Guys we've been all over them the whole game chill

Since it seems to be a theme in these things, 5-3 Wings. Glendening get his first, and second. Also 2 assists. Monster pots the first three goals of his career and everyone celebrates with back to back days of free curly fries.

Nah. Howie needs the rest and we always seem to step up offensively when he's in instead of Jimmy. Plus I'd rather have Monster in against Tampa than Buffalo or Carolina since those are definitely all must wins. Monsters style scares me to death but he's been effective this year. Hopefully we can bring home another W tomorrow.

Legwand has been good this game. Anytime you'd like to take your blinders off to that trade would be okay.

Am I the only one that doesn't think we're actually playing that terribly?

Good thing Jimmy never makes a big save...

Honestly, with how much better we've been in the second than the first lately, down by one is still a very comebackable deficit. Come out hard and we got this boys. We just need to remember that the leafs suck.

Great moments are born from great opportunity. That's what we got here tonight. Thats what PitandPhillygaveus here tonight.

The problem with Franzen is when he's on, he's one of the best in the world. And when he's off he's, well, you guys know.

I have been. He hasn't started shooting the pick yet when the net comes off.

As a former ref myself, I also would have allowed the goal on the ice. Bang bang play like that I would have looked at the same thing you said and it would be all about Smith's actions. My problem is that they took it to Toronto, where they have video replay and are supposed to uphold the rules down to the very last letter (then making the only factor that could disallow it be the shot process), and got it wrong. I don't blame the official, I blame Toronto because they, in my opinion, did not uphold the rule as it is written.

In order to award a goal in this situation, the goal post must have been displaced by the actions of a defending player, the puck must have been shot (or the player must be in the act of shooting) at the goal prior to the goal post being displaced, and it must be determined that the puck would have entered the net between the normal position of the goal posts. I'm not arguing that Smith's actions caused the net to come off, they did. What I'm arguing is that by the time the net was starting to come off the shot process had not yet been started. According to the wording of the role, that is a necessary requirement for rewarding a goal in this case. That is how the play appears to me. Maybe Toronto had a slower view and the process had been started but it appears to me that he has just finished reading back for the puck when the net lifts up. In which case, no goal and they got it wrong.

Watch the replay again. The net comes up off the mooring before he starts the shot. He has the stick back for the puck when it first comes off but it hasn't started moving forward yet. No goal.

http://kuklaskorner.com/tmr/comments/red-wings-didnt-blame-atkinson-goal-for-loss-to-columbus-but-jimmy-howard-d?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter The specific rule is posted here with a replay. Even with this rule it was a bs call in my opinion.

C'mon Rich. There's more to a player than the stat line and you know it. Especilly here in Detroit. If Neal was a guy who put up those numbers with an attitude and game like Z or Pav or Nyquist (aka classy) there's not a person anywhere that wouldn't love to have him. But he's a diver and throws cheapshots. That's the part of the player no one here wants, and rightfully so. Anyways this whole thing on twitter was hockey comedy gold. People are clever. I love it.

Package Tatar, Smith and Franzen for Ryan McDonagh. Throw in a pick or another D prospect if you need to. Might be an overpaymet but I feel like with what we have and the emergence of Nyquist it's not that much of one. I know it'll never happen but I can dream right?

This is the greatest thing I've seen all day.

1 is my favorite reason. Also the last time we had a 30 goal scorer was 08-09 season. Which is weird since we had 4 that year. Even if he doesn't this year I get excited thinking about what this kid could do playing with Z for an entire year.

Actually you're right, I thought we had played more games since Jan 20th. 16 goals in 21 games so prorated to 12 games is 9 goals. Cool stuff.

2-2 now. A Mtl regulation win would be huge for us.

2-0 Mtl yeah baby yeah.

Only two people (Tatar and Ferraro) had less ice time than Gus today and he still buries one. Hopefully he can bury a few tomorrow. If he keeps scoring at this pace for the rest of the year, he could actually hit 30. 5 goals in his last 4 and would need 9 in his next 12. Still unlikely but **** would that be awesome.

Mule-Legwand-Alfie Tats-Tinky-Gus Miller-Glendening-Bert Ferraro-Helm-Emdog Kronner-Smith DK-Q Kindl-Lash

This is where guys gotta step up. It's not going to be easy but the whole team needs to will another W to the record. Hopefully Kronner is okay, I fear a seperated shoulder.

52.9% could be more or less depending on outcome of kings caps game. Essentially nothing but our game went our way tonight.
