Mraz looks completely confused out there. Curse Jimmy's groinals, this is not good.

Not sure, since I can stuck with a NJ feed (stupid Center Ice, rarely shows both broadcasts - that's a come-on in their advertising). He was flexing his right leg, with Piet VZ, and the 'official' word is lower body injury. Sure wish he could have stayed out there.... we're now tied. well, since E scored one for NJ, I think it would only be fair if Q would self-goal one for us now

He has no choice... or no good ones, anyway. No meltdowns, no wandering... stop the puck. That's it.

this is NOT what I wanted to hear... son of a dammit

Who else would you like me to call out tonight, besides Nielsen?

I would have put the third line as second, but what do I know... and I am glad to see Jimmy in nets again. I do love a Czech goalie, but Petr needs to get his head on straight and earn the spot in due time. Jimmy has been great for us... now SCORE MORE THAN ONE GOAL, WINGS!!! For heaven's sake.... Oy. I want to see Nielsen step up the way Vanek has for us. It was a pleasure watching Vanek skunk his old team. We need Q to score us a goal tonight, too. LGRW!!!

I am glad Jimmy has rounded back into form. He has simply been outstanding, when the entire rest of the team has been terrible. We cannot win without Vanek, that's a fact.

Two points for us, thanks to Vanek and Jimmy Howard (#1 goalie and should be #1 star)

Jimmy Howard is cool as can be out there... impressive.

OK, who's gonna be the hero, here???

Jimmy. wake up, everybody!

"Smith gave it away..." Where have I heard that before?

Vanek should just go ahead and shoot. We have nothing to lose, aside from the obvious.

no way we were going to get a shut out... so no matter. Question is, do the Wings have another goal in them?

Larkin is a tough hockey kid.., he's OK. Vanek is the key to us not sinking to the bottom of the pile here

It is sad to check league-wide stats and see no Red Wings on any of the leader lists.

what's our PP ranking now? We have to be last or nearly so

Please shoot the puck?

Did anyone catch what Vanek did to get 2 extra for unsportsmanlike? I would imagine protested the hooking call (that I couldn't even see), and also, the refs know Vanek is the only one who might score a goal -- so best to make sure he's off the ice as much as they can manage.

Sabres beat Calgary handily right after we could not do the same, and leapfrogged past the Wings. If no one comes to play tonight again, let's not blame Jimmy Howard for lack of scoring and a loss. Let's (PLEASE) Go, Red Wings!!!

I refuse to call it the Pizza Palace.... LOL~~ But I think you actually know what I meant, right?

My wee 2 cents on this - I didn't like the statement that they're looking at "alterations" on the still under construction seating and architecture. Dallas American Airlines arena was built for the Mavericks, under the auspices of Mark Cuban. It is a BASKETBALL arena... not a hockey venue. The sight lines are miserable... basketball (boring) goes back and forth, back and forth. Hockey goes "around and around." You cannot see the corners - where all the good stuff happens. At Dallas, you have to learn to watch the majority of the game on the Jumbotron, since you generally cannot see the near corners if you are at center ice, lower bowl. If they turn The Gordie into a basketball venue -- get used to doing that. Hopefully, they buy a great Jumbo like the one in Dallas, 'cause you will be watching that as much as the ice, if you have good seats. All about the money. Oh, well. If you love hockey and loved the Joe and that classic flat venue that works for hockey, you won't like these 'alterations' on the seating they are proposing. It does damage the ice, IMO, to have hardwood over it every other night. It might be because it is sometime 90 degrees outside here, when hockey is going on, though. Also, you will see the Wings take second in terms of scheduling when the season overlap. That is definitely the case in Dallas.

LV Golden Nuggets? I like the logo, dislike the name (sounds like a high school team), and really don't like 31 teams. 31 Flavors is for ice cream franchises, not hockey franchises. I guess it's all about the money now with the NHL. At least they didn't put another team in Atlanta.

Buffalo is beating Calgary 3-1 going into the third. Sabres can beat them, but we couldn't. edit: Sabres won 4-2

this shouldn't be funny, but this picture made me laugh... thanks!!
