Flames are a team the Wings show up for. I'm feeling another 3-1 victory. Det: Holmstrom, Cleary, Zetterberg Cgy: Langkow

He's such a streaky player, didn't he start out hot when he was first came here as well?

It was a dirty hit no question and yes Kevin Weekes is a pretty bad commentator

Yeah I've been catching a few of the games the past couple weeks they have been looking better. Its kinda strange how the offense is pretty weak but yet the powerplay has been decent, at least from what I've seen. It basically won them the game against the Ducks. What do you think about Beauchemin and Komisarek so far? I think they've been pretty unimpressive.

Its nice to finally see a Leaf fan like this. The area I live in is half and half of Wings and Leafs fans and I gotta say the majority of the Leafs fans are pretty idiotic. All they do is talk trash about the Wings and say the most ridiculous things. They are the only reason I hate the leafs, never had much of a problem with the players but now Burke is in charge that should change soon. Hopefully the Wings for once put in a decent effort tonight against a team lower in the standings. I'm actually lowering my expectations for this one because that opening night loss last year was pretty embarrassing.

I don't think May will be fighting tonight

He is now pointless in 3 straight games but they will do whatever they can to make him look good even when he's doing jack.

Zetterberg, Draper and Datsyuk rotate wearing the A

Fleury made a much more impressive save in that game on Koivu in the 3rd period and that should be the one getting the attention but maybe because of Crosby's poor defensive coverage on that play nhl.com is choosing to ignore it. Unless they mentioned it in the videos which I'm not bothering to check because I've seen the save by Sid in the highlights and its not worth watching 5 videos about it.

Agreed. Even games Detroit is not even playing in if a shot bounces off the boards funny the announcers always bring up JLA.

I hope your kidding about the Colorado play-by-play, that guy is a huge homer. Yes Columbus is bad too. For whatever reason my NHL centre ice always picks that broadcast for the Jackets games, same with the Penguins games its always FSN Pittsburgh and they also have a brutal announcer.

Right now especially he shouldn't be fighting because Malkin is already out of the lineup and they were down by a goal in this game they need him on the ice. Also its not like that one time last year when they were getting hammered by the Panthers and were in the middle of a slump, he mighta just been trying to spark the team then, what's he doing now?

LOL @ Crosby's fight. He puts so much effort into his pathethic slashes and then as usual puts the other guys jersey over his head so he can't see. I wish he would try this on someone who has the jersey tied down.

No because they would be going through this "Stanley Cup Hangover" that every cup winner is expected to go through.

They've been lucky quite a few times this season including the shootout winning goal last night by Crosby. With Malkin and Gonchar out they should slow down soon.

I think now that he finally got a goal after all those posts he'll get on a roll. Very impressed with him so far, looking much better than he did in 07.

This 3rd jersey is very similar to the Western Conference All-Star jersey from 2004.

Not as noticeable as the ad they had up last year though.

I remember during the 02 finals Don Cherry was showing him doing it during the Wings practice.

Not happening. Ovechkin is the only one who has a chance at 70. Heatley should get at least 50 though.

Beauty hit with no fight or roughings right after, that's a rarity these days.

Oilers are up 5-0 over the Preds as well.

Price thinks so too, he got fooled on that goal. Canucks are looking much better tonight

Yeah Grabovski hit him from behind in one of the last games they played.

Wings win it 4-2. G: Franzen, Datsyuk, Leino, Rafalski Lidstrom will get two assists and then a goal on Saturday for number 1000.
