dat's sick

Where is Lilja? I miss him.

Datsyuk is playing incredible. Loving it. Franzen needs to step it up a bit though and give him some more help. I swear if he uses the term "active stick" once more in this game I'll go crazy.

These are not easy shots though.. only the 1st goal was really soft, the other two would have been amazing saves. This game could end something like 7-6.

In the last 12-13 years no less.

I notice the GDT is a lot more lively now that Ozzie is back in net..maybe it's just a coincidence

Great to have Cleary back, looking great out there. Now that the team has sort of bailed Ozzie out from the first 2 goals, I really hope he pulls it together and keeps the door shut the rest of the way. Philly is not a good team and Boucher is certainly not a good goalie.

Okay we can still do this.

I agree, I didn't expect Ozzie to come in and play like a mad man. But I WAS hoping the team could play well in front of him.

Not the way to ease Ozzie into playing again. Of course an NHL goaltender should stop that shot, but Ozzie hasn't played in months so getting a couple of easy shots in the chest would have helped him get into it. I hope Oz can bounce back and play well the rest of the game.

Probably busy drinking and snorting cocaine.

I'm happy with a point. Only 2 back from the Preds with 2 games in hand. Awesome goal by Pav at the end. He was easily the best Wings player today, involved in all our goals. Not a great game for the team overall though. I agree with the people who said Howie looks a bit tired. Good thing Ozzie will be in tomorrow, hopefully he steps up and shows we can count on him in Howie doesn't work out in the playoffs.

wow these are some fluke goals.

Captain! Another great play by Pavel setting everything up.

not a good period for the Wings so far. but those were lucky goals by the Preds and there's a lot of time left.

Bert and Willy are bringing down the 2nd PP unit imo. Would rather see Cleary (when healthy) and Big E or Stuart.

Very nice goal. Briliant ass-play by Pavel, shame he didn't get a point. Weak penalty, KILL IT OFF!

Meech was strong there, he's been pretty good at forward.

0-0, 12 minutes gone. Hope it's ok to play. Detroit: Zetterberg Lidstrom Filppula Nashville: Hornqvist

Good puck possession so far. Rinne is really difficult to beat though.

If we win this one we pretty much have the 5th spot locked down.. even if we lose we still have 2 games in hand on the Preds. 3-1 Wings.

I agree with all you're post's on this matter, I hate when people make these simple mistakes. Grammar is important.

Big save by Howard, too bad Hank couldn't make it 4-1 right after, that would have killed the BJs.

Nice. 2 goal cushion. Keep playing Wings, this isn't over.
