    Spezza kneed him in the head pretty hard, refs didn't stop play.

    I'd guess McCollum, hopefully it doesn't come to that.

    Concussion protocol, hopefully Mrazek doesn't pull anything coming in cold like this. Here's hoping Howard is OK, he has played well so far this season.

    Spezza kneed Howard in the head. Accidental or not, he needs to be made to pay, and it is inexcusable for the refs not to stop play when the Wings had possession.

    Isn't that part of why they actually play the games? If they keep pushing the way they did in the 2nd half of the second, I like our chances. Howard is better than Lehtonen, and I think Kari is due to return to his historical form. If our boys come out for the 4rd focused and energetic, things will bode well.

    Still time to convert this PP. let's Go Wings!

    Glad to see Hank is OK. I would love to see Helm and AA together, talk about a speedy duo. Hopefully they tighten up the sloppy play from Toronto. Then again, how many times have we seen the Wings play down to the level of opponents then come back strong against the tough teams? I'm thinking that happens again. AA gets his first point, Larkin pops one and adds to his league leading +/-, Tatar embarrasses the Dallas D again for a beauty of a goal, and the wins streak continues. Bill, thanks for stepping in with a GDT post. Does that make Pavel a T-34?

    Athanasiou recalled by Red Wings

    I really hope Hank isn't hurt, he has had a heck of a start to the season, and I was really looking forward to seeing him healthy all season. If he is, somebody needs to punch Smith in the yambag for being a f**ktard and giving his captain his hardest hit of the season. Interesting comment about the new GR coach possibly stunting his development and wanting to reunite him with Blashill. I haven't seen any Griffs games, but maybe one of you who has can address it? I know their record has not been good.

    I've been using the Bowflex since Labor Day pretty faithfully (2 days on, one day off for recovery). It still works well for me. I started with 80 lbs resistance per side, now I'm up to 135 lbs resistance per side (so the pull down bar or double arm exercises are 270 lbs resistance). My weight has remained static, but I've lost an inch off my waist and my chest and arms are noticeably showing more muscle mass and definition. If anyone has suggestions for shredding the abs, let me know (I do ab raises with straps on my pull-up bar). Planks come to mind, but I'm not a big fan of them. What are you looking to accomplish with your workout, Nerve Damage? You mentioned surgery, so whatever you've had would likely affect what you are able to do, maybe Dumbbells or resistance bands would work for you. Men's Health magazine is a good source for workout ideas, they should have some things on their website as well.

    Kindl! He read the play beautifully, went in, and won it. How happy is he to get the OT winner against Babs and the Leafs?

    Goose was robbed, gotta give Reimer some props for his effort.

    Deep face off. I would love to see the Wings bury one off the face off.

    Saw that coming with the broken stick. Petr deserved better. You can't expect the goalie to wear a backpack and carry the team the way they did tonight. Somebody punch John Keating in the yambag for jinxing it during intermission.

    Andersson has made some good plays on the PK tonight.

    Kadri draws another penalty. Come on guys, kill it.

    Larkin just took a high stick. They called this one. Time for a PP goal for BoS's bunghole.

    Passing getting very sloppy. Pulks just got high sticked in the head, no call. Great save by Petr!

    Bozak called for a high stick. Is it ironic that the iPad autocorrected it to Bozo? Phaneuf getting cheap on Sheahan. Good on Riley for not taking a retaliation penalty.

    Faceoff in their zone. Win it, get some sustained pressure, and Reimer will crack.

    Kindl with a bad giveaway at the blue line yields a shorthanded chance.

    Somebody needs to smack him upside the head repeatedly. He should know better. Wings PP. cue YFJB and/or Blasholio. Time to go up 2-0.

    All purpose Mike Babcock thread

    Babs was a good coach who I think lost the room to an extent at the end of his stay. I don't think he is the be all, end all of coaching, but I am appreciative of what he did in Detroit, even if I don't agree with it all (like many others on the board). Agreed about the inglorious babcocks GDT. Gordon is extremely talented. Speaking of photoshops, someone should combine the welcome to the maple leafs Mike Babcock press shot with the juck f**king pott! pic from a couple of seasons ago.

    Well, the boys have a lead after two in a road game that could easily have been a letdown game. Hopefully they come out fired up in the 4rd ready to kick them in the yambag and bring it home strong for a win.
