I think LaBarbera can be a capable number one if he stays healthy...Erik Ersberg can stay in as backup; he's done pretty well so far in relief, he's got pretty respectable numbers (1.99 GAA, .939 sv. %, 1 SO in 7 games). GET RID OF CLOUTIER. Granted, no team's gonna want him, but keep him in the minors. Some additional help on defense wouldn't hurt, either. Blake isn't gonna be around forever.

Wings get back on the winning track today, 4-2.

Not near enough. He'd get 4-5 days in jail if he did that on the street. No less than the rest of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs.

"If you want justice, go to Downey."

I was thinking the same thing. Who would you rather face in the 1st round....Nashville or team Luongo? If this win by the Preds helps them get into the 8th spot, then it was a necessary evil.

where's the penalty shot?

3 for 5.....meh. buffalo dessimated the canes

Because Chris Pronger is a part of it.

fixed it

More gems from AllDucks.com : "To point at Chris Pronger and yell "Chris Simon" or to cite Pronger's past and claim that there is proof of his intentions in this incident, which is undeniably caused by Kesler and his holding of Pronger's skate, is beyond naive and is basically prejudicial." So, we're predjudice for calling for a suspension for a dirty player with an overstuffed file of suspensions? "I declare this the Pronger stomp!" Nice. So not only do you condone it, but are making a "dance" out of a player stomping with his skate on other players. "I hope it hurt....." Class act, pal. "The argument that insists Chris Pronger's history is a part of this equation has already been answered by the very people who are a part of that history. Anyone who keeps ringing the history bell is the ding-dong of the issue." So, we should ignore his past actions which prove what type of player he is? And my personal favorite - "the league should suspend Kesler for intentionally trying to trip up Pronger by gripping his leg while pronger was skating away. Chris could have landed awkwardly on the ice and injure himself." Not even worth comment. And the best part is, they're all blaming the "biased Canadian media" for the suspension talk.

It's weird - I had a dream that we re-signed Flip to a 3 year, $4 million deal. That sounds just about perfect, deosn't it?

I remember him playing great in the opener in England vs the Quacks but then pretty much sucking it up the rest of the way....correct me if I'm wrong

I noticed that too. Lookin forward to see what this kid can bring.

Hopefully I'll be goin down there tonight. Has anyone else ever gotten lost on the way down there? I take 96 to Civic Center all the way down to the Joe...but last time I completely missed the exit and ended up down by Cobo

"Chris Pronger is the best defenseman in the National Hockey League" - Don Cherry. And you don't think that he needs to go.

Just got back from the Joe. Great game! Wings looked really solid until the last 10 minutes there - no way should have it gotten that close, but good win nontheless. Stewie picks up his first goal as a Wing!

I had a feeling that I shouldd picked the Sens over Phoenix......we all know very well that even the best teams lose to the worst in the middle of a slump, but I guess it was their time to snap out of it.

3 for 5....meh
