Z with the giveaway... He needs to get it back on the pp!

Which one?

Datsyuk 1, Nashville 0

PAVEL: OUTSTANDING! and a helper for Hank!

Very Nice. Datsyuk is unarguably the King of (at least) these categories: stickhandling, escapability (McGuireism), and being dangerous 1 on 3 or 4.

No. Jiri made the mistake of punching Dion the goon in the face. Not smart, when you're Jiri's size. At first I laughed at Hudler getting what he deserved but then I remembered the Flames goon it up when they lose regardless...

We can thank Ozzie for that momentum shift... I called it! (at home). What a wrister by Pavel...

Center Ice often just shows the games, not the bonus goodies...

Mickeyism: "Oh, Zidlicky's down and he's favoring his face"--apparently he couldn't put any weight on it

Wings fans have a presence in every rink in the league...

Wings are a rollin' and only need to do one thing to win IMO, get Luongo moving side to side with passing plays--just like the Dats to Z to Homer goal across the crease last game vs the Nucks. Granted that was a surprise to everyone but Z and Homer but that's the idea... I really like the way Sammy has been playing, I hope he keeps it up! Wings win 3-2. Love the sig Puckloo! Our playoff hopes ride with him... I just hope the "hip" isn't really a groin, but better off early in the year than later. Ozzy can carry us till he's back!

Nucks always cobble together an A game for the Wings... I hope Ozzie starts! Wings win in the shootout!

Yawn. Like I said, I've yet to see a real argument as to why Hank is better. You don't support anything you say. I esp. like the physicality supposition. Wake up. These two are essentially skill players and commenting on their relative physicality is like saying your Pinto is more of a "muscle car" than your brother's Omni.

They always try to cover their tracks by padding the calls the other way at the end.

Those refs ruined the game.

What a disgrace. Niedermayer uses his stone hands to butt end and Zetterberg gets the penalty. A faceoff goon shot is hard to miss what with all eyes on it and what not...

Mighty Lucks

Holy Z!

The refs HAD to call that one or they'd get called in for review for being too obvious.

Andreas the Goatherd... flashback!

I'd like to see an actual argument as to why Zetterberg is more important to the team. Hank has had a great start but I think Pav will lead the team in scoring again. As for the Wings' brass, they certainly spoke loudly with the contract they inked Pavel to. When the time comes, Hank will get a similar deal and it's hard to compare the contracts as a measure worth given the situational differences (i.e. timing, the greenstin stunt, and Hank getting fleeced with no development factored in) It's a damn hard question to answer and I think the ones that say: "Hank hands down" are likely doing so emotionally. Anywho...

Exactly. Lilja's game is what it is... He's always going to be somewhat of a liability and that isn't going to change. As you point out, he can string a few good games together here and there and therein lies his utility. I too wanted Markov back as he 's more consistent.

Watch that backhander Ozzie

Obviously, the wings don't have a first line.

Thus the A for Pavel.
