Just need another Wings goal & one bone rattling Kronwalling of either Perry or Getzloaf for this game to be complete.

Abby!

Getzloaf & Perry starting to completely lose their s*** now. Bodes well for seeing a game 7 hopefully.

Is it really fair that Jimmy has to face shots from 2 teams tonight?

20th straight playoff series with a goal for Hank now right? Perfect timing too.

Think it's about time for another Euro-twins Power Activate moment. Dats needs to just take this game over

Might be time to refer to the Brunner-Andersson-Nyquist line as the 2nd line

Is it wrong to hope that Kenny can somehow package Smith & Quincey together in a trade to Nashville for Weber in the off season?

Hope Babs remembers how that 3rd line has looked next season. Would love to see what Brunner-Andersson-Nyquist could do given a full season together.

What the f*** was that pass from Flip?

Holy s*** Pavs!!!!

Hank slow to get up after that play. Really don't think he's anywhere close to 100% right now.

Babs' comments lead me to believe that the Wings are hiding an injury to a top 6-er & that he's keeping Bert & Sammy in to fill a top 6 role if that player goes down during the game.

Fear is the path to the Duck Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to pouting: Or douchebaggery...it leads to that too...

If Cleary's unable to go in game 6 after that hit, Tatar should get his first taste of playoff hockey in the bigs.

It's referred to as the Roberto Luongo Rule: http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/08/explaining-the-luongo-rule-in-the-new-cba/ If a player who signed a back diving contract retires before the end of it, the cap advantage (salary above the cap hit in the early years of the contract) are recovered in the remaining, post retirement years until the original contract is up. Edit: It should go without saying that since it's nicknamed the Roberto Luongo Rule that it applies to contacts signed before the new CBA, but I'll say it anyway so there's zero debate. Couple of other thoughts on some things mentioned earlier: I would be highly surprised if Kenny bought out any of the Wings' existing long term contracts i.e. Hank, Mule, or Kronner. Those mentioning that, you do realize that means they're gone right? No re-signing them after a contract buy out. On trading for Heatley. Doubt Kenny will have to give up assets if he wants him. Minny only has 17 players on contract next year & a little over $9m to build out their roster. Heatley is pretty much guaranteed to be bought out.

Yzerman's bromance with Marty Lapointe

I wouldn't call that hit a true bone-shaking, Havsplatian Kronwalling but I'll count it for Money on the Board. Hope to see a full Kronwalling next game on Selanne.

Really loving that Brunner-Andersson-Nyquist line. The future does look bright indeed.

Roster update from Khan: Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive1m Samuelsson said he playing with Emmerton and Eaves so it appears Bertuzzi and Tootoo are out

The word that comes to mind is.... s***! I don't see White being the guy to step in here. Babs clearly doesn't trust him. It will be Lashoff or Cola.

With how badly the Duck's forecheck had the Wings frazzled in the 3rd, I want no part of White being in the lineup.

Might see White, Lashoff, or both. Didn't notice it with all the other chaos going on but according to FSD, DeKeyser wasn't on the ice for the final stretch of the 3rd. Hope he's not injured.

OK, am I the only one who wants to see Lashoff in for Smith on Saturday now?

Would have been nice to finish it in the 3rd & keep my blood pressure down, but a win's a win. And great seeing one of the kids get the game winner. The future is now.
