The puck is just not bouncing for the Wings tonight.

Abby and a Pred ready to go, both take visors off, then the linesmen get in the way. Probably the best for Abby though.

Wow, Wings actually had some pressure there.

2-on-1 for the Preds after a Wings player got tripped up and another Wings player falling on a Pred. Thankfully, Joey stopped them.

We're very tough on our players. Very. 4rd on. Another Wings Power(less) Play coming up.

End of 2nd Period DET: 0 NSH: 2 Shots on Goal DET: 18 NSH: 23

Usual Ericsson penalty. Wings PK.

Fire McCrimmon. Microcosm of the season there. SHG for NSH. 0-2 NSH. Fire McCrimmon.

Wings PP.

f***, Muskrat out for the rest of the game .

HUGE save by Joey there on the clusterf*** of a play. Doubt the Wings will build off of that, though .

WTF was that? Reviewing that play.

Remember when a Wings 5v3 meant a goal within 10-15 seconds? Yeah, apparently the Wings don't .

Wings PP. EDIT: 5v3 for the Wings for a full 2 minutes. Strange.

End of 1st Period DET: 0 NSH: 1 Shots on Goal DET: 6 NSH: 11

GAH! Helm hits the post on his SH breakaway attempt! He's actually improving a bit .

Flip off for hooking. Wings PK.

Wings PP coming up.

NSH scores early on the PP, 0-1. Ugh.

Abby off for GI. A much more legit GI call than the ones last night. Wings PK.

NHL.com article, with video of the hit Looking at the video, it did look like Paille got more of the head than the shoulder, so a good call as far as I'm concerned. This is the 4th suspension for a hit to the head, the other 3 are Shane Doan Oct 17 (4 games), Thornton on Nov 4th (2 games) and Matt Martin on Dec 8 (2 games).

Malkin injured in return to lineuo - NHL.com

"Yo, Ricky D! Glad to see you're okay and doing - is that supposed to be swollen like that? Anyways, look, we decided that for your best interest, we'll ask you to retire - seriously, has a doctor even LOOKED at that? Well, don't worry, you should have plenty of money to support yourself and your famiily - don't cry, mate, you might pull a groin or something! What, those aren't tears? Who's your doctor, Magoo? But, in all due respect, you can't stay healthy for us long enough to be effective, and, quite frankly, we're worried about your long term health - was that supposed to fall off like that?"

Seems like the Wings scored their monthly allotment of goals on Weds, it seems . On the bright side, it was a better defensive game tonight than on Weds. Can't blame Howie on this game, no covered Vermette on the first goal and Bert just ignored Boll on the second. Final/Regulation CBJ: 3 (Vermette, Boll, Murray) DET: 0 Wings fall to 31-14-06 (68pts), while the Blue Jackets improve to 24-22-5 (53 pts).

Aaaand there's the required 3 GA night from the Wings . 3-0 CBJ.
