Nyquist (13) from Abdelkader (9) and Larkin (28) - VGK 0, DET 1 Wings playing pretty well. I am pleased. SOG: VGK 3, DET 9.

Jimmy saving our bacon there. GOOOOOSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gord willing!

I mean, it's not like Yzerman wouldn't want the same thing.

HYPE! [insert catchphrase] LGRW!

Big hit from Ehn there behind the Knights' goal line. More of that plz. Make their defensemen uncomfortable in their own kitchen.

HYPE!!!

Hughes, Kakko, Krebs. They muh boyz.

sup Interesting. Thanks for the secret intel dump. Probably unrelated but I remember last season Elliotte Friedman revealed that the Wings had been looking at Dave Tippett as a potential Blashill replacement. (Things were bad at the time.)

Fair question. I get the impression he'd like to stay, because he's put roots down and he's the undisputed starting goalie and there've been whispers about him wanting to stay put, but I guess we as outsiders can't be sure where he truly stands on the matter.

Looks that way. Do that thing, AA. Make a statemen!

This is a land of wolves now.

I figure Holland's pretty serious about wanting to re-sign him and I figure Howard probably wouldn't mind sticking around. Holland wants the team to push for the playoffs next season. If just a few things go right for us, we might have an honest shot at getting back into the playoffs. Howard gives us a chance to win every night, so we're mostly managing to avoid the whole "consistently bad goaltending that crushes the spirit of a rebuilding team that's already low on confidence" thing, which is good.

The more, the merrier! Welcome aboard!

Yup, based on comments Blashill made yesterday, it seems like Larkin's just about ready but they want to be 100% sure he's 100% good to go. Definitely good to see Rasmussen back. Sucks that Bert's still out tho.
