Even better, they called one of those in front of the net interferences right after.

Boo. I hope this doesn't mean Weiss is going to be buried in the fourth again.

Who would've thought Hudler would have as many points as he did at this point in the season? Not to mention standing next to that 150 pound kid he looks gigantic.

Haha. Abby banging it off the post on a wide open net. Nice to see him finish it though he's been pretty damn good lately.

I'm not saying Smith is great or anything, but if his development between last year and this one is any indication then I at least like where he's headed. And really? I don't watch every Wings game looking for Kindl to be horrible. He's just been bad. I used to shrug it off thinking it was a confidence thing but honestly it's just starting to look like he's incapable of reading a play. Not to mention if you're already disappointed in Smith's development how are you giving a pass on Kindl? With all the PP time he gets his 2 goals 7 assists don't seem to indicate some kind of offensive dynamo.

The problem with Kindl is he is never on his game and his awkward passes are a gigantic liability. I think Smith has been pretty good this year. He still occasionally does something dumb but it's a vast improvement over last year.

It looks like Calgary coming out fast and tenacious woke up the Wings legs. They look much faster and seem to be battling harder than they did against the Oilers. The Datsyuk, Tatar, Helm line looks good again, don't know why it took this long to put them back together. I've been particularly impressed with Helm. I criticize his ability to be a top 6 player but he looks great out there tonight (albeit against Calgary).

That bit about clamping the elbow over a stick to draw a hooking penalty is something I've noticed Zetterberg do quite a bit and it's something that always bothered me. Or just casually grabbing the defenders stick.

Their backup is in net? So what you're telling me is they're going to shut us out?

I remember thinking at the time that was a pretty awesome dive.

If he goes on IR (which I doubt) I wouldn't mind seeing Pulkinnen get a shot. Though I think Cleary comes in.

Awesome for Glendenning.

Nifty touch pass by Abdelkader.

Ohhhh Abdelkadabra. Edit: Datsyuk's goal?

He's a mediocre goalie, what did you expect?

Wow. They're trying to give is this game. So short handed goal?

When are the Wings going to learn they can't win games 2-1?

Ugh. I don't like our shootout chances.

Was just thinking I haven't seen Jurco in a while. He doesn't look worse than Franzen out there so that kinda annoys me.

I'm surprised the arena is so quiet with all those red jerseys in the crowd.

Oh God the Oilers haven't won once since trailing after two yet this year.

When did Ken *Daniels become a 10 year old girl?

Tatar looked great with Datsyuk earlier in the year.

Oh lord Helm's finishing ability is comical.

It was DK multiple times too. And wow Tatar can't buy one.
