Helm denied.

Sheahan with a crap attempt. Bad ice? Same area where AA lost it. Mrazek stops Berglund.

Mrazek stops Fabbri.

Tatar denied by Allen.

Mrazek stops Yakupov, he hasn't had to leave his feet yet.

Athanasiou loses the puck, Ken Daniels says AA gets an F for that one.

Perron denied by Mrazek. Petr is looking good.

Shattenkirk denied by Mrazek. Larkin denied, FSD had the winning graphic go up anyway...hope it didn't jinx them.

Nyquist snipes it. Nice slow down and a deadly wrister.

Tarasenko denied stick side.

Gotta give Steen credit for a nice shot there. Neilsen stopped there.

Not nearly enough priority for the shot on that brief PP. . Set up Green for the onetimer. if it goes to shootout, will the Danish Backhand of Justice make it's debut?

Should have been a penalty shot there.

Goose wants that back. Did Neilsen block that Blues rush with a backwards kick of his skate?

Rough shift for Helm there. Mrazek standing tall.

Giving a loser point to the other conference doesn't hurt. Win this in OT. How sweet would it be if Ott got the winner (though he probably shouldn't be out much for the overtime)?

Just got in from rehearsal, I saw Neilsen tied it up. What's the short recap? Wow, 16 blocked shOtts for the wings? Is it due to mass giveaways or better attempts at getting into the shooting lanes? I hope that errant lead pass causing an icing doesn't come back to haunt them.

On rehearsal break, Let's Go Wings! No Vanek? Don't panic, cut the goose loose!

Just enjoy Howard playing well. I wonder just how much of an impact having a new goalie coach, coupled with the clarity of the situation of Jimmy being the backup maybe giving him a chip on his shoulder is factoring into his play. Maybe he had gone as far as he could with Bedard as his goalie coach. (Sort of like a talented student musician moving on from their high school director to a college professor for lessons). As has been said, worst case we have two great goalies if he keeps it up.

Happy Birthday, Mabus! I will end up watching Rangers and Sabres games since they are local to me. (I also have Center Ice). I am also curious to see how Vesey pans out. My best friend has two daughters living in Pittsburgh now, so I unfortunately will end up watching a couple Pens games with him (though I found a pro weight Zetterberg throwback jersey at a Plato's closet for 20 bucks so I picked it up for him trying to convert him). Florida is going to be an intriguing team to watch with some of their young talent, I agree. Sometimes if I have the spare time I might scout the next opponent on the Wings' schedule. Part of me also wants to see Subban do well just to keep the Habs fans upset, though Weber seems to be doing his part to ease the sting of that trade.

That would be a bit cruel, don't you think? The guy does have "Bill"s to pay....

Missed this due to a rehearsal, thanks for the game details. Glad to see Larkin popped a couple. Sorry I wasn't around to post the Fonz pic for the AA goal.

Howard having an average season thus far.

Keep the historical tidbits coming, I always enjoy reading them.

Howard with a decidedly average shutout. Cue the Van Halen.
