The rules were changed and it was no longer to a good teams benefit to fight fire with fire. It was better to fight with the PP. However now the hockey world has caught up to the new rules and the refs are not calling the power plays for roughing on one guy. Making the old vaunted PP obsolete. Wings have to fight back. Smith Quincey Sheahan Bert Abby need to get it going. One fight and there's no more running Howard, let it go it will happen all night and will cost the Wings this game.

Is that Joques Lemaire rocking that stashe?

Doesn't deserve to be. Liability in the D zone. If he had just a bit more skill he'd be an extremely effective player. Would love to see him blocking shots and using his strength and toughness to get to the net, but he's too interested in throwing the big hit that puts him out of position.

As much as we want to believe that Jurco and Oulett and Marchenko are ready, they really aren't. Jurco has to put on some weight he gets pushed around too easily. Injuries are healing this team should be 100 % after the Olympic break leaving just a quarter of the season left. Stay above water, make a run late. It's been the Red Wings way the past 4 years....

Wings win 2-1 in OT... Give me Smith for the winner

Broken ribs, concussions, back spasms for a forty year old, more concussions stemming from 08, broken jaws, a lot of these are unavoidable. Sliced wrist twice... That's unbelievable!!!! Wings are extremely unlucky training has very little to do with it.

I'm actually really bothered by this loss... I mean really irritated with the puck luck of this team. Hopefully the hockey gods work both ways later in the season.

just sick to my stomach about this game unreal luck

If it wasn't for bad luck weve have no luck at all

Jimmy Howard... that is all

More Sheahan and Jurco please

Jurco needs to play decent minutes and power play tomorrow. Might not have the chance to get up for the rest of the year if he doesn't produce tomorrow night

Exactly how I feel. Sure we would all like to see the Wings at the top of the standings, but the fact is they have been playing with an injury plagued team with a so so goalie. They're getting healthier and better. I hope we see more Jurco, Tartar, Nyquist, Oulett, and Almqvisut this second half because they are the future. Guys like Bertuzzi, Samuelson, Cleary, and others are just occupying a roster spot until they're ready. Wings will make the playoffs, heck I think they'll even have home ice for the first round. Relax LGW

Wings will be in second place in the division by the time March 31 rolls around. Book it

Steven Weiss will be our trade deadline deal

******* stupid to have Samueslon a guy you were going to sit on the ice in the final minute. Disgusting coaching tonight

Babcock that is your fault. why is dekesyer out there for the pp

so close Abs

Typical Red Wing game.

It's the same story with Smith and Kindl... I mean Smith had clearly been the number 2 d man this year and I know we all love what Dekeyser could be but Smith is further along and Bab's just refuses to play him

Wrong on Andersson. Outstanding penalty kill consistent pressure, not his fault who his wingers are.

Normally it's in BAB's I TRUST, but what's going on with Tartar and Smith? Smith has been outstanding since coming back. Tartar is a lighting rod right now too and it's like he's refusing to play them. Frustrating when Quincey and Kindl have more minutes than Smith when he's earned more over the past 10 games

Why is Gus playing twice as much as Tots?

Tough one tonight. Z will have to bring it. More Sheahan Tartar and Smith please!!!!
