Certainly if Drapes comes back it makes the sit down situation easier for Babs, but as has been stated 1000X times; lets not get any dumb penalties. Look for the Michigan boy to tear it up for his beloved Wings. What a childhood fantasy!!!

I watched the review of the hit by Flipp. There is a good chance that he sprained his left knee. An injury that would probably have him out for 2 or 3 games in the season. If this is the issue, he'll play but not at 100%. It would be unfortunate to see him not play well

He's gotta be tired. The guy is a horse. I think that the OT game plays well for us now with his ice time/fatigue. If he really is "sick" with flu he will really fatige quick and make made decisions to try to keep up.

Good point! How does it make the rookie feel when his coach starts to put doubt in his ability and call him out in front of the media? How does it make his teammates feel?

I find it unbelievable that Wisniewski could even practice. So here is the scenario folks, your heart rate increases as does the flow of blood into lungs. There is a relative increase in pulmonary pressure and into damaged tissue increases a risk of the tissue bleeding and infarcting. The size of the contusion must be really small or he is stupid!!

Putting up favorites for the Conn Smythe is utterly stupid before the finals.

Hossa's Bonus???

I didn't notice it either however I have the NHL network and watching NHL on the Fly they showed Flip sliding on the ice on the right side of the boards, he kinda clipped his left knee. It didn't look too bad. Getzlaf winched and looked like he was in pain, but never showed any signs of injury on the bench or later during the PP. I think he just sprained his knee while he will be back in full force on Sunday.

Great point

We didn't have two key D-man, we didn't have any physical D-men at all. So no guys like Stewart to beat you along the corners and at the net. No Kronwall to deliver checks to your guys flying from the neutral zone. You now only have 3 top D men. By the looks of last night they are tiring out and slowing down (except salt and pepper) . You may not be able to match (contain) the Hoss-Franzen-Flip line. Datsuk is long overdue as well. If Hiller can't bounce back, look out. How is a rookie going to handle that kind of pressure? Furthermore, game 2 was an overtime victory, could have went either way and you were WAY outplayed in intensity for the majority of the overtime periods and game 3 should have been another overtime. That stated, momentum has shifted and to have your ass handed to you in your own barn is never a good thing. You could say that whom ever wins the next game wins the series.

Great move, even though he got his clock cleaned, he has him of the ice for 5 of 8 minutes!!!

I'm so superstitious I had Arby's for dinner!!

AMEN

Yup. Finally passes to guys that won't put the puck on the goalies logo!!!

PLEASE DON"T GIVE UP 3 more quality scoring chances WINGS!!!

******* LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope is a thing of the PAST!!!! Thats why we brought you here baby!!!

I certainly hope you are right!!! He doesn't look as dominating.

Keep the intensity but tighten up the coverage. Don 't give these guys any room!!

It's OK people, the Wings are still outplaying the Ducks. We need the next one obviously and need to continue to take the play to them!

Keep up the PUSH!!!

Thats what im talking about

Ok, Keep up the intensity. Gets get a good kill continue momentum

My Feed the Mule Shirt is GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
