Do you normally get the HD feed from FSD? Maybe they had an issue with the Detroit feed, so they went with the Columbus feed, so you would have an HD option. I am surprised you could see Versus, normally it would be blacked out, if local television was available. I had no issues with the FSD HD feed on Comcast.

If you have a local feed like Fox Sports Ohio, you are not going to get the national game on Versus.

Deep breath.

Whomever Helm was supposed to replace would be back in. So, no additional call-ups, as long as Cleary is okay.

I think Lidstrom/Rafalski will be out there most of the time when Nash is. I don't know what line Torres is on.

Holland has said that he will only call up guys that Babcock said would play.

More than likely, it will be Kopecky.

Holmstrom - Datsyuk - Hossa Franzen - Zetterberg - Cleary Hudler - Filppula - Samuelsson Maltby - Draper - Helm Reserve: Kopecky/Meech Lidstrom - Rafalski Kronwall - Stuart Ericsson - Lebda Reserve: Chelios/Meech Osgood Reserve: Conklin Lilja would go in for Lebda, when healthy and ready

When Ken and Mickey were interviewing Ken Holland about Franzen's contract, he said he and Babcock would discuss the roster issue during the plane trip to Chicago. Holland said he would leave it up to Babcock. If the players were going to play, he would call them up. If they are not, he would leave them in Grand Rapids. Regarding Ericsson, I believe he will be the final pairing with Lebda, since Lilja is not ready, yet. He has had a few issues, but for being a rookie, he looks pretty good.

No third jersey.

I guess with Draper being out, they had to get creative with the players that they had on their roster.

Maltby playing center.

How many first NHL goals do we have to give people?

Whoops.

The end of the video gives the best look at the hit.

I am not sure how you consider this a hip check, when the contact was with the arm/shoulder area. I also am not sure how you can say it is not dirty/dangerous, when he goes after the guys knees.

McLennan, the current Sharks head coach, handled the forwards. McLean handled the D. This year McLean handles forwards and McCrimmon the D.

Did you see the story about how Datsyuk doesn't wear glasses?

I believe they do when a short-handed goal is scored.

It said season ending surgery. I guess he is going to try and play through the pain. Didn't he have a shoulder injury during the Wings 07 run? Is this the same shoulder?

Just an update. It looks like it will be running tonight. http://redwings.nhl.com/team/app/?service=...ge&id=31011
