Why?

All I can say is, IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME! WTG Nick! Let's get it going, Wings!!

Eh, F*** them!

In a no-cap era. If it were a cap world, it would have been MUCH different.

Osgood will get a start this week. 3 games in 4 nights this weekend. He will start one of the weekend games. Unfortunately the pressure of finally getting back in adds another dimension to his start. Hope he does well.

I've dogged Minnesota relentlessly for their boring style of play, hideous uniforms, etc. but this was one exciting game to watch! They changed their style and are much more up-tempo than they have been in a while. And Backstrom played a great game. I'd love to have a Clutterbuck on our team. Not a Boogard.

Titanium2 has it right. Way to go!

No. If he could remove some of the douchebag part of his personality, then he might be in the discussion. But best EVER? No. He stands out now because there are so few of those type of players in the league right now.

Off TOpic - that Tooth Fairy movie looks HORRIBLE. The Rock must be laughing all the way to the bank that they keep putting him in those horrible movies.

Now THAT is what we need out of Pavel Datsyuk! SHOOT AND SCORE!

Theyre just bent because I think we are now 13-1 or something ridiculous against them. If we were handed two points, it was by their goaltender. Thanks Mr. Quick. See ya!

I DO watch a lot of other teams. Funny you don't mention Gaborik, Sedin, Thornton, Heatley, hell, even Patrick Kane has looked better than the Red Wing boys on most nights. They are always a threat to score. And no, not every star dominates every game. But they sure as hell are a bigger threat. I can tell you have a man-love for Dats, and that's OK, my point is to be considered in the Top 5 in the league, he needs to play like that more often. Not "last year". This is THIS year. And especially when the rest of the team is falling down around him, the true greats still get it done. I love Dats as much as the next Wing fan, but I want to see more.

DOH!!! I thought since they were PLAYING LA, it would have been BEFORE the Game against LA, silly me! Instead they are going to practice for the San Jose game in LA! That makes a lot more sense!

Have faith, peeps. A run is on the way.

Don't like seeing guys get hurt as a rule, but I don't mind seeing bad things happen to bad people. And I'll leave it at that. Oh, and he's a little *****.

Well? Where's the practice report? My LA "connection" hasn't hooked me up either!

I'll see your Yan Golubovsky jersey and raise you my Sergei Bautin jersey.

He was Kozlov / Stevens rag dolled...went down and hit the ice with his head. That's what made it so ugly. I'm sure video will be available shortly.

Nice. There's a lot of anger in this thread!

It would be nice to know! Not saying it was me, but not saying it wasn't, either.

The amount of money certain D-men are making...you know any team would have signed them for that money at the time.

I've said this many times. Watch a lot of other teams and their star players and you will see that ours are not dominating games like others are.

The saying "Ride (her) till she bucks you" is in my mind. Hot hand, Howard. (thats not a bad nickname!)

When a friend gets injured...(MUTE) Nice ending to an ugly game. I'll take it.

DARREN HELM TAKES THE PUCK TO THE NET AND SCORES! Love the hustle.
