the rink officials fried it for dinner, I suspect

can't keep a lead.... ever, it seems

Mraz channeling his inner-Dom, there...

refs trying very hard to give Nashville this game. Bogus calls...

Potentially the best Christmas present... ever? Thank you to my dear friend (55Fan) for this. OK, so... Melvin? You need to get me a goal, or three tonight. Pulkkinen, for those who do not know know who I am referring to... EDIT: Drat, Pookie isn't playing.. but if he was, I would expect a goal... or three.

No Larkin? Zetterberg better step up. Just kidding. I would love a Mrazzle Dazzle win, here... but considering the Wings had to travel today, no practice, hitting the ice cold after several days off -- in a hostile redneck barn. I dunno. I will be very happy with a point. Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!! LGW!!

Goalies always get the blame and the hatred. It's easier to blame the goalie than to look at the finer points of the game, and realize the D also has responsibility for some goals. Sometimes it really is the goalie, and they feel terrible about it, since it's their job. I admire goaltenders' ability to put bad goals behind them (no pun intended!) and move on to the next play. It's that, or go crazy - not that most goalies are not crazy at some level. They are, or they wouldn't want the job! Howard is a very good goalie, Mrazek might end up being a great one, who knows? I think we're fortunate to have both of them. Merry Christmas, LGW!!

just an observation: Devils are not very good. Wings should be destroying them...

Poor Jimmy... he was channeling his inner 2002-Patrick Wahhhh tonight. Ghosts of playoffs past? We will be fine, we got 'em where we want them now. Go, Wings!!!

do it again, Wings...

and the goalie oven mitt... I need that, too. I live too far away to get to games very often.

I can't even express how much I want one of these... the shirt. What did you think I meant? You locals who get to go to games get all the good stuff.

huge under-rated save there by Mraz...

I first read that "Cleary"

everybody gets well on the Wings, it seems. Christmas spirit or something?

Another PP. Calgary's PK is 30th in the league. Seriously, Wings... take a shot.

PP, please get a shot on goal, OK?

Zetterberg is in - thank God, he was one the best players (if not the best) on the ice last game. E still game time decision, Mraz is in goal. Yippee!!

BELIEVE!! I believe, Wings, you've got this - no problem! Send Huddie and the rest of the Calgary elves packing tonight, give 'em a spanking they'll remember. I have NO doubt this is what will happen tonight. LGRW!!!

Did Oates tell them that when they have a power play, they are not the ones who are short-handed? Something, anything? Poor Jimmy.

Just terrible out there. Miller is bored. And I do believe Helm is drunk.

Jimmy deserves better...he did it all for them in the first. Let's see if they come back out and play for him.

Using Smitty as a sled, there....

I voted for you, five stars, ND. Thanks for the GDT! You have been very very (Ozzie) good this year, so the Wings will wrap you up a W tonight. LGRW!!

The Sabres were nothing special tonight. Unfortunately, neither were the Wings. Deserved this loss, perhaps they will play 60 minutes next game...
