All Ozzie haters, that one was on Raffy. Perfectly playable puck that he just whiffed on.

WOW

Almost game time

Per MLive - Already missing three regulars from the lineup, they lost another player Thursday when defenseman Brett Lebda hurt his back early in the second period. He won't play in tonight's game at Columbus. Derek Meech, who has missed six games with a groin injury, will return to the lineup. "He tried to duck to get out of the way and the guy's knee went into his back, so he's all spasmed up and in big pain," coach Mike Babcock said. "We'll just see how it goes day-to-day here."

It's funny figuring out how many of those players are grossly overpaid

Just got back from the game. Hossa, Datsyuk and Zetterberg are worth every penny to go watch in person, and I gotta say I almost choked when Drapes ripped a shot through Harding! Go Wings!!!!

double

Fantastic news.

I remember when people were saying that Lapointe was the next captain of the Wings.

Last week was brutal. Friday Bruins Detroit Red Wings Sharks Rangers Stars Blackhawks Canadiens Saturday Flyers Kings Blue Jackets Penguins Capitals Bruins Wild Stars Flames Sunday Rangers Sharks Detroit Red Wings Capitals Sabres Ducks Canucks

Scratch that, nevermind

Is it confirmed that Harding is starting for the Wild?

It is actually the other way around. No changes to the lineup from last game.

Are we sure this wasn't an Eklund rumor?

That was pretty brutal. I don't know if they're in the same league as Nashville's mustard yellow and Boston's teddy bear, but its close.

His ridiculousness continues game after game. Thank everything that is right and good that we have him locked up.

I congratulate you

Wings win it...good game
