Yep, remember the days when a blockbuster deadline trade by the Wings was a foregone conclusion? Nowadays, we're just hoping that Holland doesn't waste draft picks on a Cory Cross.

Nope, I was scared of them before. They're scary good this season.

Pre-Forsberg signing, I would have said that we don't have a shot at winning the division. Post-Forsberg signing, my thoughts haven't changed.

I know I can't be the only one who's tired of the Wings being a revolving door of goaltenders. Any acquisitions we make in the offseason should extend beyond the crease.

Blind squirrel...stopped clock...Eklund...

Same here. Not necessarily amazed, but confident. It's our lack of scoring in the postseason that still worries me.

Nuh-uh. That's a wishful thinking article. Plus, I never put too much stock into what the NY Daily News or the NY Post say regarding sports rumors, especially hockey.

Friday: San Jose @ Columbus Pittsburgh @ New Jersey Nashville @ St Louis Vancouver @ Chicago Saturday: Philadelphia @ NY Rangers Atlanta @ Ottawa Boston @ Buffalo Edmonton @ Toronto Carolina @ Montreal New Jersey @ NY Islanders Tampa Bay @ Florida Minnesota @ Nashville Detroit @ Phoenix Colorado @ Calgary Anaheim @ Los Angeles Sunday: San Jose @ Dallas Chicago @ NY Rangers Washington @ Pittsburgh Minnesota @ St Louis Montreal @ Columbus Los Angeles @ Anaheim Colorado @ Vancouver

Unfortunately, a healthy Forsberg will make Nashville that much more dangerous in the postseason. They're making it to the second round this year, if not the Conference Finals. I kept hoping against hope this wouldn't happen and kept telling myself that Nashville wasn't among the teams that he'd waive his NTC for. Guess that was all BS.

Watch him magically lead them to the Cup. It could happen.

73-45 in the 3rd period for the Wings. Damn.

Schneids with the ENG.

Zetterberg scored for your sins? Or something like that? *gets hit by a bolt of lightning* D'oh! I knew all that blaspheming would catch up with me eventually...

Here's hoping Hank can talk some sense into Dats.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They even blew the horn in Dallas! Zetts, first star, no doubt. Stars falling down right in front of him.

Seeing yet another replay...Smith was looking the entirely wrong way. Zetts is a genius.

Yay! We haven't been shutout in 3 games now!

Pardon my language...but HOLY s***. That was an incredible feed.

You know what...we ain't gonna beat Smith. AND JUST AS I TYPE THIS, WE SCORE!!

Drapes. ROBBED.

They're just keeping us to the perimeter. Can't crash the net from the boards.

I wouldn't mind that. Would keep teams like Washington and Pittsburgh from deliberately tanking year to year to accumulate top picks.

Yeah, but when you use such colorful terms as "Osbad", you lose all credibility. Same goes for those who use "Hasuck". It's old and tired. I knew this Wings team wouldn't have a cakewalk with the Stars, no matter who was in net. Ozzie was out of position, Schneider let his man walk right in. s*** happens. Dom's let in his fair share of weak goals this season. So has every other goaltender in the league. Even Brodeur. The fact of the matter is, if the offense can't get anything going, that goal won't matter. You simply can't win a game when your offense scores a grand total of zero goals. Now, if Ozzie s***s the bed in the 3rd and lets in a couple more bad ones...then we can talk.

I'd say it would be a nice wakeup call for this team...but after two disastrous West Coast swings and an embarrassing loss to the worst team in the league...I don't think there's any such thing as a wakeup call for them. Nice chance by Homer there. No dice.

That puck that went through Ozzie's legs...I gotta give him credit for not panicking on it. If he had panicked, that would have pinballed in easily.
