What about Halak ? Hes sure to score on himself again.

Z shut him down twice and you can argue Subban/Halak shut him down last year, whos turn is it this year ?

That matters alot come playoff time right ? Isn't that why they play the game.. for the regular season record....

I totally agree there an good team, but to say winning streaks makes a team good instantly is ridiculous. If Pens were to play a team with a shutdown player (Zetterberg / Datsyuk for example) then Crosby streak would end and probably along with their winning streak because hes doing everything for that team right now, playmaking, scoring, playing defense. Philly is the only team I see posing a problem for the Wings because of there depth, goal scorers on 3 lines and a good 4th grind line. Leino would enjoy it im sure, along with Pronger too.

Wrong, I live in Toronto and the fans are downright ignorant when it comes to the Wings. Like I said earlier, whether its jealousy or for whatever reason they don't like anyone wearing a Wings jersey / hat / coat / watch / etc. in the city. They will say stupid things even though they know Detroit just won a cup and they haven't won since 67. Going to the game last year was probably one of the worst games I attended, they won 5-2 but taunted every Wing fan that left with 1 mintue left in the game and making stupid remarks asking where they were going, what happened to the stanley cup team, detroit is too old to skate with young talent, detroits collapse starts this year etc.

right ?? where did a 15 game winning streak get Washington last year ?

tied 3rd with Ovi.

Well considering Bert and Flip don't really shoot, and now Franzen is trying to be a playmaker that 2nd line won't be scoring too many goals. Babs needs to get them shooting again.

Well, Datsyuk is now 3rd in the league in points!!

damn, if Pavs gets 1 more point hes tied for 3rd in the league with Ovi in points.

Draper already more of an impact in the first 20 minutes than Hudler has been the last 2 games.

Wings starting to play sloppy.

Not me.. the refs love the wings right ??

are you serious ? Brodeur retire now.

Waffles in 3D!!!! since its being broadcasted in 3D.

They just said Hudler is out and Draper is in. woo!!

nothing really impressive, if he deked after that intsead of doing a weak shot it would have been alot better, looked like he kinda fanned on his shot abit.

At the Joe. Last year it was at the ACC and they inducted Yzerman into the HOF. Best part about it, there was more Wings fans than Leaf fans in the crowd.

Yea, like the one pass he made right to Datsyuk in his own zone in the first period.

Toronto fans are the worst, so I don't feel sorry for them at all. All they do is chirp if they see you wearing a team other than the Leafs, you can't even have a serious conversation with them. I remember going to the bar for Game 7 in the 09 Finals and all the Leaf fans there used tape and put the name Crosby all over there leaf jerseys and constantly bickered about the Wings getting easy runs to the Cup lol. I think its like majority of the fans in the NHL, they envy Detroit for there success in the last 20 years for the most recent. Any Wing fan in Ontario can probably tell you the same thing, and you think there loyal but really hate the team and want to trade everyone on it when they start losing.

Go Wings Go!!!

Price has a good start to the season and your on his jock all of a sudden ? Where were these comments the last 4 years Detroit played them when he was in net. Price can be on his best game, but if its 1 on 1 with Datsyuk we all know who will win that battle, watch the last 2 shootouts they have gone to and see the results.

what does everyone think of the new projected lines ? Im not sure about Datsyuk and Franzen unless Franzen steps up big time, same can be said with the Zetter and Hudler line, this should be his final chance to prove hes still got it.

The lines apparently are going to be mixed up, Datsyuk and Zetter aren't playing on the same line for tomorrow it seems. http://www.freep.com/article/20101209/SPORTS05/101209040/1355/SPORTS/Babcock-on-Wings-slide-Weve-got-to-fix-it

What is that 6 or 7 shots on Howard already ? what kinda pass was that ? was obviously going to be icing.
