I would love to see Smith on the PP Our wingers suck at helping on face offs

Is Tatar really on a line with miller and Emmerton? Nice stuff Gleandening

What pisses me off is you know Franzen will come back and play 3 games just to get ready for the Olympics then will enter beast mode

I wouldn't call Helm a key injury. We've been playing without him for 3 years

One of the best games I've ever seen Howard play

I bet Franzen plays 3 games to get ready for the Olympics

That may be and I love helm as well but he's been a part time hockey player for 3 years and he does this team absolutely no good besides give us hope instead of finding a replacement

Zetterberg is clearly hurt but playing because this team his hooped without him meanwhile we have helm who is content sitting out season after season

Shutout in back to back games. Helm should take his time getting back 4 weeks just isn't enough time for a tweaked groin

Wings stopped playing after the first period

Sheesh that would have been huge

Not getting anything done at all offensively this period and coughing the puck over in our own zone. Getting badly outplayed this period

Wings surviving

Awful second period very lucky to still be in this game. Jimmy playing great

Nyquist has been playing AHL hockey lately

Jurco always has his jersey tucked Wings need to push back they're not doing much here in the second

Dive

Good poise and great instincts. Definitely doesn't look like a rookie a lot of confidence

Jurco looks like the real deal. Between Tatar, Nyquist, Andersson, Sheahan and Jurco I believe we can stand with losing some of them in a trade

Jurco looks outstanding

What the hell. We are losing our spot in the playoffs and Helm is nursing a sore groin for four weeks

Weisse deserves a real chance no way he gets moved at the lowest value of his entire career. Drafting and developing is the only thing we can do until we have a serious line up that can contend. This is rebuilding period dealing away ppl we developed for some half ass version of the franchise players we want is not what we wanna do. Patience is a virtue. Just thankfully we wil hop out of this rebuilding period and realize we didn't even notice we were so terrible as we built our team from the bottom

Problem this year is a lot of teams need a top 4 defensemen. I'd rather trade for a reliable cheap defensemen than try and outbid half the league for a top 4. It's just not the right time. I would even resign Quincey for like 1.5M. Kindl needs to go and promote a GR guy

I think Holland will push for Girardi but I hear reports that NY wants way too much for a UFA. Realistically it should take Quincey for salary reasons, a pick and a mid tier prospect and that's a lot. Not having Kindl and Quincey playing and adding a guy like Girardi would make our D look much better. I don't think Howard getting traded is a possibility for at least a year or two

By the end of the game and on every PP I was wishing they wouldn't even give it to the Defense. Anaheim was pressuring the point like crazy and leaving a man open in the slot. Adjustment should have been made to stop trying point shots because I don't think one hit the net all night What happened to Tatar he got injured??
