What is this time change bulls***? Both teams have to deal w/ it.

Only one with any gonad is Abbie.

They might be able to trade said midget for some defense.

Only hope at this point is Euro-twin power.

Even if Wings manage to escape this series, I really don't think the defense is good enough to go very far. Too many mistakes in their own zone.

howard looks like s*** today

alright we're back

unf***ing real. Maybe its not meant to be.

Kronner kinda blows too, but yeah if they keep up the pressure and going to the net, they'll get at least one deflection in.

Homer - what an enigma - can't skate but his huge in the offensive zone.

I agree w/ Mickie - Stuart has been big!

Babs has to figure out what to do with Pavs, because his linemates are s***.

in the new NHL running D-men is OK. No boarding calls, no touch up icing, goalies can't play the puck.... Mommas don't let you hockey players grow up to be D-men.

A few notes so far: Flip is everywhere. Draper is a waste of space. Franzen needs to find another notch. Overall, the team is hard on the puck. Good news.

Actually in this game he seemed more engaged. The previous 3...not so much. I contend both he and Bert have to play with some grit for us to go deep. This was the first game from Mule where I thought he was on the right track.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is no way a Quennville coached team will ever win a cup.

great photos... thx

He was physically engaged - so I don't agree. Yes, he took some penalties, but an engaged Mule is much better than a floater Mule.

What if you had a team of Derren Helms.... You would be phoenix. Damn this team is fast.

mo is shifting - I'm s***ting my pants

Igor is 26 and was 3rd in goals with 22 behind Radulov and Thoreson for the KHL team Ufa Salavat Yulayev. 4th overall in points. Here's to his recovery. Anyone have his NHL rights?

Hookers are so misunderstood. Hudler in, Willie out. Whats to discuss? Other than trading someone for a legit top 4 defenceman?

Ain't gonna matter. Our defense blows in its own zone. They look like abused women expecting to get hit by their abusive husbands.

I hate to be doom and gloom but it is in my nature. Lidstrom's best days are past, Rafalski, if he is not scoring, is defensively not a top 2 d-man. Stuart and Kronwall are inconsistent in their own end, plus Kronwall doesn't hit anymore. Lilja is an OK 5th or 6th and E is...hopefully a work in progress. The 5 and 6 are playing to expectations. Its really 1 - 4 that have poopie butts - And it ain't gonna get any better next season. Kronwall and Stuart have peaked. We will need to trade for some good young defensive blood in the next year - regardless of Kindl. Maybe Hudler, Flip or Franzen can nab a top 4 d - man.

I predict at least one team will score one goal.
