Hope Conks does well tonight. He should be hungry for a good performance after the previous starts he has had this season.

The Wings' MRI machine will probably need replaced sooner than expected.

If we're not going to win home ice, I would almost rather see the Wings finish 6th in the West. I think Detroit would have a better chance in a road series against Dallas/Phoenix/San Jose/ LA than Nashville. The main downside to that would be the travel.

I'm sure Toronto and Montreal are probably the best represented, but Calgary did a pretty good job when I saw them play the Wings at the JLA about 3 years ago.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that he will be. That's nearly a month since surgery. Enjoy the game regardless!

Even more excited about Smith now after that fight.

Yeah, upper body injury

Exactly

Bright side: Detroit has 3 more games against Columbus this season.

Franzen's facial expressions just look uninterested. I'm not in favor of trading him, and I believe he will be more productive in the playoffs. That being said, if he continues his disappearing act for the rest of the season/playoffs, maybe Kenny moves him in the offseason. I believe that he would have a hard time trying to find a team willing to take on Franzen's "monster contract" if he is in a downward spiral. I think a fair trade package would be Franzen and a 1st round pick (I know we don't have ours anymore) or a prospect to Ottawa for Spezza. That's what I think fair compensation for Franzen would be. I doubt Ottawa would part with Spezza though.

Commie, so Abbs doesn't have to throw the dukes as often.

Is it just me or does Hudler typically score in losses? I know he scored the 2 goals in the 7-2 Montreal game. Good third period effort anyhow. Most important game is the next one.

The last 3 games have really shown the value of Pav. Glad he's on our team.

I'd like to see Hudler swapped with Miller in the starting lines. Drew has really been playing with good energy the last couple of games. Also, does anyone know what defensive pair that Quincey was previously on with the Avs? Just curious. Let's Go Red Wings!

Thanks for the games. It's nice to be able to catch a Wings game every now and then while being out-of-state and not having FSD anymore.

I just don't see the Wings making any more moves with the market the way it is. Parity has kept all but 3 or 4 teams on the "buyers" side of the market. The asking price for a forward will probably be inflated beyond what Kenny will want to part with.
