"Babcock also stated Nyquist will remain with the Wings for now, not sure who he will replace tomorrow with Franzen returning." http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/tmr/comments/wings_morning_updated/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

i get the feeling CBJ wouldnt have scored those 2, particularly the one where their forward walked in from the neutral zone, if we werent winning by 7 goals. we took our foot off the pedal somewhere in the second

Just read a tweet that DeKeyser has announced that he will return to WMU next season, so dont expect any contracts of any kind towards him.

the chemistry looked great last night if you ask me. the couple no look, behind the back passes that lead to goals are the plays we want to see. means we finally have a system thats working, or everyone is finally figuring out where everyone else is without looking. i know it was CBJ, but still, plays like that can happen against any team.

well this guy is right. either kindl or E would have to be benched. before all the injuries on D, we were switching kindl and commie out and keeping the others in, and essentially after the deadline we traded commie for Q. I think Q must be playing over kindl purely for the offensive side of his game. our offense from D-men have been essential to us winning games. now E on forward, i dont think that will happen. we already have this logjam on forward, and i think E is better suited on D at this point. So bench Kindl until we need him when somebody inevitably gets injured.

I think it would be safe to write him off for the rest of the season. I would also agree that we need to give our young guys some experience though. I just get the feeling we have a serious log jam on forward right now. So many bubble guys right now (Em, Mursak, Nyq) I could just be totally wrong, but I dont think Emmerton will be around long into the future

No at the joe no doubt

id be curious to see the fight. this is a bit off topic, but it seems callahan gets his s*** rocked alot in fights. i dont follow the griffs much but thats just what i see.

On top of that, the hawks have 15 canadians and 4 americans

the responses on here are hilarious. this one is my fav: "All the american teams,cannot skate or play hockey with the Canucks , so they try to even things up by sending their goons after our star players. Nowadays it is the dirtiest , filthiest team that is 'awarded' the Stanley Cup , notice i did'nt say 'win' the cup , cause no american team is capable of 'winning' the Stanley Cup..."

pretty good interview. was hoping he'd slip up and give up some insider info on the new stadium question.

ya i agree. by no means did i mean they were a lock, and to be honest weve seen so far this year no game is a lock (NYI,MTL,CBJ). but our team is playing good enough where we should be able to get it done as long as the effort is there. I think babs said it best the other night that were not going to be able to outscore teams like we used to, but we must play better defensively to reduce the opponents goals. Most of the goals weve given up in this slump have been turnovers on our offensive blue line and in the neutral zone. Once we get the puck deep we seem to be ok working it out of the corner and getting it to the net. I think were in better shape than most think. At this point im fine going to into the playoffs as the 6 seed. Dallas, LA, PHX, and SJ are better first round matchups than NSH would be. Lets just get our guys healthy until we really need them. Reg season means nothing to me anymore.

they did note that janik could be called back for saturday if need be. typically it seems the media doesnt get a hold of "for sure" whos in until game-day. with that said, seeing that we play carolina and then 2 against CBJ, i still hope he doesnt come back until hes ready. we should be able to win those 3 with the teams weve been icing lately (conks included).

theyre saying its more likely kindl comes back this weekend, but ill take anybody at this point over janik.

do you guys remember when pierre was interviewing kronner pre-game earlier in the season and stuart just started standing directly in front of pierre to cut him out of the shot seemingly purposely? man that was hysterical.

I get the feeling that assuming he wont be back for the playoffs is a bit paranoid about us not winning in the end. Dont forget, were talking about the guy who played in the SCF with his nuts exploded inside his sack. The fact that hes taking his time to come back during the regular season is just him wanting to get as close to 100% as possible until his team truly needs him.

the narrator sounds like the dude who does the "pure michigan" spoofs, like this one.

my thoughts exactly, ill take dallas, LA, or SJ all day. niemi is horrible.

franzen had back spasms at practice, status for tomorrow unknown. joey had the same issue I believe, but is expected to not dress for saturdays game, hence the call up.

andy mcdonald took a tough hit from rutuu last night. i didnt see the game but it sounds like he didnt return. could be a tough hit for this team. Puck Daddy

last time nick was out an extended period of time (8 games) something sweet happened that year. chill the f*** out.

bert is in tonight per wings twitter about ******* time also reading that mac is in tonight. they didnt want howie playing back to back right off injury. howie plays saturday.

a little off topic here, but this grant besse kid scored 5 goals in the state champ game, 3 of which were shorthanded i believe. pretty sick if you think about it. and if you watch his presser after the game, hes rockin a nice winged wheel on his sweater. is he one of our prospects? video: edit: somebody needs to teach me how to embed youtube vids.

$5 says i blow it the next 3 weeks

for what its worth, drew and mike on WRIF radio in detroit just said that datsyuk and lidstrom are both back in tonight. looking for something to verify that right now, but cant find anything. so dont get your hopes up i guess.
