving that goal, to the long 6 on 5 control.

Well then.

They are calling this game tightly and it is not helping the Ducks.

It seems like he is not getting many good looks, and when he does he is off target.

If it's a no goal great work by Ericsson and Meech. And it should not be a goal.

Well this is fun!

Bert showing he is already in form today.

Looks like the Ducks are trying to force Dats and Z to stay on the ice as much as possible and tire them out. Dats has looked better to me than in the last few games though, so far at least. PP coming up.

So, an entire anti-fighting article... does not cite a single fight.

Man with al the doom and gloom around here I thought we had fallen down in the standings even more. But we're still only 1 spot out of the playoffs, with plenty of time to go. And god forbid more injuries, our lineup should only get better as the year goes on. Something is going to kick in at some point, or we will face some teams going through a bad time, and the Wings will get a couple victories in a row and things will look great. Then we will struggle to score for a few games, maybe netting a couple but not enough to win. The world will be ending imminently. This will likely ping pong for the rest of the season, with LGW reading like a rollercoaster for the 09-10 season.

Glad they can see the sticks when the hit the guys in blue in the face.

I'd say Tatar is showing that he could be a very good player. You have to remember that he is only 19 and playing in the AHL, so 3 years younger than Helm or Abdelkader.

I like the fact that he seems pretty honest about most of the stuff. You don't often hear a guy say "well I was going to get suspended anyway so I just went for the phone call instead of going in person." I'm glad that he seems to be showing remorse, and that someone who participates in the league is talking about the preferential treatment for star players (hopefully it doesn't get him suspended by saying that). It's also good that he points out what he does about interviews during intermissions or immediately post-game when a player gets asked about something that happened during the game. They can't always see the dozens of slo-mo replays the viewers get to see, or hear what happened after a guy goes back into the locker room.

Liking his play, and the cage is hilarious. Really hoping he sticks around past this season. Also his league-minimum salary is quite nice!
