Wowwwwww What a great try by Zetterberg

We could really use Filppula right now. He won't completely turn around the entire team, but his presence is definitely missed right now.

Thank you, Howard for covering that bulls***.

Alright, I like Ericsson...but what the f*** was that entire play? Give the puck right to them and then give him a penalty shot. Awesome!

The problem with Datsyuk is they took his Dr. Rahmani commercial away. DAMN YOU DR. RAHMANI YOU HAVE CURSED PAVEL!

No, but sometimes that's the break you get. At least you can tell how hard he is working and he's not letting off.

Zetterberg continues to look great night-in and night-out.

Really surprised they didn't call that slashing on Draper.

Yeah that figures. ******* dominate the play for 5 straight minutes and they get one shot off and score.

Abdelkader is doing a great job of pulling penalties lately. Bertuzzi is doing a great job at messing up solid chances this game

s***, that was close. Keep up the pressure guys!

I think you people are confusing Leino with Lebda. Easy mistake to make.

How do you not get that in? Son of a *****.

Zetterberg on both of the top lines tonight, apparently.

Leino scratched for May. Kindl scratched.

3-1. Kindl, Leino, Bertuzzi

I think the Wings are better off without him right now. We were able to sign a couple free agents that have shown some promise here (Miller, Eaves) that we wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. Sure they aren't proven here in Detroit but they are fitting in quite well so far.

Oh, I agree completely. I get that they want to switch it up and do the unexpected. It's what makes them better at shootouts than most. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When you go up against New Jersey in a shootout, it's never an easy task Obviously since I'm not in their position, I can sit back here and make the assertion that what they did didn't seem like the best move against someone like Brodeur although I can completely see the reasoning behind it. Bertuzzi going backwards at Brodeur and lifting it over the net was deflating and I thought he had it in when he was taking the shot and it just sailed right over the crossbar Ah well.

It'll be interesting to see how the ice is with a basketball game happening in MSG just a couple hours earlier.

Zetterberg and Leino should have deked around Brodeur instead of doing what Datsyuk did because Brodeur is way too good of a goalie to let that happen twice in a shootout. With that said, After being down 2-0 there is nothing to ***** about. It was a point we shouldn't have gotten but we did. Now they need to build on it for tomorrow.

Well if you're going to play Dats and Z together, you are subjecting yourself to playing that line often. There is a huge dip in offense betweeen the 1st and 2nd lines now. Offense wasn't our problem last game. Offense scoring on the other team was our problem.

Saturday: Vancouver @ Carolina Edmonton @ Dallas St Louis @ Los Angeles Toronto @ Boston NY Rangers @ Buffalo Detroit @ New Jersey Washington @ Philadelphia Atlanta @ Florida Colorado @ Columbus Chicago @ Pittsburgh NY Islanders @ Tampa Bay Minnesota @ Nashville Ottawa @ Phoenix Calgary @ San Jose Sunday: Detroit @ NY Rangers Ottawa @ Anaheim

Bertuzzi, Cleary, Leino, Zetterberg, and Abdelkader looked pretty good from what I saw. Datsyuk is not playing like Datsyuk no matter who he is playing with.

That Nilsson goal was ******* awesome. I don't care if it was against us, it was a great play

Are all the lines getting mixed up now? Leino with Miller and Helm?
