now that was a goal Howard had no chance on. wahh.... the Blue Jackets are running up the score...

Maltby looked like Shanny there for a sec in the box, yappin' away. Howard has played great, that's one blessing for the evening.

yes to all. They are both great goalies, just the level of expectation/responsibility for one is not what it is for the other. You can decide which is which.

finally. Good. No shut out for LeClaire, I really didn't want them to hand him #10, is it? And another thing... they have to stop thinking that the first 40 minutes of every game is a warmup and doesn't count.

yes. But, adversity is good for us, right?

I'm all done. No war here. Just facts.

Mac with a hat trick! That's awesome!! He's really trying to fast-track it back to the NHL, good for him. Maybe Fedorov will show up in the 4rd -- in a Wings jersey? That would be fun.

Take it easy. You think Hasek wouldn't have been beheaded for the last couple of games? He wouldn't have gotten a pass and a pat on the back from the fans, that I am certain of. And people say I am biased? Not to start a goalie war, since this is just the truth: Hasek has four wins and an OT loss in the last five, 1.80 GAA. Ozzie has three losses and and two wins, with a 2.8 GAA. So, yeah, Dom's been great. He won the Wild game for the team on his own... and the team didn't look much different then than they've looked in the last couple with Ozzie in net. If you want to kick Hasek to the curb for the Toronto game, and that's all you've got to go on... go ahead. One goal for is all I want tonight, Wings. I will settle. They'll do better on the road maybe.

I am hoping the goals against have stopped for the night. Now all I want is one or two for, so it's not a shut out again at the Joe.

Lilja almost had one back a few minutes ago. That would have been amazing, in so many ways. Sadly, LeClaire is no Cloutier... not that it's needed with what, 13 SOG?

Go, Jimmy!! Nice stop.

who ever thought that losing Kronner and Raffi would cause this much of a disaster? Besides me, I mean. Hurry back, guys. No call on tripping... boooo.... ref had his back to them. Of course he did.

seriously, does anyone think bringing in Jimmy will help (other than stop the carnage on Ozzie?) Lilja just missed the net... that would have been great if it had gone in!

NO...no. no. no.

Pickles Peca in the box, PP Wings! LGRW!!! aaannnd... there goes Sammy, highsticking. That was fun. 4 on 4

we will just agree to disagree on that. Dom's been incredible, even when the team sucked. I do agree that scoring is a huge issue, however. 2 goals per game on 40-50 SOG won't cut it out there. Or none, in this game... I will settle for them not being blanked in this game.

first goal might have been stoppable, Modin's wasn't... that was a breakdown that shouldn't have happened. Not too sure about the third goal, but the skaters can't be held responsible for everything here. It seems the whole team took a nosedive at the same time and it's unfortunate. However, as quickly as they unravelled, it won't surprise me to see them figure it out and come back steady again. Maybe not in this game, however. My Stars fan buddy just emailed me. He can't wait for Sunday. Fortunately, I was unable to afford tickets to the game. It's completely sold out. ~whew~

they are missing Kronner, big time. Nick Lidstrom is great, but he can't do this alone... They are about to interview Homer... that's always good for a smile, no matter what.

Go, Mac!! Wings were outshot, outplayed on all levels and are looking at another blanking if they don't stop screwing around. They just showed Homer on the bench, and he looks like wants to kill somebody....

that wasn't all on Maltby... hard to stop when the CBJs are shoving him into LeClaire... kill it, Wings!!

you forgot to that, Dallas.

awesome!! When can we bring him up to Detroit??

same way Homer didn't, earlier in the period? They will get a couple back at least. Not another blanking at home, at least, please, guys???

LeClaire going for #9 tonight? Let's go, Red Wings!!!

well, for God's sake. Center Ice comes back and we're down 0-3???? Just leave Ozzie out there, Babs, this isn't on him. Wow.
