Trouba broke Abdelkader's stick with a slash, no call.

Long 5 on 3. Cue Cockholio. Ring up a couple.

I have a feeling if we get one, there will be a feeding frenzy. Pavel off the knob. Hit from behind on Glendening, PP upcoming.

Helm with some nice moves. If he gets some finish, look out.

Tough break for Eaves. Too bad, I always liked him. Best wishes for a swift and complete recovery.

Fortunately it looks like he just got the wind knocked out of him.

DeKeyser injured?

Not his fault that was a bad deflection.

Wow, bad redirection there. Hard break for Jimmy. Can't blame him for that one.

Those shirts are sweet. Let's Go Wings! Hopefully Jimmy comes out like a brick wall tonight and the boys rack up some runs support for him. She had the suck knob on the mixer dimed out.

Wow, I hope the Wings do better than this anthem singer. Just about every one of my students in my senior high chorus and most of my jr high students would blow her away. Tension induced vibrato coupled with an almost complete lack of intonation is NOT a good thing.

Avery - Williams - Cleary Brunnstrom - Sillinger - Brunner Grimson - Roest - Crowder McRae - Habscheid - Downey Kuznetsov- Melrose Commodore - Carkner Bykov - Pushor Essensa Riendeau Coach: Harkness That roster could still beat the Maple Leafs.

Those wars were epic, and left quite the Legace behind for us all to remember. I wonder how many people forget this, and also that Mrazek is on a one way contract next year. Let Monster stick around for depth, he has been a good soldier for the Wings when healthy. If he wants to go elsewhere, then honor that. In any case, I don't see him back with the organization next year at the NHL level.

It's been a while since there was some Hampus Melen updates, so it's good to see. As far as well thought-out walls of text, I enjoy reading them. I'd post more, but usually many of the points I'd make are already made and I don't like to be too redundant, especially if the first post is well made. I tend to go for the shorter run and gun posts, especially during GDT's, but if someone asks for detail since they can't get a game feed, I try to help since I'm in that situation more than I'd like. As far as the weak attempts at humor, that can't be helped. Regarding the draft picks and our prospects, I defer to those who have the time to look into them and give decent info. I don't like to blindly guess based on size and stats. Mantha was the first pre-draft prospect I was pumped for, mostly due to info provided here by knowledgeable posters. To those who provide that info, thanks again. As far as piling on players, I like to think I call them out when it is deserved, but also give props when deserved. I remember ripping Howard early on, but he became much better. KFQ is another. Jason ******* Williams, on the other hand..... For this draft, I think I'm going to keep trusting what Hakan Andersson suggests from Europe (how awesome has he been as a scout for so long?) and what Kenny picks. In terms of what we've been able to put on the ice relative to our poor drafting position, the Wings have done a great job to maintain the on-ice success.

Both combos are quite good. My daughter made soft pretzels the other night and gave me a couple with Herlocher's Dipping Mustard (I think it's a local PA brand) and they were far too tasty. TPBM has a knack for getting the hook-up at restaurants they frequent.

Trolls, they provide so much online "entertainment". Chocolate or caramel?

That's great, though it does cause flashbacks of a certain Hudler Photoshop.

Yep, that one.

Get the Wheelz on the tank!

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the confirmation. Civilized win, indeed. Very, very civilized.

Pull Smith again so we can get second empty netter (or, as I've decided to call the second empty netter in a game, lighting a mup).

Helm with the dagger! Would he have gotten the penalty shot since he was tripped? (Actually, if it's an empty net, do they just award the goal?)

Tyson Nash did on the Coyotes feed right after the penalty shot.

Dammit. FU Tyson Nash. Gotta give OEL credit for a nice shot, though.

Tatar! There we go. Sweet wrister by Tatar. He kind of Burned OEL on that - trade Kindl for him.
