Finish checks boys and the rest will come! Lead the way Abby! esteef

Damn you! esteef

I could care less if it's Hudler or Modano, but my guess is it'll be Huddles. esteef

Not having available d-men to able to bench someone doesn't help either. esteef

I'm with you on the rest of it, but wouldn't Kindl barely playing after the stupid elbowing penalty and giving up the breakaway count as "empirical evidence"? esteef

Tell that to Bryzgalov. esteef

They were. So far Janik > Salei and Kindl. AHL THAT *******!! Bring on Ericsson! esteef

Indeed, but he's got offensive upside so all is forgiven, much like kronwall. esteef

Explain. esteef

Janik even plus minus and 2 SOG with 14:45 ice time. Kindl -1 and 0 SOG with 7:28, and Salei -1 and 0 SOG with 19:12. Just sayin'

More Janik hate, I just don't get it. esteef

Exactly. They're not "necessary" as much as hot dogs aren't "necessary". But people like them. esteef

Janik still looks good! esteef

esteef

I disagree entirely and think of anyone Salei has looked questionable in his own zone with turnovers and passes going to no one. As a career bottom pairing d-man, and a stay-at-home one at that, I think Janik has moved the puck well out of the zone either to his partner or up to a forward, hell he's even joined the rush a few times and had some scoring chances. Keep in mind, being an AHLer in the Wings org, especially for d-men, isn't a realistic gauge of their NHL ability considering the players Detroit can normally ice. esteef

Hudler with a Gordie! esteef

What a surprise, an ugly broad bitching about hot cheerleaders. Jealous much? esteef

?? What has Janik done to cause puking? I think he's looked fine and coach agrees. esteef

Seems like Wings games have been few and far between this year. Let's Go!!! esteef

If anyone is benched from the 3rd line it will be Hudler first and Cleary never. Mike will get the hint from Huddles sitting. esteef

Avery's play is often overlooked because of his douchiness. I always thought he was good even when he was in LA. esteef

esteef

I'd bench Hudler first. esteef

How many of Zetterberg's points are a direct result of Datsyuk's awesome passing and play-making ability? Dats is the better player, but like most have said by a very slim margin. esteef

Booools***. Shoulder to shoulder. Plus Brown's stick is clearly in Antii's view before the hit so I would even argue "blind" side hit. He knew it was coming. This crap is getting ridiculous. esteef
