I second that, if only that sort of thing were determined by vote.

I just hope he's back for the Tampa Bay game, I will be pissed if I don't get to see him in person.

As much as it pains me to say it, I have to agree with those who give the nod to Fleury. Despite his propensity to give up goals on the first shot of the game, he also has the ability to flat out steal games when his confidence is high. My second choice would be Price, he may not have proven anything at the NHL level, but he's young and he's won at every other level he's played at.

Best use of 90 minutes while it is slow at work. Unbelievable game, set the stage for the Wings to dethrone the Avs and claim what was rightfully theirs. Thanks for uploading and posting!

I played rec-league hockey until I was 10, but never played on travel teams. I voted in favor of a player like the ones mentioned in the poll/OP, someone who is not just wasting a roster spot and brings no other skills or assets to the table. A player who can fight and is a decent 3/4 line/PK guy, or who is good at faceoffs, or can chip in 5-10 goals while playing a regular shift is something this team needs. Abdelkader may develop into that kind of role, but he does not fight enough to intimidate any opposing players, same with Ericsson. I was extremely disappointed when Konopka did not sign with us over the summer, especially considering how little he signed for, in retrospect he would have been a wiser investment than resigning Miller.

This sums up my opinion of our 5 on 3 powerplay: Also sums up Abdelkader's hands on that play

I'll be at the Tampa game, section 311. I'll be in a Black jersey, my wife in my old red Yzerman jersey. Last game we went to, the ratio was about 60:40 Wings:Lightning jerseys, and the "Lets Go Red Wings" and "Ozzie" chants were awesome. I expect a much closer game this time around, Tampa is no slouch this year. Also, a question for any Floridians who frequent the St. Pete Forum, any idea where I should hang out to possibly meet some players or possibly Stevie?

The kids are all right!

This season's injury parade has felt like Groundhog day, so how fitting that we get them back on Feb. 2nd

Helm, warp one, Engage!!

Kindl pops the cherry!!!

That was a thing of beauty, LOL @ Halak, which way did he go George?

Great shift by Mursak

Do my eyes deceive me, or did we just score the first goal of a game?

As a big fan of the movie and a distant cousin of Wyatt Earp, that is officially my new favorite goalie mask of all time.

I think most of us could chip in $16 over the course of 2 months

Loving the Lets Go Red Wings chant in the opponent's barn.

Count me in for a fiver, and I second the motion to donate in the name of LGW or letsgowings.com

I think that by "good" he meant clean, as in players that do not habitually engage in dirty illegal hits.

EDIT: nevermind, I didn't see the curly fries in the background. Can't really contribute much to the beer discussion (I'm Mormon and proud of it) but I wanted to chime in and voice my agreement that whatever their flaws, our TV announcers are among the best in the business.

This x1000, Tatar has been more visible on the ice in his 2 games than Miller has been all season.

Goalie situation will be handled the right way in the end, I don't have much doubt about that. What I am more interested in is if Eaves is available to play and Tatar still goes on the trip to Edmonton, do you sit Miller in favor of Tatar, Miller hasn't really been visible on the ice the last month, except when he forced Leino into a goalie interference penalty last night, whereas Tatar has tons of energy, has a nose for the net, and has actually been noticeable in his brief stint so far. I'd really like to see Tatar and Mursak get a few more games under their belts, especially since we have room on the roster at the moment, maybe have Tatar/Draper/Mursak play the "2 kids and a goat" line for a few games and see what happens.

Tatar Sauce Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe Filppula needs more jump-ball opportunities
