That's why it's going to be super ******* annoying when he has the game of his life tonight. I've seen it too many times over the years.

I predict another season-high performance by a Sweedish netminder. You know that's how it's going to be. Hopefully Howard plays OK and the Wings overcome a strong game by Nilsson.

OEL or death!!!!

So basically what the NHL needs is more brain-damaged alumni.

Hey. Anyone want to play a fun game? Based on their recent play, tell me which player recently signed a 7 year/29M dollar deal and which player is still playing for a UFA contract: Is it Abdlekader, or Helm?

I think some of you are over-analyzing this a bit. Wings owned this game, Monster was hot, and Mrazek was sub-par. Which rarely happens. This team just beat LA, St.Louis, and should have won tonight. Leave the lines alone for now.

Without the extra point, looks like the Wings slide into 9th in the conference. Very frustrating game. And Ottawa can't seem to lose.

Well that sucked real bad.

I'm actually going to call Mrazek out tonight. Should of had both goals. Badly outplayed by Monster.

holy f***

Here's hoping they can close this out. Not getting that 3rd goal may bite them in the dicks.

Green's looking great Original sentiment

Wow. Regardless of what this does for Jurco's personal trajectory, you can at least say he's helping GRs turn it around.

Larkin takes a penalty very typical of a 19 year old rookie (or 26 year old Brendan Smith).

The Wings haven't dominated a team like this all year. HAVE to come away with pts.

Monster keeping the Bees in this.

Anyone got a link? My reliable go-to sites are showing Knicks basketball for some ungodly reason.

It's true. Jurco still counts against the 23 man roster even though he's in GRs. I imagine Andersson gets waived before Jurco if/when Quincey returns. Also, Marchenko is waiver exempt so he could always be sent to GRs. I was never talking about "losing" Jurco, only questioning how he's going to crack the line-up. To do that, barring injuries, he has to outplay one of Sheahan, Richards, Pulkinnen, Nyquist, or Tatar. Can't see it.

Took Pavel 2 games to get in shape. Plus he dug deeper knowing he'd have to make up for Smith's gaffs.

Returning roughly around the same time as Datsyuk will do wonders for your reputation.

Better than what? Everyone staying healthy? It was hypothetical. Anyway, you just made your point. Jurco doesn't get in until someone gets hurt. That's how I feel too, because he's not cracking that line-up otherwise. Also, these "hobgoblins" you refer to are currently 3 of this team's top 4 goal scorers (assuming you excluded Larkin). But hey, scoring goals is easy for this team. Again, considering the 3rd line right now is Tatar - Sheahan - Nyquist, I'm not sure where Jurco fits.

So these are tonight's forward lines. Abdelkader-Zetterberg-Larkin Richards-Datsyuk-Pulkkinen Tatar-Sheahan-Nyquist Miller-Glendening-Helm Assuming that Jurco doesn't skate on the 4th line when he returns next week and everyone stays healthy, where does he play? Seriously?

Sure would be nice to win this hockey game and keep pace with the Ottawa friggin Senators *barf*

Forgive me if I'm misreading your quote, but Johansen's a forward.

Cue: Holland sucks for not trading for this guy
