Well f***.

Well, that's all the sucking out of the way. Let's get the 'Nucks but good on thursday. Wings team defense tonight: On the upside, Jimmy was still amazing. Good to have him back.

What the hell are we doing, how many breakaways and odd man rushes have we given up in the last 20min of hockey?

Jimmy has been keeping us in the lead since the last 5ish min of the first. We need someone else to start playing too.

Howie comes back and hasn't missed a beat. I can't believe we've managed to make our way to such a great goaltending situation after all the pissing and whining we did last year

Flip has been such a different player this year. Playing with confidence and getting his shots on target.

OOOOMG

Nice pressure. Abby has been playing real strong.

Oh dear Pav. Never give up, never surrender.

Lovely to see the Blues lose to Columbus in regulation, gives us a little bit of breathing room as long as we keep this one under control.

20!

There come the lively boards. Why am I always consistently annoyed by NBC casting crews no matter who is casting

This season would be sooooo different if we weren't so awesome in shootouts this year. Thanks Joey, Pavs and Bert!

So many goddamn shootouts. When am I supposed to sleep when every game goes long

Best player in the game!

I don't think we even need Conklin. I have nothing against the guy but gotta say I'd feel a lot safer if Joey was our backup the rest of the season.

Sweeeeeeet. Good night people!

Well I'm glad the ref cleaned his glasses for that one. They sure haven't seen a lot right tonight Miller has been real good this season. Playing with a lot more energy than last season imo.

I'm not exactly knowledgeable about this but I'd venture a guess this is because season ticket holders get first pick on tickets and they're allowed to purchase more than one. Therefore a lot of them will be hoarding as many tickets as they can with the express purpose of netting a lot by reselling for 10x value later.

Attaboy Helmer. Could hook that kid up to a dynamo and abolish nuclear power

Based on what I've seen of Morrow I'd love to have him. Might have to try and catch some Stars games to get a better look.

Malkin & Datsyuk. That could be cool.

Excuse me but could you explain what exactly is "so ridiculous" about this? Are we not allowed to dislike a team we recently met twice in the SCF, losing the last one? Or are we not allowed to put the Wings' situation ahead of that hatred when the division is so tight we could flop between 1st in the conference and 6th in the conference with just a few points difference? Personally I am one of the people who would definitely cheer for the Blues in that game if they had fifteen points less and were no real threat to the Wings in the battle for the Central. I don't see why that would be something to be ashamed of, but maybe you can enlighten me.EDIT: Explained below. Ignore rant

The Central is absolutely nuts right now. Before tonight's games the Blues, Preds and Wings are a combined 24-5-1 in their last 10 games each. And I think at least two of those losses are in games between the three teams...

Pens vs. Blues Nashville vs. Hawks
