Hopefully this clown will be out of here after the Olympics.

How about, we're never going to get him, so why even make a thread?

Should be a tough one considering we got raped by the Islanders.

Thanks Staurt for the memories...Ozzie's coming.

YEAH!!!!!!

darren helm saves the day!

Thanks Bertuzzi and good job Lidstrom.

Great PK. Howard keeping us in the game.

Exactly. Filppula, Zetterberg, and Datsyuk are the only players that can skate through the neutral zone with unparalleled speed into the offensive zone leading to our greatest scoring chances.

BLUES SCORE!

It didn't appear to hit Homer, its got to be Lidstrom's!

Is it just me or does it look like Ritola is ready for the NHL?

Just clear the puck.

Zetterberg is the next Captain when Lidstrom retires. Datsyuk, Franzen, and Filppula will be the assistants.

This team is coming off a game 7 lose in the Stanley Cup final. It's hard to stay motivated when half of the roster is missing too.

If we continue to play like this, we are NOT making the playoffs. Stop saying, "Oh everything's fine, they'll make it, you're not a real Wings fan". Just stop. How are we going to make the playoffs if we can't win games against teams we've dominated in the past? Better yet, how the hell can we win games if we suck on home ice?

5-3 Rangers

Howie's been playing good for the most part, as said above, he does need to work on his rebound control. Overall I expected the play I've seen so far. Howard needed a chance to show that he's ready, and he is. This guy is hot, and I'd put him between the pipes on Thursday against the Oilers and hopefully keep his good play going. Maybe Ozzie will shape up after Howard racks up some wins. Yes Osgood is playing way better then he played last regular season, but then again he still lets in those goals that you want back and the goals that ultimately break the teams momentum. Lets go Howie and Ozzie and lets go Wings!

Our problem is Brad McCrimmon, assistant coach that is in charge of our defense. This includes the pairings, positioning, and PK. This is one of the biggest mistakes Babcock has made, hiring this goon. Babcock looked at McCrimmon's resume and saw Saskatoon Blades and took him regardless of his past coaching experience. Not to mention McCrimmon has been fired from multiple teams.

I agree 100%. Complete Waste. People on these boards don't like to admit there's flaws with our team including the play of Lidstrom as of late.

What if the Wings- Didn't get 100 points Didn't win 40+ games Finished last in PK Continued to struggle defensively Lose the division DO NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS (or lose in the first round) Mike Illitch doesn't take s*** from no one.

Lidstrom's time is running out. I'd want to re-sign him in the 2.5-3mill range.

It's just Dallas, Florida, and Nashville.

3-2 win by Atlanta in OT.

Fire McCrimmon and make Chelios our new defense coach.
