OMFG, someone got called for diving!!! 4v4 now.

Wings PK after the commercial.

03:40 left in regulation.

Wow, Wings got absolutely lucky on that Nash breakaway attempt! 1-5 for the Wings on the PP. Grab some insurance goals here, Wings!!!!

Wings PP with about 09:30 left in regulation. Get an insurance goal or ten, Wings!!!

THE TODD STRIKES AGAIN!!! WINGS LEAD 1-2 OVER THE JACKETS!!!

4rd on! Break this tie Wings and get the 2 valuable points!!! LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!

Considering that it was O'Halloran that stopped the play, hopefully no one was surprised. Wings may have gotten lucky there as the refs waived "no goal" there. GREAT goaltending from Helmer!!! Saved a goal for the Wings!!!

And the Wings are on the PK.

1-4 on the PP tonight for the Wings.

Garon stunned by the shot from Homer. Not sure why they stopped the play when Garan was clearly alright.

Wings heading to the PP now! Maybe we'll get another PPG!!! LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!

THE TODD SCORES!!! NO SHUTOUT FOR GARON!!! TIE GAME AND A PPG!!!

You saw the "penalty" on that replay. 4v4 coming up for 22 secs.

Wings PK.

Wow, hits TWO ******* posts and somehow stayed out!!! We can't seem to buy a goal now .

I think Arbys should give out free curly fries of the Wings as a whole score three goals. Hell, just one goal would be a victory of sorts . 2nd on.

Teams scrap plans for common 2010 car launch There was also been word that the 4 new teams (Lotus, Virgin, Campos, and US F1) wouldn't have a car to show at the launch date.

Agreed. No need to reduce oneself to goonery to "send a message". The best revenge is to blow the team out when it matters: the playoffs.

No, what we should have done in the past 2 games is, gasp, score! Sure, I like big hits and fights like everyone else, but I rather have the team focus their energies scoring than trying to "send a message". Fights and hits are good and all for the fans, but in the end, the only thing that matters is what's on the scoreboard: more goals than the opposition. That didn't happen in the past 2 games, so what would fights and hits do? I'll pass on the gooning, it has no real place in hockey as it is today. Entertaining, yes, but nothing big comes of it except for highlights on the sports shows.

I do agree that Niemi should have gotten the 1st Star. And good luck with the trip. I hate winter weather here in the Midwest . Gotta grind out this wave of bad luck as Holland can't do anything major right now. Flipper should be back on Sat, so hopefully that will jumpstart the team. I am disappointed that The Todd has reverted back to just Todd. Datsyuk isn't stepping up like he should. Leino, well, yeah, he's a rookie, but one would think that with all of the players out, he should have elevated his game, but he hasn't. I've lost patience with Lebda, she should be gone. Lidstrom didn't play spectacular, not did he play s***ty. Just, average. And with the problems this team has in scoring, that's not good enough. Not by a long shot. PP, as usual, has been lower than whale s*** (haven't scored a PPG in, what, 6 games now?), but at least the PK is keeping the teams off the board more often than not. Every game is absolutely crucial. I'm not worried about getting the division lead, I'm more worried about getting into the top-8 in the conference. We are now in 10th place, 1 or 2 points out of the playoffs. And losing to conference opponents in the top-8 has a double whammy in that we get twice as far behind than if we lost to an Eastern Conference team. Have to grind this out and grind out every point when possible. That means crashing the net if the team isn't given room to shoot, getting to OT at the very least, and just grind and hope there are no more injuries along the way. Essentially, half of the team is the Grand Rapids Griffins, and when you have 9 starters and about 200 goals out of the lineup on any given night, opposing teams would have no problem beating us. This is a painful time for any Wings fan this season.

One thing I absolutely hate are troll fans from opposing teams that do nothing up find some random board of a hockey team and post nothing but trouble, whether it's a Hawks fan on a Wings board (HereComestheHawks), or Wings fans doing it on a Hawk forum. I feel your pain.

No, what we need are some goals.

Don't you love it when trolls make it so easy to catch them. I don't think there's anything Holland can to try to improve the team further without trading away the farm or getting into issues of being cap compliant when the injured guys come back. We're just going to have to ride this wave of bad luck out until everyone is back healthy and hope no one else gets hurt.
