Because the stream I'm watching is so far behind the game, I keep hoping to see some posts here about someone beating the snot out of Kostopoulos.

You have a lot more faith in this league than I do.

Of course that's a targeted head shot. Stuart was totally stationary. He could've knocked him on his ass if he wanted to. But why do that when you can fly by and crank him in the face.

f***. Was Stuart even in possession of the puck for that headshot?

Jeez mule. Nice suicide pass to Lidstrom in your own zone there.

Is Rafalski wearing the USA jersey under his Wings one?

I'll bet you a hundred bucks eaves is about to score.

Either the stream I'm watching is really slow, or you guys can see the future.

*shaking fist at you*

Must score situation.

shoot the ******* puck from there Mule. man...

It's great watching Lids just do little things like how he carries the puck out of the zone and looks guys off like a quarterback before he makes a tape to tape pass. So damn patient. So damn smart.

Nope. It sure didn't. Looked like he had great position, his stick blade was on the ice. Just good strength and positioning. Interference maybe?

Thank you for reminding me that he is no longer on the Wings. I think that makes him a -18 in 19 games. That's pretty damn impressive considering he plays less than 15 minutes per game.

I haven't been watching closely, but I think they have been. I swear I saw Lids out there with Salei at one point even strength. Then again with Raf. It could've just been in the middle of a line change though, not sure.

Agreed. The greatest sin on plays like that is not even getting it on net. At least make the goalie make a save.

I don't know that he's overwhelmed, but something definitely seems up with his positioning. Like he's pressing too hard and taking himself out of position or something.

The Wings have given up their obligatory three goals, so now maybe they'll actually start playing well? I may start a drinking game for every time I hear "Hudler gets knocked down."

well crap. how the hell did that happen?

wow. from just inside the blueline, through the wickets.

Kings are another team where the play by play guys is pretty good, and the color guy can be a ridiculous homer on occasion.

If you had actually watched every Wings game this season, you'd know that Redmond is pretty good about pointing out soft calls, not matter which team they're called on. Of course every local crew are homers. They're playing to the market, but the Wings are hardly the worst. I guess you've never seen a Columbus game. The Avs used to be awful too, but have gotten better. Ducks were ridiculous, but now one of them is pretty good and the color guy is a total homer. Point is, there's worse crews out there. And do I really need to point out why they wouldn't be talking about the Nucks during a Flames Wings game???

It's mainly the first one that I question his decision making. It looked like the puck was loose around the net and he sort of flopped forward, but had little chance of getting it. Word may also be out this season that shooting low often leads to juicy rebounds off the leg pads. Not really sure. But it seems like Jimmy is struggling with some rebound control again. And since I'm daring to talk about goaltenders, I'll also say that team defense is a major problem. It's not just on Jimmy. But he's not been looking right.

Looks like we're gonna need another 4 goal night to win this one. (that's not a knock on Howard, as much as the team defense in general)

Damn. Jimmy with the juicy rebounds and plenty of Wings players standing around the net not covering guys.
