BJs go to their 4th straight PP.

Salei hooks Boll and the BJs are awarded a penalty shot. EDIT: Only slightly better a PS by Boll than Modano's . Still 1-0 Wings.

FEED THE MULE!!! 1-0 Wings!

2nd on! Break it open here, Wings!

Or Atlanta, or Carolina, or Miami, or Nashville, etc. 145 years later and they still harbor resentment . (but that's neither here or anywhere else outside of PD) After P1 Red Wings: 0 Blue Jackets: 0 Shots on goal are about even, 13-12 CBJ, despite the Wings on the PK 3 times.

Wings kill that penalty in the final minute of the 1st period.

TMM penalty against the Wings. Hudler will serve it. Wings 3rd PK of the game.

Yes, yes indeed to both. I'm gonna try to get the TCV CD sometime soon. Just great music, much better than much of today's "music"! They were originally gonna call themselves "Caligula" but that name was already taken, so they went with TCV as it had no real significance. Until now . About 15 minutes in and the Wings already look better than Wed. Hopefully that'll continue on and NO MORE 4RD PERIOD COMEBACKS!!! Just play 60 minutes, please.

Wings shorthanded. Bert off for tripping.

Ack! Wings nailed the post!

And the Wings go on the PK a minute-and-half in the game.

GAME ON! Bounce back here, Wings!

Maybe he can talk to Pasha about bulking himself up; look at how much Pavel strengthen himself up without hurting his overall a few years ago. I don't know how long Hudler's contract is, but if he has one more year, then he should train with Datsyuk over the off-season. If this is his last year, then I probably wouldn't resign him. Other than that goal against the Avs, we haven't seen that scoring touch/luck from him in the 19 games the Wings have played. You gotta contribute to the team, and Hudler hasn't outside of the Avs game.

Final/Regulation Red Wings: 1 (The Todd) Thrashers: 5 (Thorburn, Ladd (SHG), Stewart (PPG), Little, Byfuglien (PPG))

Wings will still find a way to cock that up . Wings PP

Joey finishing the game out for Howie. Just not a good night around for the Wings. Maybe they shouldn't have sat Hudler

4rd on. Maybe the Wings can pull it out again? A bit further back than they are used to.

After P2: Red Wings: 1 (The Todd (PPG)) Thrashers: 4 (Thorburn, Ladd (SHG), Stewart (PPG), Little)

Like U-M football: no defense .

Another odd-man rush kills the Wings. 1-4 Thrashers.

Ugh, Homer wasn't thinking there, just gave it up and relived the pressure for the Thrashers.

Looking at the current standings, Wings have a 5 point lead over 8th (Canucks), so we can sacrifice a game and not be too badly hurt in the standings (they won't fall out of the playoff hunt). I would have preferred they gave Howie a break tonight, as even if they lose, it isn't against someone in the WC so it won't be a double-whammy of having someone catch them.

I don't think he's been crap, but he does need the Wings to become the puck possession team that we know and love. Passing has been around "meh" to "WTFness?!" tonight. Looks like the Wings are gonna try to keep it close and wait for the 4rd. Again . Can't keep doing that or they'll get burned.

Yeah, I do think Howie needs some rest. He's started, what, 10 straight games now? He needs it. He's also had two straight games where 4 or more goals get by him (granted, not all his fault). Shelf Howie for a game or two and put Joey or, if well, Ozzie, in net, especially Ozzie as he needs to find his groove again (he did fairly well when he had two straight starts).

They were using the FS South feed, that's why they showed the Thrashers' sked. Now they're back to the FS Detroit.
