The Mule

According to the NHL.com, we are the home team today.

Thanks for the touch-up on the title, mods.

5-2 Wings Goals: Lids, Kronner, Mule, Hank, and Big Rig. GO WINGS GO!!

McKenzie's got it right.

Flip is a very valuable player, and he will demonstrate just that this season.

GO LEAFS GO!!

NHL.com will be streaming the game, which begins at 1:00 PM ET. Discuss the game here.

WILLY!! ZETTS!! FLIP!!

Gustavsson has all the tools to become a top-tier goaltender in this league.

Hahahahahahahaha.

Lang is awful.

It's hard to have a legitimate rivalry with a team you only play once a season.

The Islanders are finally starting to make wise decisions.

Good riddance.

CLEARY!!

Very pleased with that roster.

How in any way, shape, or form am I emo?

I'm Canadian, and I grew up playing and participating in some of the dirtiest, ugliest hockey you could ever imagine, but I'd call myself a liar if I didn't point out that you whiny sons of ******* are some of the most annoying f***s I have ever had to read drivel from in my entire life. This is our team, take it or leave it. If they're not what you're looking for, then get the f*** out.

Why is everyone so up in arms about our defense when Lidstrom, Kronwall, and Stuart aren't even playing?

I can't seem to find the lineups for tonight's game.

Leino did a nice job of keeping the puck in the offensize zone at the line, which he followed up with the smart play of dumping the puck to the open left wing, at which point Stuart snuck in and managed to get a slapper in under Toskala's arm. It was a fairly weak goal for Vesa to give up, but it was a very smart and safe play by the Wings. Kronwall notched the other assist.

STUUUU!!! Weak goal for Toskala to give up, but a nice shot by Stu, and props to Ville for throwing the puck to the open wing.

What's this about Forsberg joining the Caps? Is that just speculation on your part, or does that idea have any legs?
