    Lines I'd roll at 100%

    If he wants to center a top two line maybe he should take a little initiative and knee-cap Hank or Pav, instead of having his own knees explode all the time. But even if he remains his own unambitious self, there's a good chance one (or, heaven forbid, both) top lines stop scoring for a couple games and Mike puts the twins together, defaulting our lovable Finnish layabout to the two hole.

    Jimmy has played well (under 3GA) in six of his eight starts since the All-Star Break, and also won six of them.

    Wings never really seemed to get going, but two points are two points. And six of six on a road trip is not something that can be argued with.

    Well this ******* is unbeatable. I hope the Wings' shootout luck holds.

    All three forwards deep and here comes Ericsson to pinch... When his team is two minutes away from getting a point.

    He was pushed, barely touched Backstrom, and outside the crease. Horrific call.

    Not very good when a guy manages to get behind your two best defensive defensemen.

    Howard has been on the ball today, and in general recently.

    Great work by Hudler and Cleary. More defense jumping into the play, I've seen more of that today than in a long while.

    Lazy looking clearing attempt by Franzen caused that turnover and penalty.

    Well, I guess. They've been letting that stuff go all day, but I guess the referees are tired of no one scoring.

    I have no idea what that penalty was for.

    You shouldn't say nice things about Ericsson, Mr. Announcer Men.

    Defense has been really active today. Nice play by Rafalski.

    Jimmy's been plenty busy so far.

    Took too long to let it go, Draper.

    No kidding. First shift, odd man rush. Far too many the last few games, bottom pairing is almost always the culprit.

    Oh my goodness gracious it's Chicago's play caller.

    A little confusing that the game that's listed to start at 12:30 isn't starting at 12:30.

    Hudler Haters - Don't let facts get in the way...

    'Tearing it up' is one way of putting it. He scored 12 points in 17 games between those two dates; certainly very respectable, about where he ought to be using his prior season as reference. He has played better since joining Datsyuk, with 8 points in 6 games. This isn't exactly a shocking revelation, I don't think he's ever skated a regular shift with Datsyuk, and in combination with Cleary this is far and away the best line he's ever been on.

    Blues/Avs make big trade

    Blues must be pretty pleased with the trade after tonight's result.

    With two more assists tonight Zetterberg is tied for second in helpers in the NHL.

    Wings have been really loosey-goosey on defense tonight, but mostly hasn't resulted in goals against. Like right there, another odd man rush, Panthers have had a ton.

    Where was everybody? Four guys all around the puck, no wonder Weiss was wide open.
