Filppula is freaking awesome.

HUDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is good!

Man I miss him. I hope the concussion doesn’t hamper him long term.

66 out of 69 games! Far out, what a workhorse. Hart Trophy might come down to Crosby, Lecavalier and Brodeur. I would give it to Vinny because he's leading the league in goals, is 2nd in the league in short handed scoring, and is 2nd in total points. He does everything.

Yeh when I saw that we picked a guy who was disappointing in the draft year only putting up 14 points I wasn’t exactly thrilled. However I couldn’t be happier with the pick now as Jakub is really developing into a great prospect. Thanks for the clips zzz, but I don’t think the elbow to the head of Drummond was anything out of the ordinary.

It’s sad seeing great players tarnish their reputations by playing for a few too many seasons. Lindros for example has a mere 5 goals this season, five! And then what’s even sadder is seeing Roenick, whom I like, speak out about his disappointment that a playoff bound team didn’t pick him up. Why would anyone want him? Some players don’t know when to call it a day.

Kindl up to an 8 which is pretty impressive. I'm also surprised that Abdelkader is rated as our 5th best prospect.

Markov is one of the more injury prone players in the league. We knew this before we signed him so it’s no surprise that he’s injured again. Of more concern is Franzen as we really need his big body for the playoffs. Sounds as though it could be reasonably serious judging by Babcock’s comment.

Emmerton has returned to the ice and in his two games back he has a goal and an assist. Would people agree that Emmerton is our best offensive prospect?

4/6, not a bad start.

Might as well take advantage of the situation! Wow Buffalo were destroyed 5-1 at home to the Wild.

Jimmy had his 4th SO in 8 games. He saved 26 shots and was named the 2nd star. Great signs.

I can't believe Dats didn't get a star. Goal and an assist on the GWG.

The big quesion, did you pick Detroit in Weekend Picks this time?

SAMMY? SAMMY!!!

Sammy has 5 SOG. I wonder how many of them are unscreened shots from the blueline with no chance of going in? Sammy is back alright.

YES! Filppula has been given an assist on Datsyuk's goal.

LEBDA!!!! Gun I tell ya!

Wings prospect Jakub Kindl with a 10-Minute Misconduct. Does that mean he's able to play after 10 mins, or is he out of the game? To go with his 15 PIM's last night. And yet in Detroit Central's profile it says one of his weaknesses is that he lacks a mean streak.

Shift Chart

6:26 remaining in 2nd, Kindl with a goal and 2 assists. He's up against Saginaw, which features Jan Mursak.

There you go folks, Wings score! Dats! Stepped out from the locker room!
